    Door Fitting / Hanging

    Fitting eight internal doors

    From start to finish the whole experience was great. Fast, clear communication from my first enquiry. Giving helpful advice and recommendations on initial visit. When Tim came to fit the eight doors, it was one of the best experiences we'd had with a trades person in the house. He arrived on time, worked quietly and efficiently and after doing a superb job, he left the house spotless. We could not recommend him more highly.

    Trimming doors and kickboards

    Very good experience, Tim was very polite and cleaned up mess afterwards. Will definitely use again for any future carpentry jobs in our new house.

    Door trimming

    Tim did a great job trimming doors at short notice which was appreciated. He took care to protect the carpet and was courteous throughout.

    Fantastic craftsman - The Cornish Carpenter!

    From start to finish our experience with Tim, the Cornish Carpenter, was superb. He gave wise and helpful guidance for our bespoke wardrobes. He had lots of clever and creative ideas and loads of choices of clever work that he could carry out on our behalf. He kept in regular contact throughout the process and on the install days he worked tirelessly to ensure a fantastic result. We are thrilled with the wardrobes - they look lovely but also have great functionality. Nothing was too much trouble - we thoroughly recommend the Cornish Carpenter and his talented craftsmanship.

I have been a carpenter for over 15 years, 10 years building superyachts and sailing yachts. With this in mind, I have meticulous attention to detail. I started my business 3 years ago making fitted and freestanding furniture, making furniture alterations and much more. I have a small workshop in Ipswich where I bring my clients furniture to life.


I specialise in creating space. From removing partition walls, making bespoke wardrobes to making drawers to slide out from under staircases!


All furniture I make is sprayed to a high standard and can be finished in absolutely any colour.
