Pete made our kitchen a couple of years ago, couldn’t have been more helpful, and we couldn’t be more pleased than we are with the result. You need a fitter to install what he makes, but I think he has people he can recommend if you don’t have someone lined up, as we did.

We ended up using Joe for some large built in custom wardrobes. Absolutely fantastic job. Great quality, no fuss, clean and tidy and included all in design, drawing, build and fitting.

Hi all, lots of recommendation for Pete here and i’ve already booked in time with him but not for another month as he has a deserved christmas break. Can somebody confirm he is reasonably priced? I just don’t want to wait a month to find out i’ve got a carpenter that I can’t afford.
Both Joe and Pete gave very similar quotes - they were ‘reasonable’ in the sense that it was pretty much what I expected, but custom carpentry is skilled work and they do seem to be well in demand.

Booked him in to do the job or booked him in for a quote?
We used Joe Kensington after seeing recommendations on here. He was very responsive and managed to fit us in earlier than planned because of a cancellation. He did a very good job in building floating alcove shelving and we would definitely recommend him. He came round prior to the job, chatted about what we wanted and provided a quote. As well as doing a good job, he was very easy to deal with and professional throughout the process.

Another recommendation for Joe Kensington. He recently replaced our old kitchen worktops. He excellently prepared, precut and installed the new oak tops. Done a thoroughly good job.

Can anyone recommend a carpenter or handyman to renovate my garden table and benches? They are traditional cast iron with hardwood slats and the slats need replacing. Thanks.
@Taurus or anyone else looking for a carpenter, I just used Toby James (tobyheiser@gmail.com/07748642583/https://www.toby-james.co.uk/) who I found on Next Door. I needed someone to repair a wooden floor that was quite problematic so wanted a carpenter rather than a floor fitter. He did a really good job, and did some other bits e.g. boxing in a bit of pipework in bathroom while he was here. Nice guy and decent price I thought. I read other recommendations for his cabinet making, plastering and general handyman work and I would definitely contact him again for any of that.

Looking for quote or recommendations for someone to put up four MDF shelves either side of fireplace in alcoves.
Thank you!
