Oak Internal Doors in Bristol
Oak Internal Doors for Bristol properties: a free measured survey, a fixed price, and a door that still closes cleanly in the winter.
Specifying a door for Bristol
Bristol sees a normal share of west-coast weather without the salt load of a seafront opening. Engineered stiles and a properly sealed bottom rail handle it comfortably.
Housing in and around Bristol is largely Georgian and Regency townhouse stock, which suits six-panel raised-and-fielded doors set under a radial fanlight. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

Planning note. Bristol has designated conservation areas and a number of listed frontages. Conservation status can remove permitted development rights on front elevations, and an Article 4 direction can tighten that further. Replacing like-for-like in timber is rarely a problem; changing the material or the glazing pattern usually is. We produce the elevations, sections and written specification a planning or listed building consent application needs. Check with Bristol planning before ordering.
Price and lead time in Bristol

Common questions
Solid oak or oak veneered?
Veneered on an engineered core is more stable and usually the better choice for internal use. Solid oak is heavier, moves more, and costs considerably more.
What drawings will I need for an application?
Usually an elevation at 1:20, a section through the door and frame showing mouldings, and a written specification of timber, finish and glazing. We produce these.
What do conservation officers usually object to?
Wrong material, wrong glazing pattern, and mouldings that are close but not right. Timber matching the original pattern is rarely refused.
What door suits a Georgian townhouse?
Six raised-and-fielded panels under a fanlight, in a painted finish. Proportion is everything: the panels step in size up the door rather than repeating equally.
How do I get an indicative price quickly?
Use the guide-price tool, or send sizes and a photograph. Either gives a realistic range within a working day.
Do you survey before quoting?
We give an indicative price from sizes or photographs, then survey free of charge before anything is made. The survey is what turns an estimate into a fixed price.
