Brilliant and effective marketing, administration and craftsmanship. Ari crafted an oak back door for us having listened to our needs and wants. He delivered on every level and we are delighted. We will return for the front door very soon and any other joinery needs.

Ari helped us design and then made and fitted wardrobes for us. He also laid wooden floors in two separate areas of our house. We have always been really pleased with the work and Ari is an easy guy to have around the house and is totally reliable.

I have no hesitation recommending Ari and Lora at Sherborne Joinery. Ari recently made us a walnut dining table and it is simply stunning! Ari listened to our brief and suggested tweaks which we were happy to go with. He and Lora stayed in contact throughout and made sure we were happy with everything. We’ve not used a carpenter before but I’m so glad we did - the table is superior quality to the online versions I was looking at. We’ve now booked Ari to make and fit new kitchen cupboard doors in the new year. Thanks again Ari and Lora, superb service and amazing workmanship!

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.

Aaron and his team were fantastic. I had my decking replaced last week and was very impressed with the end product. They were very tidy, took away all waste without any fuss and as you'll see from the pictures, it looks great. He also fitted some lights I supplied myself, no questions asked. Price was very reasonable too. Would recommend.

This review is a bit late in coming but so well deserved. This is actually the second time that Aaron has completed my loft conversion after we had a fire which destroyed the previous conversion. Aaron and his team are experienced, knowledgeable and extremely friendly, nothing was ever too much trouble and if I wanted to change anything it was never a problem. I'm hoping to not need a third attempt but wouldn't hesitate to use AB Carpentry again for any projects. Highly recommended and happy to be contacted if needed.

I Recently had AB Carpentry build 2x internal stud walls as part of our extension modifications. Aaron was precise, timely, on budget and polite. I could see he understood what was meant to be done and was happy to leave him on his own in our house. I will definitely use him again in the future and would definitely recommend him. I’m a very happy customer.

Aaron and his team couldn’t be any more professional; they are courteous and considerate of the fact that they are working in your home, we really can’t recommend them enough. The quality of work from the AB Carpentry team was also excellent and done efficiently and always within the promised time frames. Aaron is happy to answer and queries and concerns you may have and explains what work is being carried out and why at every stage of the process. If you are looking for a reliable, local carpentry firm, working to a very high- standard look no further.

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

Rating: 5 / 5

Ben created a bespoke extractor hood surround for us - we had a fantastic experience working with him from start to finish. He was very considerate in his approach, and delivered exactly what we wanted quickly and at a fair price.

Rating: 5 / 5

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

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.
