Martin did a fantastic job creating and installing a bespoke plywood wardrobe for us. He was really great to work with throughout the entire process, was very tidy and considerate, and the finished job looks fantastic. Highly recommended!

Martin built a walk-in wardrobe for us - and WOW!! He put so much care and effort into the design and build. He kept us involved and informed every step of the way, making suggestions and recommendations that we hadn't even thought about and really guided us through the whole design process. And the build was impeccable - every detail, and every little thing was so well executed. Martin is a perfectionist, and that is exactly what you want for a bespoke build like this. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Martin for building the walk in wardrobe of my dreams!

Martin is simply the best - even our builder says so. We did our due diligence, interviewing and talking to over a dozen joiners and from the start, Martin was open, collaborative and a partner. He genuinely cares about what you as a client want, and applied his expertise to make it the best version of your vision. We had him design and build our living room and bedroom wardrobes. He is exacting in his precision, attention to detail and skill. Detail oriented feels like an understatement. The end results are incredible.

Martin did a great job transforming a room in into a library by building beautiful bookshelves. He designed and built bespoke bookshelves, exactly to our brief, which are in keeping with the Georgian features of our house, while feeling modern too. He spent time getting the design exactly right including discrete lights, shelf and cupboard dimensions to fit the right amount of books and our speakers plus a ladder. He also worked hard to ensure the colour perfectly matched our walls. We love our library, as does everyone who visits. I would not hesitate to recommend Martin who has extremely high standards and provides high quality workmanship.

We hired Nigel to replace our front door and he did an absolutely fantastic job. From the minute we spoke to completing the job - it was all handled professionally and executed seamlessly. He listened to exactly what we wanted and delivered it in a timely and cost effective manner. The final product was of an excellent high standard. We'd use him again in a heartbeat.

Nigel came to fit a new back door for us, it was measured and installed in less than 2 weeks. His communication was great throughout, and we’re very happy with the result - we’d highly recommend his services.

Rating: 5 / 5

Nigel undertook several projects for us recently - making and fitting a Victorian hardwood front door, replacing a staircase and fitting shelving in a built-in wardrobe. The finished results are excellent. Nigel is very diligent, doesn't cut corners and carries out his work to a very high standard. He is pleasant, courteous and reliable and clearly takes pride in doing a good job. His charges were also reasonable and fair. It was a pleasure having him around and we would highly recommend him.

Rating: 5 / 5

Really impressed by Nigel’s professionalism and handiwork. He created some lovely wardrobes and a bookcase for our new house, designed exactly for our needs and perfectly fitting the space - a difficult job as the house is old and has no straight lines! He communicated promptly and left the space clean! Thank you so much, we highly recommend him

Rafal's workmanship is to a high standard, I am happy with the under stairs storage he made and fitted. Communication was a bit tricky initially (and I was really adamant I wanted Rafal to do this job for us, after seeing his amazing portfolio!), once we passed that I can't fault him for the job done. I also have to say Rafal is a perfectionist and wasn't fully satisfied with how the door was installed, so he found a way to make it work better even if that meant a couple more hours of work. Reliable, tidy, polite and a great work done! Thanks, Rafal (and sorry the review came in so late!).

Rating: 5 / 5

Rafal came by recommendation and has now done several jobs for us fitting custom cupboards in living room and utility, remodelled some of our kitchen and fitted over 70m3 of wooden floor. He is superb, incredibly skilled, tidy, efficient and reliable. We will be getting him back to build fitted wardrobes later this year if he can fit us in. Can’t recommend him enough.

Rating: 5 / 5

In mid 2024 we asked several local carpenters to visit to provide quotes for various jobs we wanted to be undertaken including under stairs storage, additional fitted kitchen units and various fitted cupboards and drawers. When Rafal came we knew that he was the right choice before he even sent his quotation, he exhibited calm confidence and also a warm and friendly nature. And we were pleased when his quotes were very competitive. Rafal's work was to an excellent quality. He was clear in what was achievable and good at communicating when modifications to any design were needed to be made. Rafal was great at communicating before and after the work was done, both by WhatsApp and calls, and was amazingly flexible on dates when we needed to adjust due to materials not arriving in time. As a contractor myself, I was very impressed by Rafal's van setup which is super clean and tidy and shows that he takes pride in his work and presentation of himself and his profession. I can highly recommend working with Rafal and we look forward to having him back for additional work.

We are overjoyed with our new wardrobes and dressing table. Very happy with the entire process from working with us on the design, comprehension of the brief, cleanliness/tidiness, reliability and most importantly workmanship and the finished products! Would not hesitate to recommend and hope to use for many future projects.

Bobby did a great job in fitting my slat wall and was on time and extremely clean and tidy. He talked me through the process and made sure he asked if I was happy all the way. I would recommend Bobby to anyone and I will certainly use him again for any other carpentry projects I have.

Rating: 5 / 5

I had Bobby from London Carpentry solutions help me with a number of bespoke furniture items with the latest being a multifunction desk. Bobby was fantastic from helping me resolve a design detail but also help me rationalise the design to achieve my budget. Once the details were agreed Bobby stuck to the agreed installation date, arriving exactly on time and I never got the impression he was in a rush to be somewhere else. The quality of the work went above and beyond my hopes (hopefully my armature photographs do his work justice) and his care and consideration was second to none. For these reasons I have no hesitation providing a recommendation.

Rating: 5 / 5

Bobby did an amazing Job spray painting our existing kitchen doors fitting new carcasses and making new matching kitchen doors where necessary and more. It’s like having a brand new kitchen for a fraction of the cost. I don’t write many reviews but he deserves a good review. He is also one of the few people that I was comfortable to leave alone in my house.

We are immensely grateful to Bobby, our carpenter, who created a stunning wooden frame for our display fridge at our cake shop. From start to finish, Bobby has been patient, knowledgeable, and understanding, always willing to go the extra mile. Among the many contractors we’ve worked with during our shop fitting, Bobby truly stood out with his professionalism, passion, and personality. Despite our modest budget, Bobby never hesitated to answer our endless emails, make multiple site visits to ensure accuracy, and work with us every step of the way before any deposit was even paid. He even drove two hours to our fridge manufacturer to take precise measurements, invited us to his studio to view wood stains and beadings, and produced a final result that exceeded all expectations. On the day of installation, Bobby arrived fully prepared, working diligently through the day to craft the frame exactly as envisioned. He even cleaned up afterwards with a heavy commercial vacuum cleaner that he brought. For anyone looking for an honest, detail-oriented and skilled carpenter, please trust all these reviews you are reading. Bobby is a true craftsman, and his work is second to none. He is a real carpenter but not a marketing expert with photo editing skills. So photos are not going to do him justice until you see his works with your eyes! Thank you Bobby again for bringing our vision to life and delivering our cake shop dream. Thank you!

John McMullen's work is truly outstanding. He is a complete perfectionist, and the work is done to the highest possible standard, on time, on budget, tidily and always with a smile. We have had the following things made: wardrobes (for 5 bedrooms) made, bookcases, a TV cabinet, window seats and radiator covers. We have never had a problem and some years later, the items still look like new. We cannot recommend John highly enough.

Rating: 5 / 5

John has previously made some alcove shelves for us so I knew he’d do a great job of fitted wardrobes. They were made up and colour matched off-site so the fitting took less than a day and mess free. Really happy with these beautiful period style wardrobes which have a handy pull down rail. John also did rounded corners on request which we love.

Rating: 5 / 5

I had been looking for a while to get some alcove cupboards and shelves made and after speaking to a few companies I decided to hire John for the work. The final product is of exceptional quality and John was able to install it all within one day. It has transformed our living room! John was great in giving advice on shelves and depth of cupboards and his communication throughout the process was excellent. I would highly recommend John. I’m hoping to get more of his work done in the future.

Rating: 5 / 5

Absolutely delighted with our new cupboards. John is a real pro and a lovely guy. Couldn't recommend him enough.

This is the second time we’ve used Doug’s services and had another great experience. Doug is very easy to work with, he takes time to understand your requirements and works to a very high standard, leaving the space clean and tidy each day. Nothing is too much trouble, even when I changed my mind on the colour, Doug was happy to re-paint the wardrobes to make sure we were 100% happy with the finish! I would definitely use his services again and have already recommended him to friends.

Rating: 5 / 5

Doug was very accommodating and knowledgeable and worked with our changes and requests professionally. We had a media unit and lounge cupboards/ shelving made and installed. We are extremely happy with the finish, all at a reasonable price too. I would not hesitate to recommend Doug and will certainly be using his services again when we need wardrobes making.

Rating: 5 / 5

Doug built two bespoke cupboards for us, for our bedroom. I cannot speak highly enough of his work - the cupboards are perfect, beautifully finished, and done on time, on budget and with absolute clarity throughout on what we were getting. He was a pleasure to work with, and really helpful in helping us decide what we wanted. Really highly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

We worked with Doug on some alcove wardrobes and alcove cupboards with floating shelves. Couldn’t be happier with the end result, but just as importantly Doug was great to work with both during the design and build. Couldn’t recommend Doug more highly.

Karl and his colleague JC made some fitted wardrobes, window seats and shelving for our bedroom and we are really pleased with them – great quality and very nicely put together. We have had a lot of admiring comments from friends. Karl and JC were very easy to work with, and took great care with fitting them (there was a difficult warped ceiling to fit them around), they obviously take real pride in their work. Would highly recommend!

Rating: 5 / 5

Karl and JC have done a number of substantial projects in my house. I first hired them to built alcove bookcases and cupboards in the sitting room, and alcove wardrobes and shelving in two bedrooms. They did a fantastic job, paying close attention to detail and taking great care to help me get the best design possible. They came back the following year to build storage in our converted loft bedroom and shower, which was a difficult space to work in. Their craftsmanship is outstanding, and they are extremely considerate and nice to have around. I would highly recommend them.

Rating: 5 / 5

Karl was one of three cabinet makers that we approached with a general project outline for an eaves storage unit in our bedroom. We found his estimate to be in line with the others; what tipped the balance was his project back catalogue, and his immediate willingness to come and visit us at home to discuss our ideas. We are very happy indeed with that decision: throughout the process, Karl and his partner JC were willing to listen carefully to our ideas, and go though numerous iterations of the preparatory CAD drawings to create a unit that was practical and distinctive, and which served our particular needs. We were expecting a baby in the same period, and Karl and JC were very sympathetic to our time concerns, and made sure that the installation process was smooth, quick and clean, and built around our tight schedule. As an amateur cabinet maker myself, I checked the quality of the craftsmanship very closely: the joints, scribing of the outer frame to the wall, hanging of the drawers in the carcass, and attachment of the oak veneer (to limit the appearance of a join) were all done very crisply. In general, we have no qualms in recommending Karl and JC as high-end practitioners in birch ply furniture, and very personable craftsmen with whom to work.

Rating: 5 / 5

Karl was great - he was communicative, delivered on time and the work is beautiful quality. The bookcase he made for us fits the space perfectly and has been much admired.

Fab job dismantling wardrobes, moving them upstairs and fitting back together with a little repair due me having an accident!! Very tidy, polite and on time. Thanks for your service.

We needed our drawers re-done in our wardrobes. It was a very bespoke project as we didn't need something built from scratch, but within an already built structure. It was wonderful working with Solid Carpentry, and the final product was beautiful! Dmitriy was attentive to all the special adjustments we wanted for our drawers and patient if we changed our minds on some details. Solid Carpentry used high-quality materials and did a great paint job. We love our drawers!!

Rating: 5 / 5

It was great working with Dmitry and his team. Their attention to detail was second to none and we are delighted with the 'secret bookcase' he installed. I would highly recommend Solid Carpentry.

Rating: 5 / 5

Dmitriy and his team are first class. I would highly recommend using Solid Carpentry for any of your requirements. He helped us design the perfect living room and storage in our small porch area. Everything was built to measure in his workshop and brought to our home and fitted in a very efficient manor. We love the final result and his attention to detail is impeccable.

Rating: 5 / 5

Solid Carpentry designed and installed a custom, built-in bookcase with a hidden door for me. Dmitriy was responsive, open & clear about what to expect (including considerations we had not thought of), took a lot of care and demonstrated real pride in his work - which made the whole process very enjoyable. The results are spectacular and we couldn't be happier.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Ben to build a custom unit for our dining room, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The craftsmanship is nothing short of incredible. Every detail reflects a level of skill and dedication that is hard to find. The unit not only enhances the aesthetics of our dining room but also provides practical storage solutions that seamlessly blend with our existing decor. Ben was attentive to our needs, offering insightful suggestions that truly brought our vision to life. His professionalism and commitment to quality were evident throughout the entire process. He worked efficiently, respected our home, and completed the project on time. We highly recommend Ben to anyone in need of high-quality carpentry work. Our beautiful new unit has transformed our dining space, and we couldn't be happier! Thank you for your outstanding work!

Ben is a passionate craftsman and it shows in the quality of the fine work he produces. He helped design and build a beautiful and functional bespoke wardrobe for my bedroom. He was polite, professional and cared about providing an excellent service. And that’s exactly what he did! I highly recommend Ben and his team.

I recently hired Thomas Carpentry & Joinery to make and install two alcove wardrobes in our bedroom and I couldn't be happier with the results. Our wardrobes are handmade and built to fit our space and needs perfectly. The quality of the finish is outstanding and has far exceeded my expectations - it was worth every penny! The whole process was brilliant - Ben was incredibly helpful in supporting us to get what we wanted, and he communicated with us throughout. The installation was quick, efficient and stress-free, and we weren't left with any mess whatsoever. I can't recommend Ben highly enough, and he'll be the first person we contact for any carpentry needs we have in future.

Rating: 5 / 5

Ben and team recently designed and installed a new, bespoke kitchen for us. They did a fantastic job - the kitchen is beautiful, extremely high quality, and certainly value for money. Ben's attention to detail is exceptional, and his open style of communication made the project and having him around a pleasure. He was only too happy to accommodate our particular requirements, and went over and above to deal with certain quirks and unexpected issues once the installation had started. I can't recommend Thomas Carpentry & Joinery enough!
