Advice on new front door please!


carebear

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:

    • Generally speaking, some medium size market towns and lesser cities always seem more  prone to random violence and aggro generally than anywhere I’ve been in London 
    • Familiarity is important, I lived near Brixton in the old days and was fairly comfortable, but for many years avoided Peckham.  That has reversed in the last 15 years.   I recall around Dalston and the A10 and burned out cars.  Now super trendy. Pub violence has largely gone but that was groups of men getting drunk on Saturday night and brawling.  Similarly little football violence, East Dulwich/West Peckham was edgy last century.
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️   Rod comes highly recommended. He recently completed a challenging job in my garden, fox-proofing an outhouse using a large amount of hardcore and slate. The work involved a great deal of effort, but Rod handled it with professionalism and care from start to finish.   He specialises in working with stone, and it really shows in the quality of his work. He is also an incredibly hard worker, tackling the project with determination and skill. Throughout, he was responsive and reliable, always keeping me updated and communicating clearly.   I really appreciated the practical advice he offered along the way, which showed both his experience and his commitment to doing the job properly. On top of all that, his pricing was very reasonable, and he was an absolute pleasure to deal with.   If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, hardworking, and knowledgeable, Rod is an excellent choice. His number is 07739180197
