    I have used Horner Joinery several times in the past. Always fine him to be fair & honest. Really great in keeping in contact with me regards the goods on order and start date. He arrived as agreed carried out the work to a high standard, cleaned up after they completed the work. Very happy and satisfied with the work carried out - more than happy to recommend.

    Rebuilding the veranda of our summer house. Excellent result. Looks like new

    Really pleased with the result. Ian rebuilt the legs and side structure of the veranda on our summer house. It looked awful prior to the work, and was unsafe. Ian was very professional, and restored the veranda to how it looked when it was new. Other people on this site said they couldn’t restore it to its original features and offered alternative solutions. Ian simply restored it in full. He is an excellent carpenter and I can highly recommend.

    Carpentry for summer house

    Our summer house was tired and weathered after 12 years. Ian repaired the veranda and other features and it now looks as good as new. Really impressed with his work and would highly recommend.

    Replacement porch woodwork in listed building

    Ian went above expectation with both the quality of his work and being so accommodating when we changed our mind about what we wanted doing! The final result was excellent though, and very good value for money.
