Jack Brunsdon & Son
Doors & Windows Company in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire
Jack Brunsdon opened his first workshop back in the 1940s. Jack was a master craftsman with a passion for making things from wood staircases, furniture, cabinets - but times were hard and the best of British entrepreneurship was required to survive. The snowy winter of 1941 saw Jack diversify into toboggan manufacture, whilst the hot summer of 1947 found the firm turning out deck chairs based on a concept he had spotted in the South of France.In the 50s, when Morris Motors scaled up production of the Morris Traveller,Jack even had a spell making the iconic ash frames for the rear timber bodyworkof this famous wood-framed estate. Over time the crafting of high quality windows and doors became Jacks signature piece and these he installed for universities, banks, church buildings, public houses and prestige homes throughout the region.
In 1964, sensing an opportunity in the emerging glass technologies pioneered by Pilkingtons, Jack formally incorporated a specialist window business. And for fifty years the family has carried on the tradition of providing fine quality windows and doors, first under son Alan Brunsdon and later with Grandson Christopher. Jacks values of quality, craftsmanship and integrity have been firmly upheld and the company has grown by repute to become one of the most well regarded glazing firms in the country.
Today Jack Brunsdon & Son is headquartered at Blenheim Palace Sawmills, just a stones throw from Blenheim Park, where Jack sold his toboggans to the gathered crowds in the early forties.

About Us
read moreJacks' passion for wood craftsmanship continues today in our product and our factory. Our love for wood and knowledge of how it behaves helps us handcraft beautiful products that not only enhance your home, they also stand the test of time. We only use wood from the heart of the timber and only source our wood from ethically sustained forestry. By using millimetre accurate machinery in our factory, we construct an engineered timber that is 60% stronger than a solid piece of wood. This prevents your door and window from twisting, warping or swelling and makes it longer lasting.
