    A great job, we are very pleased. Replacing cornicing is obviously a highly skilled job and Stuart and his team have exceeded our expectations.

    On time, on budget, friendly service. What else do you need?

    I needed some new external doors built and fitted along with a new door lining. Stuart was very professional, knows his stuff – that was apparent in discussion about the work before it had started!
    The work itself was 1st class, carried out on time and at the price quoted, which for someone of his undoubted calibre was very reasonable. Stuart was very clean and tidy and I would not hesitate to recommend S.B.Carpentry, thank you Stuart.

    Work performed: Renovation of existing wooden frame porch and installation of new hardwood double doors, including fitting of hinges, door handles and locks.Stuart carried out the work to a high standard and quality. The carpentry was performed carefully and with excellent attention to detail. The work site was kept tidy and cleaned up at the end of each day. Stuart communicated well both before the start and during execution of the work. I am very pleased with the final result of the renovations.

    We are absolutely delighted with the craftsmanship and professionalism of SB Carpentry. We wanted a bespoke store room built between two stone and brick buildings and Stu visited twice to listen to exactly what we required, as we wouldn’t be present while the work was being completed. When we returned home what had created exceeded our expectations. Throughout, communication was excellent, even sending pictures, and we couldn’t be happier. We would totally recommend SB Carpentry and we will be returning customers for sure!

    Beautiful professional work with my place left neat and tidy at the end of the day. Wish I had used them from the whole job instead of the so called professional before them. Stuart is polite, helpful, doesn’t waste materials and turns up when he says he will. I would recommend him to anyone.

    The work involved weather boarding off scaffold with some awkward situations. Found Stuart to be Punctual, amenable, conscientious and completed the work on time. I would employ him for other jobs when they arise.

He gets on with the job, turns up on time, and always leaves things clean and tidy.I would recommend him unhesitatingly.

    We were really pleased with the work Stuart did for us :1) replacing rotting timber on our garage door and enabling it to open properly. ; 2) insulating and installing panelling to a bedroom bay window.Stuart is very accurate and careful in his work – and left the sites very clean. Highly recommended.

    Where to start! Stu was an absolute professional whose communication was faultless from start to finish. Stu was punctual, informative, reasonably priced, talented and friendly! These traits are definitely lacking within the trades and it was an absolute please to deal with him and has restored my faith in good tradesmen!! I would recommend Stu to anyone and everyone, big or small budget with big or small jobs. I am one very happy customer!!

    Stuart came to have a look at some repair work needed on our garage door. He was able to do part of the job immediately and so got stuck in. He came back a couple of days later with the necessary timber and did a very neat and satisfactory job.
