Rating: 5 / 5

We have a difficult to make use of small boiler room in our flat. In need of more storage space we got in touch with Solid Carpentry. They did such an excellent job from start to finish. We can now finally store all of our luggage and random things and the room actually feels bigger now. Well done on getting the shelves fitted in such small awkward spaces. And thank you for your excellent consultation, always fast and helpful communication and superb work you did in the room. Can highly recommend Dimitriy and team to anyone who needs a custom job done.

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.

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

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Rating: 5 / 5

So happy with my new wardrobes and fridge surround. Nigel is a really talented guy who made me exactly what I wanted. Fantastic quality. Nigel listened to what I wanted and is accurate, efficient and produces really lovely products. A nice guy as well! I will definitely use him again in the future and totally recommend him.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Ben was fantastic to work with. We found his flyer and sent him an email when we were considering having some built in storage in our flat. Ben did a great job of talking us through the options, finding a material that fit our budget, helping us visualise the build and getting the job done ahead of time with clear communication throughout. Would definitely work with him again!

Rating: 5 / 5

Ben made and installed some storage benches for our kitchen. Ben was very communicative from first asking for a quote, seeing the space and was very prompt at providing a quote. He also provided a 3D drawing of the benches so you could easily see what he was working to. He was also able to get a colour match to a very specific green we wanted to. Ben does much of the fabrication offsite so there is minimal disruption and he installed the benches in less than 90 mins. It was less than a month from instructing to installation. The benches are made with really high quality materials and very well made. Would definitely recommend Ben for those looking for bespoke furniture. Update May 2024 We had Ben come back to renovate our understairs cupboard as what we had was quite dated and a very poor use of space. Ben gave a very thoughtful design and gave some really clever ideas as to how to maximise the space. It’s not a straightforward area so hard to do. Once the design was finished, most of it was fabricated offsite so Ben’s installation (which again not straightforward) was pretty quick only taking around 2 days. That meant limited disruption to us. The finished product is really well made and with high quality materials. Not only does the space look much better but also has given us lots of extra storage. Would definitely recommend Ben (again!)

It was a pleasure to work with Ben,who is very patient and he listened to how I would use the wardrobe and we worked together on the design. He was very patient and he created a bespoke, high quality fitted wardrobe for me. I was worried that this new wardrobe, would dominate the room, but because of Ben's design and build quality this didn't happen. He has created more space both inside as a wardrobe than I had before and outside, because of how the design of the doors look when closed, even though this wardrobe is much larger than the one Ben replaced. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone who wants bespoke, high quality furniture.

We had entire reception refurbished, Ben was tasked with building a new desk. It was great experience watching craftsman building you a custom desk!

Bespoke Fitted Wardrobes - Peter's service is very bespoke - attention to detail and problem solving - is something Peter really enjoys and was challenged by this space being uneven and shallow! I am thrilled with the results and highly recommend him. I had received quotes from the larger companies - Peter's prices are similar but the product is bespoke - I have exactly what I wanted.

Rating: 5 / 5

Peter is a true master in his trade, he is also a great problem solver, and his customer service is second to none. A true professional, outstanding workmanship and nothing is ever to much for him. I would Highly recommend to everyone.

Rating: 5 / 5

Peter done a beautiful job creating the floating shelves for the alcove in my living. I definitely recommended if you need any carpentry work done. Very professional, Good quality and definitely knows what he is doing.

Rating: 5 / 5

Peter was brilliant. He fitted a mirrored bathroom cupboard for us in a tight space and it looks great. He was easy to contact and listened to what we were looking for throughout the process. On the fitting day he and his assistant were polite, quick and tidied everything up once they were done. Would highly recommend!

Alex came round to help fix our broken shower. He was quick to identify the issue and explained his suggested next steps clearly. He was just a pleasure the whole time and I would call him first in the case of any future plumbing issues.

Rating: 5 / 5

Alex responds extremely quickly. He clearly explains what the issues are and always carries out our plumbing work efficiently and with a high level of skill. Love the fact that he does it all by travelling around on his bike

Rating: 5 / 5

Very professional and friendly. Will not overcharge you or suggest things that are not required. He fixed my shower taps in minutes.. He is Hackney based but will travel. Would definitely use Alex again. Top notch.

Alex did a great job setting up a shelf using recycled wood in my kitchen. It was done quickly & professionally. Thank you!

Rating: 5 / 5

I wanted a low wall faced on two sides with a length of oiled oak.The work undertaken by Adrian and his team was immaculate. The wood was carefully prepared and cut to provide a perfect fit. It was exactly what I wanted and the work was completed with the minimum of fuss. Even the clean up was spot on! Probably a smaller job than usually undertaken so I was very impressed by their professionalism and speed. Thank you!

Rating: 5 / 5

We had the pleasure of working with Adrian and his team on a bespoke wardrobe fitting. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. The communication throughout was great and the level of detail that went into the whole process was amazing. We are so happy with our new wardrobes, they have completely changed the space! Thank you!

Rating: 5 / 5

From start to finish we had a wonderful experience working with Pete, Adrian & the team. We collaborated on a design for the kitchen and we were offered excellent suggestions and solutions to what we wanted. They were very easy to work with always offered us clear and transparent advice on pricing and timeframes throughout. The team provided the highest level of attention to detail on each aspect of the project. We were blown away! We're looking forward to working with them again in the future.

Rating: 5 / 5

This is the second time we have worked with Adrian and team, and we couldn’t recommend them more. They created 2 sets of alcove wardrobes for us this time and they are absolutely perfect. Communication around planning was great, the wardrobes are beautifully made and were installed quickly on site - even with some space challenges due to building work (sorry!). We’re so delighted with the finished wardrobes and will definitely use Adrian again for future projects.

Andy and Nello were a God sent. I couldn't be happier with their plastering work and my experience with London Multi Trader as a whole. They were professional, helpful, and fast. The quality of their work is fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

Andy did a great job with our bath frame and panels. He was kind enough to fit us in on short notice after completing some other work. He was responsive, punctual, worked well and quickly and was a really nice person to work with! Andy also had the benefit of cutting items remotely so was able to keep our bathroom incredibly clean, and was tidy in general. I had a great experience with him and will definitely use him again for future work.

Rating: 5 / 5

Andy is absolutely amazing. I've had him do loads of stuff over the last few years, including building bookcases (he's a trained carpenter), staining my floors (which he made look 1000% times better), painting, and resealing windows. He's extremely reliable and honest, and this is confirmed by a former neighbor who first introduced me to him. He's also very tidy, so you don't even know he was there after the work's done. In short, I highly recommend him!

Rating: 5 / 5

Andy did a fabulous job restoring a recently purchased antique chest of drawers. He did a quick and free site visit to assess the piece of furniture and gave an honest evaluation of how it could be restored and what the costs would be. He was able to fit me into his busy schedule because I was anxious about getting the piece fixed. He was prompt and brought all the necessary tools. He walked me through the issues and fully restored the drawers in a timely manner. It wasn’t the most obvious solution, but Andy is knowledgeable, skilled and creative at solving issues. He left the area clean and was tidy during the process. Besides being a skilled carpenter, he is also kind, warm and professional. Would definitely recommend!

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

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

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

We are so happy with our build in bookcases and wardrobes. Doug did a fantastic job, they have elevated our rooms so much! He built most of them in his workshop, so was only at our house for 2 days, and was no disruption at all. Doug left the house dust free. I’ve had fitted furniture before and Doug’s is superior quality - highly recommend

Rating: 5 / 5

I couldn’t be happier with the wall unit that was made for me. It’s like it’s always been part of the house. I would recommend this company without hesitation.
