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

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 .

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.

We got in touch with Martin after a kitchen unit fell off our wall. He was prompt and professional, coming to fix our issue within a matter of days. Didn’t over charge and a nice guy.

Really pleased with the installation & finish for my new kitchen. Martin was able to work quickly, following the guidelines using his own expertise.

It's always a little scary trying to find a person for a big job. And honestly. Im absolutely over the moon with what PC kitchens have given us. The service was outstanding. Extremely fair on pricing. Punctual, well mannered. Everything was explained thoroughly before hand, we went through all the pricing etc there wasn't any nasty surprises at the end. And now we have a gorgeous kitchen! (If I can edit this later, I will add pictures. They speak for themselves) Highly recommended!

Simply the best. Martin is professional, friendly, trustworthy and efficient. He manages projects start to finish with ease. Nothing seems to phase him, including my grumpy dog! He understood my vision for the kitchen and then helped to add practicality to it. I had a budget and he ensured we stuck to it offering insight on how and where to get better prices. Any extra trade he needed are all polite and respectful. I would 100% recommend Martin for any project. My new kitchen is better than I’d hoped and a lot of that is down to the extras he suggested. Thank you.

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.

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 of fitting MDF skirtings and architraves in my newly plastered living room. He arrived on time, is very professional, and the work is to a very high standard. He even fixed a couple of sticking doors for me while he was here. Highly recommend, and will be asking him to do more work for me in the near future.

Ian made and installed a beautiful bespoke bookcase, the end result is just as I imagined, his attention to detail is second to none, very clean and tidy worker too, easy to communicate with and very punctual and trustworthy. Would highly recommend! (Thankyou Ian for all your hard work).

Flooring, doors architrave and stud walling. Very happy, very professional and friendly service was provided. The whole process was quick and painless- contacted the company by email, got a quote, arranged a visit, set a date for the work. Done. Was pleased with the price as well which was worth every penny for the quality of the work. I already had a few wows from friends and neighbours. Would recommend this company

I got Unique Carpentry out for a small job in my house. They delivered a great service and was very reliable. They were very professional, cleaned up after themselves, and did a overall great job, I would recommend them and use them again.

Contacted them for what at first was a relatively small job, got a message with an eta 30 mins before hand as promised, came did the job, and i was so impressed got them to quote for more work, was impressed with how the team preformed. look forward to the future works, sure there will be lodes more,. Thank you.

Lovely set of lads. There eye for detail was Superb. High standard finish. Would definitely use again

Ryan did our media wall, absolutely professional workmanship. Also laid laminate flooring and new skirting boards Kept me informed all the way Definitely recommend the company and would use them again 😊

I can’t praise the workmanship enough, from the media wall and glass doors, the job was quality. It’s transformed our living room and given it a whole new look. Some contractors do the job and don’t come back. Ryan was always on hand for any snagging that might have occurred. I’m so glad I went ahead with the work, and I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a quality job.

We've used Ryan for several bespoke projects both inside & out in our new house and all jobs have been completed to a fantastic standard. Attention to detail is spot on. Highly recommend!

A huge thanks to Broadhead joinery, who fitted our kitchen. Ryan worked with us from the start, looking at our plans and advising us throughout the whole process, as well as coming up with solutions when required. Having a new kitchen fitted is a big job and we couldn’t have done it without Ryan’s support, knowledge and experience. We are delighted with the outcome and highly recommend Broadhead joinery.

Fantastic experience. Really thorough assessment when they visited the house and took plenty of time to discuss options with us in the showroom. The products are excellent quality and look great. Thanks to Formosa's guidance, the design of the bathroom is also really logical and works well. Highly recommend

En-suite - Fantastic service from design to high spec finish. Gavin was very helpful and patient through design process. Alex who fitted the bathroom was very thorough. He made sure everything was just right. Defo recommend them. Am very happy.

Very pleased with our new shower room. The fitter, Richard was very professional and a perfectionist. He arrived every morning at 8 and cleared up at the end of each day. I would recommend Formosa Bathrooms and Kitchens to anyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a fantastic company! I can't recommend Formosa highly enough. From the initial inspection visit, through the design process, to the installation, everything was top class. The showroom visits with Gavin to review and finalize the designs were an impressive customer experience. And this was matched by the installation. Our fitter, Richard, was phenomenal. Their attention to detail and work ethic was something else. Every step of the process was meticulously planned and executed, and the attention to detail was spot on. We couldn't be happier with our new bathroom and WC. 5* and highly recommended.

I am absolutely delighted with the work of PWD Joinery completed in my home. The quality of craftsmanship is outstanding, and every detail was finished to perfection. He was professional, punctual, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. It’s clear that he takes great pride in his work, and the results exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for skilled and reliable joinery services!

Beautiful curved top painted wood front door , no details too much trouble, to provide an absolutely gorgeous result.

I've had a few bespoke bits made. Fantastic team always ready to help. Professional really know there stuff highly recommend. Keep up the good work guys

Brilliant workmanship. Always does a great job. No messing about just gets on with the job. Thank u so much

We had Simon to fit us some new wooden flooring. Excellent craftsmanship, great attitude and just a nice person. The end result is very good and we are very pleased. Wardrobes next 😃

I have just had 4 internal doors done and takes high quality in is work and finish thank you pineridge joinery highly recommended

Simon’s workmanship is astounding. I had some cupboards fitted, along with a worktop and sink. He boxed in my boiler making a cupboard with a door. He was always bang on time, worked hard and cleared away when done. He’s very reasonably priced and I’m over the moon with the work he did. If you want someone you can trust, who knows what they are doing, then Simon is the right person for your job.
