    Installation of a new front door

    Posted 4 days ago

    We contacted Tim to enquire about the providing and fitting of a new front door for us. We made contact with Tim having received a flyer and from our first meeting, it was clear that he was very knowledgeable about what would be required and all costs involved. He guided us through the process of sourcing a door, then prepped it in his workshop and fitted it on the day he had advised, agreed through email contact. The quality of the workmanship has been very high. He is immaculately tidy on site, and we are thrilled with our door and the time and care taken to fit all the ironmongery fittings

    Creating and installling bespoke wardrobes and cupboards

    Posted 29 April

    Our experience of using The Cornish Carpenter was absolutely first class from the beginning of the project to its conclusion. Tim responded quickly to our first enquiry and gave us an initial assessment based on our requirements so we knew the broad range of costs before working with us. He then worked with us to produce a design of exactly what we wanted. Tim’s communication is excellent and everything was done in the time agreed. The finished product exceeded our expectations. The standard of Tim’s craftsmanship is fantastic and he was very respectful of our property. Highly recommended.

I have been a carpenter for over 15 years, 10 years building superyachts and sailing yachts. With this in mind, I have meticulous attention to detail. I started my business 3 years ago making fitted and freestanding furniture, making furniture alterations and much more. I have a small workshop in Ipswich where I bring my clients furniture to life.


I specialise in creating space. From removing partition walls, making bespoke wardrobes to making drawers to slide out from under staircases!


All furniture I make is sprayed to a high standard and can be finished in absolutely any colour.
