The Best Carpenters in Botley, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

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.

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.

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, 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.

Very happy with our new gaming table, it's solid and robust (glad I opted to have the legs as removable, I don't think it would have fit through the door otherwise!). Each of the four "leaves" fit together nicely. We purchased a plastic cover to go under the table cloth to help protect any spillages from reaching the baize mat. We have had a couple of games on it already and it has the cat's approval for comfort. Communication with the company was good throughout. Would recommend for board gaming enthusiasts!

Working with Stuart at Robert Rose carpentry was amazing - we created a bespoke room divider for our office, as well as some corner shelves. They were honestly so so helpful with colour for the wood, sizes etc and drew us mock ups of what the shelves would look like which was super helpful. The shelves were also much cheaper than we could get on etsy and we knew 100% that they would fit so was awesome! The office now looks way better than our gym so having to make that look nice now too haha. Thank you :)

An excellent service from start to finish. Stuart was exceptionally helpful with advice and our order was completed and delivered over a week early. Superb craftsmanship and the dividers were sent well packaged and very easy to install.Would highly recommend this company.

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

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!

Lewis was amazing! Not only was his work to the highest quality but no ask was too much trouble and he went above and beyond to make every detail just perfect! Not only that but it was a pleasure having him around the house... And very funny at times! Thank you for all your hard work Lewis. We look forward to having you work on future projects and will be recommending you to everyone!
