The Best Carpenters in Dorking, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

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!!

Really pleased with the results! The attention to detail and professionalism is what you look for in a tradesman, Ollie & Kai are a great team! Thank you for all your hard work; I’m already thinking or the next project!

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

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).

We've used SM Carpentry for a number of jobs and most recently a new front door installation with draft excluder and fitting a kitchen with a new boiler cupboard. The job he's done was fantastic. He goes above and beyond and never cuts corners. Would 100% recommend and will continue to use for future jobs.

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

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.

Excellent craftsmanship by Luke in repairing garage door and fitting new windowsills. Luke is polite and professional in his communication & takes care to work tidily.

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!

Brilliant service provided by Tom from A24 Property Maintenance. He removed an old shower enclosure and installed a new one for us and I can thoroughly recommend him. The job was carried out cleanly and professionally. I would definitely use A24 for any further work.

If there is something in your home that you've always wanted to have done, but you're waiting to find the right person to do it, well you've just struck gold by finding Tom at A24 Property Maintenance in Dorking. His skills as a craftsman are first class from bespoke carpentry to more heavy duty foundation work in the garden. A recent example of his excellence and high standards are on show every day in our house: Tom built a dividing wall to screen off our lounge. It is inch-perfect, seamless and has made the downstairs space work so much better in a busy house. Tom is courteous and mindful of you and your home when he is there. He is reliable and a good communicator about the work that he is doing for you. He is tidy, too. Lastly, you know when Tom has done some work on your home: it's perfect and has the hallmark of a craftsman who takes pride in his work. Can't recommend A24 Property Maintenance enough: First Class.

Tom at A24 Property Maintenance is my go-to for any small to large work at my place. Fantastic, meticulous, perfect work every time. Great enthusiasm and impressive skills in every job. Lots of care and patience as if improving/working on his own home! I have recommended to family and friends whenever they need any of the jobs Tom offers which include a wide range under his talents and skills. Don't look anywhere else, this is your guy!

Tom has provided the highest levels of customer service and professionalism, being punctual, responsive, tidy, respectful of us and our home, not to mention being knowledgeable, highly skilled, dependable and carrying the work out to a high standard. He also recommended a plasterer who we were similarly pleased with. We have a few more jobs booked in with Tom, and we won’t be looking elsewhere for help with future works. Thank you Tom! Works completed: Curtain poles Shelves Filling holes Knocking out built in cupboard and making good (re routing plumbing) New door architrave Light fittings Just updating this review to say that we have had the most immaculate bathroom installed by Tom, his attention to detail is second to none, and he is patient and considerate to make sure everything looks just right!

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.

Very friendly professional excellent outcome

Superb job by Richard and the team on my garden transformation! Professional from start to finish and a pleasure to have around during the course of the works. Couldn’t recommend them enough. Photos showing before and after; Richard has made my garden much more usable, safe and above all beautiful!

Richard and his team were great when we called them up to repair some rotting timbers on our 400yr old cottage! They took everything on their stride and kept us informed every step. They were clean and tidy, and completed the job on time and budget. Richard also returned at short notice a few weeks later when we found another very rotten timber. All work was carried out to an exceptional standard and blends in with the original wall perfectly. Highly recommended, and worth waiting for.

Excellent service and work from the team to create bespoke carpentry for my laundry area. Great communication from the start and throughout the project. The team were thoughtful and meticulous with the design and build and I’m really pleased with the quality and finish. Would certainly recommend.

Richard and his team were an absolute joy to work with - friendly, professional, and skilled. We are so happy with our new pergola, it is exactly what we wanted - thanks Barnwood Carpentry!

Craig and Ben have just fitted our new kitchen, and we are delighted with it. They are a professional, tidy, polite, hard-working team, and they use only the best tradesmen to work alongside them. The work was completed in less than 2 weeks, and was done at the original quoted cost. Cannot recommend Howard and Sturt highly enough. Thank you!!👍

Ben and Craig have just completely refurbished our kitchen and it looks amazing. They tick all the boxes that you could want ticked when looking for building professionals. They are considerate, tidy and their eye for detail is brilliant with nothing seeming to be too much trouble. If you are looking for a lovely couple of guys to complete work well then these are the ones for you. Thanks so much..... awesome job.

Ben & Craig from Howard and Sturt make a brilliant team - efficient, hard working, tidy and professional. Any other trades people involved in the project have also delivered the same high standards. They have done a superb job fitting our new kitchen as well as carrying out some work in the garden (which included decking and creating a bench) and we are delighted with both. They offer very competitive prices without compromising on standard and have delivered excellent attention to detail throughout. We would highly recommend them and are already planning our next project for them...!

Ben and Craig undertook the development work of converting two of our farm buildings into a shop and butchery and installed a new toilet and shower block for our campsite. This was a large development project; 4 months in duration, with ambitious deadlines. With our limited knowledge and experience of undertaking such a project, Ben and Craig were integral to the planning process and ensuring that our ideas translated into something that would work in practice. Ben and Craig dealt with all of the challenges of our old buildings without fuss or difficulty. In fact there was a plentiful supply of constructive ideas to deal with any issues arising, cost effectiveness and future proofing the development. At every stage of our project Ben and Craig’s communication was timely and showed consideration for pressures on our own time. They took on most of the liaising with the building control inspector and were proactive in working with the company that undertook the ground works. Something that was of great value to us was the planning and consideration shown by Ben and Craig to allow us to continue to run our business at our busiest time of year: as well as working around other activities that were happening on the farm. The work that Ben and Craig have done is a key part of the future success of our business and so far our customer feedback has been excellent. We cannot recommend them highly enough; yes they are busy, but they go out of their way to ensure an all round top class job; before, during and after the project.

Highly recommend Elite Carpentry Services. Extremely professional and reliable. We are over the moon with our new media wall unit. Thank you Miles!

Clean, friendly, lots to do

Lots to do

Excellent

Rafal repaired my dining room chairs which were failing at the joints. His work was wholly satisfactory, on quality, price and promptness.

Outside the house, Rafal made and installed 2 doors with framework. The doors and frameworks are sturdy, secure and fit well. Rafal is pleasant and friendly and cleared up well afterwards. His standard of work is high and we would be pleased to use him again.

Excellent work. Very thorough, diligent and conscientious. Practical advice always given. Really pleased with results. We have a world class bathroom for an every day price - fitted with care and precision. Excellent value for money! Highly recommend!
