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!

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

  We have just had a front door fitted by Brian and it is stunning ! Brian is a a real genuine man who has been a pleasure to work with. It is so nice to be able to recommend him as a top quality craftsman.

  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!

  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.

  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.

  We had a door and the wide surrounding frame made. Brian did all the measurements and the frame and door fitted perfectly. The finished job is of a very high standard; we are delighted with it and everyone who sees it is very impressed.

  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!

  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.
