Excuse me if this is posted in the wrong section but I wanted to pick on the collective brains/experience of the Family Room ...


We are finally going to replace our old and flimsy (and ugly) front door. We want a Victorian / Edwardian style with two glazed panels but for it to be solid and secure. We had Banham come round and quote but I nearly fell off my chair at the cost... Have tried to do some googling but none of the firms give prices online


So, am I just being unrealistic or is this what it costs to get a front door which looks good but is also secure? Has anyone else replaced their door and have recommendations or sage advice??


thanks

Try Selectadoor in Penge. They don't have a website so it's best to go in and speak to them directly and look at all their door samples. I purchased a standard size Victorian four-panel, half-glazed (sandblasted toughened glass) door and matching fanlight with all locks and hardware, and it cost me somewhere around ?750 including fitting. I was able to use the existing door frame so that saved me quite a bit. The door is solid wood, although I don't recall if it's hardwood or not.


And, if you decided you'd prefer to spend ?8k+, the London Door Company is just down the road so you can pop in to see them as well :-)

    • I had the same thing happen about a year ago... a couple of times in fact. I obviously react a lot less to posts than I used to because it has'nt happened again!
    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
