    Built In Furniture

    Posted 06 July

    Great service

    Darren was super flexible when working around some other issues in our house and did a wonderful job of our built in wardrobe. We would most certainly use him again.

    Bespoke Windows / Doors

    Posted 03 July

    Excellent quality work

    Darren fitted two kitchen doors for me in my new house and I’m so pleased with the job! This included building out a bespoke door frame for what was previously a semi open plan layout. The standard of his work is incredibly high, and Darren was really helpful and communicative throughout. 100% recommend.

    Hallway Wall Panelling

    Darren did a great job panelling my hallway. Everything was well organised and the job was completed to a high standard very promptly. I would recommend and use again next time I need a carpenter.

    Darren and his teammate have completed their second piece of carpentry work for me and I’m equally as happy with this as my previous project. On this occasion, they supplied and replaced my staircase bannister and spindles and added another bannister on the adjacent wall for extra support. They also replaced the understairs cupboard door and framework, adding an extra smaller door to the side allowing me to make use of what was otherwise wasted space. They are respectful, tidy and efficient. I have no hesitation recommending them.

    I’d like to thank Darren again for his work at our property. He done a fantastic job installing all our internal doors and wardrobe doors. Very professional, clean and tidy and will certainly recommend to friends and family

I believe that all my work should be done to the highest standards, whether it's creation of new bedroom furniture or replacement fixtures such as loft extensions or new kitchens.or With this aim in mind I start by having a consultation with each prospective customer so that I can accurately gauge their expectations, desired finished details, timeframe and budget. This allows me to advise each customer of the best course of action based on their particular needs and helps me to achieve high rates of customer satisfaction for my clientele.

I treat your home as if it was my own which puts me in the best frame of mind to give you the very best
