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

Beautiful joinery and workmanship

Friendly staff and very helpful!

Over the past 5 years Tony and sons have painted the interior of two farm cottages as well as our kitchen. Fast and professional, they leave the area clean and tidy, the paintwork looks lovely and historic damage to walls invisibly filled. We thoroughly recommend.

Tony has done work for us for around 17 years and has been unfailingly reliable, efficient and cheerful. His decorating work is excellent - he is a hard worker who pays attention to detail and does a very professional job. His sons have thankfully inherited Tony's skills and work ethic and they make a fantastic team who are a pleasure to have around the place.

Tony and his son painted our exterior rendering, soffits and fascias, and all our wooden window frames last autumn. He was easy to get hold of and the quote was competitive. The completed work was of a high standard, he turned up when expected and billing and payment were smooth. I would recommend Tony and will use him for interior painting in the future.

I approached Tony for a quote for some painting and decorating work in August last year. Tony responded quickly and provided a comprehensive and detailed costing for the work which was accepted and we agreed on a provisional start date for the work which was anticipated would take about two weeks. We knew the work would entail quite a bit of upheaval as it was for redecoration of our hall, stairs and landing, two bedrooms, bathroom and ground floor cloakroom. Tony approached the work in a very measured way working round us with the minimum amount of disruption possible and worked in a tidy, well ordered way. Access to some areas was not the easiest and Tony went the extra mile to accommodate access for our electrician to complete some work. He also had a good eye for detail and made sure everything was completed to a very good standard and checked with us every day to make sure we were happy with what he had done. The work was completed on schedule at the agreed price and we will certainly be using Tony again for our painting and decorating needs.

Alex has been incredibly helpful for me buying a new place and working out how to use the available space well. He gave me ideas, designed and made a floor to ceiling inbuilt cabinet, shelving unit and washing machine housing for my utility room and also a bathroom cabinet. And has helped me out with other smaller projects in the flat. He has such attention to detail in his designs and also his carpentry and great knowledge of what works well. He always leaves enough time to finish the job to a very high standard and is tidy, clean and professional. I would highly recommend asking Alex for any inbuilt furniture needs, you will not be disappointed!

I've been really impressed with the work Alexander did on our house during its recent renovation. He expertly fitted out a high end kitchen and did several other bespoke jobs including a fantastic set of cupboards. He is in high demand which is quite understandable, but has been very accommodating around other trades. He also is refreshingly polite to communicate with. I would thoroughly recommend.

Alex has carried out two bespoke hand painted kitchens for us and from initial design to completion he is helpful and professional and provides a top class finish. Also has done some other cupboard units (hallway, dining room, study) of equal excellent quality. Highly recommended

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.

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.

Great service and would always recommend

Recommended to us by our builder, Kings Stag joinery understood the requirement for quality replacement windows made to a traditional design but with the features of modern technology embedded with the design - and they certainly achieved the aim. They proposed several different design options which allowed us to select the most suitable for our house. The fit and finish of the windows is exemplary. Very pleased with the result.

Before and after photos shows what a wonderful job Jon did. It's a really solid, well made door that fits to perfection. Just opening and closing it is a real pleasure! Ask Jon if you would like to come and try it.

Highly recommend J C Carpentry & Joinery. They provide a very professional service and fantastic craftsmanship. They are clean and tidy workers. I would not use anyone else for all my carpentry and joinery requirements.
