The Best Carpenters in Nether Compton, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

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

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.

Extremely grateful for Olys work fitting our kitchen in around other projects on the busy run up to Christmas. High attention to detail, punctual and good fun to have around. Our dog even took to him, which should say enough! Top man and well recommended! Thank you Oly!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Leigh came in to remove our previous kitchen units and replace with a fridge freezer, tall IKEA kitchen unit reducing the depth, and use the recycled counter to create a shelf and move a light switch. Very happy with the work he completed, he did everything in the indicated time, worked around the kids asking him questions and trying to involve him in their conversations and games. Tidied up inside and took everything away including packaging and the old unit!

Leigh installed our complete kitchen and breakfast room. Nothing was too much trouble and the final finish was outstanding. We are totally loving our new kitchen. Leigh completed on time at a fair price. Would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Leigh has fitted a beautiful gate for our drive, built a breakfast bar which fits in so well with our existing kitchen that it looks as though it was always there, fitted loft hatches and replaced an old bedroom carpet with a gorgeous solid wood floor. He works incredibly hard, and is thoughtful in his approach, going above and beyond expectations. We're so glad to have found him and will happily recommend him to anyone who asks.

A great job and I would recommend Leigh to others. Leigh is a very skilled carpenter and overall tradesman. He has completed many jobs for us, always in an excellent and professional manner. Leigh is totally reliable, honest, hard working and gives a great finish to every job

Wyvern Joinery could not have been better. Every one involved in a fairly large job to replace 10 windows in my listed house was helpful, punctual and the windows themselves were really well made. I am so pleased to have found these guys and could not recommend them highly enough.

I have to say that I am astounded at how good my new staircase is. Wyvern quoted competitively, took lots of measurements and because I was asking for an open string staircase (a bit specialist and not a production line item) to match an existing Edwardian staircase, they went through the details of what they'd do thoroughly before producing the contract. Once the staircase was made, they turned up on time, cracked on with the work at an impressive pace, cleaned up after themselves every evening (much appreciated), and the end product is a thing of great beauty. They worked really hard to accommodate the uneven walls of my house so that all the custom turned newel posts lined up perfectly, they built a half landing that feels really solid and secure and managed to produce spindles that were identical to the originals so that, once painted, the new staircase will look like it has always been in the house. I feel like I got very lucky with finding Wyvern Joinery and couldn't have asked for a better outcome - highly recommended.

100% recommended . Super professional.

Woodley's carried out a partial demolition of a derelict property and complete rebuild for us. The property in the main photo. The contract included the clearance of the site, rebuild and all the exterior work. The whole process was stress free, on time and on budget. They paid great attention to detail, with superb finish and we are delighted with our new home.

Woodley Building re-modelled the interior of my new home. The property is old and Mark and his team were innovative, creative and practical in solving the various issues that arose as work progressed. The unparalleled attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship of the team ensured that the finished article is a home I love.

Helpful staff and local builders

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

We used Sean to fit our kitchen. Great workmanship, attention to detail is second to none. We had the wrong size door sent from our suppliers, we didn't have time to have a new one sent out so Sean cut it down to size and made it work, you would never know. We will be contacting Sean to lay our flooring in the future. Thanks Sean we will see you again soon.

We have used Sean's services a number of times. The biggest job was the complete redesign and renovation of our bedroom and ensuite. The quality of Sean's work is excellent and he has a flare for design. He even met me to help me select flooring and tiles which was really helpful. We were so pleased with the end result. We won't hesitate to use him again.

Sean designed and built our beautiful fitted wardrobes for our small bedroom a couple of years ago and we are still so glad that we asked him to do it. Sean's attention to detail and care for his work goes above and beyond. He is friendly, professional, talented and extremely hard-working. I will always recommend Sean for any carpentry or bespoke furniture jobs! Thanks again

We wouldn’t ask anyone else ☺️ We’ve had Sean do our fitted wardrobes,, fit new doors on existing cupboards, make shelf’s in a cupboard and fit our kitchen. Sean is amazing, professional, a perfectionist,realible and always thinks outside the box for new ideas you haven’t thought of.

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

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!

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.
