The Best Carpenters in Horton, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

What can I say, Ben is breath of fresh air in the construction industry. Having been let down by others and on a critical timeline to complete my project I found Bens details and contacted him as he was local & explained the situation. Ben said he would look at what he could to help and juggle his workload and would get back to me later that day & he actually did! Agreed a date, agreed a price. He turned up on the agreed day and even had the decency to call and say he was running a little late. He came in did the work to a fantastic standard, worked flat out, cleaned up after himself & was polite & professional at all times. I can’t recommend him highly enough, Ben does what he says he is going to do, when he say he is going to do it! Worth every penny of his invoice. PK Chartered Construction Manager

Ben has just built an entertainment wall cabinet for us and we are delighted with the finish. The quality of his workmanship is excellent and he is most polite and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to my friends

Ben was fantastic. We sent a rough drawing of the bookcase we wanted and photos of the room, Ben came round to take measurements and sent through a quote within a few days. Ben was incredibly respectful of our home and despite the type of work, at the end of every day the room was very clean and tidy. The job took at few days and the craftsmanship/precision was perfect. The outcome is better than we had hoped and we receive compliments anytime anyone new comes to visit.

We are so happy with our bespoke chimney breast that Ben built for us. He knew exactly what we wanted and he really delivered. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He sourced the materials so that we could have the rustic look we wanted and the results are amazing. I would definitely recommend Ben. In fact, we have more jobs lined up for him.

Can’t recommend Jonny enough! Clean, tidy & professional. Very happy with our custom build cupboards/shelves and the fitting of new doors throughout the house.

Jonny has done a fantastic job fitting dado rail and wall panelling in my flat. He is very skillful and professional, he has gone above and beyond and the outcome is far better than I could have expected. He was very courteous, communicated brilliantly and even came back on a Saturday to finish the job. Will certainly recommend and will be using him again 🙂👍

We are very happy with Jonny's mastery in carpentry. He's helpful, punctual, tidy and very quick. We will be calling him for more projects shortly and I'd definitely recommend him for anyone in the area. He has also got a great personality, which is a big plus for any tradesperson!

Jonny fitted nine doors at my house last year. Firstly he is a really nice guy, secondly he is a good carpenter, and lastly nothing is too much trouble. For example I wanted to instal the old doors at my daughters and Jonny took them all over there for me in his van. I was very satisfied with the workmanship, he has the right tools, knows how to use them, and the end result has lifted the whole house. He did most of the cutting outside to reduce the dust inside, but hey its wood working and it makes some sawdust. I thoroughly recommend Jonny, he has good attention to detail, cleans up after himself, will happily adjust anything once it’s fitted, and his prices are competitive.

Barry hung 2 internal doors for me. Really pleased with the results. He was quick and tidied up after. He’s also very dog friendly 😁. I would definitely recommend.

Awesome service. They turned up when they said they would. They finished ahead of schedule. Clean and tidy, very polite. The project was excellently managed from quoting to sign off. The craftsmanship was excellent from all the trades involved. The games room looks awesome and I am very happy with it.

Brilliant service! They answered my cry for help on a local social media site as I was in desperate need for an internal door to be fitted (not a standard fit) and had quite a tight deadline. Barry was so friendly and reliable and gave us a really fair price for the job which was completed to a really high standard. I would highly recommend and would use them again.

Excellent service throughout, from first contact to job completion. Timely response on posting job, followed by site visit, which gave me immediate confidence, particularly as it was a relatively small job. Good communication, keenly priced and arrived when scheduled. Tackled some emerging issues as job progressed with good humour and a very positive “can do” attitude. Respected my property and cleaned up on completion. I would definitely use this company again.

Delighted with our new fitted furniture. Richard had some great ideas at the planning stage and then implemented them in a very timely and professional manner. The end result is beautiful quality furniture in our bedrooms.

I am very pleased with my bedroom wardrobe which was efficiently constructed by Richard. I found him easy and pleasant to deal with, he is courteous efficient, calm and helpful. He also provided me with a variety of alternative options and helped me to navigate the decision making and achieve a great outcome. Thankyou.

Absolutely in LOVE with our new fitted wardrobes. Richard really did a fantastic job. Not only did he work with us designing something to suit our budget the work was done in a day with the room left cleaner then when he started working. Would highly recommend.

Richard did a fantastic job for us from initial design to finished wardrobes. The standard of his workmanship is amazing, he is also really tidy so we barely knew he was around. Great quality at a very reasonable price and a lovely guy.

Oly was so friendly and a pleasure to have met. His work is high quality. We gave our ideas of what sort of thing we were looking for, and he met our needs with an amazing design which includes all we asked for an more Will recommend to others

Oly did a superb job installing a wooden Mantelpiece which we're thrilled with. He was punctual, tidy, polite and I would have no hesitation in recommending him. A great job! Thanks

Oly fitted cupboards in our kitchen, office and living room which all look brilliant. He made them in three different styles and was able to accommodate all our requests, even as we kept changing them. On top of that, he is very friendly and good to chat with. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Oly fitted did a fantastic job fitting my new kitchen. He was on time each day and was very understanding when I had to delay the job by a few days. He made a very stressful experience a lot more tolerable and kept me sane! He always left the work space clean and tidy. He was also very good with the dog. Will definitely be using Oly again in the future and would highly recommend.

Martin's carpentry skills & general work is outstanding. We have had numerous jobs undertaken and Martin always completes the tasks to a high standard in good time from carpentry to roofing work, decorating, making window sills and bespoke pieces etc A great all rounder - highly recommended.

Martin recently removed a supporting wall and undertook its making good to enable the extension of our kitchen area. All the work was completed in line with our wishes. He worked tidily, and demonstrated thoughtfulness, care and attention to detail in all that he did. Importantly for us the work was completed in the time frame that was agreed. We could not be happier, so much so that Martin is going to undertake a larger piece work in another part of the house for us shortly.

Quality worksmanship, very conscientious thoughout the build. Gave regular updates on progress and agreed any changes giving options on how to resolve all the little issues we encountered. Really pleased with our new bedroom layout!

Highly recommended Martin He has done Extensive repairs on the internal structure of my house, always on time, polite and tidy He has now carried out repairs to my roof and front wall, any future work I require, I will definitely be getting him back, I Highly recommend him

JC Carpentry is currently finishing a house that we are having built in Lower Parkstone. I cannot rate the owner, Josh, highly enough. He ensures that we are involved in any decisions and his finish is of the highest standard. If it involves wood you should consider him.

We have had Josh and Adrian convert our bungalow to a chalet and they have been very professional with the skills to match. All aspects of carpentry where covered and they were willing to go the extra mile to ensure they could deliver to requirement. I can highly recommend JC Carpentry as they offer a friendly and reliable service that won't disappoint.

I contacted Churchview Joinery about my unfinished windows and doors after the previous company I was using had gone into liquidation and with the added pressure that I was selling my property and so needed all the completed documentation prior to completion. My overall experience was excellent from start to finish and the company was by far the most professional and efficient I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. They are a family firm led my Phillip and Karen Kebby with a small, long serving and loyal team. The company facilities are modern with the added benefit that the joinery, glazing and even spray painting are all done on site. Phillip immediately arranged for new doors and windows to be made whilst Karen liaised with building control and the conservation officer. They kept me involved as the work progressed even sending me pictures and a video of the ongoing work. The new stable door, french doors and windows were beautifully made and fitted to the exact deadline. Churchview then continued to assist with the remedial work and also arranged dates for building control and the conservation to attend the property once completed. The work was subsequently signed off and I am now able to continue with the sale of my property. It is fair to say that it would have not been possible without the team and I am hugely grateful. The new owners are also getting some really beautiful joinery.

Churchview Joinery has just made and supplied our new front doors. What great service from start to finish! Finished a little earlier than promised, the quality exceeded my expectations, they are able to work and produce to my high level of detail and the finish is exceptional. What's not to like? Highly recommended.

Churchview were recommended by the builder of my beach hut. He is very aware of the harsh environment being by the sea, but recommended Churchview doors and windows as being up to withstanding the weather as well as being beautifully made and finished. The order was fulfilled quickly and I was very excited to see the finished results installed. The finish is superb, the mechanisms are excellent. They have transformed my hut into beautifully finished, light filled space which I can’t wait to enjoy.

After struggling to find a solid, well made Victorian style door we decided to investigate the option of having one made & Churchview were recommended to us. We went along clutching a rough drawing of what we had in mind & Karen & Phil were so helpful. They guided us on types of timber, sizing, decorative beading, weather boards, paint & more. They even gave us a tour of their factory showing us the whole production process. Nothing was too much trouble & Karen was always quick to respond to any Qs & communications. Not only did Churchview make our door but they also spray painted our choice of colour. The door quality & finish is amazing. Really beautiful. We are thrilled with the end result.
