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

So pleased I made a call to ‘Little Island carpentry’ last year. I hadn’t even looked at the website but I liked the company name….good enough reason! We soon found out that Ross is extremely personable and his work is immaculate. He takes such pride in doing things well and our hall cupboard looked really smart & tidy after he had installed shelving and built housing around the electric meter & fuse box. Recently he went above and beyond when asked to install new kitchen cupboard doors for us….We thought the carcasses would be ok as the apartment is fairly new. However it turned out they were all out of alignment due to initial poor installation. Many others may have covered this up…but not Ross…thankfully! He set to making everything right before fixing the new doors and now we have a brand new kitchen - it’s perfect in every way. Ross never complains and always looks for solutions. His knowledge and commitment to his work is outstanding He is also a genuinely nice person and I cannot recommend him highly enough - you won’t be disappointed.

I was looking to book a benchmarking experience to do with my siblings and dad for his 70th. I couldn’t find anyone who offered this but after messaging a lot of paces, Ross was the only one who replied saying he would be very happy to help do this for us. Ross was incredibly helpful in organising this experience from the designs to the selection of wood and being so accommodating to the dates that worked for us. We did it over a weekend under his fantastic supervision and help who had everything planned out for us! I couldn’t recommend this any more. A brilliant experience, incredibly fun and came out of it with a beautiful bench.

Thank you so much to Ross, Callum, Danny for all the beautiful work that you have done on my new house. Fitting internal fire doors and fitting the Millboard decking. Thank you for being so professional and honouring your word every time. I will post pictures soon.

Booked this company to build a decking feature and a garden shed and very pleased with the results. The costs was very competitive and the workmanship is excellent. Polite, on time, great work and good prices. Would definitely use again.

Daniel was brought in to fit my kitchen, he arrived promptly every day, the work area was left spotless at the end of everyday, any questions or query’s I had were answered and dealt with, I did not need to get involved with anything which was great! The kitchen was fitted to an impeccable standard and at a fair price. Any changes that I requested were made without hesitation. Top quality bloke who knows what he is doing, I would recommend him to everyone.

Danny recently produced and fitted 2 built in wardrobes for our bedroom from scratch. He was professional throughout the whole process and the end products were to a very high standard. I'd highly recommend Austin Joinery and would happily use their services again

Danny recently fitted a bespoke kitchen for me and the workmanship was second to none. Very professional, friendly and clean. Will definitely use again in future projects and highly recommended, 5 stars all round!

Danny did a first class job. The kitchen looks fantastic. He also organised and controlled the other trades, listened to our inputs and finished with a thorough clean and was tidy. Great job!

Benny and Richard are extremely reliable, provide good advice and their work is excellent quality.

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.

Really pleased with our fitted wardrobes. We would highly recommend Richard, he does a wonderful job, is very professioal, punctuonal and leaves every thing clean and tidy. We have used his services twice now and would definately use 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.

Wardrobes look fantastic and fit perfectly! Oly’s attention to detail and workmanship is second to none! We worked with Oly on the design and look initially, he designed the wardrobes to fit through to the on-suite, as well as designing around the pocket door system. Highly recommended and will definitely use Legacy Bespoke again!

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 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 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.

Mitchell O'born Carpentry did a fantastic job. Fitting very heavy doors upto 50kg with precison lining up the new to old hinge cutouts. 11 doors fitted in total all matching designs but varying in size and weight. He was extremely helpful in the consultation phase and I found him to be very trustworthy, polite and very clean. I'd like to point out his level of craft is top "notch" highly recommended.

Mitch is one of a kind. His attention to detail is second to none and shows within his work. He has done a few jobs for us now and everytime he exceeds my expectations everytime. So glad we’ve found someone as versatile as Mitch, goes above and beyond for his customers. Thank you so much. 100% recommend.

Mitch has done a brilliant job of fitting several internal oak doors for us, and a new external door. He is friendly, courteous, tidy and takes great care of our home while he’s working. Wouldn’t hesitate to use him again or recommend him.

Very pleased with the work Mitch carried out. Bespoke wardrobe and a few door amendments. Mitch was very professional, on time and very tidy. Would highly recommend and definitely getting him back for more work. Thanks Mitch.

I LOVE our new gates!! It’s finished our driveway off perfectly Tim is friendly, reliable and trustworthy; he is honest and comes with huge amounts of experience. He is easy to contact and reply’s quickly to any questions asked. He is clean and efficient on the job and we would thoroughly recommend him to anyone. Thankyou Tim!!

We’re so delighted with the bed Tim built for Sophie, it is exactly what we wanted. It’s beautifully designed and constructed. Tim is so efficient, skilful and tidy and clearly takes pride in his work. The price was really reasonable and Tim was very happy to listen to our ideas and adapt things accordingly. To top it all he is super friendly and lovely! Thank you, will definitely be in touch for future jobs and recommend to friends!

An absolute pleasure to work with this talented tradesman. Tim came highly recommended and I can see why, his work was first class. There is no doubt in my mind that he 'loves his job' it shows in the way he goes about his work from the prompt initial consultation to finishing the project to an exceptionally high standard within the time frame discussed. Tim was worth every penny of the fair and reasonable price he had quoted. There is no doubt in my mind that any other carpentry work needed around the house or garden, it will be Tim that I will be contacting.

I once walked past Tim’s business and he was making a lovely tree house for some lucky children. My son was needing a cabin bed to make the most of the space he has in his room and whilst I found a few around they were either too tall, too long or too flimsy. I approached Tim and showed him the design I was after but with some tweaks. He arranged a time to come round and measure up, making sure it’d fit and importantly fit up the stairs. We discussed materials and finish, as well as the nice touch of a small shelf for a nightlight, book and water bottle. Tim took the time to go over everything as well as suggesting varnishes etc. When it was ready Tim popped by and assembled it in the morning before my son got home that evening. It’s meant my son can now have his computer in his room for homework and gaming as well as the Xbox. There’s some nice shelves where he can put his books, Warhammer models and various bits and bobs. His desk chair can fit underneath, though he mainly uses his beanbag. You just can’t get that from a shop made cabin bed with the ceiling height he’s got. There’s some cable tidying to do! You can tell Tim loves what he does and takes immense pride in his work. I’m quite envious of him for that. When my son came home he was surprised by it and called me the best dad in the world. So thank you Tim!

We have used Archer Carpentry for roof line changes and to fit our Handmade Kitchens of Christchurch kitchen. On both occasions Matt and his team were polite, on time, well organised and very quick and tidy. If there were any unexpected glitches Matt found a solution and fixed it without drama. I felt they were very fairly priced, honest and great people to work with. I would absolutely recommend Archer Carpentry and would definitely use them again.

Matt is one of the best, experienced carpenter's I've worked along side. Genuine and clued up on all aspects of carpentry.

I have worked with Archer Carpentry on a number of projects and have always been pleased with the service and quality of craftsmanship. Highly recommend.
