“Kev is simply an excellent carpenter/joiner. It can feel risky when reaching out to a tradesperson which you do not know, but from the start Kev has been quick with his help, helpful in his advice to me, useful in recommending other trades, prompt in the repair, including sourcing the materials meeting my requirements, mindful in the finish, professional in all dealings - and ultimately invaluable when helping me to rectify old problems in my father’s home. I really would not hesitate to ask for his help again in the future.”

Highlights
“Kevin did an amazing job! I had an IKEA wardrobe and he built a custom frame around it to give it that fitted wardrobe look. He took his time to make sure everything was perfect and delivered exactly what I asked for – the results were even better than I imagined. I couldn’t recommend him enough. He’s reliable, professional, and truly excellent at his craft.”
“A really superb job and a pleasure to have Kevin carry out the work at my flat. This is a man who truly cares about doing a great job, who takes pride in what he does. Not only did he do the basic work I wanted (just a few skirting boards needed replacing), he went above and beyond by sorting out other repairs that I had despaired of doing myself, and he was happy to give advice on areas that I HAD decided to do myself, such as painting new doors and touching up door frames. And a totally nice guy as well! It was a real pleasure and I have no hesitation in strongly recommending him. 10/10.”

Kevin is a great professional workman his quality work ethic is brilliant and takes considerable care when he fitted our new composite decking. He removed all the old decking including old support frame then fitted new supports and framework along with a new drainage channel. See photographs in gallery Each end of day he left the site tidy. Recommend highly and we will have him back on our next in-house project.

This is the second time we have had Kevin to do some work in our home. He is always on time, courteous and very detailed in what he does. Nothing is too much trouble and answered my questions as he went along. Thanks Kevin and we will call again should the need arise.

We had a full staircase and balustrade plus 10 doors fitted by Kevin. His workmanship was excellent and he tidied up after himself at every step. He was a pleasure to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending Kevin for any carpentry work.

Kevin fitted two interior doors for us. He was professional, his work was excellent and he was a pleasure to have working in the house. He used protective sheets for the carpet and always cleaned up before leaving. I would highly recommend him and would definitely use him again.
