    Fitting and supply of 8 internal oak fire doors

    Posted 28 October

    I can’t fault Jon. Excellent communication, reliable, sourced our doors for us after his initial visit and gave a date to start that was honoured. Unfortunately for Jon, our old house and door frames made his work doubly hard and he and his apprentice Fin really had their work cut out in getting the doors fitted. The job took longer than expected but we are delighted with our new doors and would highly recommend Jon and Fin.

    Highly recommend

    Posted 21 October

    Jon installed the stairs for our loft conversion, and we are absolutely delighted with the quality of his workmanship. He was professional throughout the entire process and communicated clearly every step of the way. It’s refreshing to meet a tradesman who genuinely takes pride in his work — and it really shows in the finished result. Highly recommended!

    Friendly and Professional Carpenter

    Posted 29 September

    We were very impressed with Jon and the level of professionalism he showed when installing a panel to block off our fireplace. We needed the job done fast and he got back to us right away and was able to carry out the job within a week. He left the place very tidy and did a very neat job as well. We would highly recommend him.

    We couldn’t be happier with the new staircase Jon built for us! His craftsmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism were outstanding from start to finish. The final result is beautiful, solid, and has completely transformed our space. Highly recommend Jon for any carpentry work!

    Custom-made pocket door and hardwood threshold

    Posted 07 April

    Jon did a great job in completing a couple of small changes we wanted, which included fitting a custom-made door for a small area near the entrance of our property where we keep our shoes, as well as a new hardwood threshold fitted for the entrance to the room opposite. Jon was quick to respond to our messages, advised on the best solutions for both pieces of work, and was very efficient in completing them. Really pleased with how both pieces look.
