Hardwood french doors?

rosie-lee

Hopefully someone may come along who can point me in the right direction.

I am looking for 2 sets of hardwood french doors 1.8m x 1.8m
We are in Lancashire/North Yorkshire.

Obviously I have looked at Wickes etc but I was wondering if it may be possible to get these made by a joiner instead. I haven't got a bottomless budget but in this economic climate I prefer to spend my money with a small business.

any tips please gratefully received.

I had mine made and fitted by a local joiner. I'm pretty certain he took more pride in his work than a 'shed' place would as he took photographs to put in his portfolio to show future customers.

Thanks Errata, are you allowed on this forum to tell me who you used so that I may contact him?

Errata

Sorry, he did the work about 10 years ago and has now retired. I do remember the total cost compared very favourably with off the shelf stuff.

I am a joiner and make these for a living...pity i'm no where near you though.

My advice is to try a few joiners to get some advice and prices.

1.8 x 1.8 is a standard size which you would be able to get hold of in the likes of B&Poo, Wickes etc but you will find the quality is no-where near the standard of a joinery.

Anything else, give me a shout
