Brian and his team were working on my neighbours house today and just as they were leaving he knocked on my door with a tortoise! It was lost and found under his van! They were heading off for the day and didnt know who he belonged to but were reluctant to leave it behind. It wasn't ours but we took the little thing in as he looked hungry. Turned out he was a very feisty tortoise and wanted to bite everyone! Just before Brian left he popped in to ask about the little chap and if he was eating and drinking. He wasn't as he was desperate to escape! But we agreed to help reunite him with his owner. Thankfully through the power of Facebook 'Billy' was reunited with his family who only lived 6 doors down within the hour. Apparently he's been grounded for a month ;-) thank you Brian for helping the little dude out - you no doubt saved his little life!

  I contacted the Front Door Shop as well as several other specialists when I needed a replacement double front door at my house. Brian from The Front Door Shop came to my house to inspect the requirements and gave me a competetive price and timeline for the installation of some solid Oak double doors and a bespoke Oak Frame. The service I received at every step of the process was exceptional. The fit and finish of the doors and sidelights is brilliant. It is a vast improvement over the modern Aluminium doors that were previously installed. I have to mention that where Brian & The Front Door Shop really excelled was in taking on a job that 3 other specialists had declined due to the complexities of installation (basically my front door is at first floor level situated within a Porch and is reached by a set of stairs) Brian not only took on the job but there was no harm or damage to the surrounding Porch and entranceway, this is where the other specialists had concerns. It is not often, nowadays, to come across a caring and skilled craftsman who takes huge pride in his work as a skilled Joiner. I wholeheartedly recommend Brian and his team @ the Front Door Shop - thanks very much.

  We found Brian's website via Google and thought his range of doors looked interesting. We rang him to discuss our project. We needed a door that would give a face lift to our renovation -a dilapidated bungalow that had lain empty for more than 5 years. We had an aperture with dimensions out of the normal that needed to be met. He spoke knowledgeably about the woods and the methods he used and invited us to his workshop to view the processes. Our question was would he be able to deliver the finished product to us as he wasn't local? Luckily he confirmed that he liked to deliver the finished products himself all part of his continuous care package. We were intrigued and very glad to visit his workshop as we benefited from his passion, experience and expertise. He showed us strictly (almost in dance mode) the importance of direction in entering and exiting and made us think about where our door furniture should and should not go. We talked about security, light and visibility factors, the side panels and the lead times for delivery. He has excellent contacts who crafted elegant bespoke glazed side panels that set off the warmth solidity and beauty of the oak door. The end result -kerb appeal - simply stunning work of art that stops people in their tracks! We then decide whether they may enter or not. A unique stylish door delivered door to door in good time. It puts a smile on our faces whenever we come home. Can't recommend his work highly enough. Thank you Brian.

  The best way to describe one of Brian's handcrafted doors is a thing of beauty! He is a master Craftsman and buying one of his doors will give your house true character that you won't get with a shop bought door or the dreaded PVC door. I would really recommend that anyone considering a new door pay Brian a visit where they can see first hand how his masterpieces are constructed. You won't want to go else where for a door! Brian gave us some really good advice on the best materials for our dream door and he was also able to build it exactly to our specifications. He also offered to provide us with a free bolt instead of a knocker which we didn't want. Brian thanks so much for our lovely door we love it!! Luke & Helen

  Brian helped design our new front door, and all the way to installation provided progress updates and asked questions in order to ensure we got exactly what we intended. The end result is that we could not be happier! Brian's attention to detail is second-to-none which all adds to the finish, the quality surpassing that which could be bought off the shelf. Installation was also achieved with minimum fuss and disruption to property and lead time was half of that being quoted elsewhere. Great craftsmanship coupled with great service.

  Brian created our lovely new door and was fabulous from start to finish. He gave us progress updates along the way and pictures of the door being made and was great on site. Turned up when they said, did a great job, lovely attention to detail with the mastic matching the grey door frame, quality locks. And the door itself looks just amazing. Now to render the house to finish the look! Thanks Brian.

  Brian listened to what we wanted and kept us in the loop all the way through. He did an excellent job on our double front doors that are completely bespoke. Highly recommended.

  I couldn't be more impressed with my new front door. From start to finish, the service, quality and communication was impeccable. I had spent weeks considering other providers, however there was always something missing. After speaking with Brian, I was completely reassured as he was knowledgeable and friendly. My new door is of excellent quality wood, was fitted by an expert joiner, and he left my house spotless afterwards. Definitely a service to recommend.

  Excellent service with a fantastic end product. So pleased with my street door!

  Extremely happy with our new front door. Brian provided expert advice so that we got the exact style of door that we had been looking for. He was also able to make the side panel bespoke to match the overall design and kept in touch throughout the process to ensure we were happy with the details before installation. The door was fitted quickly and expertly with a professional eye for detail so that the completed job looks outstanding. We are so pleased with the quality of the door and the service provided by Brian we would highly recommend The Front Door Shop to anyone looking for a new door.
