Detailed reviews
John has completed work of door replacements and a loft ladder at my parents house and both them and I couldn’t be more pleased. He was utterly reliable from the start, punctual and takes pride in his work. I personally can’t thank him enough. It is definitely worth waiting for John as he is exceptional.
John does a great job from fitting doors to fitting our new kitchen
John was marvellous. Friendly, immaculately punctual (I admire punctuality), highly efficient. I was afraid of the cost before contacting him but it turned out to be way below what I was expecting. Highly recommend and, as I have a bit more work that needs doing, would and will be using him again. 5 stars, 10/10, 2 thumbs up.
I approached John initially to get some advice as to whether it was possible to remove a stained glass window from my Grandparents house so I could frame it. It had great sentimental value but I needed some honest feedback as to whether it could be done. John listened carefully and was sensitive to the emotional nature of the request but also gave honest advice. He met me that very day to view the window and was able to complete the job a week later. John was polite, understanding, pleasant and a true professional. Not only did he manage to remove the window in one piece, he also installed a new pane of glass and wrapped the stained glass window to a really high standard so it would not break. The price was really reasonable considering the work involved and the quick turnaround. I cannot recommend John enough and will definitely be phoning again should I need any further work.
We couldn’t be happier with the work John completed for us. From coming to measure up for us to the final fitting he was brilliant. Very friendly, turned up when he said he would, a fair price and completed the job to a very high standard taking into account every detail. Also tidied up into bin bags for us to easily dispose which is just a bonus. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will definitely be having him back for future projects. Thanks so much!

John supplied and fitted 7 hardwood internal doors including hardware. He also made us a bespoke door for the understairs cupboard mirroring the design of the room doors. Really impressed. All the work was completed to a very high standard and on time with no fuss. All work areas were left clean and tidy. I very much recommend John. Thanks
Great guy. Very professional and helpful.

Really happy with alcove cupboards and shelves. We are that impressed , we have booked John in to make a wardrobe for us. Fabulous workmanship. Would certainly recommend.
John came and did several jobs for us over a 6 week period including sound proofing, building 3 outdoor sheds , a bespoke log store and fitting internal doors. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

John did everything we wanted. He arrived on time and did an outstanding job. He was very kind and helpful and I would highly recommend him.
Would highly recommend John, extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. We are delighted with our fitted wardrobes.
Quick to respond to initial enquiry. John fitted 9 internal doors & repaired a damaged architrave. He was punctual, clean, tidy and the quality of the work was excellent. I would definitely recommend him.
I cannot recommend John highly enough. He did a fabulous job of remodelling part of our top floor to make some great storage areas, including fitting some beautiful doors. John's work is of high quality with great attention to detail. He is punctual, courteous and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I have already booked him for my next project.
