Following a kitchen refit which included new worktops and units, we sought help from The Cornish Carpenter to design and build a bespoke low level cupboard to hide underfloor heating controls using similar materials and to compliment existing style. From first contact Tim displayed excellent communication skills, sound carpentry knowledge and a positive work ethic which convinced us he would deliver a product to meet our high expectations. We were not disappointed. Tim answered the brief and installed our new cupboard a couple of weeks later. His attention to detail clearly evident.Verified reviewerJob location: CO710 Created new shelving in our garage and inside a cupboard.

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.
