    Fit 10 internal doors

    Fantastic. Ashley did a wonderful job. They look fantastic. Also amended the surrounds so they don’t rattle and even fitted an extra 3rd hinge without any additional cost. He cleaned up after himself. Very competitive price. Recommend to everyone.

Hi, I'm a fully qualified carpenter with over 16 years experience in the trade.

I cover a very broad scope of carpentry, from 1st fix Including truss to hand cut roofs.

I specialise in mostly 2nd fix carpentry and finer finishing work.

I have a lot of experience with older period and listed buildings too. Working within the regulations these properties bring with them.

I've worked closely with reputable building firms over the years and still do with some very good companies.

I aim to make all jobs run smoothly, working with the client to give them exactly what they're looking for.
