2.33 Kitchen refurbishment
Posted 01 April
He had done a good job renovating our Veranda and decking at our holiday home, so we engaged him to install new units in a small kitchen, the time frame being 3-4 weeks at the most, starting the week before Xmas. The work dragged on for several weeks. When re- installing the dishwasher and washing machine, he encountered problems, both emitting alarms. We left on 22 February, with him promising to fix the Plumbing problems and complete the works. Since this time we have not heard or seen him. He has ignored our frequent phone,texts,emails. On returning 19 March, he had done no further workVerified reviewerJob location: PL210 Entrance gate and post replacement.

Posted 04 December 2023
We had some ship’s rope which we wanted fixed on the wall by the stairs where there was no other bannister. (Two separate flights of stairs).Matthew investigated and sourced suitable fittings and made an amazing job of it. He also wall mounted our TV and fitted a shelf underneath for DVD player etc. Since we moved here in the Spring Matthew has done a lot of work for us. He is always helpful, innovative, tidy, professional and does a great job. He’s also totally trustworthy and a pleasure to have around. Cannot recommend him highly enoughVerified reviewerJob location: PL2610 Replacing two wooden balconies with composite and glass.

Posted 17 November 2023
Matthew was on time, hardworking, reliable and courteous. It took 3 days to complete the work and he always made sure he cleared up at the end of each day. He fitted, hung and added furniture to 8 interior oak-veneered doors. We’re very pleased with the result and would definitely use his services again.Verified reviewerJob location: PL26

As the name says I am a carpenter and general builder.
I’m a sole trader and generally work alone though use a few trusted people to assist on larger jobs.
I have worked on jobs ranging from digging and putting in foundations all the way through to decorating and have experience with most aspects of building.
I truly excel at carpentry however as this is my area of expertise. Whether it’s replacing or putting in a new window/door, stud walling or cladding your house.
