A Byrne Carpentry & Joinery

My partner fell down the stairs in his home in Gipsy Hill and was very ill in Kings College Hospital. As a preparation (and a prayer) for his eventual homecoming I contacted Tony Byrne to see what could be done to make the staircase (steep and narrow) safer. We discussed the issue and he sourced and installed an additional bannister so that there would be secure support on both sides of the staircase. He also fixed a step broken by my partner's fall and added non-slip treads on all the stairs. Tony's workmanship was first rate, and he managed exactly to match the existing bannister and fixings. He also had to deal with semi-hysterical me and was so helpful, accommodating and kind (I was unable to be present as scheduled due to a medical crisis and he made a special effort to squeeze me into his busy schedule). I highly recommend him as a craftsman and as an extremely nice person.

We'd moved into a new house and wanted to get lots of built in storage pretty quickly. Found Tony on the Trusted Traders site and, after getting a few quotes from other businesses, decided he struck the right balance of being capable of delivering what we wanted at a competitive price and that he was someone who could be trusted. He was very patient with our lack of decisiveness at first, and then made and installed everything we asked for in super quick time causing minimal fuss. We're delighted with the work he's done. There is no doubt that when we need someone to do similar work for us again, Tony will be the only person we'll call.

My friend recommended Tony and he made the most beautiful alcove unit and shelves in my living room alcove. Excellent work and brilliant customer service.

I can't fault Tony's work in any way - from the beginning he was extremely friendly, responsive and took the time to explain the work he was going to do. He also came up with some great ideas and as a result, the work is even better than I had anticipated. The cupboards and shelves are perfect for the room and have somehow made a small, dark lounge feel much bigger and brighter. Tony was able to fit all the units in a single day and I am delighted with them! I will definitely use Tony for any future works needed and would highly recommend him to anyone. Very grateful for all the hard work and end result - thank you Tony!

The job was:- to create built in kitchen cupboard to house oven, hob and boiler, to match existing cupboards. To make wheelchair ramps at front and rear doors. Mr Byrne replied to my enquiry promptly and understood our requirements. He was flexible and thoughtful in his approach to the job. He took pains to ensure that we had what we wanted and that we would find the cupboards and ramps would work well in practice. The work was swiftly completed to our satisfaction

Brilliant. The bookcase was to match another one down a long central corridor. Tony thought hard about the design to break it down and then build it on site. And he copied the original bookcase brilliantly. Then he came and put in a small cupboard into my son's room. Tony has significantly improved our new flat. He put up with quite a lot (including an unscheduled ambulance arrival for a member of my household who was suddenly ill!) and remained cheerful with a great sense of humour. Cleared up well afterwards. He was great to work with. Wish he was a kitchen fitter too. But you can't have everything.

Tony built and installed four alcove units for our living and dining rooms. Our walls are quite uneven and the alcoves are all different sizes, so it was a challenge to make everything look even and balanced. We are extremely happy with the quality of work, how it meets our storage needs, and how it looks within the room. Tony was very communicative throughout the process, friendly and professional when he was in our home, and installed the units on time and at the agreed price. We're really happy with how it turned out.

Once I had Tony complete some built in cupboards and shelves I instantly wanted some more work done. He’s now finished a high shelf and panelling in my dinning room and it all looks fantastic. He’s a pleasure to work with, great at responding to emails and does top quality work. I wouldn’t go to another carpenter and would highly recommend him.

We have had Tony two previous times to do an outside staircase in our garden. Also Tony replaced our front door frame and refitted our front door. Today he fitted two stair handrails. All of above jobs have been done to an excellent standard. Tony is very honest, reliable and friendly chap. We have no hesitation in contacting him for future work, and would recommend him to others.

Whole heartedly recommend Tony - he fitted a bespoke built in wardrobe for us. Very reasonable rates, quick to respond and book us in, then completed and installed the wardrobe really swiftly. A proper tradesman - really lovely chap too!
