    We had x3 shelves made and installed, and x2 large mirrors hang.

    Posted 27 October

    We found Tim to be very professional and he far exceeded our expectations. He communicated clearly with me, and he was punctual. His work is meticulous and his craftsmanship is 5 star! My husband and I are thrilled with his work and highly recommend him. We will definitely be using him for future projects. I cannot recommend Tim highly enough. Plus his pricing is fair. When he did the installation he paid great attention to detail and cleaned up after himself. A job very well done!

    Amazing Craftsmanship πŸ‘πŸ»

    Posted 09 September

    Tim and his apprentice Harry did a fantastic job with our pair of bespoke alcove cabinets. I had a very particular vision ensuring there was functionality and symmetry between both sides and Tim was very knowledgeable and patient with the designs. The level of craftsmanship was outstanding and Tim went above and beyond to ensure the finish was just right. If you are thinking of getting any bespoke cabinetry I would highly recommend The Cornish Carpenter!

    Tim made and fitted 2 matching alcove cabinets for me. I’m really happy with the results and would certainly use him again.

    Good, Reliable Contractor

    Posted 15 July

    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.

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.
