Good place ot get a hardwood door from

BenEdwards

Something good quality that will not break the bank, preferably glazed.  Wicks do oak ones for around £250 whitch look like what I want but dont know if they are any good.

I would try a local joiner, it won't be as cheap as that but it should be decent quality.

I assume you mean an external door? If you know someone with a Howden's trade account - eg a builder that is going to fit the door for you - go with that.

That's what I did after messing around looking at bespoke composite door (given quotes from £1,500-£5k!) and then doing some skip diving and finding nice looking solid antique doors that wouldn't retain their strength when trimmed to size. Ended up with a good solid oak wood door with trims, lock etc from Howdens for about £300. Fitting was obviously a lot extra but I was happy to pay it.

I more recently purchased an internal door with glass panels from Howdens, that was £125.

The Wickes ones are Oak veneers, so 1% Oak, and 99% softwood. Some of these doors appear to be manufactured by XLJoinery, e.g.  
https://www.xljoinery.co.uk/MTOSUF-Product-Suffolk-External-Oak-Door-MT 
XL offer a 25 year manufacturing guarantee on products you buy from them, so they have some confidence in their manufacturing capabilities. Note that a 25 year manufacturing guarantee doesn't mean that they think the door will last 25 years (but it might used if used as as exit door for a flat where it is not exposed to the weather),it just means that they think you won't find a manufacturing fault regardless of how long they give you to find it. They could give you a 50 year "manufacturing warranty" with no greater risk of claims. If the door is going to drop to bits because it wasn't properly put together, it is going to so in the first five years. Modern glues are stronger than the wood even when having been exposed to the weather, and modern machining tolerances make for very tight joints. The best insurance for your door is regular painting. 

The Wicks doors are only 44mm thick, which is too thin for a door exposed to the elements. You need a 54mm door as a minimum for an external door that it exposed IMHO. 

I've bought 54mm thick Hemlock doors from Jeld-wen (from Wicks or B&Q, can't remember which) many years ago and been happy with their performance as external doors.
