    Posted 5 days ago

    Friendly, professional, great communication and a superb finish. Ryan worked with us to match our needs and was able to offer a wealth of experience in making numerous choices in the planning phase and during the work itself. The work was completed in a timely manner with regular discussion around progress and the next steps. In summary, a great service and a great end product.

    Ryan was really helpful, the work quoted was done in good time and to a really good quality. He was super helpful under the circumstances, which were slightly complicated. He was in constant communication with me, which has really helped. Thanks so much!

    Carpentry work - Cupboard & Internal Door

    Posted 14 March

    We recently had some carpentry work completed at our home and couldn’t be happier with the result. The job involved boxing in a utility cupboard and replacing one of our internal doors with a sliding door, and the whole process from start to finish was excellent. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. Everything has been finished to a very high standard and the attention to detail really shows. The sliding door works perfectly and the boxing in of the cupboard looks neat, tidy, and completely in keeping with the room. We also really appreciated the advice we were given along the way

    Professional and premium woodworking

    Posted 13 February

    Very professional and helpful from quote to finishing the job. We had some panelling added to two walls and they look really smart, especially with the tricky corner and walls that aren’t straight! The second piece of work was creating bespoke drawers for existing built in wardrobes. They are solidly built and exactly what we wanted to maximise storage.

    Shoddy work, not finished

    Posted 18 December 2025

    I found Drift Woodworking on CheckaTrade.Ryan came and quoted for new front door; the quote kept going up. His assistant fitted the door, but didn't notice he had damaged it with a clamp, or that the letterbox hole had shards of wood. The top of the door is not flush with the frame. He said it was warped & would improve, it hasn't. The cills have a gap of 1 cm, and outside step has gap of 10cms beneath. There is a messy gap of holes and filler inside and outside between frame and wall. He said he would return to finish it when I'd painted.Ryan wants over £200 more to finish the job.
