Office pods in Bristol

Bristol buildings, and what they mean for delivery day

Temple Quay, Glass Wharf and the newer harbourside offices are the most straightforward deliveries in the city. Service yards, proper goods lifts, and building managers who schedule this kind of thing regularly. Book the slot, send the documentation, and the install runs to time.

The Old City, Queen Square and the Clifton and Whiteladies Road offices need more care. Georgian and Victorian conversions give you beautiful workspace and, frequently, no lift at all, a narrow staircase with a tight half-landing turn, and a listed-building constraint on what can be moved through it. We measure the route rather than just the room, and where the stairs are the only way up we price that honestly or recommend a model that will actually make the turn.

Aztec West, Emersons Green and the Bristol Parkway parks are low-rise with level access and their own loading, which is the simplest version of this.

Two local points worth raising at the enquiry. The city-centre Clean Air Zone decides which vehicle we send in and what that costs. And Bristol's streets are steep and often narrow, with restricted waiting on plenty of central addresses, so the unloading point is worth agreeing in advance rather than assuming the lorry can sit outside the front door.

What we need to quote your Bristol project properly

Five things, and they take a minute to send. The full address including the floor and unit. Whether there is a loading bay or service yard, or the vehicle unloads from the street. The goods lift's internal dimensions and weight limit, if the pod is not going on the ground floor. Your building's receiving hours, and whether deliveries or contractors have to be booked or pre-registered. And a name and number for whoever will meet us on the day.

Send those with your enquiry and your order comes back with the real installation scope rather than an allowance that changes later. If you are not sure about the lift, say so and we will work it out with your building management.

Installation in Bristol

Our installers are insured, and we will provide whatever documentation your building management or estate asks for before anyone arrives at the loading bay. Where a building only allows deliveries outside business hours, we schedule around it: evenings and weekends are normal for us rather than an exception you have to negotiate.

A pod is assembled in a morning. Two people can do it with the tools supplied if you would rather handle it in house, and installation is priced as a separate line so you can see exactly what it costs either way. If your site sits outside the metro, we use vetted local contractors and the service and the standard stay the same.

Lead time

Pods are made to the configuration you approve, and the current indicative lead time is around four weeks from a confirmed order, with delivery and installation scheduled on top. Your order summary confirms the production, shipping and installation window for your address. If you have a date to hit in Bristol, tell us at the enquiry stage and we will be straight with you about whether it works rather than letting you find out late.

Every model, priced

No quote needed to see what a pod costs. Furniture and installation are separate lines so you can see what each part adds.

Prices are for the pod in the configuration you choose. Finishes, furniture and compatible extras are listed separately as you build. Delivery, destination costs and any applicable tax are confirmed on your order summary, so the total you approve is the total you pay.

What is included as standard

Every FocusPod arrives with laminated glass front and rear, layered acoustic insulation, adjustable ventilation, dimmable LED lighting with adjustable colour temperature, power and an occupancy light. Speech level reduction is laboratory tested at greater than 29 dB under ISO 23351-1, the international standard written specifically for pods. Every pod is covered by our five-year structural and electrical warranty.

There is no separate charge for the black or white exterior or for the standard interior palette. Other exterior colours use the displayed upgrade price, and a custom interior colour is priced per pod. All of it is listed separately as you build, so nothing arrives as a surprise on your order.

See it properly before you decide

Take a look inside. The film below walks through the Solo, the most compact model in the range, and the 3D configurator lets you turn any model around, change the finishes and try the furniture layouts. If you would rather be walked through it, we will do a live video walkthrough of the pod you are considering and answer questions as we go.

Start with your room

Measure the space, count the people who will use it, and build the configuration. It takes a few minutes, no payment is needed, and you will have a real number to work with. Send us the access details at the same time and your order comes back complete.
