Very clear and quick communication. Extremely tidy and non invasive while work was being carried out. Standard of work exceeded our expectations. Would recommend for anyone looking for quality bespoke home improvements. Alf Young22/06/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have recently used these guys to do a media unit and under-stairs storage unit. From the very beginning they offered a relaxed professional approach. The workmanship was top notch. We would highly recommend this professional local company. Thank you!! Heather Pedley03/06/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had new oak doors fitted throughout. Mat and James were highly professional throughout and did a wonderful job. We’re over the moon with the finished result and would have no doubt in recommending them. Kavita Krishnan26/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt and James did a great job with both my utility and 5th bedroom. They were professional from start to finish and were always transparent and honest. They worked hard, were prompt and were always mindful of keeping things tidy. I love my cupboards. They are made from good quality materials and look lovely in the space. I highly recommend Matt and James. They are friendly, approachable and their work is to an exceptionally high standard. They will be the only carpentry company I will use for any further projects in my home. Thank you both so much. Deb Smith16/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can’t recommend Mat and his team enough. From start to finish, they were friendly, helpful and professional. We were consulted every step of the way to ensure we were happy with the design. We are thrilled with the results, even beyond our expectations. So chuffed, in fact, that we are having them do more work. Just need to get them painted 👍 Hannah Jones29/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We highly recommend Mat and James for any carpentry projects you may have. From quote to completion, we found them to be professional, friendly and approachable. They were punctual and hard working. Discussing ideas with us and bringing our rough sketch to reality. Their work is to a very high standard and the materials they use are good quality and will stand the test of time. Both were exceptionally tidy and treated our house respectfully. We are really pleased with what they have created for us Melisa Brucciani22/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased with the work Matt and James have done. It was a challenging space without a straight line, level surface or square corner anywhere! The cupboards they have put in look fantastic and they were always friendly, tidy as they could be and kept to the time frame. Brilliant!

Would definately recommend. Creighton Creighton27/02/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mat and his brother did a great job in our kitchen where we wanted some additional units added. Despite me changing my mind a couple of times on the location of the units they were able to complete them to just the way we wanted and they have finished off our kitchen beautifully.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
