Look at the difference! On the left are a set of 135 year old stairs that where falling apart and on the right my beautiful, refurbished stairs. And I adore them. I contacted Brothers Carpentry Ltd to get advise and a quote to replace the staircase. Rafal advised that the stairs where built into the house and would be a huge job to replace. He then suggested having overlays instead which would be less mess and more cost effective. No brainer!! The team arrived bang on time on the agreed date. To complete the stairs, it took 1 day, and they are superb. They look amazing, I chose solid oak with no knots as I wanted a modern look, which has been achieved. Rafal and Ollie, are the cleanest workers I've met. Apart from the lovely staircase, they left without a leaving a trace of dust. All rubbish was removed without question. I would 100% recommend Brothers Carpentry Ltd and will definitely consider th for our next project. Rafals communications where great, just enough to give reassurance that your request is important to them. Thank you Brothers Carpentry Ltd

We worked with Brothers Carpentry last summer to get bespoke, pull out, under stairs storage built. The guys worked with our ideas, their own ideas from experience and the bespoke requirements of things we needed to be able to access behind the storage to design and build excellent and quality storage. We've lived with it for a few months now and are really happy with the quality, finish and design. We've had lots of compliments. Thanks again!

Rafal and Janusz have been absolutely amazing! They have done a number of jobs for us including building shelves for our new build wardrobes and creating a beautiful outdoor space for us with a pragola and garden room which I absolutely love! They are extremely professional, hard working and have an attention to detail. Top quality work!!

After being let down by numerous other carpenters we were so glad to find Brothers Carpentry. Our first project was to utilise an alcove in our bedroom into a shoe/handbag wardrobe. They responded promptly and arrived when arranged, with an array of samples to choose (this was a first!) Great start guys! First impressions count, very polite and helpful. Quote arrived in good time and date was arranged. Communication was great. I absolutely love my shoe/handbag wardrobe. Exceeded all expectations and I’m so happy we were let down by others initially because I know the project would not have been as aesthetically pleasing. We then went on to use Rafal and Jan for bespoke corner units for bedroom and living room. Finally this week a bespoke wardrobe fitted, designs were agreed, changed and changed again with no issues. Very accommodating to our needs. Even took delivery of wardrobe doors whilst we were on holiday to prevent any delay to fitting date. Again exceeded our expectations and finally now have the organisation and a beautiful dream home. Thank you! Now, for the next venture…Rafal and Jan will be back to build my new aesthetics salon/clinic (Aphrodite Aesthetics) in our garden next year. Honestly, I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do it as I know they will go above and beyond to bring my vision to life. Please don’t waste your time on other carpenters, waiting for responses and no shows, Rafal and Jan are just a call away 😊 Hayley & Matt

It was hard to get into Jake’s diary with our project. However, Jake is one of the best tradespersons that has ever come through our doors. He was very patient with our search for the exact product we wanted, requesting multiple samples and bringing them for review. The execution was smooth, tidy, clean and very neat. Top quality finishing. And just a great character to work with plus incredibly diligent - staying till 7pm on a Friday to complete a section of work. Highly recommended for sure!

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.

Jake did a great job of our window bench / book seat. Lovely guy, professional, tidy. Highly recommended.

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!

I had been looking for a good carpenter for a long time, after a couple of let downs. I did a Google search of local carpenters and saw Curtis’s website. I liked the look of the reviews so asked Curtis if he could come round and give me a quote on a new landing balustrade, stair handrail and spindles. As soon as Curtis turned up I liked him, really nice guy, helpful and professional. I went with Curtis to do the work. His standard of work was exemplary, and he was prompt, tidy and professional. We are already planning a new kitchen as the next project. Highly recommended. Thanks Curtis.

Happy to recommend C.Perkins Joinery - we are delighted with the job Curtis has done for us (making and fitting a solid oak fire surround). At every stage he has done what he said he would, listened to our requests, provided samples of wood and advised us on finishes to ensure we got what we wanted, kept in touch about dates/timescales. It is a pleasure to have him working in the house. He was very respectful of our home, left everything clean and tidy, was cheerful and we could not be more pleased with the job he has done. Will definitely approach him for future projects.

Curtis made and fitted some bespoke under stairs storage units for us. We are so happy with them! Our hallway now not only has concealed storage but looks absolutely beautiful! Can very highly recommend Curtis, he is very polite and is very thorough and tidy in his work. The work was completed on time, the price very reasonable and as originally quoted. We received advice throughout and his aftercare was excellent! Very happy! Thank you Curtis!

Curtis was at our property for three days removing 11 internal doors and fitting 11 new ones. Firstly, He is a really pleasant guy. He was very respectful of our property and decor and left the house clean an tidy. He did a great job with the doors and was kind enough to cut all the old doors in half to make it easier for us to dispose of them. Unlike some tradesmen he wasn’t interested in tea or coffee and only had the odd glass of water whilst with us.( Although he’d have been very welcome had he wanted hot drinks!) I would certainly use Curtis again in the future and have no hesitation recommending him for your carpentry needs.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

The quality of the Windows that I received from Ted really couldn't be beaten. Plus excellent service and communication during the in the initial measuring and specification, then into fitting. They have absolutely transformed my build, have already had appreciative comments from neighbors and I have no doubt they will outlast me and with care, those that follow. I can certainly recommend Ted and would use his services again.

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.

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!

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

C S Carpentry and Construction have undertaken two carpentry jobs for me - both of which were completed to an incredibly high standard by a professional and polite team. They fitted bespoke wall units/shelving and built a pagoda and privacy screening in my garden. At every stage I was consulted on what I wanted exactly and as the work progressed that the outcome they were creating was the vision I had in mind. I cannot fault the quality of their work and their advice on how my idea could be further enhanced with particular finishing. I would thoroughly recommend the business and will be using them again in the future for any carpentry work I might need completing.

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

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Great to have someone that turns up when they say they will. We just wanted worktops and sink fitted and Dean did a professional job at a good price. We are very pleased and would highly recommend.

I had dean fit a kitchen for me last year and make some custom built in wardrobes at the same time. He turned up when he said he would and left the area clean and tidy when he was finished. There were a couple of issues with the kitchen designs(designed by myself not dean) and he was quick to find a solution and complete the project on time! I would recommend!

Rating: 5 / 5

The installation by Dean Barry was excellent. His attention to detail is a credit to him. He was always on time, polite and cleaned and tidied up at the end of every day. My wife and I are really pleased with the kitchen installation, we can't recommend him highly enough.

I had a small job but I wanted it doing properly, Adrian came and hung 8 honeycomb shelves for us. He came soon after I'd called and did a great job, we're really pleased with the finished result. I've kept his details in my contacts, I wouldn't hesitate to call on him again. Thanks Adrian.

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.
