Ebay and a carpenter?
There are a load of really nice wooden front doors on Ebay.
If you can find someone who would quote for the job they might be able to let you know if a door you find is suitable and how much work might be needed.

Yep.
I got this door for £135 off eBay. It took a few days to sand and fill any imperfections and to then prime and paint it but it was all done, trimmed adjusted and installed by my carpenter for £150.
The whole thing cost me about £350 to do including the paint, new Yale lock etc. I then sold the old one on eBay for £125.

Any recommendations for a company to supply and fit a custom made wooden front door? (SW London).
Just had London Door Company round setting what is hopefully the upper bound. (£6k including the 20% summer sale discount.)
Needs to be hardwood not composite (house is Edwardian). This is a communal front door for two separate flats. Also want ERA locks (pair of keyed alike yale/latch and deadbolt with thumbscrew for night-time) - Banham just too spendy. New frame/sill and all the fitting that goes with that.
