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.

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

  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.

  Outstanding service and a quality final product! Brian was nothing but a pleasure to deal with. He clearly comes with a wealth of experience and made various suggests to make the final result as good as it could be. We had 3 on site visits during the process to discuss the finer detail and also went to Brian's workshop to see the work in progress. Highly recommend if you get the chance! Nothing was too much for Brian - he even salvaged the stain glass from our old door and made it into a wall hanging! We can't speak highly enough of The Front Door Shop and would recommend to anyone in Leigh on Sea or surrounding area.

  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

  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 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.

  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 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."

  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!
