Phil has completed a range of different jobs for us since 2013. Initially we commissioned him to complete a tricky staircase renovation job-his attention to detail and speed were notable. From that point on Phil has completed a loft conversion and most recently an entire house remodel for us. Phil treats every job as if it was his own home and gives valuable suggestions when required. He is an excellent communicator and his son Tom who works with him has become a capable craftsman in his own right. Phil and his team become part of the family when on site and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Friendly, professional & high quality. Would recommend 100%. We started with a request for an attic bannister and has now completed every room in the house inc rebuilding bay window and opening up the kitchen and dining room to laying our garden patios. Fantastic work. !!

Phil and Tom installed extra storage cupboards and shelves into our eaves and did an excellent job. Cleaned up at the end of each day, so asked them to install new bannister/handrail/skirting boards and flooring. Again arrived on time and provided good quality workmanship. Can't recommend them enough, would not hesitate to contact again.

We were having problems trying to get quotes for some building work. Several builders turned up and then never provided quotes which is frustrating. Chiltern Joinery Service was recommended to us and Phil turned up on time and provided a detailed quote within a couple of weeks. Phil kept us informed about when he could start as he had lots of work already in the pipeline. When Phil started work we were informed about what was going to happen each day and who was turning up the following day and at what time. Most other builders just turn up when they want and don’t keep you informed so this was great to have a builder who communicates with the customer. Phil had lots of good advice and incorporated extra work without any issues. The work was done to a good standard and a reasonable price. The work was to refurbish 4 cold rooms in a 1920 house and make them more energy efficient by adding lots of insulation etc. We can certainly feel the difference now and a friend with a thermal imaging camera proved that the rooms are much warmer than the other rooms in the house. After that Phil and his team installed fitted bedroom and office furniture. Phil will be visiting in the near future to fix a minor problem with the roof, and we’ll be happy to use Phil’s services in the future for another bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.

Absolutely fantastic service, so kind and helpful and really listening to what we wanted. Exceptional service. And such a kind person. I am very pleased with our new cupboards, which are custom-made for such uneven walls.

Needed some bar stools shortening and Malcolm did a fantastic job, super quick turnaround. Talked me through it and advised on the best way with his 47 years experience! Always a bonus when the bloke is as nice a fella as Malcolm! I'll 100% be back with any carpentry needs I might have

Thanks Malcolm for planing our heavy duty doors so they can now close properly, the doors are so heavy that it’s not an easy job, and we really appreciated you being able to fit us in so quickly!

Malcolm replaced all of the internal doors within our property to oak vaneer solid doors. Malcolm sourced the doors for us a fitted them to a high standard. The quality of the work was excellent and Malcolm was extremely friendly and professional throughout. I would highly recommend his company.

Jake designed and installed a fitted wardrobe for me. The different stages involved and payment schedule were clearly communicated. There were a number of home visits to take measurements, understand the space and to discuss in detail what I was looking for. Jake provided good options and advice on the wood finish and other aspects of the design. He understood my requirements well and this was reflected in the finished product which looked exactly as I envisioned. Would not hesitate to commission again for any further joinery work. Update: I commissioned Jake to design and install a custom storage unit in my hallway alcove. He understood my brief and worked to maximise the limited space. The unit matches the style of existing joinery including shadow gaps and was delivered primed and ready to paint it myself. Really pleased with how it has turned out and has transformed the feel of the room into a tidier, cohesive space.

Found Jake’s company via Facebook, along with a couple of other firms & also one of the “big boys”. Jake & Jensen came round to help plan our project and give us a quote. Not surprisingly, as a bespoke project, they weren’t the cheapest but we felt happy we would get value for money. That proved to be the case and we were delighted with the final result. We added extra bits to our requirements but Jake was flexible enough to accommodate our requests. We can highly recommend Davidson Bespoke Joinery for the final product and their customer service, along with his contacts who did some electrical work for us,at the same time.

I approached Jake just over a year ago with the idea of having a bespoke kitchen. I was already impressed with work I had seen in other homes but the design process, ideas and attention to detail during fitting exceeded expectations. I love my new kitchen space and it’s admired by so many people. I have since added pieces to other areas in the house, which are equally impressive. The level of service and craftsmanship provided by Jake and Jensen is exceptional and I cannot recommend highly enough!

We have had a brilliant experience with Davidson Bespoke Joinery. Right from the start Jake has been great to work with. He put much more thought into the design than anybody else did and we really felt like he cared about getting the best finished product. It was an unusual space, under the slope of a roof in our loft conversion, but Jake managed to get the finished wardrobes to look like they really belonged there. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and we have already arranged to have some more work done in the spring.

Chris Kelly is not just a carpenter, he is a craftsman...professional, respectful, punctual and produces beautiful work. He fitted our stair skirting boards and new banisters, newels and spindles, and what a beautiful piece of work. I would definitely recommend and will certainly contact him again for future contracts. Superb craftsman and lovely man.
