Admittedly, the doors themselves are quite nice. They are solid wood. However, attempting to install them has been a complete nightmare. Nothing comes prepared, they sent all the wrong fixings, and... See more

Easy ordering process

Easy ordering process. Delivery arranged to our convenience. On the day of arrival the driver called prior to delivery giving us a estimated time of arrival which was really helpful

Worth the Wait

My size of pocket door was out of stock but well worth the wait. I thought the unit was expensive until I saw the finished article. Claira was super helpful when I asked about a part. Delighted.

Not fit for purpose and appalling customer service

We have recently converted a garage into a home office and ordered what we thought were solid oak external doors from this company. They were fitted and stained following the instructions. It turns out they were veneer and the Ronseal product used made the veneer split and warp. They leak around the glass pains. There was nothing in the instructions to warn against this product and DirectDoors have denied all liability referring to small print saying that all customers should ring the manufacturer of the treatment before applying! Indeed it wasn't even clear they were veneer. These Cottage oak doors were clearly not fit for external use and the instructions were poor. The company's customer service was appalling and they have attempted to blame us for their poor quality product and refused to give a refund or replacement. It took weeks to get a response and they kept asking for more information to try to find an excuse to avoid liability. The doors were £1700. We will be reporting them to trading standards. Do NOT buys doors from here.

Hi Katherine,

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

Please let me summarize your review in bullet points.

• It is clearly stated on our website that the doors you have purchased are engineered with a real oak veneer.
• We do advise to check with the manufacturer for the chosen finish to ensure it is compatible with the door itself but this information is available prior to purchasing the goods.
• The doors are suitable for external use however, as with any engineered timber door, they must be treated correctly to ensure adequate protection from the elements.
• As the doors were out of care, treated and hung, then it can take a bit of back and forth to investigate fully. I understand this is frustrating but for us to have the full picture of the concerns raised, then this can take some time.
• Our Customer Service Team contacted Ronseal directly who informed them that the product used was not suitable for engineered timber as it did not offer adequate protection and causing the product to soak into the wood and effect the glue which holds it together.

Should there be anything further you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Ordered a door in October, still not received.

Ordered and paid for a door in October and we still haven’t received. We were originally told November, then December and now after I had to call to chase that it won’t be delivered now until January. We were also told we couldn’t get money back as it’s a bespoke door so now just have to wait. Such poor customer service from managing expectations to lack of communication to getting the impression they just don’t care now they have our money.

Hello,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

Unfortunately, we had to get the pocket cassette in from the factory based in Italy as the stock was not available in our warehouse therefore, I can only apologise for the delay this caused to the order.

This order cannot be cancelled or returned after the order is placed. The door is manufactured to suit the sizes you have chosen making it a bespoke item as you have been advised.

It is not the case that we do not care. Unfortunately, these delays is something completely out with our control and we are doing everything we can to chase deliveries and follow up. I will ensure that you are kept up to date with any new information as and when we have it.

Should there be anything further you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact me.

So sad we bought a Prefinished Fake Suffolk External Oak Door

So sad we bought a
Prefinished Suffolk External Oak Door
1981x838mm (£795.14), only 6 months, the door start to rot in the bottom, we found that it is not a solid oak wood door, it was an engineered composite door and the Prefinished just laminate for the MDF.
Highly not recommended!

Hi Emma, thanks for your quick responsed, as your mentioned, so you agreed that is misleading from your website! Anyway I will send you the photos.

Hello,

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I am sorry to hear of the issues you are experiencing with the door order. I cannot see we have been notified of any issues prior to you leaving a review.

We clearly state on our website that the door purchased is a full decorated real American oak veneer over a solid engineered core.

If you email into us with your order details and images of the door to info@directdoors.com, we can investigate this further with the manufacturer.

Good quality door stops

Very pleased with the variety of door stops to choose from. Purchased several anodised wall mounted and one floor fixed. They all arrived promptly and well packaged - looking good now they’re all fitted. Thanks very much.

(Although I was offered vouchers to post a review, I had already posted a positive review elsewhere and their offer hadn’t influenced me)

Wish I had read these reviews before I…

Wish I had read these reviews before I purchased a door and frame for a £1000. After 20 years as a carpenter I can honestly say this I the worst I've ever seen. After being sent a replacement which was no better. This company is just a middle man to a sub standard manufacturer. They don't care about what they're supplying or have any idea about what they're selling. STAY WELL CLEAR! THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN BY TRADING STANDARDS!

Hello,

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I believe my colleague Claira has been speaking with you about the concerns you have raised. We have all items sent direct from our manufacturers warehouse to minimize the handling of goods and I can only apologise that they were delivered damaged.

Unfortunately, as you proceeded to fit the frame, which was damaged, this deems the goods as accepted and therefore, we cannot offer any replacement on this occasion. However, it was not without sympathy and Claira did manage to offer compensation for you towards resolving the issue on site.

I am sorry that this was not the outcome you were hoping for but as above once the goods have been worked on, there is nothing further we can do.

Should there be anything further you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Terrible customer service/ low quality product

Do not waste your money with this online retailer, if you have any issues, which by looking at other reviews now theres a strong posibility you will!! You will get nothing back from them except excuses of why they cant replace or repair, and then they will blame you for why they will not fix/ compensate you once they have your "returns form".
Ours was because we did not treat the door before it was hanged.
The door was hanged for 24 hours, and ourselves and our builders knew in the morning the issue was with the low quality of the materials and a manufactouring fault of the door.(their was no glue behind the panel
If you belive in any standard of customer service stay clear of this bunch, as they only want your money for their overpriced, low quality doors.
Honestly Stay Clear!!
We paid over £850 for a Mohogany front door and frame from them, and when fitted the panel was warped within 24 hours.i should have went B&Q and paid a third of the price, and then if i had the same issues it would have been replaced staright away.
This has been a very disatisfying experience, so dont use them

Hello,

Firstly, I would like to take the time to thank you for leaving a review. As you will know, it has been myself who has been dealing with the concerns raised therefore, I think it best to bullet point below.

• The goods were delivered 16.09 and stored upright, for over a month before they were fitted. As stated on the label of the door, the doors must be stored flat.
• The items you ordered were an unfinished external door and frame kit which you did not treat prior to hanging nor, did the property have any overhead protection as we advise for external doors.

Like any timber product, they must be sealed and protected to avoid any moisture ingress and egress as I mentioned in my emails to you.

Unfortunately, due to the goods being hung untreated and stored incorrectly, the warranty has been voided and we will not be able to offer anything further.

Kind Regards,
Emma
