  A knowledgeable Tradesman

  ARA did a great job removing our structural wall and plastering around a beam. Tidy workers and efficient communication. I highly recommend them to others, and will certainly be contacting again for future works

  Fully recommended

  Posted 16 December 2025

  Outstanding experience with ARA Carpentry & Building. Great communication from initial enquiry through to job completion and kept fully abreast with the project as it developed. All work finished to a very high standard, left neat and tidy with any mess cleared away. Alan's highly personable chap to have around and completely trustworthy. Will be first point of call for works moving forward, very pleased.

  I have a fantastic new porch!

  Posted 30 October 2025

  This is the third project Alan has completed for me and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result! I had an awful old porch which he demolished and has now built a fab new brick one. He also had the roofer, plumber and electrician well organised to do their bit when required too. The work also entailed removing ann inner concrete steps, putting in a new concrete floor and expert moving of gas pipes. Alan’s work is to an extremely high standard and he always listens and delivers for the customer. So many of my neighbours have said what an excellent job he has done and I highly recommend him!

  Demolish Old Porch and Build New Porch

  Posted 29 September 2025

  Alan was very polite and professional and provided a very competitive quote to demolish and re-build our front porch. As the project progressed, Alan found very innovative solutions to potential problems and was very keen to make sure we were happy with the work as it progressed. We are already thinking about future projects that we would like Alan to take on. We would like to thank Alan for all his hard work.

  Conversion of a large bedroom into two smaller bedrooms.

  Posted 06 August 2025

  We are so pleased with the work that Alan has carried out on our house. We desperately needed an extra bedroom, and with all the stress and worry we’d put ourselves through thinking we’d have to move was all put to rest, when Alan converted a large bedroom into two. Communication was great throughout and the work was completed ahead of schedule. There was minimal disruption and everything was left very tidy. We’ll definitely use Alan again for any future work and will recommend him to anyone else that needs work doing. Thank you so much!
