  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.

  Exceptional Craftsmanship — Truly Above and Beyond - 5star!

  We recently had wardrobes (with drawers) built in our son’s bedroom & we’re absolutely blown away. The craftsmanship, precision and attention to detail are second to none — the finish is flawless and the room looks incredible. Istvan truly goes above and beyond, offering thoughtful ideas and advice along the way. He’s also transformed our hallway, stairs and kitchen with stunning panelling, and created a beautiful media wall in our snug. Professional, reliable and always spotless — his work is simply exceptional. We couldn’t recommend him more highly
