Highlights
“I have had Tom come and do two jobs for me, both completed to an excellent standard. Additionally he was flexible to my requirements and found excellent solutions. I would recommend Tom for any of your carpentry needs.”
“Replied to my job advert straight away late at night then arranged to come the following morning to carry out the job. Paid a £10 an hour extra for the Saturday and last minute but have to say really worth it. Could have started central for the Panel so both sides were even but left side of wall was out. Overall really happy with the work. 10/10 effort. Nice, polite and punctual.”

I like Tom’s work he did a media wall in my living room and this was his second job at my recently refurbished house. Excellent job, I am 100% happy with his work
Tom is an absolute professional and a real pleasure to deal with. We’ve had quite a few tradespeople over the years, but Tom truly stands out as one of the very best. His workmanship is second to none—every detail is finished to perfection, and he clearly takes great pride in what he does. He’s also incredibly trustworthy, always punctual, and leaves everything spotless at the end of the day. On top of that, he’s just a genuinely lovely, down-to-earth person who goes above and beyond to make sure you’re happy. It’s rare to find someone who combines skill, reliability, and such a kind nature.
Tom was excellent from start to finish. He is considerate of his surroundings. Very good value for money. This is the second job Tom has done for me and I would highly recommend him
Tomasz demonstrated very good timekeeping throughout the whole process. He arrived to quote for the job and gave a general price which was very reasonable. He sourced the materials for the job and completed to our specifications. The shelves in the garage were of a high-quality and very sturdy. During the job, Tomasz consulted with us at each stage to check that we were happy with the work. We will definitely be getting Tomasz back to do further carpentry work.
Tom recently installed a kitchen for me, he is such a professional and he takes his work serious. He communicated well before starting the job and during the job. I am so happy with my kitchen

This is the second time I have used Tom. His workmanship is amazing. Throughout our project Tom would make recommendations to improve the layout and we now have a much better functioning room than before! The decorator who has followed Tom is impressed with the quality of the cupboards, built from scratch to fit from green MDF. Tom is a very hard worker. He worked 10 hour days and stayed throughout the project for full days. I often recommend Tom to others who need carpentry. 5 star quality.
Tomasz has worked on several projects for us within the business, the work undertaken is to a very high quality standard and we are so happy with the end product. We will be using his services again and highly recommend to everyone.
Tom did an excellent job installing our bathroom door with a lock. From the start, he was punctual, friendly, and professional. He took the time to assess the space and ensured that the door was hung properly, with no issues in the alignment or function. The lock works perfectly. Tom's attention to detail and quality craftsmanship were evident throughout the job.
Almost all of the internal doors in my late Victorian house were poorly fitted, being either hard to close because of spring-back or were scraping across carpets and hard floors. The front door could only be opened with a hard tug. Tom responded very quickly to my request for a visit and resolved all of the problems at a competitive price. He also vacuumed up any mess to leave the house looking spotless. Highly recommended.
We contracted Tom to make a built-in wardrobe in the master bedroom and install our new kitchen. What a professional - takes extreme pride in his work, 10/10 craftsmanship, very efficient and courteous. Highly recommended - he will be my go-to person for any bespoke carpentry work going forward.
I appointed Tom to build an MDF media in my new house over an existing old fireplace. I cannot be happier with toms work, the media wall looks amazing and the quality of workmanship is excellent. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for bespoke carpentry work.
I always use Tom for all carpentry and joinery work. He installed skirting in a difficult area with non level walls. He is always tidy and takes pride in his workmanship. Always a 10!
We had an alcove in our kitchen which had one cupboard and a space our boiler used to be in. We wanted to create a cupboard to fit the space entirely. Tom created a made to measure cupboard to fit the space, working around hazards we didn't know were there, such as a gas pipe running down the side of the space to the side of the cupboard. He took time to plan and to discuss changes with us before implementing them. The final result was impressive and exactly what we wanted, blending into our current kitchen but designed so that it could fit into what we expect our next kitchen to be.
Tom is very skilled in his work nice to deal with and reasonable prices highly recommend will use again and recommend to others
Very polite and extremely skilled. He checked fine details and choices of options. Professional, prompt and very polite. Reliable. Committed to high standards.
