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

We highly recommend Mark Lloyd. His work is outstanding and precise. A true craftsman. Nothing too much trouble. Clean and tidy. We had new oak balustrades and newel posts. Also wood panelling as you can see in the photos.

Booked Mark to fit 4 internal doors after he did such a great job fitting a kitchen worktop for us. Mark arrived on the day agreed, on time. Measured the individual frames (all different sizes!), removed the old doors, cut the doors to size, fitted the door handles & added an additional hinge for each door. During his visit, Mark was friendly, professional & tidied up after he'd finished the job. He cut the old doors in half to make it easier for me to dispose of them. And he took away some wood that needed to be edged / bevelled as he didn't have the tools woth him and returned it a couple of days later which I will be making into a table. New doors look great (still need to be painted though) & fit perfectly. Another great job by Mark. Again, woud happily recommend Mark for your woodwork needs. Thanks Mark.

Mark came to refurb our staircase and has done an excellent job! Took care and tried to work us as we have toddler who naps. Explained the job as he went along and cleaned up along the way. I would highly recommend Mark!

Mark has been a breath of fresh air to work with. Arrived as promised and his eye for detail is amazing. He has completed the stairs to a fantastic level of we couldnt be happier. We would definitely ask him to quote if we need any further work in the future.

Darren fitted a front door for us. Communication was fab and he came to quote for the job quickly. He gave us a good price and we booked him to do it. He has done a great job, it looks great and works perfectly He left no mess too . We will 100% recommend him.

I recommend this company highly. I had a big list of various carpentry, repairs, installation work and door locks and handles. Everything on my list was completed to a high standard and I am very happy with the work that was done. I will use this company again in the future. thank you very much.

Darren came to fix a bedroom door that wouldn’t shut properly, he fixed it quickly and with ease. After this I have had him back to fit a bike rack and hose on the wall. He always arrives when he says and cleans up afterwards. I will definitely have him back for more jobs on my list.

Cannot recommended Darren highly enough! When our DIY project fell behind schedule we called Darren in to help cut and fit kitchen worktops and splash backs. No problems just solutions! Job done in a day! High quality professional work for a very reasonable price. An absolute gentleman! Thank you!

Sam and Trev did a fantastic job Installing a custom built wardrobe into a recess of a bedroom. A very professional job well done.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish and the final outcome far exceeded my expectations. Sam was friendly and really listened to what I wanted from my built in wardrobes. He took my ideas and helped finesse them into a final product that worked best for me and the space available. Throughout the installation and fitting Sam worked diligently and kept things neat and tidy. I am absolutely thrilled with my wardrobes and really appreciated Sam’s attention to detail. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and the work he does.

Sam has done several jobs in our home and they are all to an exceptional standard. His communication is great and he has a real attention to detail. Would highly recommend!

I was the site manager for Ajays Carpentry & Construction for a large development in Portsmouth. They built several timber houses. What struck me most was the team spirit they had. The values - we all felt safe with tools materials and no/little!! foul language. They would assist with any further requirements. They are a family firm with family values. Do all your gangs assist with a big push over Xmas? These did. An all weather team. Good quality and a pleasure to have on site. I wish Ajays Carpentry every success. Dennis Pritchard Site Manager

Jay stepped into the breach and supplied and fitted our new fire door and uprated the intumescent strip on another in our buy-to-let student house. He also sorted out both door closers, which didn't work properly. This enabled him to certificate both doors and we now have our new registration. A truly excellent service all round.

Jay has just completed installing my new Mirastone worktop, Jay and his colleague worked non stop all day, they were professional and made me feel confident that the work would get done on time, Jay said he would arrive at 8 and true to his word he did, great work, really reliable and excellent work, thank you Jay, I would highly recommend Jay

A fine bespoke bookcase was designed, made and fiited by Gavin. It started as an idea, he then created a wonderful bookcase of which I'm so proud, it is an awesome piece of furniture. He was professional, a clean worker and it is a fine piece of craftsman work, highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing we could not be any happier with the work carried out by Gavin, we explained what we wanted and he delivered. He is coming back in the new year to do some more work for us. We would highly recommend Gavin if you are looking for someone that you can trust and whose work is of the highest standard😊

GE Carpentry provide a super service from start to finish and come highly recommended. Gavin's skills are second to none; he is a truly gifted carpenter and has very high standards. He is brilliant at design, and tailoring to the needs of his clients. Gavin has completed several jobs in my house. Most recently, he fitted new doors throughout my home; not the easiest of tasks with a mixture of imperial and metric, and not one straight frame. Gavin and Troy did a super job, so pleased with the results. They arrived on time and in good spirits every day - a pleasure to have working in my home. I would recommend Gavin to anyone.

We are so pleased with the work that Gav & Troy have done! Despite several challenges (none of them Gavs fault!) Gav supported us through them all and we love the end product! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and can't wait to get him back on future problems!
