Good With Wood (London) Ltd

I first used Kevin’s services some 15 months ago to fit some unusual bespoke fire doors in my flat together with fitting a heavy solid wood door and making adjustment to other existing doors. I was so impressed by his level of workmanship and attention to detail I did not hesitate to use him again recently to make and fit book shelving for me. Kevin backs up his craftmanship with good advice – it was he who solved a problem I was having on how to keep the fire doors closed, and he again advised on suitable veneers for my book shelving – and fixed a problem when complications with the support framework I installed for the shelving resulted in brackets being out of alignment. During both projects he kept me informed as when he would do the work, consulted me where decisions were to be made, protected my flat while working and always tided up afterwards. He takes pride in his work and, in my experience, is indeed Good with Wood.

Kevin was highly recommended by a mutual friend for a replacement wooden floor to be re-instated after a flood to the kitchen area and to reintegrate the white goods etc. He attended the property at short notice early in the morning to save any inconvenience to the tenants and provided me with a fully comprehensive, competitive, quotation within a few hours of the site visit. He later on that evening provisionally booked the job in within two weeks. Once on site he arrived timely and ensured that all existing carpets were fully protected before comencement of works. He carried out the job professionally and to the highest standards and kept me updated of progress throughout the day. All in all and extremely personable and professional first class tradesman. Would highly recommend and definitely use for any future projects. Excellent all round.

We contacted Kevin because we needed fiddly bits of work doing: sorting out our front gate so that we didn't need to use two hands to close it; filling holes in our draughty front door; drilling holes in an under-stairs cupboard for ventilation. Kevin turned up for the estimate on time and was very good at suggesting solutions and sent his written estimate through promptly. He was good at communicating online and on the telephone when arranging a time to carry out the works. The quality of the work is excellent and makes us wish we had done it years ago. Tidy, polite, reliable, definitely not the cheapest but worth the expense. Very, very pleased.

We needed a very 'sad' internal door to be made secure and were only available at limited times. Kevin fitted in with the time restriction without demur and completed the initial job with intelligent care. We took up his sensible suggestion for further work on the front door at reasonable cost. Our contact with Kevin was at all times pleasant and professional and you should not hesitate to get in touch with him.

Kevin came to the rescue when I had been let down by another carpenter. He was really helpful in creating shelves I wanted with sunken (invisible) sockets. He took the time to discuss every aspect of the shelving and come up with ideas. I am really pleased with my shelves which I can now populate with my possessions - some requiring electricity! His communications were good and he always carried through what he said he would do. I always knew where I was with him. I now have plans to use him for cupboards and drawers when go up in my loft. There a a lot of cynical workers out there and Kevin is not one of them - he is a real find! I highly recommend him.

We needed a kitchen seating bench and some alcove cabinets and shelving built and fitted. Kevin promptly came to assess the job and provided a competitive quote. Kevin was reliable and prompt throughout the duration of the work and the finished product is of a very high standard. We would certainly use Kevin again and we would definitely recommend him.

We have an original wooden door in an Edwardian-era terraced house which was in a poor state. Kevin carefully restored the door adding seals, new and improved locks, handle, letterbox and rehung it in the frame so there are no longer gaps and draughts blowing through. The work required multiple visits and Kevin kept me informed throughout. I would be happy to recommend his services.

We asked Kevin to quote for the refurbishment of our ten year old kitchen, and to remedy a number of other issues which had arisen since our 2006/7 rebuild. He turned up as arranged, and following a fairly detailed discussion of our requirements, he provided the promised itemised quotation within 10 days. Work began on the agreed date and time, and it was carried out efficiently and without mess. All of the items quoted for were dealt with as required, as were a number of other issues which we subsequently added to the list. The quality of the joinery items...additional new shelves and drawers was good...and our house is functioning again entirely to our satisfaction. The costs were in line with the original quotation, and there was no pressure for payment. Our overall experience was excellent and we would definitely have Kevin back for more of the same.

When I contacted Kevin, he came round promptly and provided a quote. He was very efficient, knowledgeable and professional and, having decided to accept his quote, he carried out the work to suit our timescale and, as less work was needed than was originally thought, he charged much less than we had been quoted. He is obviously very experienced, a pleasure to have around and his timekeeping and workmanship were excellent. I am hoping to have Kevin back to carry out some work in our "understairs" to provide better storage access. I would thoroughly recommend him - honest, reliable and great time-keeping (not something I could say about some other people who've carried out work for us!).

Kevin fitted some bookshelves in our living room and did an excellent job. The work was carried out in a timely manner and to a high standard and Kevin was very professional throughout. I would certainly recommend him to others.
