In 1952 Charles Albert Todd - who was a shopfitter by trade - decided to sell the off-cuts of timber and plywood left over from his day job. He set up a shop from the garage alongside his bungalow in Northolt and soon realised that this was a better business venture than going out to work on sites, and so he put all his time and energy into building a thriving store. Amongst selling a selection of building materials, sharpening shears and selling corrugated plastic sheeting, Charles Todd supplied approximately 200 doors every six months.

The business grew from supplying timber and doing small scale joinery work, including making the occasional door, into sharpening shears and selling corrugated plastic sheeting for lean-to’s and carports. Charles’ son, John Todd, began working alongside him throughout, training to be a carpenter himself.

John Todd takes his father’s place as the head of the Todd Doors business. Having trained alongside his father as a carpenter John looked to build the business up with new premises and a more impressive business output.

John Todd moved the Todd Doors business from the small shack next to Charles’ bungalow to brand-new premises in Northolt.

 In 1974 John Todd became a father to a baby boy. He named his son Matthew.

During the 1980s it became clear that Todd Doors needed to expand its product range to cater for the ever-growing business’ customer demands.

New doors were stocked, different veneers such as Oak, Walnut and Pine became available. French doors and bespoke services were also new additions to the companies line of quality products.

For the second time since taking his father’s place as head of the Todd Doors business, John Todd moves the company to another new location, still on Church Road in Northolt. This property was to become the main Todd Doors showroom, and to this day still stands as that, at the same address on Church Road, and operates as our flagship location.

The late nineties saw the first ever Todd Doors exhibition. Matthew began working alongside his father and gaining first-hand experience and knowledge within the growing company.

John Todd retired, and his son Matthew became the third generation to run Todd Doors and continue the successful legacy. With an ambitious expansion programme, including the development of new showrooms, Matthew began to push Todd Doors onto new horizons.

Todd Doors expanded & opened a second location in Bournemouth. Along with an impressive two-storey door showroom, the site included massive warehousing space & allowed Todd Doors to stock more than 10,000 doors for the first time. A new delivery vehicle based in Bournemouth, allowed the reach of even more customers along the south coast.

Todd Doors expanded once again, a third location in St Albans. Showcasing 2 floors of beautiful doors as well as a Joinery & Spraying facility. 

This enabled further expansion of Todd Doors capabilities, and allowed for alteration and bespoke services to be performed such as professionally spray finishing internal and external doors, assembling pre-hung door sets as well is rebating, supply and fitting of glass.

Head office moved from Church Road in Northolt, across to Belvue Road on Northolt Industrial Estate. With the business now having 3 showrooms and customers all over the country due to the success of the Todd Doors website, it wasn’t long before we had outgrown the office space available in Church Road. The new complex facilitates 35,000 sq. ft. of warehousing, (home to approx.) with the ability to stock well over 40,000 doors.

The additional office space allowed us to further expand our Customer Contact Centre which also opened to facilitate sales through the website, over the phone and through our brand new live chat function.

The new larger warehousing facility initiated the opening of our London Collection Centre. The specialist collection lounge enables customers to have a 30-minute click and collect on orders.

Todd Doors opened its latest branch in High Wycombe, our light and airy showroom spans two floors, showcasing the majority of our internal door ranges, including their accompanying glazed versions.

This stunning showroom also highlights space-saving solutions, such as pocket doors and bifold doors.

Todd Doors further expanded by opening showrooms located in Twickenham and Palmers Green. Our contemporary and vibrant showrooms showcase over 150 doors and a comprehensive range of door furniture (ironmongery), including 140 door handles and doorknobs.

All our displays are conveniently featured on the ground floor, ensuring easy access for visitors.

Our Reading showroom opened, making it Todd Door's first retail park location. Perfect for grabbing a coffee and stopping off at our showroom to look through our extensive collection of doors and door furniture.

The COVID-19 pandemic hit, and Todd Doors had to rely on a skeleton staff to still operate, and for the first time all our Showrooms had to close until it was safe to reopen. 

Our hard work, family ethos and great team allowed us to navigate the pandemic, coming out stronger and more determined than ever before.

Todd Doors celebrated its 70th anniversary! We pride on ourselves for being a family operated company that has stood the test of time for multiple generations.
