Bespoke Steel Doors
Crafted to individual specifications, our steel doors combine minimalist design with structural integrity. Using premium low-carbon materials, we create durable, fire-rated options that enhance both modern and traditional interiors. Each door undergoes precision engineering to ensure seamless integration with architectural spaces.
Fire-Rated Glazing Systems
Certified E30 (FD30), EI30, and EI60 fire-rated doors and screens provide safety without compromising aesthetics. Manufactured in Britain, these systems meet strict building regulations while maintaining slimline profiles of just 50mm for unobstructed design flexibility and natural light flow.
Sliding Door Systems
Wall or ceiling-mounted sliding doors maximise space efficiency with near-invisible profiles. Available in single or double configurations, these systems feature soft-close mechanisms and threshold-free designs for modern accessibility and seamless room transitions.
Room Dividers
Customisable glass dividers create dynamic spaces with minimal visual disruption. Offering inline, corner, or U-shape configurations, these dividers use ultra-slim frames to allow natural light penetration while providing acoustic insulation and architectural interest.
Bi-Folding Doors
Tailored bi-folding doors offer expansive openings with slender sightlines. Designed for residential and commercial properties, these systems combine weather resistance with elegant aesthetics, enabling seamless indoor-outdoor transitions and maximised daylight ingress.

Report
We've been very pleased with our bespoke crittall sliding doors from Joshua James and would happily use them again. They were very responsive and quick to provide quotes, drawings and additional information when requested. On installation there was a problem with the weighting of the doors so they weren't running smoothly, this was then dealt with quickly to resolve and a new fitting date to complete works very quickly agreed. They now slide perfectly!

Joshua James supplied and installed two internal glass screens - one fixed and the other with a door. They did an excellent job - provided a quote very quickly, measured up a few days after I accepted the quote, sent me drawings and computer generated images for my approval a few days later and installed the doors in line with the programme they'd advised, a few weeks after that. Looks like they've done an excellent job. I don't normally post reviews, but I found them so easy to work with, and so reliable, that I felt that I should do so on this occasion.

The door and panel look great, a couple of issues along the way were dealt with promptly. Very pleased with it and also happy with the way the team responded to my queries and additions so I got the door I wanted.

Found Joshua James online and was impressed with the products they had to offer. After designing and quoting I decided to proceed and the results of the two sets of doors that I ordered are fantastic. I couldn't be happier with the look and finish of them.
