We've been struggling off and on for a few years with coving that runs above some shelving either side of a chimney breast and eventually one section fell off completely. So we decided we had to resolve this once and for all, we'd seen some potential options online and started looking around for a suitable trade person to solve this problem. We eventually found Carl at Cookridge Carpentry and his response was prompt and positive. Following a couple of 'false starts' we finally hit on a solution that we could proceed with when he provided a rough dummy. Carl turned up when he said he would and grafted really hard to make sure we reached the result we were looking for. His work was very clean and tidy with little mess, which was surprising. He also spent plenty of time cleaning up after himself on both days. Both local and quality result... winner! We would have no hesitation in recommending Cookridge Carpentry for appropriate work, very professional throughout.

We could not be any happier with the service and products (bespoke bench tops and fitting) from Carl. After being let down badly by another firm Carl came in a rectified a bad situation with professionalism, speed and high quality. We would highly recommend and will be asking him to do any future projects we may have.

We had a custom shelving unit and coffee table made, as we loved the pieces we’d seen on instagram and really liked the idea of using reclaimed wood. Great communication the whole way through, and beautiful furniture! So happy with everything, would highly recommend.

I recently had a bespoke TV stand and record player unit made by Cookridge Carpentry, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, Carl was incredibly professional and easy to work with. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and the furniture fetches plenty of compliments from guests. I highly recommend Cookridge Carpentry to anyone looking for custom, high-quality pieces.

We’ve had two bookshelves made by Carl - one a few years ago and the other a few weeks ago. Amazing work and really great service. We will definitely be using him in the future for other custom pieces!
