What can you expect across Bristol?
We work right across Bristol, including Central Bristol, Clifton, Bedminster and Fishponds. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Bristol City Council is the council to check with here. Independent streets such as Gloucester Road and North Street sit alongside Broadmead and Clifton Village, each with its own character.
What is worth knowing?
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
What affects the price most?
Width, the number of doors, glass type and any strip-out. A second door or a laminated upgrade moves the figure more than the colour does.
What are the guide prices?
