Good selection and advice with such a wide variety in stock - price was good too. Was slightly disappointed with the timing of delivery (much slower than the 5 days quoted), but other than that, happy with my purchases.

Good Afternoon Sophie,

Thank you very much for your review, we are glad that you are happy with your sliding sash window purchase, it was great working with you.

Apologies that your windows came later than you would have liked? I can see that you placed your order on 14/01/2022 and the order was delivered on week commencing 31/01/2022 (date quoted in order confirmation).

All of our products are made bespoke and we do not quote a lead time as short as 5 days on any of our products. I cannot see anywhere where 5 days has been communicated but we I would be happy to look into this for you if you can provide us with some more details at sales@externaldoorsonline.co.uk.

Kind Regards

Great experience from start to finish!

Recently bought 2 bifold doors from Daniel at External Doors Online to finish off a project me and my partner have been doing for the last few years. What a fantastic experience from start to finish. Customer service was second to none and any questions we had were dealt with swiftly. Delivery times were as stated and the quality of the items is great. Will certainly be using them again for any other refurbs/project we take on! Thank you so much Daniel.

Repeated Delivery Delays. We contacted Double Doors from…

We were replacing our front door with glass side panels with double doors. We contacted External Doors On Line 20 October 2021 after reading their great reviews on google. I wish we had read the reviews on Trust Pilot too.
We were are the end of renovating our home before selling and had an open day viewing planned for 20 November - we have an elderly bedridden aunt who lives with us so a viewing day means we have to move her and carers to a hotel for the day, a difficult, stressful and expensive event for all concerned. Having the new doors installed prior the viewing day was important.
Our initial conversation was with Imogen who was knowledgable and friendly. We ordered and paid for the doors; explaining our time line and received a telephone call from Dan advising he could arrange delivery of the doors on 16 November. We were delighted, I even promised I would be sending them a Christmas Cake back with the delivery driver.
I made their cake, and at close of business on 15 November External Doors On Line wrote advising the doors would be delivered on 17 November. Despite the late notice, we were able to reschedule our installation contractor from 17 to 18 November and wrote back to say 17 November was fine.
The delivery date was moved a further four times - always at close of business the previous business day - leaving us and our contractor totally frustrated. Reasons given for delays ranged from needing to remanufacture one of the doors to no delivery drivers available.
The doors eventually arrived 9 December.
Our House Viewing day went ahead on 12 December without the doors installed - because by this time; understandably; our contractor was unwilling to block time to install the doors prior to their arrival.
On 14 December our contractor returned, removed our door and installed the new doors - they looked good - only one problem - they would close but not lock.
It seemed one door was 3mm narrower than the other, on maximum adjustment their was a 10mm gap between the doors.
To be brief - Dan advised us that they would manufacture a replacement door for delivery, he hoped, on Friday 17 December. I’m sure it will come as no surprise to read that the replacement door delivery was scheduled was delayed twice before it finally arrived which meant we could not lock our house for six days.
Be Aware - no matter what costs you may incur due to External Doors OnLines failure to deliver that which you have paid for when promised - the costs and any resulting problems are yours.
The doors are lovely - but there were no significant savings because of the problems and multiple last minute cancelations.
I donated their promised Christmas cake to a local food bank.
I would not recommend this company unless you are extremely flexible with your expectation of a delivery date.

Hi Susanne,

Firstly, again please let us apologise for the inconvenience caused by the delays with your order.

As a company we pride ourselves on our customer service levels. As you can see from our Google reviews, our customers usually have a very positive experience when shopping with us, unfortunately your order was an exception.

The delivery date initially communicated was a realistic and achievable date. Unfortunately during manufacture your doorset experienced some issues and for this reason failed quality control, again we can only apologise for this. Due to all products being manufactured bespoke, on rare occasions issues can arise which can cause delays in manufacture. We avoid these where possible but unfortunately in this case it meant that the doorset had to be remade.

With External Doors Online being a supply only company we ask that all items are fully checked before the customer arranges any installation. We advise this to prevent our customers incurring any costs in the rare case that a door is delayed, whether that be due to transport or manufacture issue.

Although you are not pleased with your experience, we are glad that you are happy with the quality and appearance of your new French composite door set.

Once again please accept out apologies for the delays with this door, if you wish to discuss anything further please email us at sales@externaldoorsonline.co.uk or call us on 01484 613104.

Kind Regards

Cottage door.

Ordered composite front door in oak with matching frame in November this year at a very competitive price. Delivery was promised around noon 14th December, cost included in price. The door was delivered 11.40am as promised. Fortunately, my measurements were correct and the door was fitted the following day without any problem. One query I had (my lack of knowledge) was answered satisfactorily within the hour.
I would have no problem recommending this company, especially in the light of present day covid problems.

Good Afternoon Lee,

Thank you for your review.

Please accept our apologies for the delay with your door. You ordered a doorstop international door with us and due to the nationwide stock issues the manufacturer was experiencing it caused a delay to your order. We advised as soon as any information became available to us with regards to any delays and offered a full refund very early on in the order history due to the nationwide stock issues being experienced. The refund offer was refused and you decided to keep the order on the system despite the supply issues communicated.

We tried to reach you several times after the order was complete but was unable to reach you. We have checked call log histories since order completion and have not had any inbound calls from the number we have on file for you. Our opening hours are 8.30 - 5pm Mon- Fri and Saturday 9am - 2pm. We would be happy to discuss this further with you. Our number is 01484 613104

composite door

Bought a composite door, which was a competitive price and a scheduled delivery date was given soon after ordering. The door itself seems very good as does the hardware, although the frame is quite flexible and doesn’t seem to have any of the reinforcement which we’re all used to with modern upvc frames these days. The frame reminds me of the cheap upvc frames which were available in the 90s. With very careful fitting and solid packing behind fixings it should be ok though 🤞🏻. I made an expensive mistake in ordering a patterned glass panel which I thought I had confirmed via messaging with the company would be in clear glass, (but my message wasn’t accurate enough) Apparently, although the ‘online designer’ allows you to choose clear glass, some of the patterns are clear and some are patterned. Definitely room for improvement.

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your message.

We apologise that you are not happy with the frame received. We can confirm that the frames are fully tested to ensure that they are suitable for the doors and pass all levels of certification for security and strength.

We have checked back through order history and correspondence and can see that before ordering you asked on our online chat if your door could have clear glass. One of our customer service advisors confirmed that clear is an option you can select on the designer. You proceeded to order your door, but you didn't order a clear glass, you chose a leaded design instead. The glass is shown on the order confirmation email you received and was supplied as ordered.

We would be happy to discuss this further. You can reach us at sales@extenaldoorsonline.co.uk or by phone on 01484 613104

Kind Regards
