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

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 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.

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’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!

Neat job, Quick and reliable

Jov did a great couple of days work installing some skirting boards and fitting a door. He also installed a cat flap and bike holder which I had been trying and failing to do myself. He is personable and reliable, and does a great job. Will be booking his services again!

Came and fitted 3 internal doors he Turned up on time and got straight on with it. Very professional. After he had done he cleaned all the mess up. Highly recommended.

Jacob was absolutely outstanding. Hard worker committed to his role in building our bedroom wardrobes. Highly recommend him to anyone who needs woodwork doing,our bedroom is amazing.thanks Jacob

I had two doors supplied and fitted by Jake, he did a fantastic job and price, would highly recommend hence the 5 stars.

We recently had the pleasure of having Jake fit five internal doors. From the very first interaction, Jake demonstrated excellent communication, ensured alternatives were in place so shaving the doors wouldn't make a mess internally and provided us with a fair rate. He was punctual, sticking to the agreed-upon schedule, and showed great dedication once he started the job. Jake's professionalism was evident as he carried out his work efficiently, displaying impressive skills in joinery. He took the time to offer valuable aftercare advice. Very pleased to have found that Jake was conscientious about leaving the place in the same condition as when he arrived. Overall, satisfied with Jake's work and gladly recommend him to anyone in need of joinery and carpentry services.

Ben has completed a wonderful job of our living room cupboards. Attentive, keen to get the job done to all our requirements, to a great standard. Very reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend 👌. Thanks Ben

Top notch joinery work. At a fair price. Would 100% recommend to anyone

Ben was great from start to finish, very profession and very punctual. No messing around, straight forward great price. Always on time and will certainly be using him again. Cheers Ben 👍

Ben was efficient and provided an excellent joinery service he came the same day I called him and quickly sorted a bedroom door & six cupboard doors that would not close due to new carpet just been fitted. His prices are very reasonable too and would highly recommend him .

Jake fitted some panelling in our lounge and a picture rail in our bedroom. He drew some mock ups for us beforehand and gave us some options to choose from. The work he did was absolutely spot on we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Added a really smart look to both the lounge & bedroom. Would 100% recommend to anyone!

Jake replaced our old inner window boards that had become extremely water damaged as well as adding new framework. He advised us on the best options and our windows now look amazing again! I was surprised at how quickly the work was done! Extremely quick and efficient but making sure the work is complete to the highest standard! I would recommend and definitely use Jake again for any other work we need doing. Thanks again Jake!

Dear Saf, I wanted to provide some feedback on the work you recently completed for me. Overall, I am very satisfied with the final product. The bookcases you built are sturdy, well-constructed, and look great in my home office. Your attention to detail really shows in the quality of your carpentry. In particular, I appreciated that you took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and took care to match the style and wood stain to my existing furniture. The finished bookcases fit perfectly into the space and provide ample storage, just as I had hoped. Throughout the project, you were communicative, reliable, and completed the work on schedule. I felt confident that you knew what you were doing and didn't need much direction from me, which I appreciated. Your professionalism and courteous manner made the experience very positive. Thank you again for your hard work and craftsmanship. I will certainly be hiring you again for future carpentry projects and will recommend you highly to friends and family needing similar services. Feel free to use me as a reference anytime. Regards, Mr Sheikh

Had some wardrobes and bedroom furniture mate. Absolutely fantastic quality, excellent value for money and even got them delivered a few days ahead of schedule. 10/10 would definitely use again and recommend to others

Saf is an amazing wood worker. He is able to make custom pieces ranging from bespoke furniture to intricate designs for Mosques. Been fortunate enough to see some of his pieces come to life. I would definitely recommend him for projects :) thanks Saf

Can't fault the service from start to finish. Punctual, great value for money and did a great job! I asked for a few specific items which saf was able to cater for. Other companies couldn't offer what I was after. Definitely be using Saf again for my next project!

Dan was super professional and made sure our staircase not only looked good but was sturdy and safe. We are incredibly happy with the results and would highly recommend!! Thanks Dan ☺️

Dan did a brilliant job of making & installing alcove cupboards and shelves, we are so pleased with his work! He was personable and polite and his quote was very reasonable. Thank you Dan 😊

Dan did such a fantastic job in our lounge, building us 2 beautiful alcove cupboards, 4 floating shelves and a superb fireplace surround and mantelpiece all in solid oak. We were so impressed that we also got him to make a bespoke unit for our vinyl and turntable.. Throughout the whole process, including navigating the covid lockdown, Dan gave us great ideas and guidance but really listened to what we wanted. He turned up when he said he would. He finished on time and was very competitively and fairly priced. Dan is also just a very nice guy who you feel confident about leaving in your house. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dan to any friends or family and cannot praise the quality and finish of his work highly enough.

Dan did an incredible job installing our understairs shoe storage and bar—10 out of 10! His attention to detail was second to none, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He even got on well with our cat, who constantly tried to "help" by getting in the way! After we painted the cupboards, Dan kindly popped back to fit the handles, which was much appreciated. We had five quotes for this job, and Dan delivered twice the work for half the price. Highly recommend!

Tony fitted our kitchen a couple months ago and it's still my favourite room in the house. What we thought was a quick switcheroo when we bought our new home turned out to be a lot more work than planned. I am honestly still amazed at how much Tony did and how near and tidy his workmanship (especially considering he was flying solo). Forever grateful to New Creation Joinery, if you're looking for a fitter who will do the work well and want the room to turn out as you imagined then you know who to call. Thanks again. (Will share photos of the left side knee I've done the dishes 😀)

Excellent joinery - Tony built a toy storage book nook under our stairs, a bespoke fitted wardrobe and 3 floating shelves. The service was excellent, he created unique beautiful pieces with skill (especially in our uneven cottage) and he assembled and fitted them in just a few days. Friendly, professional. Neat and clean. Highly recommended.

We are absolutely over the moon with Tony's work. Professional from start to finish , friendly service and a competitive quote. The work was done to a very high standard and in a timely fashion. We absolutely could not have wished for anything more. Will definitely be using Tony again. 100% recommend.

The quality of workmanship was excellent,. Tony found ways around some tricky issues relating to the construction of my walls. I am really pleased with my built-in wardrobes and pantry shelves. I would highly recommend him.

Fantastic service, workmanship & craft. The new wardrobes are amazing, so well built with great quality materials. We’re writing this knowing that it’ll extend the waiting list!

Ben and his team are brilliant - from helping design all the way to installation. We will definitely use them again in the future!

Ben built us a large bespoke utility cupboard with an adjoining dresser unit, made to match the style and colour of our existing kitchen units. He discussed our requirements, made suggestions, produced diagrams and worked around our builders. We have been very impressed with the quality of work. The soft-close drawers and shelves take a substantial weight of china and bottles! I would definitely recommend Ben and hope to use him again for other projects in the future.

Ben created exactly what we needed and the finished product looked great. Very pleased with the output. He and his colleague were very professional, and listened to our requests. I would definitely recommend him to others looking for bespoke wardrobes.

I wanted to replace my modern UPVC door with one more in keeping with my house. Adam helped me find an original door in the right size, then cut it to fit, sorted out locks and door furniture, made a frame and installed it for me. It's perfect and I couldn't be more thrilled. He's a joy to have around.

We wanted a bespoke banquette for our dining area and Adam did an amazing job of designing, building and fitting it. He worked with us to put the design together but put his own unIque spin into the details of the banquette. He is very skilled at what he does and we are very happy with the final piece.

Amazing work on our full wall fitted shelves from start to finish, Adam helped us with design and did all the hard work on this great build and installation. We're so happy with the results. The detail such as the soft close doors and the moveable shelves as well as the lights make all the difference. Already thinking about our next Boy on Branch project. Would recommend.

Adam is first class when it comes to bespoke woodwork. We could not rate his approach and professionalism more highly. Whatever your vision, he not only has the skill to perfectly understand it, but to also offer sensible suggestions based on his wealth of experience that results in a finished product that brings your ideas to life perfectly. Patient with evolving concepts and sympathetic to the desired aesthetic, we're delighted with every aspect of the work Adam has done for us. The final finish is immaculate!
