The Best Carpenters in Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

Jonny turned an unusable roof terrace into an absolutely beautiful outdoor entertaining area. His skills were second to none and a pleasure to work with. He wasn’t satisfied with the job until I was and never said no to anything! 5 stars was an understatement. We’ll be working together again for sure. If it’s carpentry/ outdoor kitchens you’re after, you’ll be silly not to give him a call.

Highly recommend Jonny. His work is brilliant, he is reasonably priced, punctual and polite. He recently built a cabinet and shelves for me from scratch and the results are fantastic. We spoke briefly about what I wanted to achieve, and he immediately came up with recommended solutions and then smashed through the work. Anytime I need carpentry services in future, I will 100% be phoning Jonny, which is probably the best thing I can say!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Great service and would always recommend

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.

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.

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.

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 came to fix two doors which were not closing properly and a large headboard which had come off the wall. This was not a major job for him but he was efficient and did an excellent job. He left the rooms spotlessly clean and was a really nice person to deal with.

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 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.

Jonas put flooring down throughout our house. We are delighted with the end result. He communicated clearly with us throughout the installation on all aspects of the work and was completed to an excellent standard. He was prompt and finished the work on time. We wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Jonas was an excepional find! He is a truly talented individual who has a passion for delivering absolute quality work. He has a fabulous "can do" work ethic and is genuinely pleased to see clients happy with his work. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him wholeheartedly. Alex

A Sincere thank you to Jonas.

Brilliant service from start to finish, if you are looking for an affordable carpenter this company gives superb service and quality then look no further, Jonas is your man , thanks again for all your hard work

Great initial contact with Shaun. I required doors removing and shaving due to new carpets. Price and response was exactly what I needed. The carpenter who arrived was respectful, careful, meticulous, friendly and excellent at his job. I thoroughly recommend Shaun Williams carpentry.

Very pleased with the work ! very helpful and very honest

Shaun is not only a brilliant carpenter but a great guy too !

Shaun fitted 2 replacement staircases for us & was a truly remarkable service ,we just wish we met him 20years earlier , his calm & very skillful execution of the difficult job was the best example of professional workmanship I've seen in my 30year career 11/10

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.

Really helpful when I needed to repair a bed. Made the pieces I wanted quickly and for a fraction of the cost of replacing.

Broadoak Joinery recently made me a new timber front door to match as near as possible to my old 1930s front door. The whole experience from start to finish was a good one. The door they made was excellent and they also did a really good job of fitting it. I've used other joinery's in the past and I honestly don't think you could find a better one than this one. I highly recommended them.
