James is very reliable and skilled at what he does. He has built fitted wardrobes, cupboards, bespoke kitchen and laid decking in my garden. I would definitely recommend him.

James has completed a lot of work at my home over a number of years and he is brilliant. I can't recommend him enough. He can turn his hand to anything and if there's anything he can't do (which is rare), he knows someone who can. Outside; he has re-positioned my garden shed (single handed), including concrete base; replaced (lowered) decking, which had been laid too high by previous tradesman, laid pebble patio, and put York stone around my garden pond, and put a flat roof on my kitchen. Inside he has designed and built three built in wardrobes (amazing carpenter), decorated two bedrooms, and laid wood flooring in one. He recently turned the carcass of an integral fridge freezer (which died) into a pantry. This has improved my kitchen no end! James is a perfectionist and his work is always to an incredibly high standard, and he always cleans up after himself leaving everything spotless after every working day. No job is too small and he is so helpful. He even came round at very short notice to rescue a young magpie stuck up my chimney when the World Cup was on!! I am hoping to get him round to do more work soon...laying engineered wood flooring downstairs, more carpentry work, and decorating. Only hope he can fit me in!

James has worked on my house on several occasions and has consistently excelled all of our expectations. He is versatile and can think outside of the box. He made a bespoke fitting for our bath so that the panel now fits, as we had previously employed a plumber that had installed our bath at the wrong height. He has made wooden panels to finish off our staircase, again poor workmanship left from a previous builder. He supplied and fixed a made to measure mirror in our shower room, it’s perfect and has transformed the room! He’s hung doors and even picture frames. Nothing is too much trouble. We’re currently employing him to lay new wooden laminate flooring and he’s also going to decorate the bedroom and even put up a curtain pole. He will be dismantling wardrobes and rebuilding them once the floor is fitted. He is a very skilled carpenter and always delivers and provides excellent workmanship. I thoroughly recommend him.

I have no hesitation recommending James for work of the highest quality. He is an excellent craftsman and completes a job to the highest standard. He is also trustworthy, honest, friendly, tidy and will be flexible around clients needs where necessary. He is someone I will consult in relation to all the needs of my property, whether the jobs are small or large.

Jon did an amazing job on my new kitchen which involved dismantling my old kitchen and appliances, stripping the tiles, plasterboarding the walls and ceiling, assembling the flat packed kitchen cabinets, worktops, tiling both worktop surfaces and floor and replacing and fitting a new kitchen door. Jon worked to an exceptional standard and his impeccable timekeeping, professionalism, keen eye to detail and his quality of work was second to one. From the moment he submitted his quote for my kitchen to final completion three weeks later, he worked tirelessly to bring my dream kitchen to its reality, and not forgetting the brilliant team working with Rob the electrician to complete the kitchen which has brought such positive reactions from friends and family! Their reactions were just ‘WOW’!!! Thank you Jon for bringing my dream kitchen to life! I am so pleased with it. All the best in your future endeavours!!

Jon has fitted my new kitchen and has done an excellent job. He pays great attention to the small details which reflects well in the final result. He is also a very nice person to have in your home. I am so pleased with his work that I want him to come back in the new year for another project.

Jon purpose built some storage for us, hung two doors and plastered my son’s room. We were very happy with all the work carried out. Jon originally did a lot of work on our house ten years ago- laying flooring and fitting our kitchen- and even now the work still looks good, it was a no- brainer to get him back to do these new jobs. Jon is polite, helpful with suggestions and kept to time. I will be asking Jon to complete further work for us.

FANTASTIC JOB! Paul & the team took on the project for my recent extension. This involved building a cabin in the garden, knocking down my garage and extending the side of the house creating a study, utility room and a large kitchen/diner. From start to finish they were extremely professional, punctual, hard working and respectful. They really went the extra mile cleaning up as they went along and talking me through what was happening. I highly recommend - Paul is a perfectionist and extremely skilled in what he does. He project managed this job smoothly and is always one step ahead.

Couldn't recommend Derek enough. He is a true craftsman and a pleasure to do business with. Absolutely brilliant at communicating everything clearly, and was very quick at designing and fitting the cupboards just how we wanted them. He was also very honest and transparent about payment. I will definitely be getting him to design more for our house in the future, the shelves and cupboards are great.

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.
