The Best Carpenters in Allum Green, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Updating my review following a second job completed by Pete and Andy - excellent job again, and can thoroughly recommend - the work that they do is of the highest quality, but they are also very good post-completion at coming back for any snagging - have always felt everything is well communicated and have stuck to quoted prices. No hesitation in recommending and would certainly use them again.

Andy and Pete, with Nick and Graham, carried out our loft conversion this year and we are so happy with their work. What we liked best was their time-keeping (they ran exactly to schedule) and costing (they ran exactly to quote, except for some extras that we requested). As important was their pleasantness in working with. They are very courteous, great communication, and any problems were listened to carefully and a sensible solution found. Our project was quite large (dormer L-shape loft conversion, complete reroof, chimney repoint, 2 new bathrooms and fitted cupboards and wardrobes). Their workmanship is of a very high standard and we strongly recommend them.

A few friends of ours recommended Bassett Carpentry for our kitchen extension. We couldn’t be happier with the work and would recommend them to anyone else. Our extension was not straight forward but Andy & Pete were so easy to deal with. They were honest and upfront with costs, and kept to the agreed price plans. Their team who completed the electrics and plumbing were also superb. We were very nervous as this was our first project, but Bassett Carpentry exceeded all expectations and did the perfect job. They also installed the kitchen itself, which we love. We are very grateful and actually missed having them around once the extension was complete! Thank you so much.

Andy and Pete consistently confirmed that we'd made the right decision when we asked them to build a single storey extension onto the back of our house and a replacement porch. They were not only highly skilled, patient, honest, trustworthy and communicative, they (and their team) were just great people to have around. That's pretty vital when they are going to spend months on your project! They used their vast experience and network to quickly resolve any challenges which arose and have left us with a life changing extension that we enjoy each and every day. The gorgeous extension is filled with light due to an apex roof housing two Velux windows and a complete wall of bifold doors with glass gable end. The Utility Room houses our white goods at a raised level for ease of use and our very swanky porch (!) is rendered as per the bottom half of the entire house. Quite a transformation! For your interest I attach before, during and after photos of their work here in Chandler's Ford We would not hesitate to recommend them.

So pleased I made a call to ‘Little Island carpentry’ last year. I hadn’t even looked at the website but I liked the company name….good enough reason! We soon found out that Ross is extremely personable and his work is immaculate. He takes such pride in doing things well and our hall cupboard looked really smart & tidy after he had installed shelving and built housing around the electric meter & fuse box. Recently he went above and beyond when asked to install new kitchen cupboard doors for us….We thought the carcasses would be ok as the apartment is fairly new. However it turned out they were all out of alignment due to initial poor installation. Many others may have covered this up…but not Ross…thankfully! He set to making everything right before fixing the new doors and now we have a brand new kitchen - it’s perfect in every way. Ross never complains and always looks for solutions. His knowledge and commitment to his work is outstanding He is also a genuinely nice person and I cannot recommend him highly enough - you won’t be disappointed.

I was looking to book a benchmarking experience to do with my siblings and dad for his 70th. I couldn’t find anyone who offered this but after messaging a lot of paces, Ross was the only one who replied saying he would be very happy to help do this for us. Ross was incredibly helpful in organising this experience from the designs to the selection of wood and being so accommodating to the dates that worked for us. We did it over a weekend under his fantastic supervision and help who had everything planned out for us! I couldn’t recommend this any more. A brilliant experience, incredibly fun and came out of it with a beautiful bench.

Booked this company to build a decking feature and a garden shed and very pleased with the results. The costs was very competitive and the workmanship is excellent. Polite, on time, great work and good prices. Would definitely use again.

Thank you so much to Ross, Callum, Danny for all the beautiful work that you have done on my new house. Fitting internal fire doors and fitting the Millboard decking. Thank you for being so professional and honouring your word every time. I will post pictures soon.

Bespoke Carpentry Ltd were incredible throughout! Professional, great communication and an immaculate finish to the custom shelves they made for us in our lounge 👌🏻🙏🏻

We have used Lewis for years now for two kitchens, a bathroom and hoping for our staircase and conservatory soon. He goes above and beyond every time. His attention to detail is spot on and he always recommends extra touches which is so helpful. We wouldn’t use anyone else!

Fantastic workmanship and attention to detail in the build of our media wall. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lewis - his work is first rate.

Brilliant work from Lewis. Really understood our brief and also introduced some great ideas. Fully recommend.

Jonny fitted nine doors at my house last year. Firstly he is a really nice guy, secondly he is a good carpenter, and lastly nothing is too much trouble. For example I wanted to instal the old doors at my daughters and Jonny took them all over there for me in his van. I was very satisfied with the workmanship, he has the right tools, knows how to use them, and the end result has lifted the whole house. He did most of the cutting outside to reduce the dust inside, but hey its wood working and it makes some sawdust. I thoroughly recommend Jonny, he has good attention to detail, cleans up after himself, will happily adjust anything once it’s fitted, and his prices are competitive.

Can’t recommend Jonny enough! Clean, tidy & professional. Very happy with our custom build cupboards/shelves and the fitting of new doors throughout the house.

We are very happy with Jonny's mastery in carpentry. He's helpful, punctual, tidy and very quick. We will be calling him for more projects shortly and I'd definitely recommend him for anyone in the area. He has also got a great personality, which is a big plus for any tradesperson!

Highly recommend Jonny. His work is brilliant, he is reasonably priced, punctual and polite. He recently built a cabinet and shelves for me from scratch and the results are fantastic. We spoke briefly about what I wanted to achieve, and he immediately came up with recommended solutions and then smashed through the work. Anytime I need carpentry services in future, I will 100% be phoning Jonny, which is probably the best thing I can say!

Right from our first meeting we knew we had made the right choice. It’s the details, with so much experience they know exactly what works and what doesn’t, it’s the real difference between, just a green oak frame and a beautifully design and crafted hand made living structure. Everyone and we mean everyone, who comes to our home just goes “WOW” this is stunning. Makes us soo proud. Thank you The Green Oak Carpentry Company, you are simply the best. Ian & Penny Croucher. Somerset.

Great craftsmanship and a lovely team of people to work with. Come and visit us!

I worked with Green Oak Carpentry recently to photograph a few of their projects. I also visited their workshops to watch the team at work and they were all very friendly and their work looked great. Very tidy workshops too - I'm impressed! Beautiful projects and Josh in the office has been great to work with. I look forward to our next shoot! ☺️

Absolutely amazing company! We had been left with many problems from a previous builder and our stairs needing completely replacing. Applewood Joinery were superb. They redesigned and refitted our stairs to an exceptional standard. The stairs are a work of art and hugely admired by everyone who comes to the house. The Applewood team were faultless in their service and everyone was dedicated to getting the job completed perfectly. They worked to time and left everything clean and tidy. We can't thank them enough and would thoroughly recommend them.

We are so delighted, and would highly recommend Applewood. Our wooden floors are perfect and finished to such a high standard. Our beautiful oak staircase with glass panelling is incredible, with our bespoke wine cabinet, nestled underneath and finishing it all off, really gives our hallway the wow-factor. Every part of the project was well designed, neatly installed, and the quality of the service was second to none. The team were so friendly, a real pleasure to have in our home, and such skilled craftsmen. Thank-you all so much.

We have just had 2 sets of internal doors crafted and installed by Applewood Joinery. Both sets are beautiful and such an improvement on the originals. Friendly and efficient installers and we would definitely recommend them.

Applewood designed and built and fitted a bespoke under stairs cupboard. Very happy with the quality of the end result, that matches the internal lounge doors very nicely.
