    Excellent craftsmanship from Kalen

    Posted 14 May

    Kalen was a real find, very professional, extremely tidy, good timekeeper and an excellent craftsman. He built solid oak under stairs storage with a pull out desk and replaced our stairs with oak and glass. His furniture building skills were beyond our expectations and he followed detailed drawings to a tee. We have already had him back for a second job, replacing all our doors and will have him again when our bathroom refit starts. Highly recomed him.

    Replace existing handrail with an oak handrail with brushed steel fixings

    Posted 24 February

    Initially it looked good, then I noticed that no caps had been fitted to the rail so he had to come back to fit. Was told I didn’t specify so was charged extra but I presumed “fixings” included these! Handrail was fixed straight on to the plasterboard and has since come away at the top. I have advised him of this but though acknowledged, he has not made arrangements to repair.

    Internal door fitting

    Posted 24 October 2024

    Kalen did an exceptional job of fitting our internal doors plus the associated door furniture. He worked extremely hard throughout a very long day to finish our job and we are thrilled with the results. He was courteous, reliable and prompt; he has a great eye for detail and is very skilled- our less than square door frames did not faze him in the slightest and every door fits perfectly. We will be asking Kalen to help look us with more projects in the future and I have no hesitation at all in recommending him highly.

    Laminate & skirting

    Posted 23 October 2024

    Kalen was amazing start to finish. He came back to us with a quote quickly and communicated the time frame and process of the project clearly. The work carried out was flawless and completed to the highest standard. He was friendly, left everything spotless after he was finished and we will absolutely contact him for future work. 10/10

    Resizing doors and kitchen plinths

    Posted 10 April 2024

    After I called for a quote in the morning, Kalen arrived that afternoon to complete the work. He carried out the work quickly and to a very high standard. I will definitely use him again for any other carpentry jobs.
