    Complete bedroom refit

    Posted 2 days ago

    Chris Lyle Carpentry is more than just a carpenter. He project managed an entire bedroom refit for us from design to completion. He not only built wardrobes and drawers but also arranged a plasterer, electrician and painter/decorator. He was always on time, pleasant and friendly and open to suggestions. Anne also did an excellent job of keeping us informed of timings. Would highly recommend.

    Doors replaced and floorboards

    Posted 09 January

    From start to finish it was a pleasure to have Chris Lyle Carpentry replace some doors and repair floorboards. They have been by far the easiest "trade" to work with that has completed work in my home this last year. I wish I had found them sooner. Chris work is exemplary , he is polite and pays attention to detail. Anne was also great keeping me informed along the way. Couldn't ask for more and would most definitely contact for future work and recommend.

    Floor Installation and Downstairs Refurbishment

    Posted 11 May 2025

    Had a really good experience with CL Carpentry. Chris did an assortment of carpentry jobs for us over the course of a week including installing a new laminate floor, changing skirting/architraves, and refurbishing our utility cupboard and downstairs bathroom (e.g., reconfiguring and repairing plasterboard walls and boxing in pipework). The quality of the work was excellent and communication was great throughout. Chris was amiable and helpful, offering solutions for tricky aspects and going out of his way to sort several finishing details.

Hello, my name is Chris Lyle, and I have been a fully qualified carpenter for 19 years. At Chris Lyle Carpentry, we take immense pride in our professional, tailored approach to each and every job we undertake.

I began my career on a year’s foundation course at Oakland's Colleges, moving on to a two-year apprenticeship with a small local business. I committed to working for them for just over six years in total, maintaining a great working relationship with them still, and even helping do the odd job now and again.

It was here that I was given the time and encouragement to hone my craft and learn to become the adaptable tradesman that I am

For the last few years, CLC has been going from strength to strength.

We have now completed and managed many home renovation projects very successfully and are keen to take on more.

The business prides itself on its local work, as well as traveling further afield, often in London. We undertake a wide variety, including, but not limited to:

  • Wardrobes
  • Roofs
  • Architrave
  • Porches
  • Kitchens
  • Joists
  • Staircases (spindles, handrail, banister, etc)
  • Decking
  • Doors (3 doors and over)
  • Cladding
  • Laminate Flooring
  • Out-buildings
  • Skirtings
  • Full home renovation projects managed completely by us
  • Please no repair work

If you have any enquiries outside of the above, please get in touch, as this is just a small section of what CLC can deliver.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch for any carpentry-related queries. You’ll not be disappointed in our friendly, reliable service.
