It has been a pleasure doing business with Barry and he has been friendly and communicative throughout the process of me buying and collecting a Tiffany stained glass window panel. He has a great passion for and knowledge of his trade and I'd be happy to buy from him again. Thank you Barry.

Bought some doors from Here and had a great experience from start to finish. The doors are perfect and had been restored very sympathetically by the really friendly team. They even stored them for longer than expected when my van broke down. Highly recommended.

Barry is an absolute fountain of knowledge and a pleasure to deal with. You can tell he has a real passion for preserving beautiful period features and passing them on to people who will appreciate them for many years to come. We are just over the moon with our new front door which has transformed the front of our home. Thank you again Barry!

What a great find. After ages looking for a fantastic door for our new Victorian/Edwardian home I found English Period Doors. Great selection of unrestored and restored doors, there are some real beauties, and we bought one. Office staff and Barrie are easy and delightful to deal with. Answered all my stupid questions with charm and humour. Kept me up to date on the restoration, with pictures and helped me with the delivery; we are at opposite ends of the country. Happily answered the same questions again when I had failed to write down the right paint to use for the top coats and needed reminding

A beautiful door from Barry. He helped me find the perfect door on New Years Day! You really couldnt ask for better service than that. The door was altered to fit, primed and delivered ready to hang. We love it.
