    Helpful, professional and creative

    Posted 09 October

    Istvan has helped us on 2 occasions, we are delighted with his work. He is professional, hardworking, and creative. He has recently made and installed a built in cupboard and prior to that he enclosed a stairway and installed a door to separate a section of the house. I would thoroughly recommend him.

    Fitted bespoke wardrobe and doors.

    Posted 01 October

    Istvan recently built a bespoke wardrobe in our bedroom and fitted some doors, and we are absolutely delighted with the results. The workmanship is excellent, the finish is to a very high standard, and everything was completed with great care and professionalism. Istvan was reliable, tidy, and a pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for quality carpentry.
