    A very good and conscientious carpenter

    Posted 01 March

    Andrew came to our property and measured up and quoted for panelling frame features in our dining room. He marked up all the lines and positioning of the frames so we could see how it would look using his laser system. We have had the work done and it has transformed the room completely. He is very conscientious and gets on with the work in a very professional way. I would highly recommend Andrew to anybody who was looking at having work done in their property.

    Floorboards, door frames, door fitting, architraves and skirting

    Posted 19 December 2025

    Andrew has been helping us renovate our house for a couple of months and he has done an amazing job! He has really changed the look of the house and his perfectionism has really worked in our favour! There were so many problems with the house and he took each problem in his stride and helped us find the most affordable option. he's a genuine and nice person to be around and we absolutely trusted him in our house for months. We are 100% going to contact him again and would highly recommend.

    Media Wall

    Posted 15 September 2025

    Andrew listened to what we wanted and worked with us to design and build a beautiful media wall. He is thoroughly professional in his approach to work and is meticulous in everything he does. He’s a pleasure to have working in the house and is cheerful, friendly and very neat and tidy. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him based on our experience of his workmanship. Great job!

    Excellent, reliable carpenter

    Posted 10 September 2025

    This was our fourth job for Andrew in the last 12 months, he came to lay a new nova-core floor in our hallway and cloakroom together with new skirting and architrave. There's a good reason to continue using Andrew, his workmanship is excellent, he cares about providing an excellent service and he is reliable and honest - all the qualities you really need from a tradesman entering your home. We are totally satisfied with his work and would obviously recommend him to anyone needing carpentry services in the area.
