Very happy with addition of bannister to existing oak staircase. Excellent craftsmanship - promptly and tidily done.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re really pleased with the wardrobes Mat built for our master bedroom. From the very start, his advice was spot on and he talked us out of a couple of ideas that wouldn’t have worked as well in practice. Looking back, we’re very glad we listened. The quality of the work is excellent. Everything has been finished with real care and attention, and you can tell Mat takes pride in what he does. He also left everything clean and tidy when he was done, which made a big difference. No mess, no hassle, just ready to paint. The wardrobes have completely changed how we use the room. We’ve got loads more usable space now and they look brilliant too, really smart and well fitted into the room. They've now been painted and really make the room complete. Would happily recommend Mat to anyone. A really high quality job and we're so so happy with them.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.
