Best Carpenters in Whitstable, Kent (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

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...!!)

We were very impressed by Whitstable Carpentry and working with david on our projects has been an absolute pleasure. He Completed the work with excellent craftsmanship and to a very high standard, making sure every small detail was to our liking. He clearly cares a lot about what he does and his customers. He made sure the bedroom was as dust free as possible and always tidied and cleaned up after himself. He was polite and courteous towards us and always kept us well informed about how everything was coming along. An all round excellent experience!

Highly recommended! We had an open staircase in our new house but wanted it closed in with a new bannister/balustrade so that we could fit a stair gate for our baby and David did a beautiful job. His quote was very reasonable, he worked quickly and tidily and with excellent attention to detail. Would not hesitate to use him again.

This is the second time we had David out and, as the first time, we were really pleased with the result! David is a very skilful carpenter who always carried out his job in a very professional way and he leaves the property spot cleaned, which is a bonus. He is also courteous, polite and friendly; 10 out of 10!

We had David come to ours and fit our new kitchen work tops 2 years ago and they we're perfect. We recently decided to rehang our downstairs toilet door so it opened into the Hall and not into the toilet so called David back in. Not a simple task as the door frame was custom made over 30 years ago. David modified the door frame rather thank replace the whole thing. It mentioned we could keep everything the same. He did a great, neat and tidy job. We're very pleased with the results.

This is a really great business, I had bifold and French doors plus 3 windows made in oak to an excellent standard a year ago and they are still looking after me a year on with after care, Ben is really good ensuring everything is right and Stuart is so good and so skilled as a craftsman and is not happy unless it’s 100% right

I'm delighted with our new kitchen. Tom is a friendly, hard-working and talented carpenter. Tom listened carefully to our design ideas and built cabinets that are top quality and seemingly bomb proof. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Tom did an incredible job creating and installing our Birch ply kitchen worktops in Whitstable. He is highly skilled and had real attention to detail. Tom made sure we got exactly what we wanted and had great communication throughout. We will definitely be asking him back again for more projects.
