Gloucestershire is a county of Cotswold stone throughout, plus Victorian Regency terraces in Cheltenham. That is exactly the kind of building stock a shopfront fascia 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 shopfront fascia we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Gloucestershire, 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
Fascias & Signboards in Gloucestershire — common questions
Do I need consent to change a fascia?
Advertisement consent is usually needed for the sign itself, and in a conservation area the fascia joinery may need planning permission too. Worth checking before ordering, not after.
Can you fit a fascia to a curved frontage?
Yes, laminated to the radius taken off the survey. A fascia bent on site against its will opens at the joints within a season.
Can the old fascia be repaired instead?
If the rot is local and the mouldings are sound, we splice in new hardwood and re-profile it. If the board is delaminating or the blocking has gone, replacement is cheaper than repeated repairs.
Can a fascia carry illuminated signage?
Yes, if it is built to. We set solid blocking behind the board where the fixings and the cable run will land, rather than leaving the sign company to fix into a thin panel.
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.
