Purpose-Made Joinery across Bristol
What makes Purpose-Made Joinery work in Bristol is usually invisible once it is finished. Property here runs to Georgian Clifton terraces, Victorian bay-fronted streets and converted warehouses, and each of those brings its own set of dimensions. The exposure here is mild wet westerly weather with limited hard frost, which is exactly the condition that causes moss and algae growth followed by paint blistering on shaded elevations. Where we put the effort is the awkward items no stockist carries, made to your exact sizes.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
Something particular to this area: Clifton's Georgian stock frequently requires exact sash box replication.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Bristol?
Yes. We cover the whole of Bristol including Bristol, Clifton, Bedminster, Horfield and the surrounding villages. Clifton's Georgian stock frequently requires exact sash box replication. Because mild wet westerly weather with limited hard frost, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
How long does a typical order take?
Most made-to-size orders run six to ten weeks from survey to delivery. Conservation and heavily detailed work can take longer, and we confirm the lead time in writing at quotation rather than leaving it open.
