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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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 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!

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.

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!

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.

It's no exaggeration to say that the work Ben and his team have done for us is absolutely incredible and truly skilled workmanship. Ben created two very large units for us, one for our home office and one in the loft bedroom. They are beautiful, extremely high quality and are beyond what we'd even expected. Ben is a pleasure to work with, very calm and patient. Works very neatly and cleanly so there's no disruption. We couldn't recommend Ben highly enough and are very pleased we decided to go with him based on reviews and our impression of his work. Best decision we made.

Very impressed with the service offered by Caledonian Joinery from start to finish (Breda, Martin & the team). Martin & the team have a real passion for their craft and their workmanship is second to none. They made us 3 timber framed sash windows which are superb (made and measured to order), very reasonably priced and were delivered and installed within the agreed timeframe. I would highly recommend Caledonian Joinery and feel very fortunate to have found them.

Rating: 5 / 5

We asked for a quote from Caledonian because of their fantastic Google reviews and from that point on we have had a wonderful experience. Martin, Breda, and the rest of the team were incredibly professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. We had two sash windows replaced, one large casement and one small bathroom window, and they have all come out looking amazing! Although there was a bit of a wait for the windows, they were clear about that from the off and we ended up getting them fitted slightly earlier that we initially thought. The cost is very reasonable and the service is fantastic. 10/10!!

Martin and Breda were fantastic - we returned our brick reveals to their original openings, leaving huge holes in the wall, which was boarded up with ply during winter. We were living in the renovation and Martin took pity on us, given we also had no rads in the house! He prioritised us as customers which I am eternally grateful for, and turned the windows around in record time. Our builders installed the windows poorly, and broke two of the pulleys on installation and trapping the nylon rope behind the wagtail. Caledonian joinery kindly supplied us new pulley wheels to match our brass ironmongery, which really makes the windows feel premium and robust. A few things to note is their windows are glazed from the outside, bottom sashes come with horns, and they use all white warm up bars (inside the glazing) which are really good quality, and stay true to the original sash design (I always found the metal warm up bars to look a bit cheap). These windows were supply only so I had to fit my own ogee architrave and window board, which really finishes off the windows internally. I wish their business all the best - and thanks to Martin for the speedy turnaround! Thanks, Adam

Caledonian builders have just fitted two brand new wooden windows for me. What a brilliant job they made of it. The windows are first class! No more draughts for me! The family running it are a delight to work with. From the moment I placed my order to the moment the job was completed everything was dealt with efficiently and with an excellent attitude. The installation was so fast and efficient and I can give nothing but praise. My sister uses this company and highly recommended them to me. We are so delighted we found them. Don’t hesitate if you are thinking about renewing windows, go to this place. You will be so happy with the result! Helen

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

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.

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.

We have been using Upper Street Handyman for many years. Their service is always e very reliable, and the handymen are punctual, professional and very skilled. Would highly recommend. They also genuinely care about the service they provide. Couldn’t be happier.

I was very pleased with the service from booking, communication and the work carried out. Hamid was professional, friendly and helpful. He did a fantastic job repairing a hole in a wall and making good. Sameed, the electrician, also did a good job fixing some of my ceiling lights. I would recommend Upper Street Contractors. They do care about providing a good service and their pricing is reasonable.

USH visited my flat earlier this month (January 2025) to repair two door frames and rehang the doors. Their work was excellent and the team were courteous. They fully cleaned up after the job and the cost of the work was very reasonable. I will certainly use them again in the future.
