The Best Carpenters in Hackney, Greater London, United Kingdom (2025)

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.

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!

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.

ELB’s in-demand carpentry service is certainly worth the wait. We couldn’t be happier with the work they have done installing new floating shelves and a built-in laundry unit. Through each stage of the process, Peter was excellent and extremely helpful, he visited our site and perfectly understood what we were aiming for, he provided a digital design sketch for the project and made multiple revisions and suggestions until we were happy with the final design. The fit and finish was perfect, he even spray painted the cabinets in the colours we had chosen and was able to fit everything in just one day. We’re so happy with the results and will definitely be using their services again in the future.

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.

Andy was fantastic. He did a great job making our very worn out front of house like new again. He was also really helpful doing some smaller jobs, fixing a floor board, grouting our back patio etc. We will definitely use him again as other jobs come up. I chose Andy because of the reviews and they’re right. He was responsive, professional, good at communication and an all round nice person. He clearly takes pride in his work and cares that you are happy at the end of the day and would go the extra mile (including literally picking up a specific paint I chose for us) to make sure you are. Also reasonably priced so couldn’t ask for anything more! Will try and update final photos later as sadly we currently have scaffolding hiding how good it looks!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Bobby fit 2 doors to improve sound insulation in my music studio. From initial survey to completing the job it was so easy and I’d been struggling to find a good person. The workmanship is top notch and everything was done on time. Would highly recommend.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

This was the 3rd project we did with Adrian and Co. This was a bespoke TV unit and wall shelves - and we couldn't be more satisfied with the final delivery. Adrian was always available to come around and bounce some ideas back and forth; and even creating real life mock ups - all to make sure we were getting what we were looking for. We will definitely continue working with the Borkwood team! July 2024 update: One more project with Adrian and the team. Again extremely happy with the results! Wardrobe, and a desk + drawers/bench, with shelves added. Super easy to work with: allow for discussion and exchange of ideas, mock ups, and reviews until the design is just right. Execution is flawless. Thank you guys again!

Chris built me some great fitted wardrobes. Very good workmanship and attention to detail. Pleasant to deal with and trustworthy. Will be using again in the not to distant future.

Rarely do I write reviews however the professionalism and enthusiasm of these guys far surpassed expectation. They made a superb job of my requests at a very reasonable price

The North London Carpentry were great! They worked on a custom kitchen and 4 build-in wardrobes for us. Results were beautiful and they also were very helpful at choosing the right colours for the furniture. Thank you

Chris recently build me some wardrobes for my bedroom and I couldn't be happier with them. Chris was great to work with - he made sure he fully understood all my requirements before starting work and was efficient and professional throughout. Would definitely use him again - highly recommended.

I contacted EAST JR as they were close to my house in Victoria Park Village (Hackney) and I needed 2 sets of wardrobes. They understood exactly what we wanted and then took care of the build and install exactly when they said they would. EAST JR are very responsive, care deeply about detail, creative and good value. Lovely team, fantastic quality and have been recommending them to friends ever since.

Had a great meeting with Edwin at the flat, to review bespoke wardrobe designs for the bedroom. He scanned the whole room, and looking forward to the 3D design.

Edwin, Roland and the team at East JR were great to work with. We had a weird concept that they successfully brought to life. The collaboration was effective, the communication was good, we were very happy with the price and absolutely love the finished wardrobe. Would thoroughly recommend!

After initially asking EJ Ryder to build us a TV cabinet, they have since been back to create a bespoke dining table, fitted loft wardrobes, built in shelving for our kitchen, clever storage based stairs for our basement, a recycled yoghurt pot vanity unit for the bathroom, new doors for our living space and a set of birch ply shelves for our new baby. I keep coming back as it's fun to co-create furniture with Edwin & the team, there are no nasty surprises and I know I will get something that I really love. I wouldn't use anybody else!

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!

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!)

We got Ben Hooper to do a fairly big job for us in early 2024, and I rate him very, very highly! At the initial design stages, when we talked through the scope of the work we wanted, Ben was able to provide us with a very accurate quote and clear, informative drawings showing us exactly how the job would come together. Once we had commissioned him and booked the dates in it was clear that Ben is a very capable carpenter and joiner, and skilled in general building too! He is quick, efficient, very personable and, very careful and tidy – always spent the time to hoover and clear-up at the end of the day!

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 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

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

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.
