City & Guilds Qualified - Level 3

Mr Tim Rayner

I have been a carpenter for over 15 years, 10 years building superyachts and sailing yachts. With this in mind, I have meticulous attention to detail. I started my business 3 years ago making fitted and freestanding furniture, making furniture alterations and much more. I have a small workshop in Ipswich where I bring my clients furniture to life. I specialise in creating space. From removing partition walls, making bespoke wardrobes to making drawers to slide out from under staircases! All furniture I make is sprayed to a high standard and can be finished in absolutely any colour.

The Cornish Carpenter

From start to finish our experience with Tim, the Cornish Carpenter, was superb.  He gave wise and helpful guidance for our bespoke wardrobes.  He had lots of clever and creative ideas and loads of choices of clever work that he could carry out on our behalf.  He kept in regular contact throughout the process and on the install days he worked tirelessly to ensure a fantastic result.  We are thrilled with the wardrobes - they look lovely but also have great functionality.  Nothing was too much trouble - we thoroughly recommend the Cornish Carpenter and his talented craftsmanship.

Fantastic craftsman - The Cornish Carpenter!

Tim fitted a new wooden front door and 13 interior doors. He worked diligently and with the utmost professionalism to complete the job. The finished work has really enhanced our home.  It was a pleasure to have him working on our house and I recommend him without reservation. A craftsman.

Tim the Cornish Carpenter - highly recommended

Good communication and work on the day (6 internal doors fitted) seemed fine. One door handle broke a few months later, however. We contacted The Cornish Carpenter who said he would charge us to return to look at the issue. We asked and paid a local carpenter to carry out the repair. In his opinion the handle had been fitted too tight originally,  causing the internal mechanism to snap.

After sales service disappointing

Great service from start to finish. The doors look lovely, the hardware is fitted well and very respectful of our home throughout.
Good workmanship and a very professional attitude. The doors have made a big difference to the house and we’re really happy with the outcome.

Delivered on agreed work and agreed time of completion. Really trustworthy and genuine.

We found Tim to be very professional and he far exceeded our expectations. He communicated clearly with me, and he was punctual. His work is meticulous and his craftsmanship is 5 star! My husband and I are thrilled with his work and highly recommend him. We will definitely be using him for future projects.  I cannot recommend Tim highly enough. Plus his pricing is fair. When he did the installation he paid great attention to detail and cleaned up after himself. A job very well done!

We had x3 shelves made and installed, and x2 large mirrors hang.

The Cornish Carpenter, Tim, did an amazing job. The quality of his woodwork, attention to detail and installation was excellent. He is professional with very fair pricing. I highly recommend him.

Excellent carpenter, professional and fair pricing
