Ted has done some great work for me in 2014 - we worked together to design this wine wall and Ted then built and installed it to a very high standard. He also managed all the other trades, Electrical, Air Conditioning and Glass doors. A complex job that turned out really well. Many thanks.

Ted built a cupboard for us to house our boiler and hot water tank. It was in a tricky spot with sloping ceilings and very few straight lines in a very old house. Ted did an amazing job to a really high standard, worked quickly, and always cheerful. Really happy with the work done!

Ted has worked with us for three projects over the last year, 2024, a library, dressing room and media wall. These have been completed to an exceptional standard. We love so many of the details, particularly the attention to detail, the use of led integral lighting and the use of real woods. Ted came to visit to ensure he understood the brief, sent us drawings and ideas and then came to install on the dates he had promised. This is a rare thing with contractors, being on time, on budget and very helpful. Ted ensured the area he had been working was tidy and safe at the end of every day. Furthermore, even if the weather was atrocious, he turned up! He brought with him a tent to work outside on cutting and plaining so there was limited mess inside. We cannot commend Ted highly enough. He has delivered what we wanted with thought, creativity and care about our projects. Thank you Ted!

Ted came to our rescue as we were let down by our staircase fitter half way through installation. His work and attention to detail is of an extreme high quality. Our stairs look stunning after he completed the work which included fitting glass panels. Highly recommend.

Some of our windows were rotten through and we assumed we would need replacement. Rob was honest and advised us to go with repair, saving us a considerable amount. The repairs have been done to an excellent standard and the windows look brand new. Would use again and highly recommend.

Absolutely made up with my new windows! Robert and his team did an amazing job. I also have to echo what the other comments say, that Robert was extremely professional from the beginning when I had the initial quote done. He filled me with confidence and I knew right from then that they were the best company to go with out of the 5 other quotes I had done over the previous year. The fact that they come pre-painted with gloss was also a no brainer as it meant a big saving in costs for scaffolding and a painter/decorator. Great value for money and communication from the beginning has been fast and efficient throughout the whole process. I have a bit of OCD when it comes to certain details and they delivered on all my requests which I'm extremely happy about. I feel that they went above and beyond what I was expecting. What I was also impressed about was how clean they were and they actually left the room cleaner than when they arrived! I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will use them again in the future if I ever need new windows or carpentry. Keep up with the great work guys and good luck for the future.

Rob and his team did a terrific job! A number of our windows weren’t even operable, and now all are fitted properly, and open and close with ease. He replaced the secondary glazing along with a windowsill we discovered had rotted. He was there to help and advise from start to finish - laying out our options, providing clear cost estimates and doing the repair work on schedule. We highly recommend Rob and his team!

We replaced the front set of windows on our Victorian terraced property with double-glazed hardwood sash windows made and fitted by Traditional Carpentry, and Robert and his team were outstanding. Rob had actually helped us repair a number of windows at the property several years ago, and did such a good job we tracked him down when we wanted to replace them. Rob provided a detailed budget and timeframe at the outset, and kept to both, and he promised great quality and absolutely delivered. His team went above and beyond, even doing general maintenance work around the windows to sort some rot without charging. A very reliable, honest and hardworking team - I would highly recommend and we will definitely use again in future.

I highly recommend Derek's work!! Previously Derek built two bespoke alcove cabinets for my office and more recently he's built our master wardrobe. I could not be happier with the finished products. He is very respectful when visiting the house and is always pre-prepared, meaning this work is completed in an amazing time. I'm already planning for him to build our next set of alcove cabinets, and wardrobes for the kids bedrooms. If you are considering Derek for any carpentry, you will not be disappointed.

Derek has designed and fitted several amazing cupboards, wardrobes, bench seat and bedside cabinets for our newly renovated home. His designs and quality of work are simply amazing. All our visitors remark on his fantastic craftmanship, thoughtfulness and design. Derek was recommended to us by several friends who he had designed and fitted furniture for. Their furniture too, was outstanding and this is why we asked Derek to help us. From start to finish Derek provides an amazing service and is the most delightful man to work with. We wish you all the very best, Derek. With all our thanks Pam and Steve

We cannot believe our luck in stumbling across Derek on FB whilst looking for a carpenter. From the very first email to the last brush of paint Derek has been utterly outstanding. Everything he does is with love, care and total precision which is only narrowly beaten by his knowledge and expertise. He is the epitome of excellence and we couldn’t have asked for more. Derek’s work is simply flawless and we cannot recommend him enough.

I had a hideous 50's built in wardrobe that needed replacing, Derek made suggestions and sketches of what I wanted, measured up, built and delivered it, all flawlessly painted to my specs two weeks later, he had it all fitted and finished in a day, you would never know any work had been done, everything was spotless. Absolutely delighted. (I should add I'm his brother so you won't trust me but check out the other reviews...!!)

Mike is a lovely guy, made us a fabulous bespoke kitchen, and we have had him back 2 years later to make some bathroom shelving units too. All work done with a minimum of fuss and mess and so precise!

Rating: 5 / 5

We have used Mick a few times now for a built in desk, storage facility, shelving and window sill installation and other works. He listens and finds solutions, is clearly well experienced, and his work is of the highest quality at a fair price. He is also punctual, respectful of your house and does what he promises to do. I wouldnt hesitate in recommending him to anyone.

I hired the services of Martin for an extensive remodeling of the downstairs of our home. We had a new layout and new kitchen.

Chris has just completed a couple of jobs for me including redoing the opening mechanism of my garage...which now opens with ease. He turned up when he said he would and left the work area tidy. I will definitely be calling on Chris for my next job.

Chris did a great job for me. Made bespoke cabinets for my living room and then I had him back to put new decking in my back garden. His work was excellent both times, and very reasonable in terms of cost.

I am so happy with the wardrobes Jake created for me! They look so sleek, and are completely bespoke to the space as well as accommodating all my requests for the configuration inside. The finish is amazing and really changed the whole feel of the room. I could not be happier and already looking forward to getting some more things booked in. Jake is very professional and respectful as well which is so important when someone’s working in your home. Thank you so much Jake!

Our new apartment came with a difficult design challenge; the radiator was positioned right underneath where the TV needed to be. We knew our only option was to get something bespoke made, which not only looked great, matching the styling of our living room, but also hid the radiator, whilst allowing it to still function and fully vent its heat, as well as a slatted wall feature with shelves. Jake was without question the right man for the job, demonstrating his expertise and professionalism from the outset. He was always friendly, punctual, easily contactable, and really professional throughout the entire process. Jake carefully guided us through the design phase, ensuring that we were involved in every decision. He created detailed 3D drawings that allowed us to visualize the project and make any necessary adjustments before the actual build commenced. This collaborative approach was highly appreciated and ensured that the final product would meet our exact specifications. He presented us with many different options for types of wood and treatments, helping us to select the best materials that would complement our living room's décor. The final build looked exactly like the 3D drawings, which was incredibly satisfying. The quality of the build and the finish exceeded our expectations; it looks amazing and seamlessly integrates with the rest of our living space. We couldn't be happier with Jake's work. The bespoke TV cabinet not only solved our radiator issue but also added a beautiful, functional piece of furniture to our home. We would definitely use his services again and cannot recommend him more highly to anyone looking for a skilled carpenter who can deliver exceptional bespoke solutions.

The work done by Richard was top quality. We had a bit of an idea of what we wanted the units to look like but not fully detailed. As soon as we spoke to Richard about it he got what we wanted and designed and delivered it. We couldn’t be happier with how it looks. Fantastic company and would use them again.

I engaged CS Carpentry to replace some external (now internal) French doors, they have previously replaced all our internal doors, which is why I returned to them for this work. Richard the carpenter was great, precise, professional and his work was exceptional! We were very happy with the end result, which now completes our downstairs living area. I can highly recommend them, just brilliant! Thank you

Very positive experience with everything about CS Carpentry. Craig and his team installed a beautiful banister on our staircase. It was constructed, fitted and finished to a very high standard. Would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a first-class job done.

Rating: 5 / 5

Over the last six months C S Carpentry & Construction were engaged to undertake a variety of major carpentry projects including: the boarding up and securing of a property and the provision of metal doors and metal sheets on windows. Craig and his team of highly skilled professionals delivered a timely, reliable, excellent service on each occasion without any drama. They have now been added to my list of trusted trades people who I can freely recommend to others seeking carpentry and/or allied services.
