I highly recommend Tellin Carpenter (Terry). The replacement of laminate flooring in my lounge was executed perfectly. Terry was extremely professional, friendly, and did a genuinely first-rate job. Crucially, he was incredibly tidy and left the work area spotless. The quality of the fitting is flawless. I would happily recommend this company and will absolutely hire them again.
Our top corner step collapsed, but luckily I found Terry. Within just two days, he came out and repaired it even better than before! His craftsmanship and attitude were outstanding, I would highly recommend his work!
This was the first time I had used a tradesman from Trustatrader.com. Terry was punctual, friendly, and the quality of his work was excellent. I had internal doors fitted, with arcs and skirting in the whole house. I was very pleased with the quality and speed of his work. I would highly recommend him, and would have no hesitation in using him again.
Employed carpenters before but never been satisfied enough to ask them back for a second job, until now. Work this time entailed removing and replacing some loft boarding, then supplying and fitting a replacement loft hatch and ladder. Carried out in very hot temperatures, work carried out professionally, very happy with result and no hesitation in recommending should anyone be looking for a carpenter or for any similar work to be carried out.
Wanted some new doors fitted, a little shaved off another., and handles etc changed on existing doors so all uniform. Very happy with work carried out and would have no hesitation in using again or recommending to anyone else.
Terry was incredibly professional, the quality of workmanship was fantastic and he went out of the way to make sure we were happy with the renovation of the wardrobes and the house doors. He was also very friendly and cleared up at the end of each day. Would highly recommend him.
A good job done. Was kept informed throughout the process. A tidy worker. Very pleased with the work carried out. Would definitely use Tellin carpentry again.
Terry was very professional clean and tidy, always on time . I found him to be very knowledgeable regarding his trade. Cost wise very competitive. We would most definitely use him again. Tony Ibrahim
Terry fitted a new door to my outhouse. I was very impressed with how quickly he responded to my message, popped round, measured up, send me a picture of a door he was planning to buy to check I was happy with with it, bought all the materials and came round the following day and completed the work. Everything's been carried out to a very high standard at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend.
Terry was knowledgeable when quoting for the work. He arrived on time, completed the work to a high standard and cleared up afterwards. Would highly recommend.
Excellent standard of finish and high quality of work. Started and finished the kitchen install on time and at very reasonable rates. Terry was happy to answer any questions and give advice also. Clean and and tidy. I highly recommend.
Good carpenter who kept me informed of what he was doing. He left my house dust free every day. I would highly recommend him
Had Terry round again to put up some shelves in our recently renewed airing cupboard. Terrific job again, very prompt attendance and tidy finish. Thanks once again! 👍
Terry came on the recommendation of another great tradesman. I called him, asked him for a quote, he came the next day, gave an initial number, later that day having priced it up gave me a firm number, came the NEXT DAY, did the work (which required a degree of ingenuity and adaption), cleaned up, showed me how things worked and left. What a legend. Number firmly stored in my address book and no hesitation about recommending him to others.
We needed a carpenter quickly and found Terry on this site. I read all the reviews and thought we would call him. Terry is very good at communicating in what dates are available, because he was on away and he still picked up his phone and sorted it. We needed a new newel post and rails, he did a very good job and as everyone says he tided up every time he made a mess. Very chatty and polite. We are so please with the job. We would recommend him to anybody that needs a carpenter. Thank you again.
Terry hung an external door for us. Very pleased with job; will call him for any future carpentry work.
Terry is a very hard working man who takes pride in what he does. He fitted 3 doors with nice furniture and I am more than pleased with the standard of his workmanship. His rates are competative and in my opinion fair and I would not hesitate to reccomend Terry again to friends and family. Thank you Terry top man.
