Carpentry and Building works
9.5Very happy with the work carried out, replacing rotten support structures cracked tiles and general wear and tear of porch and front of house. End result looks great and was carried out in a professional and courteous manner. Would use them again and would highly recommend.
Location: IP24Re-pointing front of house
9.75Verified ReviewThis was a difficult task as my street is quite narrow so ARA were restricted for space and working on scaffolding very close to traffic. Their work was exceptional, always on time and with attention to detail. My house is in a conservation area and the use of lime mortar is obligatory which in damp weather can present its own problems. As well as pointing they replaced the rendering and top window cills and stuck to their quoted price.They were also a pleasure to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending them. You will not be disappointed.
Location: IP33Lime plinth
10Verified ReviewARA Carpentry was recommended to me by my neighbors as they did their plinth. I’m really happy with my plinth. ARA did a great job that was reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend ARA Carpentry.
Location: IP33Various jobs
10Verified ReviewI had a number of repair/improvements to be undertaken I now feel I have found someone to trust and help me get the work completed. Alan and Howard have been a great help. They boarded out part of the loft, plastered out a cupboard, repaired a window, replaced rotten timbers in a pergola, fixed a leaking part of roof to name just a few. No job seemed too small for them. I have more jobs to follow but I have every faith in Alan’s work and know he and Howard will do a good job. Their workman is of a high standard, very tidy and both hardworking. No hesitation in recommending.
Location: IP31French doors and excellent plastering!
10Verified ReviewAlan and Howard were very courteous and efficient from the start. Alan gave me a great quote and nothing was too much trouble for either of them. They removed an old brick fireplace and surround, removed a dining room window and replaced it with French doors. Alan also plastered my dining room and living room to an excellent standard. Their attention to detail and workmanship is excellent. Both were exceptionally tidy too. I have more work that needs doing at my home and I will be asking Alan if he will do it. Thank you very much!
