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.

Your own checks
What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
