Advice on new front door please!

Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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.

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.

Dear Indigosummer,


I am very sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the service and the quality of the front door that you have received from Voysey & Jones. I have checked all of the correspondence from our recent customers and spoken with all of our employees and we don't appear to have had any customers request a refund or report that they are unhappy with the quality of their door. I would therefore be very grateful if you would contact me directly on 020 8347 9041 so that I can assist you with this matter.


I would also like to assure you that Voysey & Jones do not use subcontractors and never have in the past, all of our employees our full time, permanent members staff. Furthermore, our doors are guaranteed for 5 years to provide our customers with piece of mind should they experience any issues with their front door. We are also more than happy to welcome customers to visit our showroom or workshop to see the quality of our front doors first hand.


Kind regards,


Nick Daulby

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:

    • Gosh, that all sounds so familiar!  Southwark are constantly holding up their Outdoor Events Policy as proof of process, but then constantly allow exceptions when things aren't quite done correctly. Point in case, Gala's licence application - extract from the Consultation Findings Report - "The GALA team formally submitted their application to hold GALA 2025 to the council on the 7 October 2024. It is usually a requirement that applications for larger scale events are submitted with a minimum of 9 months to process them, but discretion can be applied if there are mitigating circumstances. 8.4 of the Outdoor Events Policy clarifies that processing applications received outside the stated lead-in times is at the Council's discretion. In this case: • The council were aware that Assembled Gala were preparing an application for the event to take place in 2025 in advance of their submission date, with operational discussions already taking place • GALA festival has been taking place in Peckham Rye Park since 2018 – less time is needed regarding event planning than if it were a new event • The GALA team already have a Premises Licence in place for this event (this is a pre- requisite for the Event Licence to be issued), so no time needed to be factored in for a premises licence application and decision-making process" So despite the fact that there would need to be major planning decisions due to the change of site access, they didn't think Gala needed to adhere to the same rules as everyone else? Makes me wonder what other rules they are exempted from... On a similar note, has anyone received a Resident Communication letter, containing the contact details for issues? We haven't, and we live directly opposite the site on Colyton Rd. They were supposedly distributed on 29/4...
