  Fitted bedroom wardrobes and cupboards and fitted kitchen

  Pleased to see some old fashioned craftsmanship, along with a a friendly and helpful trades person. I initially thought that I knew what I wanted for our bedroom, however on speaking to Brendan he gave me some good advice as to how to get the most out of the available space and provided sound reasoning behind his comments. I found Brendan very pleasant, expedient and very tidy on going about his daily work. The area was always cleaned and left in a safe condition at every days end. Great work, and excellent value for money.

  Custom wardrobes and lounge units

  On May 13th 2021, we accepted a quote from Brendan to build custom wardrobes in three rooms, plus fitted lounge units. We imagined the job would be done in one go. However, it took over NINE MONTHS to complete! Brendan is semi-retired and only works part time, hence it took so long. Some of the individual specifications were lost or forgotten during that time, so we had to waste our time going through them all again. We're pleased with the final results, they are very well made units. But we wouldn't use Brendan again because the project took far too long and became stressful.

  Response from Brendan Fitted Furniture

  I was surprised with this review. The main complaint is the time taken for the job, not the workmanship. First of all, when people contact me, I tell them when I can start job and ask them if they are prepared to wait. I do each job in the order it comes to me after agreeing a design and a price. The customer agreed the design of his first wardrobe at end of May. He must have thought that he had block booked me to do all the work in sequence from then. After doing his first wardrobe was complete, he mentioned a further 2 wardrobes. However, I had another customer's job booked in to do in the order it was received. I then went back to the customer and did another two additional wardrobes in June/July. The last project was two alcove units to my design. On 24th November, I visited and discussed the project with the client. He later involved an interior designer in modifying my design and materials used and adding LED lighting to it. All these changes added to the time taken. I started his job in the workshop a week later. The weekend before Christmas, I was knocked off my bicycle and injured my shoulder and rib. I could not work. I completed his alcove units on Friday 25th February and he seemed happy and has paid the outstanding balance. Over the last period, all trades people have had difficulties in securing ready supplies of timber products. These are the facts.

  Fitted wardrobes and drawers

  Excellent service, very pleased. Having recently moved into a new build flat I needed more wardrobe space. Brendan installed new wardrobes and drawers matching exactly to the existing. Very pleased and would definitely recommend

  Fitted wardrobes in 3 bedrooms. Bespoke shelving in lounge (still to be done)

  Brendan has done a great job with our fitted wardrobes. One of them was an awkward job (around a lintel) but he designed and built it cleverly. He's very thorough, and takes his time to get the details right. He's also reliable and honest, and likes telling a good story or two. He pencil-sketches different options beforehand, to help you choose. Then he does the joinery in his home workshop before fitting on site (with his colleague Patrick, who's a nice bloke too). The only thing I'd improve (in a perfect world) is that the whole project was done in less time.

  Create an integrated work station and bookshelves

  Thanks to CheckaTrade we found Brendan Fitted Furniture. Brendan worked with us by providing helpful solutions to develop our ideas and agree a design that fully met our requirements. With meticulous attention to detail, the final result was an excellent bespoke integrated bookcase and work station of the highest quality and finish. A thoroughly professional service.
