"I researched many companies before contacting Brian. His website impressed me with the galleries of real jobs completed and testimonials. It was also clear he was a skilled craftsmen. Brian travelled from Southend to Horsham in Sussex to measure up our door as it was not an off the shelf door. I was keen to replace the UPVC door which was spoiling the look of our Victorian house. Brian was really easy to communicate with as we did not meet in person until the day of fitting. Brian went the extra mile to ensure I got the door and door furniture I wanted. I sent Brian a photo of a door I found on pinterest and it was reproduced it exactly. The door is a work of art and has brought our house back to a traditional look with high quality craftsmanship. I have had so many compliments from neighbours and friends and would recommend him highly."

  Amazing job from start to finish, met with Brian for consultation and he put our mind to ease. He knew what we wanted as soon as we sat down. We couldn't be more pleased and would always refer Front Door Shop to our family and friends.

  From start to finish Brian was an absolute pleasure to deal with, no nonsense honest advice, efficient and professional service. We told Brian what we wanted and boy did he deliver! The quality of his workmanship is beautiful and we’re now left with a door that we’re so proud of, our house is no longer such an ugly duckling. Given the time and effort that went into creating our door, Brian’s work is extremely good value for money. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a door! Oh and his jokes aren’t half bad either! 5*, very happy customers!

  I can not speak highly enough of Brian and all the team at The Front Door Shop ! I needed a bespoke made front door in oak for a porch I had built, and I was blown away with the finished result ! Hand made oak frame and glazed door, with old school style opening top window ( not something you'll ever get off the shelf anywhere ). I visited Brian's factory mid build to check on progress with my door, and by being shown around the workshop and other projects for other customers I could see the guys we're master craftsman ! The front door shop provide a supply and fit service, and I can honestly say my front door opens and closes as good and elegantly as any super car door in the world !!! Blown away with the quality , and over the moon with Brian and the guys at The Front Door Shop !!!! Everyone should have a bespoke made front door from these guys !!

  Very pleased with our new front door. Brian fully understood our requirements immediately and his firm have made and expertly installed a lovely hard wood made-to-measure door well within an exacting timeframe. Excellent service and reasonable price.

  Brian made and fitted a replacement solid oak door and frame for me in late 2018. I live at a very exposed location, on a hill, subject to the extremes of weather. In spring 2019, Brian returned to further weather-proof the door and make minor adjustments and did so again in autumn 2020. This later work was outside the terms of the guarantee but he made no quibble about returning to do it. He takes great pride in his work and achieves high quality at reasonable cost. I thoroughly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a high quality bespoke product.

  Thank you to Brian (for making) and Brian and Martin (for fitting) our wonderful new bespoke hardwood front door in Blackheath, London. We are particularly happy with the custom design, which lets in so much light. The build quality and joinery is really good, with extra thick wood. Everything fits perfectly, and it swings shut with a solid click, just like a high end BMW (I imagine!). Good attention to security with triple locks and toughened double glazed units. Brian and Martin made a couple of initial site visits to measure up, discuss designs, and check the process for removing the old and fitting the new doors. There was a personal touch throughout, with good communication. The build was completed on time, and the fitting carried out in a day (as promised). The overall price was extremely good value compared with quotes from London companies for less high spec products. So we are very happy, and would definitely recommend Brian, Martin/ The Front Door Shop/ BD Joinery to anyone looking for a new high quality door.

  Having read the reviews, seen the images and spoken to Brian I was confident that I was going to get a great product but I must say the service was excellent from start to end. Brian was extremely patient and helpful during the design phase which can’t have been easy for him but he made it easy for me! And the final product...? PERFECTION. This is a professional who really values the finer details. Thank you Brian and team!

  Very happy with our new front door and side panel from Brian. The quality is excellent and the installation is very professional.

  We are delighted with our new door, which has transformed our house. It is a beautifully made and substantial door, which has been fitted perfectly. Brian has been a pleasure to deal with throughout.
