The Best Carpenters in East Ardsley, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Dale stepped in at the last minute just before Christmas. We had been let down by another local firm. He fitted a kitchen unit for us and did a fabulous job. We're very happy and hoping to have him back soon to carry out more work. Thank you so much 🙂

Highly recommended and appreciated. Dale fitted 15 doors and ensured disruption was kept to a minimum. He kept his working area spotless and us fully informed on how work was progressing. We are highly delighted with our new doors and will be recommending DP Joinery to our friends and family.

I contacted Dale to design and build a bespoke shoe rack to go under a stair case. The quality of his workmanship is outstanding and he took a great deal of care at my home when fitting it. Dale is also completely transparent with his pricing which is very fair considering the top class product and service that he provides. His communication is also very good and he kept me informed throughout the whole process. I would strongly recommend Dale for any projects that you may be considering. I will certainly be calling on Dale for any future joinery or carpentry work.

Excellent joiner, I'm so happy with the work Dale has done for me using his quality skills, I've had panels fitted in my hallway and new internal oak doors fitted through out my house, his standards and workmanship is very professional and a pleasure to have working in my house, highly recommend this guy, so professional and friendly and polite and respectful to my home. I can not rate this guy enough, genuine, craftsman who takes pride in his work, that benefits my house . Thank you D P Joinery, definitely use again

We are very pleased with our staircase renovation completed recently by Richard. From the start, we were given different options and costs for the project. We had a very creaky staircase which was fixed, then oak cladding fitted alongside new oak treads, spindles and handrails. The work was completed to a very high standard and the finished staircase looks amazing. Richard even came back to add an additional top tread. We would definitely recommend Richard.

RJ Joinery Review February 2024 & July 2024 Integral Wall Cabinet - July 2024 Having been delighted with Richard's upgrade of our staircase, we commissioned him to create an inbuilt wall unit in our lounge as part of the refurbishment programme. Needless to say the finished oak unit is a masterpiece of design and craftmanship at an extremely competitive price. As you can see from the attached photographs it has become the centrepiece of the new lounge and has met with rapturous approval from everyone who's visited. Thanks also go to Paul Wardman our electrician who oversaw a total rewire in the lounge and installed the LED lighting in the unit. Paul is a brilliant electrician, very professional, friendly and competitive. He has overseen all our electrical work since 2009! Thanks Paul Finally, thanks once again Richard for an exemplary service, and a feature that will always remind us of your outstanding craftsmanship! Staircase - February 2024 We recently decided we needed to upgrade our very tired staircase. We invited quotes from a variety of specialists across the UK and were staggered at the ridiculous cost for a maximum of 3 days’ work i.e. Neville Johnson £8,500! We had all but given up, but a chance conversation with some close friends suggested we visit, and look at their recent stair renovation, undertaken by Richard of RJ Joinery, Wakefield. Witnessing his craftmanship, alongside a glowing reference, we invited Richard to visit us and supply a quote. We met Richard a few days later, just before Christmas 2023, and were extremely impressed. All existing newel posts, caps, handrail, and supports were to be removed and replaced with genuine oiled oak, unlike a number of 'specialists' who were simply going to clad the existing 47-year-old inadequate staircase. In addition, the open stringer would be replaced with oiled oak veneer ply. Whilst the closed stringers would be clad with oiled oak veneer ply. Furthermore, to add a contemporary feel to the finished article, we decided to install glass panel infills with brushed steel clamps. Finally, the treads and risers would be repaired, and put an end to the squeaky ascent to the first floor! Richard had a busy schedule and confirmed he could start work at the beginning of February 2024, once our pre-arranged redecoration had concluded at the end of January 2024. His quote promptly arrived, and we were delighted to engage a true craftsman at a highly competitive price, and a fraction of what Neville Johnson had quoted! Richard is a perfectionist, thoroughly professional, diligent, punctual, and extremely polite - he loved our fresh coffee! Each day he arrived by 08:15 and left a clean and tidy house on his departure. The whole project was completed in 2.5 days, which is highly impressive. We cannot speak highly enough of Richard, and the results speak for themselves. The outstanding quality of finish and attention to detail went well beyond our expectations. The attached photos show the project from start to completion. Thank you Richard for delivering a first-class design and renovation on budget and within the agreed schedule! We have no hesitation in highly recommending RJ Joinery for your staircase renovation. You will not be disappointed! Stuart & Karen Cousins

We found Richard a conscientious and skilled carpenter. The staircase was just what we imagined and the cupboard under the staircase was much more than we imagined. It's the little details that make the difference, instead of having an off-the-shelf cupboard handle, Richard made us a wooden one. We would certainly recommend him.

Richard quoted for a staircase refurbishment, changing from a white spindle staircase to oak and glass . His quote was very competitive, he turned up when he said he would and was very professional, trustworthy and a very good craftsman.. I would have no hesitation to use his services again and would recommend him to anyone .

I can highly recommend Ian. He completed a number of jobs for me, including laying laminate flooring, fitting skirting boards, architrave, a door casing and a new internal door. The work was completed to a very high standard, and Ian clearly takes pride in his work. Communication was great, and he was polite and friendly throughout. Would definitely hire Ian for any future joinery work required.

Ian did a fantastic job on fitting my worktop and new sink. He also created a cupboard to hide my boiler and the unsightly pipes. Cupboard has now been painted to match the kitchen units. I am so pleased with it and the attention given. Ian is meticulous.

Ian did a cracking job for us installing some cupboards, worktop, and shelving in our utility room, as well as fitting some shelving in our sitting room. Friendly service, clean and tidy and been really impressed with the workmanship. Would highly recommend

Ian came to add a cosmetic finish to the joint between a tile and oak floor. He is very professional, protects your property, and keeps you well-informed. He is a meticulous worker who takes pride in his work and makes sure the customer is fully happy with the result. I will definitely use Ian again for any other jobs in the house that require a skilled joiner.
