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.
