carebear Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hi all,We need a new front door and I'm not sure where to start! Have done some googling and a search on here but mostly finding recommendations on who NOT to use, which is of course useful but not getting me very far. Would really appreciate any advice on where to start, how much I should expect to spend, process etc. (eg do we buy the door then get someone to fit it, or would the door people fit it?).Thank you!

AZH Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 It depends how much you want to spend and if you are happy to and can use an off the shelf door. I looked into all this last year and in the end used a company called Voysey & Jones who I would highly recommend. Their service was excellent, the door is really solid and fits perfectly. It was a fuss free experience. The cost was considerably more than using a joiner to fit an off the shelf number but much more affordable than The London Door Company who did not seem to be well recommended. Cost about ?1800 inc vat. Joiner quoted about ?700.

Indigosummer Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 We just had a door fitted by Voysey and Jones and I have to say it was the worst experience's I have ever been through. I mean how much annoyance must one go through just to get a door that works. The quality and general feel is as cheap as B&Q and im in the process of getting a full refund to get my new door from somewhere else. Nick, you owe me.

Indigosummer Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 We heard from a friend recently that voysey and Jones sub contract all there work out and don't cover any if it so if something goes wrong you have no fallback. The doors too are poorly made. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56550-advice-on-new-front-door-please/#findComment-856040 Share on other sites More sharing options...

monica Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hi, there is also Howdens, who I used for a front door. The Builders who were refurbishing my place at the time, recommended Howdens to me. I found a door I really liked, very similar to the one I was looking at on the london door company website, and saved myself over ?600.00.Edited for typo Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56550-advice-on-new-front-door-please/#findComment-856580 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonMark Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Nick Daulby and Jennie Daulby and their several companies are fraudsters, just do a quick search on google and you will find he has stolen over ?300,000 worth of client deposits just from his last company along, Voysey and Jones. Also his carpenters and other people in the trade do not get paid.These two people have a clear strategy for getting money quick and easy, every 2 or 3 years he setups a new joinery company, he will finish a few jobs to get a reputation and from there on they will just collect deposits with no intention of doing any work.Stay well clear of these two people and whatever company they set up next, from a quick search in companies house they have already done so under:59 BPR LTD62 CAMDEN ROAD LONDON NW1 9DR Company No. 08306274 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56550-advice-on-new-front-door-please/#findComment-935528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
