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.

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.

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.

John worked on the eaves unit for our loft conversion area. We are very pleased with his work; it looks even better than we had imagined. He was efficient and immensely professional, always following up with any questions we had and working to schedule. His commitment to the work and his skills produced a high-quality final job that now we are very pleased to have in our loft room. The area was left neat and clean and we would definitely use him again!

The frame for my patio door needed some mending, replacement of timber, and revarnishing. An excellent service - Julius visited promptly and provided a clear quote. He and his worker came on the date agreed and carried out the work to a high standard. They worked hard and cleared up after themselves. I've used this firm before and have always been happy with the result.

If it was possible to give 10* to JJ Carpentry and Maintenance Ltd I would. I had quite a complex issues with some very large doors to my property and had experienced very poor and expensive repairs previously. The work JJ did was outstanding and I couldn't be happier or more grateful.

Rating: 5 / 5

Julius and his team were fantastic from start to finish being super friendly and professional. I am overjoyed with my new media cabinets that have transformed my living room especially the addition of the LED lights recommended by Julius. You can clearly tell they work with passion with their handcraft-ship and huge eye to detail. Thank you guys so much for your work, will definitely be hearing from me again for any future projects.

Paolo and his team (Dennis for the carpenter work) did an amaaaazing job at building a bespoke mezzanine in a relatively small bedroom with high ceilings. Paolo designed exactly what I wanted and Dennis did a fantastic job. Super nice, extremely clean, efficient, to the perfection. The structure is rock solid. It is impressive. I will ask them to do many more storage spaces in my flat in a few months. I warmly recommend them. They are just perfect.

Great service, very efficient. They made me a wardrobe with shelves in the eaves of a small bedroom, making great use of the space. The two guys who came and worked on it were very professional, as is the whole company. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent work, done on time and on budget. The bookcase has transformed the room. Paolo and his team helped advise on the design and the materials, and were extremely efficient when it came to installation. I could not recommend them highly enough

The whole Bespoke Carpentry London team did a phenomenal job designing and building customized storage solution for our office! Marianna was very knowledgeable in design and helpful in multiple 3D renditions. David’s carpentry was top-notch, perfectly fitting into our awkward wall slant / space. A massive thank you to the whole team!

We hired Doug to design and build some wardrobes. From the first meeting we got a good feeling and his attention to detail shone through. His quote was competitive (not the cheapest, nor the most expensive) but we just felt from the questions he was asking that he understood what we wanted to achieve. He worked in a clean and tidy way and was consultative throughout. Importantly, we felt we could trust him in our home. We absolutely love the end result. It's added lots of much-needed storage space and is finished to a very high standard. We have no hesitation recommending Hathaway and plan to use him for TV alcove cupboards in the future.

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.

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

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.

From the first moment we communicated Simon was professional and put me at ease. He did excellent work installing bespoke shelves, cupboards, fitted wardrobes and more. The quality of his work was outstanding, but the best part was how much he respected our space. He left our home extremely clean every day. The fact that he a super nice person and so clear in all his communication just made the experience so pleasant! I honestly cannot recommend his services enough.

We are very happy with the alcove cabinets Bart has made for our living room. He made sensible recommendations to slightly alter our plans so our shelves work much better than what I originally asked him about. We are going to contact him soon about more bespoke storage for our house. Good communication, friendly manner and competitive prices.

Rating: 5 / 5

Bart has built our house both fitted wardrobes and alcove units. On the whole, very happy with the quality and pricing. Highly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

We had fitted wardrobes in our master bedroom - 8 double doors. We couldn't be happier with them - they are fantastic. Bart is a great guy, quick to reply and very polite and personable. Would 100% use again - in fact I'm trying to make up jobs we can have him back!

Rating: 5 / 5

Bart has just completed a number of built in bespoke wardrobes in our new loft conversion; a hallway linen cupboard, and a large shelving unit. I am so happy with the finished product. It is exactly what we wanted. Bart clearly understood the ask, including the more bespoke aspects of the shelving unit and delivered 100%. He made suggestions to make sure we made the best use of the space. Price was competitive with other quotes we received but we were very impressed by the portfolio of work presented on his website and we were not disappointed. Bart left the job tidy each day. He consulted me at key points and otherwise worked quickly to deliver a very high quality product that adds so much usable storage to our home, while looking absolutely fantastic. I would recommend without hesitation. Bart - thank you so much!

Pete did some alcove shelving for us recently. The brief was to increase book space and hide our TV wires through the chimney breast as well as build a cupboard to put wires and Internet router in etc. he executed the brief flawlessly and was very pleasant to deal with. Would not hesitate to recommend and will certain look to engage Pete again when we finally get round to our long-planned renovations.

Rating: 5 / 5

Pete built 4 wardrobes, a TV cabinet and a bookcase, installed picture and dado rails, and even put some shelves up. Really pleased with the end result - great quality and finish. Pete was helpful throughout and worked with us and incorporated all our requests. All done very quickly and great communication throughout. Would highly recommend Pete.

Rating: 5 / 5

Pete has done a brilliant job for us. He installed floating alcove shelves in our lounge which look brilliant, and he put in floor to ceiling wardrobes in the bedroom which look amazing despite the dubious colour choice made by my partner. Pete is very conscientious, turns up on time, tidies up, is no fuss whatsoever and works hard all day to make everything look perfect. Would definitely recommend and will use again.

Rating: 5 / 5

We absolutely love our shelves and cupboard in our living room alcoves. Pete was so speedy, but his work is detailed and beautiful. Pete was friendly and tidy so we were not at all worried about him being in the flat. We will definitely be using Pete again. Many thanks!

Brett designed and built cupboards and bookshelves for my house. Every aspect of the work was carried out with fastidious care, skill and taste. I was extremely happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone wanting similar or more ambitious carpentry.

Form Carpentry helped us design our kitchen. The work was carried out beautifully and with great attention to details. It was a pleasure working with Form Carpentry and we will definitely be using them again.

Rating: 5 / 5

The project I had in mind being a sculpture, it was important to be able to discuss and evolve as the project was developing. Brett has been, throughout, conscientious, clear, very involved and open to make the project see the light. He put a lot of thought into it, always realistic on time, schedule and fair on price. He has also assembled several large sculptures in a gallery for me with much care. I will work with Brett again, and recommend him with trust. Deena

So happy with the recent project Form did in our property that I had to share. Angela and Brett were both very professional and knowledgeable about their respective fields of interior design and cabinet-making. Angela designed our bespoke new kitchen down to the minutest of details and Brett made it a reality with his craftsmanship. They both listened to what we wanted and came up with some great ideas and solutions and created something that was even better then we imagined. Would definitely work with Form again and recommend them to anyone who wants something beautiful and bespoke in their home.

We needed an extensive list of carpentry jobs done as part of our renovation, including a flat roof, stud wall, kitchen installation, skirting, shelving, flooring and the list goes on. We were absolutely delighted with how it went. Mark is meticulous and delivers work of the highest standard. He’s also an excellent problem solver - and with any big project that’s crucial. He keeps you informed of all aspects of the work, including costs and is a pleasure to have around. We’ll certainly be using him again.

Talal did a brilliant job. We couldn’t be more pleased with his work. Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 / 5

Talal was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend him. The work he did in my flat is wonderful. He is hardworking and reliable and goes the extra mile. If I had any more walks for cupboards I would use him again.

I had a very good honest experience with this company. We had a cupboard built, which was built with all the required specifications. I am very happy with the service, quality and great value. I definitely recommend 👌

We worked with Simran on some custom alcove units and we couldn't have been happier with the job. From the briefing meeting to the installation we received a prompt service with excellent results. I couldn't reccommend S.S. Carpentry more.

Rating: 5 / 5

Very professional and great craftsmanship. Couldn't be more helpful in suggesting design and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

We are genuinely so thrilled with the wardrobes Simran and his team have created for us. I can’t believe what an amazing job they have done - true masters of the craft! Everything about SS Carpentry feels of such a high standard, from the initial consultation, through to all the design and fitting. The team were flexible, responsive, gave creative direction where we asked for it and facilitated our ideas in the best way possible. They too a difficult space in the corner of our room and maximised the storage for us. They were extremely considerate whilst inside the house, very tidy and cleaned up after the work wonderfully. It's pretty rare now-a-days to come across a small business which beyond exceeds your expectations but these guys are it!! I would 100% recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

A truly wonderful service from SS Carpentry. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail was top-notch. Simran and his team provided me with a media wall with LED lighting, and to say I am pleased with the final product would be an understatement. Their professionalism from day one was apparent. Friendly, considerate, punctual, and extremely tidy, I would highly recommend their services and would not hesitate to use them again. A rare gem of a company!
