    Internal doors and staircase balustrade

    Craig has completed two projects in our house. He replaced our bedroom and bathroom doors and also the balustrade for our staircase and landing. He was extremely professional, reliable and hard working. The quality of his work was outstanding and I would highly recommend him for any carpentry work.

    Stair balustrading and internal doors

    Craig removed our old wooden spindles and installed oak balustrading and glass panels up the stairs and along our landing. He also replaced all our internal doors and fitted new handles. He made such a fabulous job and it looks stunning. We are so happy with his craftsmanship. His works was carried out in the time he said and he would always arrive when he said he would. He was clean and tidy and a really nice guy. He was recommended to us by a friend and we would happily pass on our recommendation.

    Installation of fitted wardrobes + smaller projects

    Craig was recommended to us by a friend, who could not speak highly enough of his work. Craig has now completed several jobs for us (installed fitted bedroom wardrobes / boxed-in a kitchen extractor fan / repaired skirting boards / trimmed internal doors) and we could not be happier with the results. Craig is a real craftsman who pays meticulous attention to detail and ensures that his finished work is exactly how you want it. He is also a really nice guy. Consequently, we would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family looking for a top class carpenter.

    Cabinets and shelving construction

    Craig has completed several jobs for us in recent years, and all the work has been completed to an extremely high standard. Jobs have been completed on time and for the agreed price, and Craig is always polite and friendly. His work for us has included building shelving and cabinets into alcoves; opening an alcove deeper by removing the old plasterboard addition; building wardrobes with shelving and hanging space and repairing a fence. He makes good suggestions and has a good design sense for what will work and look nice in a space, but he has also been willing to work with our preferences.

    Wardrobes, staircase refurbishment, installation of glazed internal door

    We are so glad Craig was recommended to us. He is an excellent craftsman but he is also prompt, hard working, and a good communicator. Nothing is a problem for him. A pleasure to have working in the house.

Welcome to Craig Shaw Carpentry. Originally from Zimbabwe, I started my carpentry career in South Africa in 1997 working for a business that set up a luxury bushcamp in the Kruger National Park area. My work then took me to doing various fit outs in luxury safari lodges in the Sabi Sand game reserve and other parts of South Africa. I also designed and made a rustic furniture range which was very popular.

I do a wide range of work, as you can see in my gallery, which include full refurbishments, new build fitouts, extensions, and a whole range of carpentry work which include built-in wardrobes, kitchen fitting, flooring, fencing etc.

Based in Ashford, I have been working on many new build projects since being here, as well as other carpentry jobs all over this part of Kent. I consider myself polite, reliable, punctual and conscientious when dealing with clients and I am happy to deal with all enquiries.

I have an NVQ level II in carpentry as well as a Certificate III in Carpentry which is an Australian qualification.
