Rating: 5 / 5

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

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.

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.

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.

I hired the services of Martin for an extensive remodeling of the downstairs of our home. We had a new layout and new kitchen. Martin was always on time, worked hard, was very knowledgeable and produced an excellent finish. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a carpenter or electrician.

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!

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.

Amazing bespoke wardrobes fitted for us by Jake. The quality is amazing and he made the process very simple from consultation and design to fitting. Super happy with the results! 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

5 stars - would definitely recommend for all your kitchen fitting needs! Professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Our kitchen was fitted to a very high standard with quality workmanship. Top marks :)

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.

Dean did a great job. He was very punctual and answered any queries we had. Very pleased with the outcome and kitchen looks bra d new!

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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 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.

We asked Chris to replace our banister rail. He turned up when he said he would to measure and estimate and again to complete the work He was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Good quality materials, a job well done.

Rating: 5 / 5

I asked Chris if he could fit a couple of doors for me. He made some really good suggestions as well as having reasonable rates. Chris is a brilliant carpenter, really reliable and always leaves the job clean and tidy. I am really glad I found him and am looking forward to finding more projects for him.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Excellent work and a great experience with this company. They were very busy when I contacted them, but they responded straight away and gave a realistic timeframe for the work. Really prompt communications and friendly staff. Our replacement sash fits perfectly. Ryan did a great job fitting our window, efficient with attention to detail that we appreciate.

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.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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!

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

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!!

Hi. I had these guys build a gazebo from scratch on site in 3 days. Some 5 meters wide and 3 meters deep. They are awesome. Hardworking guys who got on with the job with a high degree of skill. The quality of the materials they use are excellent. All solid and good quality. Their knowledge of how to build and construct properly is great. Cleaned up after themselves and left the place tidy at the end of each day. Thoroughly recommend these guys if you want the job done properly.
