We recently had fitted bedroom furniture completed by Mark & Luke. The price we were given was very reasonable. We feel we got above and beyond what we expected and are over the moon with the results. We had done plenty of research when planning our bedroom out to make the best use of storage, but Mark put some savvy ideas and tips forward to us and we are so grateful as the results are ace! This feels like really well made furniture and Mark and Luke went to every little detail to make it a top class job. I will be using these guys again in the next few years when I plan to kit out one of my other bedrooms as I've been really impressed with the results.

Jul 2023 Peakcraft brought to life our kitchen idea which involved utilising space that had previously been used as an outhouse, and making the most of our high ceilings for storage. We are so pleased with our new spacious kitchen/utility room. It is beautiful. Mark and Luke have done a fantastic job. The quality of the units and fittings is excellent and they have extremely high standards of work. This was our second time using Peakcraft, and we are thrilled with the finished kitchen. Thankyou Mark, Luke for your fantastic and hard work (and of course Nichola in the office! 😊) Added this review to my previous one as i seem unable to create a new one Aug 2022 PeakCraft designed and installed our new home office space, and we could not be more thrilled. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Mark and Luke who installed the finished product and Nichola who kept us updated at all stages. Mark is a perfectionist and you are guaranteed a high quality end product. The attention to detail has been very reassuring throughout and the materials used are of very high quality. We are so pleased we have asked PeakCraft to work with us on our next project as they are the best! Thankyou PeakCraft for our beautiful office.

Excellent service all round from the guys at Peakcraft. They designed and fitted a bespoke shelving unit in the old fireplace space in the children's playroom. Nothing was too much trouble, from coming round to discuss the design right through to the final installation. Even suggested a few added extras, one of which was the lighting for the units in the kids playroom, it looks amazing and is complemented by everyone who comes round, it's transformed the space. Thank you - you do a fantastic job!

Wayne and the guys were amazing, even our dog liked them. Had solar panels and battery fitted. The installation was clean and looks great and were saving more than quoted even with our poor weather. Can't recommend enough.

Wayne and his team have seen to all our electrical needs over many years. They are responsive, professional and all really pleasant people to have in the house. Last week Wayne arrived on time (with a smile), wore a face mask and removed his shoes before entering the house. The job he did on this occasion was to fit 3 new LED light fittings perfectly and efficiently. Part of a previous job he did for us was to supply and fit an outside LED light which unfortunately stopped working after only a few months as it was faulty - no worries! a quick phone call to Wayne and he appeared the same day and replaced the faulty light, so we know that his after service is brilliant to. We would not choose anyone else to do any electrical work for us. He is very highly recommended.

Wayne was head and shoulders above the other specialist PV contractors we asked to quote to install solar panels and a storage battery. Wayne was able to answer all my questions during the quoting phase and he and his team were very diligent during the installation. From the outset I felt they were doing their very best for us, rather than a smash and grab - which was the impression I got from the other contractors we approached. Importantly it was Wayne I spoke to, rather than someone from 'sales'. Everything was well explained and after a few weeks of operation I'm really very happy with our system. If you are considering a solar-powered system then you won't be disappointed with Wayne. I'm glad we chose an electrician passionate about his craft rather than a 'pop-up' solar installation company that just want to get in and out.

A rapid response was received by this company who completed the installation of a new 10-way mains fuse box making way for an additional fridge freezer. A clean, neat professional job was completed in record time. Then, another piece of work involved access to the loft to provide connections for two pull cord switches in two further bedrooms. The creative use of trunking meant redecoration was not necessary. I would highly recommend this company for any domestic electrical work.

Rang UC electrical and within a few hours they came, couldn’t believe it. The jobs were done speedy and efficiently and we were back up and running again with power and lighting straightaway. I would definitely use them again. Very professional and two lovely chaps a credit to their company. 5star service👍🏻

Mike came recommended by a plumber I was using. The work that needed doing is in a 100 year old terraced house. I wanted 8 doors fitted, but I knew it wouldn’t be easy as every door frame, all original, are all different sizes and shapes, and I don’t think there is one that’s level. Mike carried on, undeterred, and did a very professional first class job. One frame needed replacing, and once finished, the fit was perfect. I will certainly be using his services again, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone, and I think your search would be long and hard to find a better carpenter. A very friendly attitude, and a liking for Earl Grey tea, so 100% from me

Michael has built for us some beautiful shelves and cupboards fitted perfectly into two alcoves. Would recommend his handiwork to others. We have now asked him to build a new outdoor gate as well.

Michael made us a fitted cupboard with panelled doors to fit the alcove in our living room. The finished result is exactly what we wanted and we're really pleased with the results. Michael's work and attention to detail is to an exceptionally high standard. Would highly recommend Deerpark Carpentry to anyone!

Michael made a cupboard to cover our boiler in bedroom. He did an amazing job. I am very pleased with the quality. It took him only a week from coming to take measurements and fitting it. When he came to my house, he also advised me on some flooring issues and on the following visit he fixed them. Michael was very quick to respond to my messages as well. Michael was very professional, polite and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Michael.

Dean built two removable bathroom units around our existing sinks. They fitted perfectly and when we had some plumbing work carried out one slid out easily. They have feature doors and removable shelving. They are a ‘work of art’ and we couldn’t recommend Dean highly enough.

Rating: 5 / 5

I used Dean for two projects around the house, and I have always been very pleased with his workmanship, attention to detail and ideas to make the project a success. Projects included a new boiler cupboard and shelving unit in the kitchen, and a new bespoke shelving units complete with sliding doors in the garage. Dean has been a pleasure to have around and I value his work ethic. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him & his skills!!
