We had The Cornish Carpenter supply and fit some custom-made interior ramps to assist mobility around the house and we couldn't be more pleased. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, punctual, and kept us informed every step of the way. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding, and they left the site clean and tidy. Will definitely be using them again for future projects.Verified reviewerJob location: IP310 Fitting a new wooden doorstep for my front door

I had an excellent experience from the start. Tim was very collaborative had some great suggestions, sending me detailed drawings of what the finished product would look like, along with estimated costs. He remained in contact via email and fitted the shelves on the agreed day. The quality of workmanship was excellent and he was very tidy on site. I am delighted with the end result and would definitely use him again. Highly recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: IP1210 Following having a carpet the door needed to be rehang

Mainly happy. My husband feels that the attention to detail could have been better. Also had some plinths fitted which was agreed, as otherwise there would have been big gaps between the floor and the bottom of the doors. but now they seem to be a bit of a tripping hazard. Tim, the carpenter and his apprentice were friendly and respectful of our home.Verified reviewerJob location: IP28

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.
