About

Traditional standards. Traditional tradesman. Traditional service.
Starting with a five-year boat building apprenticeship, followed by a further two years training as a wood machinist, I have spent most of my adult life working with wood. Having completed my apprenticeship, I went on to spend four years working for a small independent company restoring furniture and manufacturing reproduction antique clocks. I later moved into a therapeutic teaching environment and spent ten years passing on my skills. For the last fifteen years I have been a self-employed sole trader, so in total I have over thirty years’ experience as a professional carpenter in Southampton. I also serve Winchester, Romsey, The New Forest and Waterside, Eastleigh, and Salisbury.

Mr Stone was asked to work on a solution to design and install some storage boxes in our porch. He designed a solution and offered it for our approval, and when we gave it he carried out the work to a very high standard. It had to be tough and in marine ply as it was to stand outside. He went away and he developed the solution in his own workshop and created 2 boxes to the specifications he had agreed with us. He then brought them to us and they fitted perfectly into the gaps. Since then they have performed exactly to what was needed.

Bathroom Door Repair

Have used Ian Stone several times previously and been delighted with his work. Ian, at short notice , generously made time to attend on a Bank Holiday Monday, our property to repair a bathroom door that was hanging off its hinges, preventing the door from being closed and so unable to set the house alarm system. Repair was quickly and professionally carried out with his usual care and courtesy. As always, we can thoroughly recommend Ian wholeheartedly.

I had requested a pair of Shaker style doors to be made to replace an existing ugly single door. Ian understood exactly what I wanted. I had expected to have to wait a while as like most good tradesmen he was very busy, however a job was cancelled due to client illness and our job was fitted in. Communication was very good throughout. The doors are extremely well made and just what we wanted. They have been well fitted and everything was very professional and completely mess free. We’re delighted with the doors and would highly recommend Ian’s work.

It came as no surprise to discover that Ian Stone’s services are in high demand. He is a fine craftsman with a keen eye for detail and who works to exceptional standards of professionalism. Ian’s initial quote was detailed and reasonable and has been respected to the end. Ian carried out the work on our late Victorian home with absolute efficiency taking notice of our requests and at every moment respecting the restrictions that COVID is placing on everyone. It was also refreshing to know that all the work would be sympathetic to the age and style of the property, something that in our experience is not always a given. All work was completed on time with the house being left immaculate at the end of every working day. Ian is a personable man who was a pleasure to have working in our home. If you are seeking high quality restoration work that is fairly priced then look no further; you will be fortunate to hire such an able and congenial tradesman.

Rebuilding of a conservatory

My old conservatory was leaking and rotting away in places. Ian skilfully rebuilt window frames, window sills (indoor and out), and designed roof supports so that the structure was more secure and leakproof. The conservatory now looks like new. I can highly recommend Ian for any bespoke carpentry projects.

This the second time we have contracted Ian to complete work and yet again we are extremely pleased with his very professional expertise and meticulous approach. Ian supplied and fitted 2 internal doors/ levers and additionally re-fitted an alarm sensor to one of the replacement doors. We have pleasure in recommending Ian as a thoroughly reliable and excellent craftsman.

Ian completed work to re-align a bathroom door as tile flooring had prevented it from closing correctly, fit handles and supply latch and hinges. From his initial visit to our property and subsequent provision of quote, from start to finish we were impressed by the professional and skilful approach to his work. In addition he was extremely tidy, hoovering up dust/ debris as he went. We are very pleased with the result. Excellent craftsman, I have no hesitation in recommending Ian for ensuring quality work and indeed have already requested he quote for additional carpentry work.
