    Staircase reconfiguration and under stair storage

    Posted 26 January

    Dave was great from start to finish. He rebuilt the top of our staircase and landing, whilst also making good of the remaining stairs when others had said it was too difficult a job and needed a completely new staircase. He also designed and fitted the under stairs storage. All work was of a great standard, and we were happy with the whole experience including price. We would be using Dave for all our other carpentry work were he not moving away.

    Under stairs cupboard

    Posted 22 December 2025

    David communicates professionally and efficiently. David had already created a folding door for our bedroom so we knew we would use him again. He provided a reasonable quote to create an under stairs cupboard including blocking off the side of the stairs. David is very friendly, clean, tidy and accurate. We already have plans to use David and his skills in the new year for other projects around our house. Would highly recommend to anyone.

    Replacing built in cupboards.

    David did a fantastic job replacing our built in cupboards. He was helpful with advising on the design and great at communicating ahead of the job. He delivered the work in the time he said it would take to a very high standard. The cupboard look great and would happily recommend him/his work!
