Bristol is a county of dense Georgian and Victorian terraces on steep ground where every floor has a fall. That is exactly the kind of building stock a boot room has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Every boot room we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Bristol, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
How we build it
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

What happens next
Four steps, no surprises
Survey
A joiner visits, measures the opening, checks for level and plumb, and talks through how you want to use the space.
Drawings & quote
You get a setting-out drawing and a fixed written price. Nothing is ordered until you have approved both.
Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Boot Rooms & Cloakrooms in Bristol — common questions
Should there be a bench?
Yes. A 450mm-high bench with open shoe storage beneath is the single most useful thing in a boot room — it is where boots come off, which is the whole point of the room.
Can you build in space for drying?
A drying zone with a slatted shelf over a radiator, or a rail on a pulley, works well. It needs ventilation — a boot room that traps damp will smell within weeks.
Do I need a separate room for this?
No. A 1.5m run in a hallway or a section of a utility room works. The value is in the arrangement — bench, hooks above, closed storage below — not the square metres.
How high should the hooks be?
1,700mm for adults, with a second row at 1,100mm for children. Adjustable rails are not worth it — fix them, and add the lower row from the start.
How do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
