Best Carpenters in Buckland, Surrey (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

Toby and his colleague Aaron replaced all of our old internal doors with 13 new oak doors which have transformed the look of our house. Toby was very responsive to questions before the work and was the only provider I asked to quote who responded quickly in fact within 24 hours. He suggested slightly different doors to those I proposed which while of the same quality were slightly cheaper. The work was undertaken in a very professional manner and we are very pleased with the outcome and in fact are considering having further work done by Militao Carpentry. They were happy working round our inquisitive dogs, protected the carpets, cleared up at the end of each day (the work took a week) and were always polite and flexible. I would happily recommend.

Toby designed and fitted some beautiful cupboards for us. We Have been using them for 6 months now, can tell the quality is good- absolutely no problems. Brilliant communication and also allowed us to change the design (from shaker style to a more traditional finish) at last minute which didn’t affect the final quote.

Toby has done further work for us adding hooks mounted on oak to the back of a door. Super job again. Toby did a top job, replacing all our bedroom doors. We're very pleased with the doors and the quality of the work is excellent. We will definitely use Militao again when we need bespoke carpentry completed.

I found Fine Design through a recommendation from a friend and I'm so pleased I did. We had a few problems so it wasn't just a straight forward bathroom replacement, we had water damage and a wall that needed to be removed to get the bath out, Adem and his team delt with it quickly and efficiently. They kept me informed all the way through, I had chosen a sink but when it came I didnt like it, this was no problem, it went back and by the next day I had one I loved. The quality of the bathroom and the work is brilliant and the price was incredibly reasonable against other quotes. I had ordered blinds separately from Fine Designs that didn't arrive while they were doing the job so Adem very kindly came back to fit them for me.

Choosing a building company is a complicated process. We looked for good reputation and crucially people we would feel comfortable working with. Rob and his team fit these criteria extremely well. Rob's mantra is - avoid problems by talking things through. All large projects hit unexpected issues but we felt comfortable with the team's approach which was one of presenting us with solutions not problems.

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.

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.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

Luke has done a lot of work for us.... and there is still quite a bit to do! It is a real pleasure working with him: polite, friendly, helpful, punctual and he always delivers a very high standard quality work. No job is too big or too small, too difficult or too easy, he will simply do it beautifully. John and I really value his help and the excellent work he has done for us. We couldn't have achieved what we have without him! Thank you Luke!

Rating: 5 / 5

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

Carl and the chaps did an excellent job replacing our two front doors, constructing a cabinet for our tumble dryer and a wine rack. The quality of the work is excellent. Carl and his team are friendly and helpful and we will certainly use their services again. We have recommended them to others who have been equally pleased with their work.

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

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

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.

Tom and his guys were superb for us. Great communication and always on top of things. Real professionals but also very personable. We are so pleased with everything Tom has done in our home. Tom has now led the refurbishment of our kitchen, diner, hallway, utility, downstairs shower room, main bedroom, en-suite and family bathroom. There’s never any nonsense and we enjoy having him around. We tried someone else when Tom wasn’t available and got badly burned. We can’t wait to work with him on our next round! Our home was a wreck and thanks to Tom it’s all coming together and we couldn’t be happier! We highly recommend Eastwood Carpentry & Building Ltd.

Rating: 5 / 5

If I were to describe Tom’s approach to my home renovations I would describe him as inclusive, having great communication skills, proactive, (particularly important when as is often the case, a couple of unpredicted issues arose), approachable & open to discussing options when needed & incredibly professional. The standard of work was high & the finish is faultless. My kitchen was not entirely standard off the shelf construction, but was finished beautifully. I would have no hesitation asking Tom to carry out work on my home in the future or recommending him to others. It can be a daunting prospect embarking on a build but I was confident with the choice I made & had no misgivings at any stage. Tom is a gem!!

Rating: 5 / 5

We would highly recommend Tom and his team who did an amazing job on our kitchen project, which included ripping out our old kitchen, laying new flooring through the whole of the downstairs and converting the cupboard under the stairs into a dog house. Tom remained true to his quote and was very reliable and trustworthy. He kept us updated regularly and realistically worked with us on our vision. We have future projects and Tom will be our first port of call.

Rating: 5 / 5

I couldn’t recommend Tom more he was excellent. We are very happy with our kitchen extension. He was Organised reliable tidy and his workmanship and attention to detail were amazing. Definitely wouldn’t be using anyone else if another project comes up. 140

Las completely fixed and restored our wooden bay windows and installed our wooden garage doors. His craftsmanship is excellent plus he got all the jobs finished exactly on time - as he said he would. Really pleased with all the work.

Rating: 5 / 5

We asked Laszlo to repair our windowsill, repaint front of the house and clean pvc. We’d never used him before but decided to after seeing the good reviews. He first came round to visit the house to discuss the plan. I liked his attitude and clarity. He then came back in a few weeks when he was next free. True to his word he took 2 days to complete the job. It was done to a very high quality standard, we’re really pleased with his work. It was also a reasonable price. Very personable and good communication. So satisfying when you find a carpenter / handyman who you can trust. Will definitely use Laszlos services in the future. 5 stars. Thanks!

Rating: 5 / 5

Las has been very helpful and professional! I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a friendly and reliable carpenter. Thanks László for our bespoke doors :)

Rating: 5 / 5

Lazlo did a fantastic job fitting our new kitchen and we are very happy with the result. He was able to finish the job in a very short time, working even in the weekends. His skills and experience were incredibly valuable and we trusted his advice all along the way. We have been using Lazlo on other project and we are definitely planning on using his services for other work on the house.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

“Exceptional Craftsmanship” We engaged Marcio and his father-in-law, Evo, for several home improvement projects, and their work exceeded our expectations. From design to installation, their attention to detail and commitment to quality stood out. Whilst we had a fairly good idea what we wanted to achieve, Marcio provided a practical advice and smart technical solutions. The desk unit in our study seamlessly blends functionality and aesthetics. Shelves and drawers are precisely crafted, enhancing both productivity and the room’s ambiance. In the hallway, the wardrobe they built combines practicality with elegance, providing ample storage while maintaining a sleek profile. The new floor and the skirting boards look stunning - additionally, they resolved an issue with an unlevelled floor in our porch, ensuring safety and stability. Marcio and his team were punctual, communicative, and easy going throughout the process. Their professionalism extended beyond craftsmanship—they genuinely cared about delivering results as if it was their own home. Marcio also recommended a plumber, Nelson, who was equally great to work with. Nelson moved a radiator to make the space for the wardrobe, disconnected a toilet and sink. Marcio’s initial quote was accurate, and he kept us informed of any changes to the cost for the items we added during the works – as you always do! We highly recommend Marcio and Evo services. Their workmanship, reliability, caring and dedication make them an excellent choice for any home improvement project. They transformed our spaces, and we’re grateful for their work.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

I had the pleasure of using Brightbuild solutions limited on the construction porch extension to the front of my house and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From the initial planning stages to the final touches, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to excellence. They were attentive to my needs and preferences, and they worked tirelessly to ensure that the project was completed on time and within budget. The quality of workmanship displayed was exceptional. Their attention to detail, craftsmanship, and dedication to delivering a superior product were evident throughout the entire construction process. The end result exceeded my expectations, and I am thrilled with the outcome. The team was a pleasure to work with. They kept me informed of progress and addressed any concerns or questions promptly. Their approachable and friendly demeanor made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I would not hesitate to engage their services again for future projects.

Brightbuild made a bespoke hardwood front door and frame with an arched top. Excellent workmanship exactly to our specifications. They were on time for appointments and the installation was completed perfectly. They cleaned up after the work - spotless. I would use them again and strongly recommend them.

Rating: 5 / 5

Although choosing a company to do home improvements can be anxiety provoking, I am so very pleased to have chosen Brightbuild Solutions Ltd. Elliot and his team of trades people (Chris, Harvey, Graham and Micky) were not only good at what they do but are reliable, professional, trustworthy, friendly, responsive and easy to communicate with. They delivered on their promises using good quality products and ensured everything was done as had been agreed. Our project required cutting and installing new doorways, windows and a much larger patio door. It also involved erecting and plastering dry walls, levelling and laying flooring. A new bathroom was installed along with new lighting and switches, etc. We can only say a heartfelt thank you to Elliott and his team. We have recommended them to family members and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Needed a custom fit Wardrobe built in my bedroom and a friend recommended Elliott & Harvey who had done a great job for them. Elliott was quick to respond from the offset after I enquired. Building a wardrobe isn’t my field so he gave me numerous options and really listened to what i wanted and worked within my price budget. Elliott was very flexible and managed to squeeze us in before Christmas which we didn’t expect at all. Genuinely felt like he went out his way to get it done for us whilst we were still living out of bags. The Wardrobe itself took Elliott & Harvey just 1 day to build. On the day itself i was away with work but Elliotts communication around what he had done & giving regular updates was second to none. The quality of the Wardrobe and attention to detail with the shelfs, rails and sliding doors is excellent. Also when i returned from work it was like nobody had been in the house all day due to how tidy they had left it. Very professional, top quality work and would definitely recommend. Thank you.
