We hired Alan to build a fitted wardrobe and a media wall, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The media wall took some time to design, as I was quite particular about what I wanted, but Alan was extremely patient throughout the process. The quality of the work is excellent, and we’ll definitely be using him again for future projects. I’d happily recommend Alan.
I recently hired Alan to fit new doors, skirting board, a new built-in cupboard, and a few more bits, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the very beginning, he was professional, punctual, and incredibly detail-oriented. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and the finished result was perfect. If you want a carpenter for top-notch work, then use Alan. It’s clear he takes great pride in his work. I’ll definitely be calling him again for future projects!
Thoroughly recommend Alan. We had new oak doors installed throughout the house and some changes made to the stairs. Arrived on time each morning and completed work to the high standard we had hoped for. Left everything clean and tidy. Really pleased.
Alan is a reliable tradesmen who is happy to help where he can! I highly recommend him as this is not the first time we have used him! All work carried out is very precise and keeps the work area clean and tidy at the end of everyday!
I can’t recommend enough. Great workmanship, friendly, reliable and follows through on commitments made. Very happy with the work completed. In a world where reliable traders are hard to come by, there is no issue here whatsoever. Highly recommend
We had understair storage along with new architrave and skirting throughout the downstairs. The guys were on time everyday super professional and in general just really pleasant. I am honestly blown away by the quality of the work and the finish of the unsderstair storage surpassed my expectations. I would happily use Alan for all future carpentry jobs.
Alan and team are professionals. They worked hard for a week building 3 wardrobes for us and clad both rooms and hallway with butter and bead cladding. We are so very happy with the quality of the work. It’s outstanding. I will upload pictures once I’ve painted them. :-). Thanks Alan and Team!
Very good service and will def use again / have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family.
Really pleased with the work. Had new doors, loft hatch and stair spindles and balustrade. They did a great job, really pleasant guys, super helpful, great attention to detail, worked hard. All completed ahead of schedule too. Will definitely be using them again.
Could nt fault Alan in anyway said and did exactly what we wanted . Literally did nt stop all day and the quality of his work is exceptional and compared to other quotes fantastic value. Safe to say would have Alan back in the future. Must mention Gerry as well who is part of the team and worked in tandem with Alan
Alan and his brother were both friendly and professional in their work. Invoices and costings set out clearly. Very happy with the work carried out.
Had a wardrobe and bookcase built, plus doors hung and sliding door put in. Excellent work, thorough, tidy and profession all the time, everything done as discussed and planned out.
Al is a highly skilled carpenter - we are so pleased with the bespoke wardrobes he has recently completed for us. This is the third time we have had work done by Al (previously fitted all internal doors and bespoke understairs storage) and we have also recommended him to friends who have also used him on several occasions. Al and his small team are professional, tidy and a pleasure to have in our home. Quoting and communication before and during work is also excellent. Would highly recommend.
We’d absolutely recommend Alan. He made a large cabinet with cupboards and shelves for our lounge with lighting under the shelves. We’re having it spray painted to match the walls. Right from my initial contact with him Alan was great to deal with - friendly and professional, got back to me when he said he would and sent through a detailed quote and drawing. He was at our house for 3 days (with his colleague Gerry) but there was minimal disruption and he ensured that everything was tidy at the end of each day. We’re really happy with the end result and the quality of his work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
Excellent work. Can't recomend enough. From first contact till the end everything went well and to plan. So very pleased with my pergola.
This is the 2nd time we have used Alan and Joe's service, which again exceeded our expectations. Alan renovated our staircase and also added some panelling on the sides. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Very reliable and professional and we will definitely use them again for future work.
Alan has done multiple carpentry jobs for us now, in the bathroom and hallway. Alan’s work is outstanding and as a result we will be getting him to build us fitted wardrobes, either later this year or next. Alan has also been recommended to multiple friends and family members because of his high class work. Alan’s contact before, during and after is fantastic and his value cannot be beaten. Alan is tidy and leaves no mess Thoroughly recommend.
