How can Banham Door be cheapest option (London)?

[littleCupcake123]

I'm looking at options to replace my old victorian front door and frame (no glazing) and incredibly Banham seems to be the cheapest option. Banham wants 6000 for an accoya wood door with steel reinforcements, which seem expensive but three local joineries have charged even more for sapele wood (no reinforcements). Does this sound reasonable?

What other options have people considered in London for a timber front door and frame? Unfortunately, I think changing the frame contributes to a 1/3 of the overall cost.

Thank you.

go to an independent joiner. We were quoted 2k for oak & a 'London bar'

Thanks StoneBasket. Actually I went to 3 local joiners who quoted similar - if not higher prices - for doors made of lower-durability wood (sapele).

Did your quote include the frame, or just the door? May I ask the name of the joiner you went to? Thanks
