    Great service and craftsmanship

    Posted 12 March

    This was the first time we’ve used Absoloute Carpentry and they were amazing. We can’t recommend them too highly. They replied to our initial email very promptly and within a few days the work had been agreed and a date set. They turned up early and worked all the way through. Each item was checked with us before work started and then again afterwards. They were very tidy, clearing up as they went and taking all the waste away at the end. We now have doors that shut; a new under-stairs area with shelving, two compartments and lighting plus wooden panelling in the porch.

    Absolutely brilliant craftsmanship

    Posted 25 February

    Darren was brilliant throughout, after requesting a quote he responded very quickly then his price was incredibly competitive. On the day of the work he arrived early and cracked on from the moment he walked through the door. His craftsmanship and attention to detail is nothing beyond brilliant. His trade and skill are second to none and I would recommend him to any.

I am a multi trade craftsman with 30 years experience across all parts of construction work.

I pride myself on performing my trade at the highest levels across many disciplines of work to make improvements to your home to your wishes.

I also worked for Hammonds for 5 years specialising in fitted furniture both bedroom & office


I believe that all my work should be done to the highest standards, whether it's creation of new bedroom furniture or replacement fixtures such as loft extensions or new kitchens.or With this aim in mind I start by having a consultation with each prospective customer so that I can accurately gauge their expectations, desired finished details, timeframe and budget. This allows me to advise each customer of the best course of action based on their particular needs and helps me to achieve high rates of customer satisfaction for my clientele.

I treat your home as if it was my own which puts me in the best frame of mind to give you the very best
