The company has closed. The expertise hasn’t.
After restoring over 300 old timber front doors across the North West, I closed The Grand Victorian Door Company in August 2025. I no longer do restoration or fitting — but I still work with period front doors, just differently.
Draught-proofing kits, new handmade doors, leaded glass panels, and a specialist consultation service are all available at The Old Front Door.
What I still do
The restoration work is gone, but everything else that came from twenty years working on old timber front doors is still available. Here is where to find it.
Most popular
Draught-Proofing Kits
The compression seal system I designed for the doors I used to fit. Works on Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian and 1930s timber front doors. Available in multiple depths and finishes, shipped nationwide.
Supply only
New Handmade Doors
Hardwood front doors made to order in traditional period styles. Made in England, delivered to your door. You fit them with your own joiner — roughly a day’s work for someone competent.
From £200
Front Door Consultation
Not sure what your door actually needs? I offer a specialist paid consultation covering locks, draughts, glazing, painting, furniture — and send you a written report afterwards so you can brief a joiner with confidence.
Bespoke
Leaded Glass Panels
I design and make leaded glass panels myself. For a new door or one you already own — period designs, custom commissions, or something designed around your door specifically.
