    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.

    Two large built in book cases with cupboards below on either side of a chimney breast.

    Posted 19 June

    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.

    Removal and disposal of 7 internal doors and replacement of new doors

    Posted 18 June

    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.
