  Carpenter

  Highly Recommend!

  Istvan came to fit four internal doors in our home recently and the job has been approached and finished so beautifully. The doors we bought were wider than the frames so the frames needed adjusting as well as doors being hung. Every part of the job was approached so thoroughly and with so much care. He is incredibly thoughtful and communicated with us about each step of the work and about what to expect - he also left our home cleaner than it was when he started. Can't recommend him enough if you need a carpenter who really knows what they are doing.

  Highly recommend!

  We're really pleased with the work Istvan did when replacing our garage door. He was communicative throughout, really skilled, and even came out and replaced the door earlier than planned. We'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable local carpenter.

  Change hinges on the door to allow it to open flush to the wall for extra space.

  When Istvan came to look at the job, we had a sliding door in mind. I already had one quote from somebody which I thought was reasonable. when Istvan looked, he immediately asked if we had thought about just changing the hinges so the door would open fully and sit flush to the wall. A much easier fix for us, one we had not thought about! He did say a sliding door was possible but would be more costly for us. We also thought this would be an easier and less stressful option. I really appreciated his honesty and giving us a different view point. And also one which would definitely not earn him as much money! We're really pleased with the work undertaken. So much so, I've asked him about another carpentry job in my house. I would highly recommend Istvan. Very reliable, honest and clean!!

  Fitting new internal doors and fixing frames. Repairing and replacing external wooden gates.

  Istvan was excellent and I would highly recommend him. His work was of a very high standard and he also repaired work of a previous person.

  Brilliant carpenter! Highly recommended

  Istvan was absolutely brilliant. Really helpful, accessible, and friendly, hard-working and totally professional. He created some built in shelves for us that look fantastic. I can't recommend him highly enough.

  Perfect - This is the second time Istvan has built something gorgeous - it is perfect again!

  Amazing! Built me a new set of fitted wardrobes in a really tricky space on top floor. Super careful, explained all the options and how they would look. Worked long hours to make sure it was done on time, reliable about timings and super friendly. This is the second time Istvan has built something for me and it is perfect again.
