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 set of internal doors 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 set of internal doors 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
Timber is chosen for the room it is going into. Painted work is built in tulipwood and moisture-resistant MDF because they hold a crisp arris and take a sprayed finish without grain rise. Where the grain is meant to be seen we use European oak, walnut or ash, with veneers laid so the figure runs continuously across a set of doors.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

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
Bespoke Internal Doors in Bristol — common questions
Can a door be glazed?
Yes. Obscure or clear glazing into a moulded frame. Any glass in a door below 1,500mm from floor level must be safety glass to Part N — we specify it as standard.
How much bigger than the opening should the door be?
The door is made to the frame, not the opening. We survey the frame, check it for square and wind, and make the door to suit with a 3mm gap on the sides and top and a floor gap to match your finished flooring.
Why not just buy a standard door?
If your opening matches a stock size, do. Period houses rarely do — original openings are frequently 30 to 80mm off any standard, and cutting a stock door down that far removes the stile and weakens it.
Do bespoke doors have to be solid timber?
No, and often they should not be. An engineered core with a solid hardwood lipping and a veneered or paint-grade face is far more stable across a heated house than solid timber, and it will not twist.
Is bespoke joinery more expensive than a fitted furniture chain?
On a like-for-like specification it is usually comparable, and often less. Chains price a standard carcass and then charge for every deviation. A bespoke maker prices the actual room once. Where bespoke does cost more is in the materials — solid hardwood and sprayed finishes cost more than foil-wrapped board, and they last a great deal longer.
