"Stu is an extremely talented and delightful individual. He kept us informed at all stages of work. The precision and standard of work is second to none he is very skilful man not just in terms of woodworking and carpentry but also design. Stu gave us a refurbished bespoke staircase that wholly exceeded our expectations. We would recommend Stu without hesitation. Thank you." - Mr Willett (August 2023)
"This is the second job Stu has done for us, all of our internal doors and frames and now our back gate, he’s always very friendly, hard working and does an excellent tidy job. Already have the next job lined up and would highly recommend him." Mrs Smith (December 2019)
"I purchased a cottage in the Cheltenham area a few months ago and needed to renovate the bathroom. Stu met me at the cottage and after listening carefully to my brief and a long wish list, he advised me accordingly and realistically. Stu was the Project Manager and led the team of other trades. He set out the itinerary with timescales, an important aspect as I live in London. I needed someone to understand my requirements, take control and crack on. I just gave him the keys and that is what he did. Stu has such a keen eye for detail, a perfectionist but doesn't overpower your wishes. His craftsmanship, in my opinion is first class and faultless. It’s so perfect that I refer to his carpentry as artwork!! Stu is an expert and full of knowledge.
He is organised, communicated with me appropriately, backed up with photos of his progress at key stages. He coordinated all the trades seamlessly and completed the project on time and on budget. Stu is trustworthy, honest, reliable, respectful, very hardworking, clean, tidy ensuring that all my carpet and furniture was covered and protected. I thank you so much for the above. See you next year for my kitchen renovation!!" Mrs Aird (December 2019)
"Converting our spare bedroom into more of an office space, Stu built floor to ceiling cupboards & a desk. He was reliable, always cheerful, very conscientious, paying particular attention to detail in his work, & kept the room & access areas as clean & tidy as possible. We are very satisfied customers & would have no hesitation in recommending him to others." Mrs Allen (December 2019)
"We initially had Stuart around to quote to replace all of the doors in our house following moving in. It became apparent early on that he really knew what he was talking about, and seemed a really nice trustworthy chap, so we changed the scope of work to include door lining, fitted wardrobes and replacement oak banisters. His work ethics, creativity and manner are all exceptional and we quickly knew leaving him in our home on his own during the day that we were leaving it in a safe pair of hands whilst we headed off to work. As suspected his standards are amazing and attention to detail is exemplary and we can’t recommend him enough, so much so that we got him back to fit our kitchen and utility room which again was made a painless experience for what’s quite a stressful time with an absolutely amazing result at the end. Numerous friends have commented on his workmanship and am sure that his diary will remain booked for a long time to come. Thanks ever so much Stu." Mr Murphy (October 2019)
"Really happy with the work provided, good attention to detail and exactly as quoted. Very upfront about delays and good communication. I enjoyed the singing along to the radio. Scott says very nice truck! Wouldn't hesitate to get Stu back to do more work as the standard is really high and great value. Worth the 4 month wait!" Mrs Thomas (April 2019)
"I asked Stu to fit some cupboards and do a few other bits of carpentry at our home. Stu had a cancellation so came a month or 2 earlier than he thought he could which was great. Stu had our house key as we are both out at work and he worked around our builders with no issues. Stu created 3 fitted cupboards, 2 floating shelves, a new architrave and door and the most beautiful oak mantle over our wood burning stove all in 4 days – amazing! He is friendly, polite, efficient, trustworthy and most especially a master at his craft, his work is exemplary and exceeded our expectations! Thank you so much Stu, we are already lining up further carpentry work for you – the only snag is the long wait due to your popularity!" Mr & Mrs John (March 2019)
"Stu was very professional, the standard of his work and attention to detail is extremely high. I can't recommend him enough. We have already asked for a quote for some more work because we are so pleased with what we have had done." Mr & Mrs Keast (November 2018)
"Stu was amazing. His dedication to making sure a perfect job was done is to be commended. His skill set and ideas were really appreciated when designing both our under-stairs storage area and three alcove bookcases. They are super pieces of carpentry which will serve us for many years and have already been admired by our friends. And such a friendly and easy-going chap to have in the house! Will definitely call him back for future work!" Mrs Hodges (June 2018)

When the time arrived for the work to be done, you were prompt, friendly, and very tidy! The shelves and cupboards you made for us look excellent, and are a good use of the space.

We are delighted with the end result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone else needing carpentry work." Mr & Mrs Thomson (March 2016)

The end result was a top quality porch that we are really pleased with. We have already recommended Stu to family and friends, he is trustworthy, hardworking and most importantly produces exactly what you want and more!" Mrs C Jackson (May 2015)
