    Bespoke Shelving and Repair Work

    Posted 16 November 2025

    I have used Mike before, so it was a no brainer when I moved to a new house and needed a some work done. He was extremely helpful and thorough in the planning of the work, taking in my aspirations but able to suggest suitable solutions to simply the work/cost as appropriate. He was punctually, polite and professional throughout. I am really please with the end result. The work included converting an existing kitchen cupboard, repairs on 2 doors and installation a bespoke shelving unit in a study. It was exactly what I was after, and I would thoroughly recommend Ocean Decor for similar jobs.

    Wooden porch repair and repainting

    Posted 01 November 2025

    Our wooden porch had some rot and needed repairing and repainting. We were concerned we’d left it too late and might not be able to get it done before Winter. Mike was quick to respond to my initial enquiry and organised to come round quickly to quote. From start to finish Mike was very thorough and made sure to explain what he was doing and why. It was so great to find someone who could do the carpentry repairs and the painting. We’re extremely happy with the end result.

    Take up 2 doors

    Posted 18 April 2025

    We called Mike to take up two doors that were rubbing against thick carpet. He did a fabulous job, and was calm, knowledgeable, and conscientious. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mike, and he would be the first person I’d call if I needed work doing again.
