    Had Rich round for a 2nd time to put together an alcove cabinet and shelving for us. Great job again. Came out to work out what we were after and he came up with exactly what we wanted, super neat job

    Stair renovation

    Posted 02 February

    We had an old 1970's style ranch stair bannister with plasterboard stair guards at the top which we wanted removing and a spindle bannister with wood handrail as a replacement. Fava was a very competitive quote and we didn't have to wait long before Richard came out to do the work. He worked very efficeintly and got the job done on time. We are very pleased with the renovated stairs and how the work was carried out. Would recommend to anyone.

    Impeccable work with our media wall

    Posted 19 December 2025

    From the first conversation with Rich, I knew I could trust him and I was absolutely right. His skills as a designer and joiner are exceptional - such a high attention to detail and finish. His advice was invaluable, I so appreciated his honesty with my partner and I when we shared our initial idea for our media wall and shelving placement - what Rich suggested was absolutely the right call for our space and it has massively improved our flat. Looking forward to working with Rich/Fava again on future projects in our flat.

    Breakfast Bar

    Posted 15 December 2025

    Really happy with the work carried out, had a bespoke breakfast bar made. Was really quick to come and quote, advising us on sourcing our own surface to ensure the cheapest price possible. Final product is exactly what we wanted.

    Fit 5 doors, replace skirting board and architrave in kitchen

    Posted 13 December 2025

    Really impressed with the work carried out by Rich. He was punctual, well organised and very tidy. So pleased with Rich’s work that we have arranged for him to come back and fit some more doors upstairs in the New Year. I would definitely recommend Rich for any carpentry work required. Not only is he a true professional but also a really nice guy.
