Full Dining room refresh including panelling
Dean and his team took on a mammoth task to bring my dad’s dining room back to life. Having not been touched in 30+ years they stripped the walls to brickwork before applying a new damp course, sorting rotting joists, levelling the sloped door frame and floorboards, realigning the chimney breast, plastering, fitting new doors, adding panelling and skirting (leaving space for a fire) and fully decorating. No unexpected obstacle was too much to navigate. I was kept informed of progress every step of the way. Happy to recommend Dean to anyone (and continue to do so)Verified reviewerJob location: PO29.67 Bathrooms

Bathroom installation- fantastic
Dean and his fantastic team installed my new bathroom and were efficient and professional from start to finish. Dean took the time to come and view the existing more than once and gave recommendations… I chose my design and products… and Dean and the team removed the existing bathroom and installed the new bathroom, ensuring everything was fitted and finished to the highest possible standard. I couldn’t be happier with the final product, and Dean was brilliant at communicating and giving regular updates, putting me at ease throughout the whole project. I can’t thank him enough.Verified reviewerJob location: PO5RSamantha W10 Carpenter

Excellent Company
They fitted a new oven into our kitchen and created a new storage drawer. This Company has done work for us before we cannot recommend them highly enough. Whether the job is small or big they are always efficient, courteous and professional.Verified reviewerJob location: PO510 Plumber

Help in an emergency
Dean came to my aid while he was working on another job and my emersion heater started leaking. He turned off my water and drained the tank before my own plumber arrived. He also came back later to check everything was ok. Such a kind and helpful young man.Verified reviewerJob location: PO1610 Kitchens

Works completed to high standard and very reliable!
I had contacted 1st Carpentry due to our original kitchen fitter completely messing up and we were left with an incomplete kitchen. Dean and Dave have now finished the kitchen to a high standard and it wasn’t an easy job! Super reliable and friendly and very tidy. I would definitely recommend and for any further carpentry works will go straight the them.Verified reviewerJob location: PO910 Painter / Decorator
