House renovation
10Verified ReviewAlan has undertaken a number of jobs for us as part of our house renovation. Various carpentry jobs including the hanging of more than 20 internal doors, plus the fitting of a new kitchen. Also building work including the removal of an internal wall and extensive replastering. All jobs have been completed to a high standard and Alan will be returning to do some further work for us in a few months time.

10Verified ReviewI needed a new ceiling after a water leak brought down the existing one. From start to finish Alan was a pleasure to work with - a sensible estimate, turned up when he said he would, high standard of work, tidy, efficient, no delays. Very pleased with the end result and have no hesitation In recommending.

10Great job by Alan. Very punctual - he was there when he said he would be ! Quality of work was excellent. Really clean and tidy. Nothing to do after he left, other than repaint the bathroom ! Would highly recommend. He’s good quality and prices are reasonable so book him in and he’ll do a great job from what I’ve seen.

Location: IP32Widening of doorframe and creating large bespoke doors
10Verified ReviewAlan at ARA Carpentry and Building did an amazing job for us and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Planned the job meticulously and carried everything out according to plans, including extra hours when required to ensure the job was completed on time and to our deadlines. Alan did a brilliant job in making and hanging two very large and completely bespoke wooden doors, and in very neatly widening the original doorframe. We'll definitely use ARA again and highly recommend them :)
