That does not sound good. If they put their size 9s through your door I hope they will cough up.

If you are looking for a door try to get hold of Matt Cuthbert he is one of the Lib Dem candidates to be a Councillor. He often has things like this around. Message me if you cannot get gold of him and I can put you in touch.

Thanks Justin. They had to use one of those door pounder things. They told us they won't compensate. I'm not accepting that, of course, and am just going through the a claim. 

I may have a lead on one, but if not, I'll contact you to get Matt Cuthbert's details.

Thanks a lot for the reply.

I think I walked by your home yesterday evening and saw someone in the midst of a conversation with the police. You must claim especially if they did this all in error. How absolutely awful. Maybe no consolation but what could fortify your case is that the fact that after them knocking down the door there is now one less door for potential thieves to deal with thus making your home more attractive crime target..

Exactly how distroyed is the door?
If it’s just the lock area it may be possible to patch some timber back in and save the whole thing.
Any chance of localised photos?
no need for door numbers etc
If it’s toast, there are architectural salvage yards near crews hill with Victorian doors galore
may take some time sifting through them though

Door is completely trashed. But we’ve secured the doors into our flats to be secure.

i think I found an eBay seller in Tottenham with a variety of doors. I’m hoping that they’ll have something from the local area.
