We first met Perri in 2024 when he built a catio in our back garden, and we were so pleased with his work that we’ve continued to rely on him for a range of projects around the house ever since. From creating custom bookshelves and a drinks cabinet to fitting a new front door, every job has been completed to a very high standard. Perri is always punctual, communicates clearly throughout the process, and takes real pride in his work. His care, craftsmanship, and attention to detail make him a pleasure to work with, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Detailed reviews
Perry is very skilled and excellent at his job. He has done multiple projects at my house - from building a loft extension to making and fitting bespoke cupboards in the lounge. He delivers on time and is great value as well as delivering quality work to a very high standard. He’s a thoroughly lovely guy too and is extremely trustworthy. You’re in safe hands if you hire Perry.
Perri has done a few jobs for us in our new houses. He did some custom made bookshelves first of all which were great. We wanted an oak finish so he advised on the right laminate to use and constructed it with MDF and laminate over the top and they look fantastic. He then did a custom desk / bookshelf in an alcove overlooking the garden which has become our favourite spot in the house. He also did a tricky repair to our fireplace. He’s a very skilled workman and a lovely guy!!
