    Fitting skirting and architrave in bathroom

    Excellent job by Peter, thank you. This particular job could have potentially held up future trades. Efficiently carried out work within a week of our initial inquiry so our project is back on schedule.

    Under stairs doors and a bay window seat

    Posted 14 January

    Pete did an excellent job with making and assembling solid wood doors under our stairs and a bespoke seat with inbuilt storage for our bay window area. The finish is high quality and everything looks beautiful. Throughout the process, communication was easy and Pete was willing and able to give suggestions and advice on decisions relating to these jobs. He delivered everything within the planned schedule. We highly recommend him and will gladly use his services again.

    A creative repair

    Posted 09 December 2025

    Peter was prepared to take on table repair job. He talked us through how he would do it. Showed us samples of the sort of woods available with relative costs. The finished job was a beautiful recreation which was an imaginative improvement on the original. All delivered on time and to quoted price. Super job.

    Repairing the risers and tread on 2 steps on my stairs

    Posted 06 October 2025

    True to the quoted price and quality work carried out. Very respectful while in my home, punctuality could be improved but overall I’m very happy to recommend Roots Joinery

    Response from Roots Joinery

    I'm very sorry that I had to rearrange my dates and times. I know that punctuality is important when tradespeople are due. As my reviews show, I don't let people down but when your job coincided with a sick family and high workload, I struggled to fit everything in. Sorry! I'm delighted you were happy with the price and the quality of Roots Joinery's work in framing and replacing your collapsed stair winders. It’s great that you'd recommend us to others. Hopefully we’ll work together again - and you’ll see our normal very high standards!
