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:

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
