“Dan and his team did a really good job with fitting some sliding wardrobes in a small bedroom for me, to increase storage space vs our old freestanding wardrobes. I was very happy with the finished job, Dan & team worked pretty much flat out and did the work in two full days. Dan & team arrived when they said they would, were polite throughout, helped me tidy up afterwards and checked with me while they were working, that I was happy with how it was coming together. One thing that sets Dan apart from other trades is that his communications are really really good, he is in touch throughout.”

Highlights
“We were recommended to Dan and Creative Carpentry by someone we know Everything we wanted has been done with skill and care and a smile which is quite rare, so we will definitely recommend Dan and his team to everyone and if we need anything we will ask for him again Thanks Creative Carpentry”
“My wife and I used Creative Carpentry Services Ltd to remove our old kitchen and the installation of new base and wall cabinets in both kitchen and utility using our kitchen design and layout. The workmanship and professionalism of Dan and his team was of the highest standard, both precise and meticulous. The finished kitchen and utility room is exactly what my wife and I had wanted. Nothing was too much trouble. We would therefore most certainly recommend Creative Carpentry Services Ltd. Dan’s eye for detail was impressive with him over seeing each stage of the project until completion.”

Verified by CheckatradeCarpentry work - great experience
We contacted Dan at Creative Carpentry to come out, quote and advise on a whole lot of jobs. He responded quickly, came out to see us within a week, drew up plans for custom wardrobes, new sliding mirror doors on another walk-in wardrobe, advised on installation of fire doors and repair of a stairwell. The week began within a week, and was done to a high standard, cleanly and quickly by Dan's friendly and professional team, personally overseen by him. We are delighted with the experience and Dan's honestly and expertise. Strongly recommended.

Second time we’ve used Creative Carpentry and they did a brilliant job! Dan and his team were friendly, always on time and left the house clean and tidy. Really pleased with our new doors and would definitely recommend their services!
Verified by Checkatrade
These guys were highly recommended to me. Wow what can I say! I had 14 doors fitted and frames, and skirting. Dan came out and measured all the doors and he ordered all the doors on our behalf, great advice on doors, handles, which made it easy. He kept me informed at all times. Dan and Hugo were very professional, polite and hard working, they don’t stop! My son enjoyed working with them as he wants to be a carpenter! They are trustworthy and most of all we can’t thank them enough, they have done an amazing job and we will be seeing them again soon to also do our Kitchen. Thank you 🤩

Dan and Hugo fitted 9 internal doors in February and returned to fit two more doors this week. A very professional job, and I am very pleased with the result. It has quite transformed my home. At all times they were friendly, helpful and entirely trustworthy (I left them on occasions in the house on their own with no qualms whatsoever). I would not hesitate to use them again. Highly recommended.

Creative carpentry really lives up to their name! After watching a popular DIY show on telly, I went to Dan with the idea of creating a ‘hidden’ office space in one of my alcoves in my front room. Dan ran with the idea and came back with a great design. Hugo brought the design to life and I now have my very own beautiful office hidden behind bi-folding doors, that doesn’t impose on the front room and has lots of storage space!

Dan and Hugo were one of the few Tradesmen that were actually keen and willing to attempt the bespoke shapes of the boats kitchen. Very happy to report that they exceeded all expectations and fitted out the kitchen countertops and cupboards with great precision and quality materials. Would highly recommend.

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 7 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.
