Thank you Mat Scrase Bespoke Carpentry, we are so pleased with the design and build of our new media unit and bookcase. The attention to detail is fabulous and we were very impressed with how tidy they worked while they were here. Communication was excellent, we would recommend to anyone.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have previously used Mat Scrase for built in wardrobes in our sons room and were so impressed by the quality of the work and professionalism of the company that we didn’t even look for any other companies when we decided to turn our small bedroom into a dressing room as we knew they would do an excellent job! We have had two double wardrobes, small dressing table, five drawers and another small wardrobe built in. Handleless finish (push pop doors) We are extremely pleased with the results and would highly recommend.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mat and James recently converted an alcove into a glass fronted cupboard for me, making the space much more useful. They also put up two sturdy shelves for me creating more storage. They worked quickly and professionally with good humour and left everything clean and tidy. Highly recommended.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, the wardrobes and draw sets installation was flawless. Prior to placing an order and even during the works, great attention to how the space could be used most effectively was discussed in detail. Mat and James arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left everything spotless. The craftsmanship is outstanding—every panel fits perfectly, the finish is beautiful, and the wardrobe run looks completely seamless, like it was always meant to be there. The quality far exceeded expectations and has completely transformed the room. Professional, friendly, and detail-driven service throughout— we highly recommend Mat Scrase Bespoke Carpentry.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt has done an absolutely brilliant piece of work to construct a new bespoke cupboard in my stairwell, to house the new boiler. Despite being an old Victorian terrace, where the walls are never straight, the finished item looks amazing. Matt and his team kept me informed of progress from the initial meeting to the day of installation. A great example of skilled craftsmanship which is really appreciated. Matt is highly recommended. I would include a photograph but the lighting in the stairwell is not the best and would not do justice to Matt’s excellent work.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so pleased with our wardrobe, it is completely made to measure so fits perfectly in our space. It is great quality with added touches that will make a massive difference. We were completely impressed with Mat Scrase Bespoke Carpentry with their helpfulness, professionalism and service.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent design and construction of a media unit and wardrobes. Guys worked very hard and were very tidy. Extremely pleased with the results.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt has recently changed our 70s stairs for a beautiful oak staircase. The service we received was excellent. Matt listened cat to what we wanted and really explained the process and what to expect. Both he and James took three days to fit the stairs and the result far exceeded our expectations. Would thoroughly recommend this company.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the pleasure of having Matt and James working with us through the summer and couldn’t be happier with the results. We had a pretty sprawling brief to cover utility, boot, dining and dressing rooms but the whole thing was finished within about 4 weeks to an absolutely amazing standard. From initial consultation and design to the final door being fitted Matt and James’ passion and energy for what they do was a delight to be around and they embraced the challenge of scribing to our 19th century walls. Would highly recommend these guys.
