sallyfran Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Has anybody used Distinguish Doors of Forest Hill to supply and fit a door? Or would recommend any other company?

Pickle Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 If they are still the same people that had it when it was known as Dawes for Doors personally I would steer clear, our experience of them was not good. It may have changed hands though, I'm not sure. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27811-distinguish-doors/#findComment-605717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC1964 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Used to be known as Dawes for Doors. We had our front door replaced by them shortly after moving in and cannot fault them in any way. The door itself was of excellent quality, the furniture likewise. It was available for fitting very quickly after we placed the order and, despite our frame being quite a bit off a true rectangle (house on quite a slope), the fitter ensured that the end result was a very snug, draught-free fit. We'll be using them to replace our back door in the next few years as the one we "inherited" from the previous owner is rubbish!

Bobbaz Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The London Door Company were excellent (although not too cheap), but you get what you pay for. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27811-distinguish-doors/#findComment-605909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki73 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Maybe too late but we used Dawes for doors. Also had a bad (and unpleasant) experience. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27811-distinguish-doors/#findComment-609449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo1964 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Can't recommend London Door highly enough. Expensive, but a couple of years on it still looks amazing and solid as a rock.

dirty tree Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 We used DfD two years ago and also did not have a good experience with them. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27811-distinguish-doors/#findComment-609478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGolden Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've used Martin from Omega windows on a couple of occasions: once to fit a window and more recently to fit new kitchen windows and bi-fold doors. He's based in Catford so reasonably local. 07593 518 221 He didn't give us the cheapest quotes nor the most expensive but the best windows in our house are the ones fitted by him.

slimjim Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Just had two doors supplied and fitted by Derrick at Distinguish Doors. I almost didn't go with them after reading bad reviews on here so I thought I would add a corrective. Derrick was consistently courteous and considerate in dealings with him. Turned up on time, hung the doors perfectly, tidied up afterwards and kindly took the old door away for me. Second time we've used them and no problems whatsoever.

Jessica Drader Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I have just had a new front door from Distinguish Doors and they were brilliant! Derick was extremely helpful and patient as I changed my mind a few times. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The fitter, Carl, was an affable chap who went the extra mile to ensure our tickey job was done to perfection. The door itself is truly wonderful. We had an unsafe drafty hideous mess of a door before and we now have an extremely handsome, super secure and ultra air-tight door we both love. We were only able to afford the cheapest option, however, this is extremely good value for money and we feel that we got an excellent deal. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Frankle Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I can also recommend Distinguish Doors - we had our front and back door fitted by Derrick from Distinguish Doors and the service and doors were both excellent!

Emitton Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I used Derrick (Distinguish Doors) for a new front door. I am very pleased with the result it looks very smart, it was reasonably priced and he was very helpful and responsive through out. I have now booked in with him my French doors.

alex_b Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Do you mind if I ask a rough price for a new front door? I'm starting a rough budget for a ton of work we're doing and don't even know a ballpark for that kind of stuff.

HarringtonL Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I had 4 doors changed in my house by (Derrick) Distinguish Doors and I'm very pleased with the outcome. Doors were fitted 3 weeks after I ordered them and all fitted on the same day. I was worried at first after reading some bad reviews online but I gave them a chance regardless and have no faults. I would certainly recommend. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27811-distinguish-doors/#findComment-1051638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
