Spittlywood Ltd - Windows & Doors Omdömen 3

I am sure that like many others we took our time in finally ordering a new front door. Initially, it was a matter of cost and the need to address other priorities. As the years went by it was a matter of finding a reputable company to carry out the work to provide us with a door made to a high standard reflecting the period in which our house was built, looked really good, and met the need to minimize draughts and any legal requirements.
We live in a typical late Victorian terraced house in London. There must be literally thousands and thousands of such properties. Our ceilings have original mouldings, including the ceiling in the hallway. The mouldings run along two sides of our hallway and directly across the fanlight.
Most suppliers failed to address our anxiety that the mouldings might be damaged when removing the original door frame, before replacing with a new frame.
In shortlisting potential door manufacturers and suppliers we looked at comments on line, checked Companies House records, and whether or not the supplier was a member of Fensa.
Spittlywood, a company established in 2014, who has the same Director since being incorporated as Spittlywood Limited, met all our requirements including:
• they could make a door to our preferred design
• the door would be to the same dimensions as our original Victorian door (some companies provide wider frames and a narrower door)
• include a chamfered edge on the doorframe to reflect the original Victorian style
• ensure that the threshold of their new door frame would not be a trip hazard
• provide a choice of door furniture which included draft proof letterboxes
• work closely with our chosen maker of leaded glazing to coordinate size and fit
• provided us with updates on manufacture, and images of selected door furniture against our door prior to our giving final approval
• provided a wide range of paint colours (we chose one colour for outside, and a different colour for the inside of the door)
• Indicated timings to manufacture, finish, glaze (triple glazed), deliver and fit door and fanlight were met
On the day of delivery, there were two Spittlywood fitters. ‘M’ and ‘V’ arrived on time, and worked tirelessly throughout the day. We understand that they have both worked for Spittlywood for some four years, and their experience was clearly evident as they followed the fitting instructions given to them by Spittlywood. The frame, the door, and the fanlight fitted perfectly. There was no damage whatsoever to the cornices, nor were we required to carry out any redecoration neither inside nor outside on the area adjoining the frame. All waste materials were removed, and we were left with a splendid new door. All we needed to do was to simply admire the beauty of a handsome, well crafted, door and its glazing.
In conclusion, we can only say that we found Spittlywood provided a professional and caring approach from our initial enquiry until final delivery and fitting.
Have we any regrets? Yes – we wish that we had replaced our old door years ago! Frankly, if we had come across Spittlywood sooner we may well have done so. We highly recommend this company.

I recently had my front doors installed by Spittlywood and I couldn’t be more pleased! They were incredibly helpful with the design and timber options. The installation was right on schedule and the team was efficient and left everything tidy. Plus, I received my FENSA certificate at home shortly after the installation. Many thanks to everyone at Spittlywood for their fantastic service! Highly recommended!

Just had all of my front and side windows replaced in a conservation area using the miracle Accoya wood product. I was blown away by the quality, care and precision when visiting the factory before buying and now they are fitted im not disappointed. The feel and look of the product is superior and the bonus was a much warmer home in the process. Steve and the team were so helpful. Would recommend Spittlywood to anyone and i certainly wish to go back for more someday. If Rolls Royce made windows.....
