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

We have just had an alcove unit and 5 floating shelves designed, built and installed by Ryan and he has done an outstanding job. The finish is perfect and Ryan has brilliant attention to detail. A pleasure to work with and they are coming back in the New Year to do wardrobes for us!

Ryan (and Sean) fitted two pieces of beautiful bespoke carpentry: a bookcase and multi-purpose storage cabinet (see photos - lights yet to be fitted). The finish of the pieces is stunning and Ryan was on hand to ensure everything regarding the fit went as smooth as possible. It's clearly Ryan takes pride in his work and this shines through in both the quality of the product as well as the professionalism and service he provides. Highly recommend and would use again - thanks!

I couldn’t recommend The London Craftsman more. Ryan and his team live up to their name... they are true craftsmen! The alcove units exceeded all expectations, and I can honestly say they are the highlight of my house refurb. He made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. The quality, build and finish of the work is exceptional. If I could give six stars I would!

Incredibly pleased with the end result on our wardrobes. Ryan was incredibly helpful from start to finish with really insightful advice that helped us get the most out of the space we had. Install was really quick and the team left it all clean and tidy after, can't ask for more really. Would recommend to anyone in an instant.

I was really pleased with Oleg and South London Carpentry & Joinery. He responded quickly to my messages to quickly provide me with a quote, he came back quickly and with multiple options. He then did a very through job from making the template to finishing the shelves. He was nice to have around the flat and came when it worked for me to work remotely. I have recommended him to my neighbours.

Very happy to have found master carpenter Olly to restore my Victorian sash windows. They're looking absolutely fantastic now. Since first meeting him to repair the sashes, I've had him back to relay my kitchen floorboards and refit my bathroom. Quality work every time. Thank you Olly!

Oleg is an excellent carpenter. I am very happy with door fittings and panelling. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Needed a couple of small bits of work which required craft and machinery. The work was done really well, quickly and for a fair price.

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.

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!

Very impressed from start to finish with Bespoke Carpentry. Really easy to communicate with to discuss design ideas. David (the carpenter) was excellent, a lovely man who is a very talented carpenter. He worked incredibly hard and fast to get our bookcase cabinet fitted in just two days. Really pleased with everything. David also gave me lots of tips for finishing touches and aftercare.

Can not recommend Alzate Carpentry enough. After meeting Sharps and other local carpenters, Raul visited us and mocked up a design to replace fitted wardrobes in our flat. The design was perfect and more economical than the competition. Everything is custom made, using high quality materials and he colour matched the wardrobe with our room. Installation was quick and easy. Communication was excellent throughout. Give these guys a call - you won’t be disappointed!

Alzate built me a cupboard in my bathroom. They were excellent in the design process as they came for multiple planning visits, provided a great CAD design and were helpful in giving updates to the design on request. The issue was that when it came to installation, the finish did not quite match the design in that the edges weren’t flush with the wall. Whilst this wasn’t possible as the wall wasn’t straight, it wasn’t communicated to me and so I asked for it to be fixed. This lead to delays and additional expenses. Overall I am very happy with the final product, thought the service of the design process was excellent, but the service at installation was lacking due to the poor communication and it has left a sour aftertaste

Raul, Carmen and team at Alzate helped me design a sliding door solution and followed the project closely through to completion. The end result exceeded my expectations, and I really appreciated being kept informed throughout. An excellent job delivered to time and budget!

We found Alzate to provide an excellent service. It’s always hard to find good builders or carpenters but Alzate were outstanding. The quote was reasonable and the payment process was straight forward. Raul and his team were very friendly and professional and completed the job to a very high standard. We were especially impressed with Rodrigo’s work. His attention to detail and lovely personality shone through. They arrived when they said they would and completed the project on time and within budget. They were very clean and tidy! We would definitely recommend Alzate to anyone and will be using them again in the near future.

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

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

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.

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.

Dean has done a couple of jobs in our flat – re-flooring and installing an extraction duct in the kitchen. He's done a brilliant job both times, he's a great problem solver and takes real pride in his work. Reasonably priced, too. Would definitely recommend!

I've used Crown twice in the last month ( internal and external painting and some minor interior repairs ). Dean is a very hard worker who gets things done the way you want them and provides great value for money. My go to guy for all my home repairs.

Awesome service. I had a ceiling stain and Dean was quick to respond, came again when I wasn’t quite happy (nothing to do with his service). I am so glad I have found someone trustworthy in my area to help with property repairs. Recommend to anyone!

Dean has carried out work on my 2 buy to let properties recently. His work has been of a high standard. He posted to me videos to update the work as I’m managing the properties off the mainland. Dean collected the keys of the properties, one empty and one with tenants In residence ,from the real estate management. I consider Dean to be a trustworthy affable person and look forward to having him modernising the properties over the coming years 👌

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 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.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the work JP Refurbishment London did on our townhouse in early 2024. The project included a full basement conversion to create a home cinema and gym, a complete kitchen overhaul with a new island and bespoke cabinetry, and the addition of a stylish rear extension with bi-fold doors. JP’s team handled every aspect with precision, delivering a result that perfectly blends modern functionality with the character of our home. From start to finish, JP Refurbishment London Ltd was a joy to work with. Their project management was flawless, and communication was always clear and prompt. The builders were not only skilled but also polite, tidy, and respectful. They coordinated seamlessly with subcontractors, such as the glazing team and electricians, who were equally professional. Despite the challenges of working on a period property, JP completed the project in just seven months, even with the delays caused by material shortages. The quality of their work is outstanding, and we’re thrilled to recommend JP Refurbishment London Ltd to anyone looking for a top-tier renovation team.

We are absolutely delighted with the transformation of our home by JP Refurbishment London during the spring of 2023. The project focused on modernizing our living space, which included converting the loft into a spacious master suite, redesigning the ground floor to create an open-plan kitchen-dining area, and adding a sleek glass extension to the rear. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed, resulting in a home that feels both contemporary and welcoming. JP Refurbishment London Ltd made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their team was incredibly professional, and their project management was second to none. Communication was always clear, and the builders were not only highly skilled but also friendly and respectful. They worked seamlessly with subcontractors, such as the glazing specialists, electricians, and plumbers, who were all equally efficient and easy to work with. Despite the complexities of working on an older property, JP completed the project within six months, even with the challenges of sourcing materials during the post-pandemic period. The quality of the work is exceptional. From the precision of the carpentry to the flawless tiling and painting, every aspect reflects the expertise of JP’s team. They provided a detailed budget breakdown at the start, including contingencies, which gave us complete peace of mind. The final result is a home that perfectly suits our lifestyle, and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend JP Refurbishment London Ltd to anyone looking for a reliable and talented team for their renovation project.

We are so pleased that we used JP Refurbishment London to do the renovation of our Victorian terraced house in the second half of 2024. The project involved doing our side return to make our kitchen bigger, extending to make a 'snug' at the back of the house, cleverly reconfiguring the middle room to make a utility and downstairs WC, moving a wall, refitting the upstairs bathroom, and redecorating throughout. JP Refurbishment London Ltd were professional and a pleasure to work with throughout. The project management was excellent, and communication was superb. The builders were just lovely people. They worked incredibly hard, were very clear about any decisions required and were so tidy and polite. It was a pleasure to have them around. The other people who they coordinated (Integral Windows, the plumbers and electricians etc), were also all very professional and genuinely nice people. The finish is just lovely. The quality of the design and the skill of the JP Team (tilers, painters, carpenters, bricklayers, etc) really shows in the final result. JP provided a full breakdown with a total budget that they had given us at the beginning (including contingencies). Doing this kind of project (especially on a house with no side access!!) is definitely stressful and we really appreciated the speed at which they were able to deliver it, going above and beyond to manage the timings during the pandemic when materials were often difficult to procure. We know other people whose similar projects have taken almost a year, so to do so much in only 5 months, and to such a high standard, we feel was well worth the cost. We are very confident to recommend JP Refurbishment London LTD.

Incredibly professional, highly skilled & experienced with the best project management & communication we have ever come across. Our project is a complex 8 month structural & gut renovation (4-Bedroom refurbishment including an extension. Jon/Jorge & his team are exceptional everything is being completed 100% on time & with maximum attention to detail. We did a full audit of their company reviews before we contacted them, spoke with previous clients etc and found everyone gave them 10/10 on all counts. If ever anyone needs to discuss with us our experience contact Jon for our details. When our experience is this good we really want to tell everyone. They 100% take the fear out of using a building contractor and restored our faith in using such firms. Our neighbours both sides have even commented how noise & skips were managed so politely & professionally one has even employed them on a roof terrace project already. Well done to them, its a breath of fresh air to find these guys in London. We are now at the finish line and what can we say, it's been the smoothest construction project I have ever been involved with. All the way from start to finish, JP is a family business with more than 15 years of experience. JP Refurbishment London delivered outstanding result, transforming our home beyond our expectations. Highly recommended for any large-scale renovation projects.

Fab experience with Fab Cut! We’ve worked with many CNC providers, but none come close to the quality and precision that Fab Cut delivers. They handled a complex interior design project for us and made it all come together perfectly.

Lovely independent business. Fabcut gave us great advice and guidance at all stages of production. The whole experience was stress free and the quality of the final pieces was exceptional and exactly to brief. Highly recommend their services and will be using them on our next project.

What a great service! Fab Cut are quick, professional and friendly and did a wonderful job with our wood CNC fabrications. Best service we've found in London, and very reasonably priced!

I am working regularly with the guys of Fab Design and have never been disappointed. Their works are always immaculate and every time leave me pleasantly surprised. The team have strong no nonsense attitude and are always proactive and very energetic. If you require intricate prop milling or other CNC services in no time, do not hesitate to give them a go. Well done boys!
