The Best Carpenters in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom (2025)

MJS completed a conversion of our kitchen and dining room into a large family kitchen-diner. We could not be happier with the outcome. MJS project managed the whole renovation and everything was finished to the highest standard. In fact, we’ve just asked them back to work on our next project. Highly recommend.

Honest and friendly guy; really helpful.

Really pleased with the work completed which ended up being a lot more complicated than initially anticipated. The team adapted swiftly and professionally to get the project across the line after many professionals before them had let us down.

Great service.

Ian re-upholsterd our couch and chairs,we never knew how so much better they could be,he did a excellent job ,he is our go to guy now for our furniture renovation , thanks Ian.

Bryan has completed two separate pieces of work for me, both to a really high quality. Firstly outside house maintenance and then a refit if my kitchen. He is a very talented craftsman, I was really impressed with his professionalism and standard of his work. He also worked well with other contractors involved and left every clean, tidy and is a really nice guy. I’d highly recommended him.

Bryan supplied and hung some internal doors for us, and did a great job. Bryan is an experienced carpenter, and a nice guy. He arrived early, worked hard, and kept the place tidy. The doors were supplied from Howdens with a base coat/ready to paint, which we did ourselves. I would recommend Bryan/Carpentry UK, not just for simple jobs like ours but for bigger projects.

We contacted Bryan for the fitting of two new interior doors. After a speedy response a home visit appointment was made so I could show Bryan exactly what I needed doing. On the day of installation Bryan arrived on time and done a fantastic job on our doors, plus gave me advice on how and what to use to treat our oak doors for protection. We have four more interior doors that need replacing and i will definitely be calling Bryan again. Thanks for a very professional job.

I've used Bryan a number of times now. He's fitted wooden flooring through downstairs, replaced kitchen work tops and most recently fitted an oak beam above my fireplace. I can't recommend him enough. Great workmanship, great guy and has always left the place clean and tidy.. Hightly recommend!!

I cannot recommend Davira Carpentry highly enough! Igor always communicated with us promptly, visited the house 4 times whilst he was constructing our media wall and then fitted it in one day. His work is amazing and we are thrilled with the finished result. Thank you so much! Look no further if you need a carpenter.

Alcove Media Unit - Apr-24: Fantastic job and highly recommend. Igor is a very good carpenter and built our alcove unit to the left side of our fireplace, housing our cat 6 networking and media devices. The build was finished to a high standard, and provided very good value for money. I think one of the real strengths is Igor’s communication & attention to detail throughout, discussing different options for materials / finishes & taking time with measuring to support accurate quoting upfront, as well as providing updates throughout the build and prior to install. I just need to finish the rest of the fireplace now! Excellent service, thank you again Igor and will definitely be in touch again for future projects!

Tony designed and fitted our kitchen, and we are so pleased with the results. The quality, fit and finish are amazing, and we were able to have a custom made kitchen that works for us. The whole team were great, and choosing someone local made the whole process so much easier. Would definitely recommend, and already looking at the next project for Tony!

We have used Tim several times for carpentry work, including a bespoke piece which attracts much admiration. He listens carefully to what you need and gives great advice which adds to the final product. Tim is a perfectionist and his work is always immaculate, with great attention to detail. He leaves the area clean and tidy. Tim is a craftsman and I totally recommend him.

Tim recently refurbished my new beauty salon and done an amazing job. His attention to detail and design ideas haven’t gone unnoticed by clients. He gave me a high end finish to my new salon. Highly recommend!

Tim is a consummate craftsman. He has an excellent eye for detail and style. We largely left the design elements of the bespoke furniture he made for us up to him. All of his suggestions were great and we are delighted with the final result of everything he has made. He is friendly, polite and punctual, and leaves the work area spotlessly clean when he is finished. The quality of his work is exceptional and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

We could not be more pleased with his work. Tim is a perfectionist, talented and obviously takes great pride in his work. He will take all the time he needs to design and build things to the highest standard. I really wish we'd found him sooner in our renovation journey!

Richard is a fantastic teacher, with huge amounts of skill, knowledge and patience and an all round top bloke to work with. I spent one day a week in the workshop for a few months making a garden bench with no previous hands-on knowledge of woodworking. I learned so many different processes from sharpening chisels to making mortises by hand and have a new level of attention to detail and a love of incra rulers! I'm so delighted with how the bench turned out and have had lots of great comments. The workshop is also really well equipped, so the hardest thing is to decide what to make next!

What an incredibly positive experience. I had a great day learning how to make a Japanese toolbox. I was allowed to use so many new and different tools including a Japanese Saw ( I’m going to buy one of those). Richard was a great tutor very patient and helpful as well as being informative he showed me how to correct mistakes and kept me on the right track. His workshop has got just about every tool that you can imagine to make some amazing things. I would highly recommend booking a day to actually create something and see just what you’re capable of

My 11 year old daughter and I spent a day with Rich making a stool. We had the most wonderful day and would highly recommend it to anyone who fancies giving woodwork a try. Rich was so friendly, helpful and patient. We are complete beginners but with Rich's support and demos we did most of it ourselves using lots of tools and machines, and learnt so much. He even kindly welcomed us back for a few hours the next day to finish off as we ran out of time on the day. We are looking forward to our next project. Thank you Rich!

I've been wanting to make a career change for a little while now, and I really liked the idea of woodworking. I spent some time with Rich making a stool just to get a feel for the process and see if it would be something I could pursue further. Rich was amazing to work with, knowledgeable, informative and generally a stand-up bloke. I've come away feeling much more hopeful that woodworking is something I can get into. Rich even recommended me to a local cabinet maker's company to try and help me get a foot in the door. I will most definitely be returning as soon as I am able to. Thank you Rich!

Our bathroom installers uncovered a joist in our shower room which had almost rotted through thus delaying the renovation of the room. We contacted Mark who speedily came round to assess the damage and returned quickly to do an amazing job. He was punctual, extremely hardworking and speedily rectified the problem. His work was exemplary and he is conscientious and tidy. Also, we were very grateful to Tony (Mark’s dad) for his expertise in some plumbing works that needed dealing with at the same time. We have no hesitation in recommending both Mark and Tony.

Mark has totally transformed our house by changing 10 doors and doorframes, all skirting and architraves as well as fitting a brand-new kitchen. All work was carried out meticulously with amazing attention to detail and fine carpentry skills. As we required a total renovation, Mark was able to give us advice and guidance regarding how to approach our project step by step from Day 1. It could be said that he was the backbone of our project with other trades (whom he has connections with) fitted in to the calendar as we moved along. As well as giving accurate time frames, he also worked very tediously and left the rooms clean as he moved throughout the house.

We hired generation carpentry to extend and renovate our kitchen and bathroom. The work was of excellent quality and they were a pleasure to work with. I would recommend to others thinking about a similar project, I am very pleased with the end result.

We used Generation Carpentry for our living room renovation. Mark and his team carried out a number of jobs, including re-plastering and painting the walls, installing new skirting boards, fixing a creaky staircase, fixing and repainting our front door and installing new cupboards and shelving units with LED lights on either side of our fireplace. Mark was incredibly easy to work with and we found his services to be competitively priced. He communicated with us every step of the way and was able to bring in other professionals as and when the job required. Mark takes pride in the work that he does and that is evident in the end result. We could not be more happy with our living room, which looks brand new, despite our home being over 100 years old! Would highly recommend Mark and his team. Thank you for a brilliant job.

Can’t recommend Ben enough. Carried out a number of general carpentry jobs for us (including some very old and wonky stairs) And the quality and detailing achieved was better than I could have ever hoped for! Superb work, would 100% use again and recommend

Ben recently built bespoke cabinetry for our fish tanks, with a matching fire surround. He listened carefully to what we wanted to achieve in terms of looks and practical access and gave a lot of thought to potential issues (e.g. the effect of water near wood) in developing the design. Whilst working he was friendly and kept things very clean and tidy. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and would recommend him and hope to book him for more projects in future.

Ben has worked for us for many years, undertaking panelling, building, cabinetry, flooring, and many other carpentry related works. He is very efficient, and the quality of his work is excellent, his attention to detail is 2nd to none and he often comes up with fantastic ideas too. Would definitely recommend him.

Ben has done three projects for us, so far he has built for us.. 1) 1 fantastic drinks bar 2) 2 wonderful shelving units with optics 3) 2 fabulous garden benches Ben is so easy to get on with he listens to what you want done and also has a lot of knowledge and expertise so he can help you work out the best ways of putting your dream into a reality. We would 100% recommend Ben to anyone we are so happy with the work he has done for us everything is so well made and beautiful workmanship.
