James was incredible, he worked at pace and went above and beyond to get the work done on time. The work itself was done to such a professional standard and I couldn’t be more happy. To make matters even better James is such a lovely person and makes you feel completely at ease. I would recommend Canfield Carpentry to anyone!

James @ Canfield Carpentry put up a bespoke shelf in a wonky bedroom alcove, to match a shelf in another alcove. Shelves matched in height and design, he was super communicative, clear, professional and helpful

James built in a set of wardrobes, desk and cupboards in our newly converted loft

I cannot praise James and his team enough. We were struggling to find a carpenter who could complete the work in the timeframe we needed. James took into account our holiday and family plans to get the work done. He was friendly, knowledgable and a fast worker. He left the place tidy and delivered on exactly what we had asked for. We will definitely use him again.

Highly Recommend – Skilled, Reliable, and Professional
Posted 02 November 2025
I can’t recommend Canfield Carpentry enough. James is a highly skilled craftsman who takes real pride in every detail of his work. His communication throughout the job was excellent, and he went the extra mile, even tidying up and removing all packaging when he was finished. Truly professional from start to finish. Highly recommend!
