My chippy is suggesting Howdens, but they are priced a little strong for my budget, any other recommendations?

Climadoor?

Need to be very close with some of the doors as there is a small tolerance that can be taken off top/bottom and the sides.

Was a few years ago, but we used Doors of Distinction in Dorset as they had a wider range.

Todd doors have been good for us ~8 years ago.

I imagine Howdens prices for doors are like their kitchens, huge discounts from their original price is the norm.

Another recommendation for Todd Doors, but I think they are only around London?

Purchased 8 Oak internal doors from them a few years ago and impressed with the quality, and I used to work for a carpentry and joinery firm.

+1 on Todds, no complaints, replaced all of the doors in our hose with their 4 panel oak range.

No issues in fitting 103mm deep locks to all of them either.

If you’re buying 8+ doors then you can usually deal directly with with the manufacturer and they’ll deliver for free. For fewer doors you can use a retail distributor but they cost a bit more.

Todd doors are good, as had been said, as are JB Kind. I tend to go for solid core doors, they just have a nicer heft.

Another recommendation for Todd Doors here.

Recently bought 3 x solid core fire door blanks from them and happy with both the doors, and the good quality hinges they supplied. Price was reasonable too.

I think they are only around London, but OP's profile says they are in London too.

Howdens are about the cheapest going, you get huge discounts traditionally when buying from them (think 70-80%+)

They also have a Rooster deal each month which gets you door with hinges and ironmongery with a massive discount.

Other than that google jeldwen doors and look up where you can get them from on line.
