Best Carpenters in Ashtead, Surrey (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

We are extremely pleased with the service provided by James' team and we could not be happier with our new fitted wardrobe. From first contact with Anna to installation, communication was extremely professional. They are very knowledgeable and they take the time to address all your concerns and requests, giving you excellent advice about the design and the smallest details. The installation service was carried out smoothly, without much disruption to us and within the agreed timeframe. The quality of the product speaks for itself - a lot of our friends and family have already commented on how beautiful our new wardrobe looks and how functional is the interior. We will definitively use this company again for other bespoke jobs around our flat and we are happy with recommending them to others.

Excellent work by James and his team (Max, Chris and Attila). We had a number of custom units designed, built, fitted and painted by James Carpentry and we love them all! The team were punctual, polite, clean and have great attention to detail - they clearly take pride in their work. The quality and finish is excellent. It was a pleasure to have them at our home. We were impressed by how quickly they came round to do measurements, their patience with all our questions and the overall time it took to get everything done. Attaching some photos of their work! Would 100% recommend and use them again.

We had an alcove unit made for us and a full length wall fitted wardrobe. The whole team were fab - from the designs, to the door knobs, to how tidy and considerate they were building the units and their attention to detail. Very professional and friendly and excellent quality.

Rating: 5 / 5

I had two bespoke wardrobes built in our home by James and his team. From the initial consultation with Anna, to James and the team who built the wardrobes and Attila who hand painted them - I could not fault any part of the process. Excellent communication through-out, spoilt for choice in terms of options, well priced and built in a timely fashion to a high standard, by a team who were polite and tidy. HIGHLY recommend James Carpentry!

Focus Carpentry (Luke) are a fantastic little Gem of a tradesperson to keep in your armoury. Luke communicated well with us throughout the duration of his work and it was completed, on time and on budget (his prices were well bellow competitive quotes). Luke is a master of his trade in my opinion. He cared about the works that he did for us and was a pleasure to have around the house I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Luke and the services that he provides. He is more of a cabinet maker in my opinion but the only compounds my belief that he is a true master of his trade. CHEERS LUKE - GILES & NADEAN ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Luke did an excellent job of fixing a new internal door and realigning another door that was not closing properly. Luke also helped fix a pillar in the porch area as well as mounting security devices in my home. We are very pleased with the quality of Luke's work, his friendliness and willingness to take on last minute requests, all at reasonable rates. We hope to use him again and would recommend him without hesitation.

Luke was very helpful in my refurb. He did various jobs including skirting boards, external repairs, wardrobe removal and more. He’s polite, calm, tidy and I’d recommend him to anyone that needs general carpentry work carried out. Thanks Luke

I found Orchard Carpentry via Trust a Trader website. Ryan communicates extremely well and has over delivered on the quality of the projects I asked for. Ryan provides a thoughtful and detailed service, considering all issues and resolving. He produced custom made shelving for two rooms and his attention to detail is second to none. My wife and I are very happy indeed. The price was very fair too, not cheap but not expensive. We will be using Ryan for our kitchen refit, within the next few months, as well as any other carpentry requirements. I wholeheartedly recommend Orchard Carpentry.

Rating: 5 / 5

Ryan was recommended to us, and he certainly lived up to that recommendation. There were 6 of us in the block and he completed all the new fire door installations very efficiently, with patience and friendliness. He gave us good advice re requirements and kept in touch during the whole process of ordering right through to installation. Thoroughly recommend Ryan.

Rating: 5 / 5

Ryan and Lewis recently fitted my new kitchen. It was very easy to liaise with them and they were responsive to requests throughout, making helpful suggestions and coordinating the other trades as work progressed. The attention to detail was impressive and this shows in the final result. I am very happy with the work and would definitely use Orchard Carpentry again should the need arise.

Rating: 5 / 5

Ryan and Lewis did a fantastic job installing two new interior doors, adjusting four others, and adjusting, draughtproofing and installing a new lock on the front door. Ryan has a great reputation and is in high-demand, so lead times before work starts can be long. However, once the team starts work they are tidy and efficient and the work is high quality. We had one follow-up issue with the front door being too tight, and Ryan returned to fix the problem within two days of contact. Overall fantastic service and highly recommend.

From beginning to end of our building project, it was a joy working with Southern Building Contractors. Every single member of the team is polite, tidy and perfectionist. They took challenges and changes in their stride - nothing was too difficult. And, to top it off, their price was very competitive too! Wouldn’t use anyone else.

Rating: 5 / 5

We used Southern Contractors to renovate an old Bakehouse and create a stunning and contemporary retail space. It was an ambitious time frame but Rob and his team worked tirelessly to deliver on time and we could not be happier with the quality of work, finish and general aesthetic of the building. They faced problems, as you would expect when working in a busy High Street with limited access but every problem was dealt with immediately, in a sympathetic and professional manor. We would have no hesitation in recommending Southern Contractors, they are a great team to work.

Rating: 5 / 5

Rob and the team have spent 14 weeks building a side extension to our house involving a new garage and a glass-roofed garden room. We are delighted with the result which is totally reflective of the architects plans and the project even came in on budget too! During the build process Rob was always responsive to our input and no request was too much trouble for him and the team. We have found Southern Contractors to be a pleasure to work with and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Rating: 5 / 5

Our project was particularly complex, replacing in its entirety a large roof structure with an additional storey in a contemporary style and completely reconfiguring the ground floor. Southern Contractors were recommended to us and they did not let us down. Rob and his team worked tirelessly, keeping us informed every step of the way. With a build this complicated there was always going to be unexpected challenges but nothing phases Rob. He is totally solution orientated, often thinking outside of the box and suggesting alterations that proved more practical than the original plans. His attitude is, whatever you want, he will make it happen. He’s such a positive person, responds quickly to all communication and goes above and beyond to support you though what can be a very difficult process; we’ve all seen Grand Designs! Rob’s team were totally reliable and never let us down. Southern Contractors have built us the most spectacular home and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

We had a fantastic experience working with Carl and his team. They have transformed our tired Edwardian hallway with high quality bespoke paneling and the installation of four new doors. Courteous and efficient to work with, they provide a first class service.

Rating: 5 / 5

We had a great experience with Carl and the team. They've added, not 1, not 2 but 6 separate wardrobes/media units/storage cabinets. Really love their work!

Rating: 5 / 5

Fantastic service, seamless. Carl was an easy choice, super responsive throughout. He understood exactly what we wanted.. custom fitted shelves for our existing wardrobes. I would highly recommend Kiwi Creations and we will definitely be using them again.

Rating: 5 / 5

Carl and his team have done a magnificent job of turning a dark old fashioned ground floor living room and kitchen in a modern town house, into a beautiful open plan kitchen, living and dining room, space, it all looks amazing, an incredible transformation. Carl and his team were professional throughout and came in on time and budget, we cannot recommend Carl enough. Peter and Serena Cottrell

Marcio did an amazing job creating high quality storage in our loft. As you can see in the before and after photos they look great. He often went above and beyond to make the finish a very high standard. I would highly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

We had a fantastic experience with Marcio and his team! It is rare to come across a company that is highly skilled, reliable, and trustworthy. They built and fitted new wardrobes, custom-made 2 alcove bookcases and several shelving units, repaired the staircase and built custom-made under-stairs storage. Moreover, their painter repaired internal walls and painted the entire house, he did an amazing job as well. I'm so glad we went for this company - they are perfectionists and their work is done to a very high standard. What I really appreciate is that they go above and beyond and communicate with you throughout the process: They send photos with updates, they ask questions to make sure they do the job exactly how you want it to be done, and they are thinking outside the box when something gets tricky. On top of that, they are reasonably priced and will suggest the most affordable option for you whenever possible. The moment you employ them they are on the ball, no chasing from our side ever. They are also super lovely to deal with, even our neighbours mentioned that everyone was very polite and quiet. I wouldn't hire anyone else for carpentry or decorating work. Thank you again for all your help!

Marcio and his father-in-law did a fantastic job putting in some wardrobes in two rooms and flexible hanging/shelves in my converted attic walk-in wardrobe. The finished products look lovely and they built most of it off-site, so only entailed 3.5 days of disruption at home. They are nice guys and tidy workers, leaving the place immaculate each evening. I would definitely recommend them.

Marcio and his dad did an extraordinary job at our property, building and fitting two big wardrobes to perfection! From the very start, when Marcio first came round for a site visit, he was knowledgeable, professional and very communicative. His quote followed shortly, and then the works started and finished without any delays. The quality of craftmanship is stunning, we couldn't have asked for anything better than this! Absolute excellence! We will without hesitation pick Marcio again in the future if any new work will need to be undertaken.

Jonathan installed some kitchen cupboards and drawers for us that needed replacing. He was professional and friendly and took great pride in his work. He really took the time to make sure everything was perfect and how I wanted it. I would definitely recommend him and am planning to use his company again for another project.

Paul did an amazing job building the built in alcove units. We have just finished painting them and are so pleased with them (just need to buy some more bits and bobs for the shelves now!). Paul was super friendly and professional throughout and was great at checking back in with us around our specific requirements. Thanks Paul!

Rating: 5 / 5

Paul built fitted wardrobes for our bedroom - he is a fantastic carpenter. He was extremely efficient, friendly and kind and was able complete the whole thing in a day and a half. He was so kind to our little son, who kept trying to join in the building! He has a great eye for design and completes everything he makes to the highest standard. We are so pleased with the end product and can't wait to paint the doors and show them off!

Rating: 5 / 5

We needed some built in cupboards and floating shelves in an alcove and are absolutely thrilled with Paul's work. He is not only a highly skilled carpenter but also a creative, and his vision and design was far beyond our expectations. We're looking forward to having him back in a few weeks to work on some more areas of the house and have recommended him to all our friends and neighbours. Rare to find someone who also works with such pride and is clean and tidy. Paul is also very friendly (and loves pets - a bonus!) - a real pleasure to have around the house.

Rating: 5 / 5

We needed built in shelves, desk and cupboard. We contacted Paul from Cuddington Carpentry who completely understood what we wanted and then proceeded to make and fit it. Paul is an expert in what he does and is very friendly. We would recommend him for all your carpentry and joinery needs.

Hybrid Carpentry did an amazing job transforming our stairs! Mick replaced the carpet with beautiful oak treads and white risers. The team was professional and detail-oriented. We couldn’t be happier with the results—our stairs look stunning!

Rating: 5 / 5

Michael has helped us to update and transform many rooms in our house, adding much needed storage solutions for the bathroom, washer and dryer cupboard, staircase and alcove cupboards. His attention to detail and problem solving is first class, so much so that we’re already booked in for some fitted wardrobes in 2x rooms.

Rating: 5 / 5

Mick completely transformed our garage into an excellent usable space. We consulted Mick at the outset of the project and he project managed from start to finish including organising separate contractors for plastering and electrics. Mick also provided advice on potential designs for the garage storage and helped with the procurement of products for the storage. Mick is always incredibly responsive, diligent, a perfectionist in his work. He is also incredibly tidy in a workspace! We can’t recommend Mick enough!

I have been working with Mick on the renovation of my property for over a year and he has carried out many projects including panelling in my daughter’s bedroom and alcove cupboards and floating shelves in a playroom. However, Mick’s assistance in transforming our hallway deserves a review on its own! After being badly let down by a local building company, Mick came in and helped us create the hallway of dreams! We consulted with Mick about how best to create the hallway we wanted and worked together to create designs and source products. Mick completed a new hallway cabinet and matching shoe cupboard, panelling, picture rail, skirting boards and internal doors. The results are outstanding and has completely transformed our hallway. Mick is incredibly talented as well as a true professional and we have already recommended him to all of our local friends.
