“I'm extremely pleased with the door but have yet to get it fitted. it's sitting near the doorway now but can't wait to see it finally on the sliding door track.”
Hi Gordon,
Thank you for your kind words — we’re genuinely delighted to hear you’re so pleased with the door. It’s always lovely to know it’s made a good first impression, and we hope it looks fantastic once it’s fitted onto the sliding track.
Just a quick note in the meantime: if the door is currently being stored upright and leaning against a wall, we’d recommend laying it flat on a level surface with support across its full length (as advised in our terms and conditions). Storing it upright can sometimes cause movement or bowing, particularly with solid timber products.
If you need any advice before fitting, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — we’re always happy to help.

“The order took a little while to arrive, it it was well worth the wait because the quality of the three doors I ordered is excellent. They are heavier than I had expected and so it’s important to use substantial hinges but that’s not a bad thing and the finish is very good. I would certainly buy again”
Thank you for your review, Jonathan!
We appreciate your patience while waiting for your order, and we’re delighted to hear the doors proved worth it. Solid oak does have that reassuring weight to it, and you’re quite right — using substantial hinges helps everything perform exactly as it should.
It’s great to know you’re pleased with the finish and overall quality. We’d be more than happy to help again when you’re ready for your next project.
Thank you so much for your great feedback, Jonathan! 😊
We’re delighted to hear you’re pleased with the quality of your door and that you felt it was good value for money — that’s exactly what we aim to provide.
And thank you for sending through the image of the door installed — we love seeing the finished result in our customers’ homes! It’s always great to see our products looking their best.
We really appreciate your support and hope to help you again in the future.

“Really poor communication with customers regarding delivery dates and times. After having to contact them on more than one occasion. They finally delivered the three oak doors to the wrong address. And the driver was quite frankly rude and very unhelpful. His response was tough luck either except the doors today or wait another week for delivery to the correct address. Overall a poor experience from them. And sadly I wouldn't recommend using them to any of my customers.”
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your order arrived with issues — this is certainly not the experience we want for any customer.
As explained in our direct communication with you, the issue was caused by an admin error on our side when the order was processed and we do apologise this resulted in your doors being delivered to your billing address. This absolutely shouldn’t have happened, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience it caused. The reason this happened has since been resolved.
Regarding the driver being unhelpful, please know we have raised this to be investigated with the relevant delivery company, we don't tolerate rudeness from anyone associated with us and take feedback such as this very seriously.
We really appreciate your feedback.
Kind regards,
The Team at UK Oak Doors.

“The door is made of several strips of oak glued together to form the frame which has a 4mm oak veneer. Not a solid cut oak door. Tried to complain and told that's how they're made and that they conform to requirements. If your requirement is for a solid cut oak door then avoid!”
Thank for taking your time to leave us a review.
I am sorry there has been a misunderstanding on how our solid oak doors are constructed.
Our solid oak doors are made with 100% grade A, American White Oak. As stated on our website, our solid oak doors are made up of multiple pieces of oak that are bonded together to offer a far superior strength and stability.
If we were to use a single piece of oak and carve each door design out of it, it is far more likely to warp and crack. Typically, we use 2/3 pieces of solid oak which are then laminated together. This adds stability and helps prevent with bowing and warping, it is not sustainable or cost effective to use just one piece of oak.
Please don't hesitate to contact us directly if you would like to discuss this any further.
Kind regards,
UK Oak Doors Customer Service Team.

“Doors are pretty decent, just make sure you inspect them even if there is no damage on on the packaging one of mine was badly damaged, because it was outside the window of their terms and conditions they simply washed their hands of it and then charged me full price on a replacement with no consession not even delivery. Managed to get 10% in the Jan sales, but still miffed they could have done more to make right what was a damaged door they sent me.”
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you’re happy with the quality of the doors, but we’re genuinely sorry to learn about the issue you experienced with the damaged item.
We do advise customers to inspect goods upon delivery so that any damage can be reported within the timeframe outlined in our terms and conditions. That said, we understand how frustrating it must have been to discover damage later on, and we’re sorry the situation left you feeling disappointed.
We always aim to be fair and supportive, even when claims fall outside of our reporting window. Your comments have been shared with our customer service team, as we’re continually looking at how we can improve both our processes and the support we offer.

“This was our second order of doors, having previously purchased three of this same type. We are gradually changing the existing doors to the Suffolk Cottage style. This is the first time that we also needed the frame/lining timbers.
They are beautiful doors and make a huge difference. The only problem is that the door is not identical to our original three Suffolk Cottage doors. From a distance it looks similar (I wouldn't say the same). The manufacturing has changed and the vertical 'panels' are slightly wider spaced and don't appear to be separate panels as they are on our earlier doors, which were quite closely butted together. It now appears to be a solid piece of wood with routed vertical grooves, which have a more pronounced gap.
This aspect wouldn't effect anyone buying a single door for the first time or anyone buying several in one go. It does throw up a visual mis-match if, like us, you are are phasing your work.”
Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review and for choosing us again — we really appreciate your continued custom. We’re delighted to hear how much you like the doors and that they’ve made such a difference to your home.
We’re sorry to hear about the visual difference you’ve noticed compared to your original Suffolk Cottage doors. Over time, manufacturers can make changes to production methods or tooling, which can result in subtle design variations, even within the same door range. Oak is also a natural product, which means that it can subtly develop some minor visual changes over time, possibly without you noticing.
As you’ve rightly noted, this is unlikely to affect customers' purchasing decisions together, but we completely understand how phased projects can highlight these differences. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we’ll be sure to pass it on to the manufacturer.
Thank you again for sharing your experience — it’s genuinely helpful for both us and future customers.
Kind regards,
UK Oak Doors Team
