We hired OJU carpentry to design, make and install wardrobes in our bedroom. Ollie was super professional, diligent, and friendly from the outset - working with us to understand our needs and to make informed suggestions based on technical/space restraints to get the most out of the work. We had a particular style of door and fittings in mind and Ollie judged it all spot on. He was really tidy and efficient and always brought happy energy to the work. I’d have no hesitation recommending Ollie to anyone looking for a brilliant carpenter.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
Ollie & Hugh have undertaken numerous projects in our home. Extensive storage shelving, entire kitchen refit, also a stunning wooden shelf & mantle piece. They have also built outdoor pieces exactly as requested. They have refitted every door handle in the house. Nothing has been too much trouble. They have been both trustworthy, reliable and dependable. I’ve been more than happy to give them a key & let them get on with it. I can highly recommend them to undertake a wide variety of jobs within your home.
Ollie recently fixed my garden gate and did a great job. It’s now working perfectly, looks good, and feels solid. He was professional, efficient, and easy to deal with. Would definitely recommend and will be using him again for future projects.

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
