We got in touch with Toby having followed his work on social media. We had reached the end of a large renovation project and needed some bespoke carpentry items to fit some quirky spaces - fitted ‘open style’ wardrobes in our dresser maximising space, converting a strange shower cupboard in my daughter’s bedroom into some huge storage cupboards (making good the surrounding area), building corner bookshelves in my husband’s study. And creating a storage unit to hide our TV/Console items! On initial meeting, Toby took time to understand our requirements, creating excellent drawings which brought these to life. I got to select the finish in farrow & ball paint to match our rooms, they look fabulous! The products were made and installed with great efficiency. Toby and his team were perfectionists on site and didn’t complete the project until they/us were 100% happy. We would highly recommend his services.

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.

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.

We first employed Neil to build a bespoke storage unit in our utility room. Neil was fantastic. He was great at translating our ideas into paper and worked quickly and efficiently. We were so happy with the work, we asked him to build bespoke wardrobes for our master and second bedroom. He has done a brilliant job and the end product exceeded our expectations. I would definitely recommend Neil.

Rating: 5 / 5

Challenge Neal with any space and he'll make a brilliant unit or cupboard to fit! Highly recommend, especially for shoe storage when it's impossible to find the right unit anywhere else. Reasonably priced, efficient, courteous and very professional. You can't really go wrong!

Neal built and fitted a pair of bespoke shaker wardrobes as part of our house renovation. The workmanship and quality are great, with meticulous attention to detail, i just need to paint them now...

Rating: 5 / 5

Neal made me a long wanted under stairs cupboard and it does everything I wanted - holds 3 sets of golf clubs, 5 people’s shoes, laptops, monitors and printer . We looked at companies that specialise in under stairs cupboards but their modules did not suit our needs. It is totally bespoke and holds everything that was previously all around my hallway behind closed doors! Neal is a very efficient, neat and tidy worker who produced a very high quality product. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for some carpentry or joinery work.

I cannot recommend Oliver Smith Carpentry more highly. He and his team are part of a new generation of professionals - fastidious, careful, super-professional and serious about their work, unquestionably trustworthy, always cleaning up at the end of the day. We just wanted our garage converted into a useable space, what we now have is a fabulous room - thoroughly insulated, fireproof, airy, pleasant and handed over niggle free. It's a pleasure to be in there. All through the process (only 3 weeks) Oliver and his team worked hard, always on time, always calm and responsive to our requests and last-minute changes of mind. I just wish we had more projects for him to do as I'd book him like a shot. (and, truthfully, this is an unbiased review - we did not know Oliver before this job).

Rating: 5 / 5

Really excellent work and good to deal with! Solved the matter of how to deal with an awkward alcove in our new flat, and made a very useful space for large format books. Many thanks

Ollie and team built a great looking, quality, home garden office room/building. Built to a really quality spec that will last a long time, this professional team completed the build on time, and price. Ollie was flexible where I wanted to add some small extras and increase the size a little; a true bespoke build. If you're looking for a home office in Surrey I would genuinely recommend Oliver Smith Carpentry Solutions.

Rating: 5 / 5

Ollie and the team were superb from start to finish. At the beginning we needed some help with the design of our outside office. Ollie was great and sat down and sketched out a few ideas with us. He followed up quickly and stayed in contact on a regular basis, before providing us with a detailed, clear quote shortly after our first meeting. During the build it was great to have him and the team on site, very respectful, professional and all round it was a pleasure. Any decisions/discussions during the build were open and easy, we always felt like we knew our options and the pros & cons of each. The whole project was on time if not early and even came in under budget. The quality of the finished office is excellent, so good in fact we've booked him in for another job already. Thanks again!!

Sean and his team at SL Carpentry have mastered the art of making life easy- they do exactly what they say they are going to do, when they say they are going to do it and at a competitive price. Sean recently fitted a loft hatch in our home which completely transformed the use ability of our loft (and looks great!) Will be using again!

Rating: 5 / 5

Sean is very professional, tidy and pays attention to detail and good finish on his jobs. Very reasonable prices, and very accomodating for urgent smaller jobs. Highly recommend him.

Rating: 5 / 5

I asked sean if he could pop by my house once again as I had a vision but didn’t know if it would work or not. Sean came up with a bespoke design, hand built & completed my fitted storage units to perfection. Would highly recommend and will be using Sean again for future projects.

Rating: 5 / 5

Sean has done a great job designing and updating my staircase. It looks smart and modern and is safer for my little ones. He worked quickly and fitted us in at short notice. I would 100% recommend.

We were so pleased with cabin bed that Giovanni build for us - he captured our requirements perfectly. The build was finished to a high stsndard and was done in the time and budget quoted. I would not hesitate to use Giovanni again for any carpentry needs.

Rating: 5 / 5

Giovanni just fitted my Howdens kitchen which included taking out a wall. He was brilliant. He is incredibly hard working and works to a high quality. Issues were discussed and resolved quickly. Unlike many in this trade he put his customers wants first. We were actually sorry the project was over and had to say goodbye! Thoroughly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

Giovanni did an excellent job for us, including replastering and carpentry. He was very efficient, working quickly and effectively. The standard of finished work was very high and cost extremely reasonable.

Rating: 5 / 5

Giovanni has been helping me with renovation projects for a number of years and has done an excellent job at refreshing interior bathrooms and kitchens at our old place and recently at our new house. He is professional, honest and provides an unbiased opinion on the best solution for the job. Will be using him again in the future !

Matthew has been really supportive and patient as we went through the design process for our bookcase. Visiting his workshop and going through all of the options was really useful and helped us understand exactly what we were after, especially seeing where the work would be done. Now the bookcase has been installed we could not be happier and the quality of the work is excellent. I would whole heartedly recommended Matthew for his carpentry.

Rating: 5 / 5

Matthew's work is impeccable. He has real attention to detail and the end result is beautiful. He's a pleasure to work with - punctual polite and very tidy. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

In writing this review, I believe I will echo the extremely positive position of all Matthew's customers. Matthew engaged with us to design and build custom furniture for a dining-room/study. Throughout our engagement, Matthew's needs analysis, design recommendations and attention to detail were superb. The team worked collaboratively with us throughout the build and installation in a friendly professional manner. We are delighted and cannot recommend Matthew and his team enough.

Rating: 5 / 5

Matthew and his team designed our master bedroom and dressing room wardrobes. From the initial meeting with Matthew at his workshop, to the completion, the whole team have been professional, timely, efficient and friendly. The process has been very smooth with information regarding installation dates being communicated frequently. Upon completion of the wardrobes, we decided that we needed an understair cupboard and Matthew obliged! All of the furniture looks very in keeping with our cottage, is of excellent quality and finish. We cannot recommend Matthew Roberts Carpentry highly enough.

Chris's team responded quickly and had two new bathroom ceilings installed with no bother at all. Nice guys, helpful, polite and tidy. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 / 5

It's a 5* review because CC&M were quick to pick up through Checkatrade app, excellent clear comms and everything was completed to a high standard of finish. Additionally it was a pleasure to have them in my house. I'm grateful for hard work, problem solving and professionalism. Very highly recommended and I would work with CC&M again.

Rating: 5 / 5

CCM were employed to carry out extensive refurbishment of three toilets for a school. The work has been carried out to a very high standard. Great communication. Polite, professional, tidy. Would use again and highly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

Chris was very prompt in his initial reply to my enquiry. Had a couple of quotes and went with Chris mainly because unlike the 2 carpenters that quoted and could only do the woodwork, his team took on the whole project including woodwork, plastering and electrics (which were sub contracted) but meant i didn’t have to deal with multiple trades/people or issues with fitting them in around each other. Rich and Michael came to do the work, both were polite, professional, kept things as tidy as possible taking a wall down under the stairs and custom building cupboards, drawers, wine rack, shelves and space for fridge as requested. Very pleased with end result.

We first met Josh back in September 2023 when we were seeking quotes for a single storey kitchen extension We found Josh to be very friendly and knowledgeable, and we immediatly got the impression he was honest and trustworthy, and we were not wrong! Josh's quotes were very detailed, giving a clear breakdown of all the work and its associated costs, and right from the start we knew exactly what we were getting for our money. One the day work started we were appointed a Project Manager who was very friendly and helpful. A WhatsApp page was setup which proved to be very useful for the times when it was not possible to talk face to face. We always received friendly, helpful and quick responses to our many requests and questions. As the build progressed we quickly realised that we were deaing with a very professional team. All of the work was carried out to a very high standard, and we were constantly amazed at how hard the team worked. Having been very impressed with the standard of work on the extension, we expanded the scope to include a kitchen installation, new patio and numerous other improvements, all of which were carried out to the same high standard of workmanship and professionalism. We are still amazed at the transformation to our house, and we are very grateful to Josh and his team for helping us achieve such a great result. We certainly would highly recommend Josh to anyone considering any type of building work.

Rating: 5 / 5

We are thrilled with our new space. Josh was brilliant from start to finish. He gave us so much time at tender and was very patient with all our questions. The whole team were a pleasure to have around. Building projects are not an easy process but they all worked around us and our dog with respect. It was really appreciated. We hit a few obstacles but the team are problem solvers rather than problem makers. They helped us work through any issues we faced. Would recommend Josh and his team to anyone. Honest, respectful builders are rare. Thank You

Rating: 5 / 5

Really, really good experience with Josh. He was honest from start to finish. It’s not often I feel I can put my full trust in someone. I was so happy with the quality of the work I had done.

Rating: 5 / 5

Josh and team completed a large kitchen / dining room conversion project for us. Work was completed perfectly, on time, on budget and Josh remained on call for any minor snagging for months after having finished - not that there were many things but he made sure everything was working as expected and as it should be. Really first class service. Highly recommended indeed. Photos of kitchen attached.

Martin provided a quote for installing a new kitchen furniture and appliances and then delivered all aspects of the job including and scheduling plumbing, fixing walls and electric installation. Everyone working was polite, helpful and working hard to keep agreed work schedule. Nothing was too difficult too much effort and the site was left clean at the end of every working day. The final invoice was accurate and reflecting the initial quote. I have the kitchen I always wanted , they did amazing job, thank you.

Rating: 5 / 5

Martin recently fitted 7 internal doors for us. We would recommend him as he did a fantastic job. Great communication and work was a very high standard. Very punctual and reasonably priced and left no mess. Would not hesitate to use his services in the future.

Rating: 5 / 5

We have engaged MS Joinery on two occasions. Martin designed and built a shaker style fitted window seat with full height cupboards either side in the enhance hall of our listed cottage. The installation really makes an impression when people arrive at our home. Our new kitchen also looks fantastic with oak work tops fitted around curved corner units and an inset Belfast sink. Martin was punctual and the advice he gave was excellent. You know a tradesman really cares about his customers home when you see how well he clears up. I would have absolutely no qualms in recommending MS Joinery for custom timber installations. Thank you Martin!

Rating: 5 / 5

Martin and the team supporting him did an excellent job in removing our old kitchen and replacing it with a new one which they built and fitted. Martin was extremely helpful and professional. He was skillful in his joinery and very responsive to our requests as well as the challenges presented by the uneven walls and floors. As well as excellent quality, we are confident that Martin gave us a very reasonable quote for the work and we are happy to confirm he worked to that initial quote. We wouldn’t hesitate to commission more work from him or recommend him to others.

From start to finish Elliot and Harvey were incredible! Cant recommend them enough and would 100% use them again. They are extremely efficient and hard working, especially to get the kitchen done in a short time span. Just really lovely guys to have around and helped when we had problems with the kitchen company we ordered from too. If you need help theses are your guys!

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.

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.

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.
