A Byrne Carpentry & Joinery

Tony recently built a fitted cupboard for me in a spare bedroom. He brings quality at a competitve price, plus commonsense, efficiency and reliability to any project he takes on. I'm more than happy to recommend him (again!) to Which Local users.

I used Tony & his team to revamp my sons flat. Tony was helpful & polite & came up with good ideas for the reconstruction of the flat prior to sale. He was good at organising the project & arranging for his team to arrive at the appropriate times. I live some way off but thankfully was kept up to date with the progress. The bathroom in particular was a challenge as it was in a dire condition but the end result was spot on. When it came to the kitchen fitting Tony advised that it would be best if it was 'reconditioned' as the new owners would probably want to change things to suit their own taste. This he did by changing all the cupboard doors & replacing some areas that were damaged. The price for the work was reasonable so we did not feel overcharged. There were a few areas that needed tidying at the completion of the project but Tony sorted them promptly. Shame about the plasterer who made a real mess & it took me some time to clean up after him! Sadly we unearthed some minor blemishes after completion but I rectified these myself. I would certainly use Tony's services again.

Mr Byrne came promptly in response to my call about a jammed sash window, correctly diagnosed the problem, quoted a very reasonable price and then did the job on the spot. I will certainly use his services again and recommend him. 'Thank you' to him and to Which-local for the introduction.

Tony installed a kitchen door for me. He provided an excellent service throughout. He talked me through the work, outlined potential problems and gave me a choice of things to have done. When he did the actual work he was punctual, swift, polite and diligent. He was happy to offer advice about how I could do further work myself. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

If I have a carpentry job, Tony is always the first port of call. I've recommended him before and am pleased to do so again, belatedly, for a job he did for me back in February this year -- a pair of free-standing alcove units (cupboards and shelving units that he built to a design we jointly created). The positive stuff people write about Tony's work and approach is all more than justified: he's honest on price, professional on delivery and will never let you down. He has a wealth of practical experience and his commonsense approach and advice will help you plan and understand what can and can't be done cost-effectively. I've said it before: he's a top man and fully deserves all the plaudits.

We had a rotten wooded window-sill. We were told by others that we would have to replace the whole window frame. Tony neatly cut out the rotten sill only and replaced it beautifully. He then also replaced our rotten back door and stopped our front door from sticking. He did a splendid job at a very reasonable price.

First Class Service....!!! I used Tony to replace my Bathroom Ceiling following a flood from an upstairs Flat. Not only was the work carried out to a high standard but his quiet,"no fuss" approach throughout, coupled with going the extra mile in sorting out a few minor adjustments to fittings as well - was really impressive. I would definitely use Tony and his team again and recommend him to others.

I've already recommended Tony to a friend and he's only been gone an hour! He is very professional and his work is excellent. Until my Dad died, I relied on him for my carpentry needs (he was a sort of cabinetmaker by trade) and I have to say that the shelves Tony has built for me would have done my Dad proud! Tony is now my first point of contact for any woodworking requirements.

I choose Tony to fit a new kitchen. I found him through Which? Local and found that his rates were very competitive (much better than using the kitchen companies). He was prompt in arriving and came with creativity and innovation able to solve any problem that was thrown up. I am very pleased with the standard of work from Tony and his team and I would certainly recommend him to others.

I chose Tony Byrne using Which Local and am writing this by way of thanks for all the hard work and imagination heÍs put into the refurbishment of my flat. Together with his team, he laid an engineered wood floor, removed an old kitchen, fitted and tiled a Howden kitchen, took out a stud wall, built fitted cupboards and a clever set of shelves in what had been a doorway. As a cost conscious, nervous and generally indecisive first time kitchen replacer, I wish that IÍd taken his advice (and great discount) earlier instead of trying to recycle my old Magnet kitchen. Once IÍd got over this hurdle, I could see that starting again from scratch made much more sense as he has a good relationship with the supplier and is familiar with their products. What has really helped is his lateral thinking and problem solving capabilities. Inevitably it wasnÍt that straight forward as the walls werenÍt straight, the cabinets needed modifying and the supporting pipework all needed changing. His colleague the plumber and gas fitter were really helpful in thinking of neat ways round problems. Tony offered suggestions about how I might maximise the space I had gained by taking down a stud wall to open up a large boiler cupboard. To me what was important was the way in which, even when we disagreed, we were able to see each otherÍs point of view and to agree on what was most practical. He was patient in explaining why I couldnÍt do the thing the thing I was bent on doing and how I might get round the issue. Similarly he gracefully accepted my niggles on certain items and agreed to redo something which I wasnÍt happy with. What helped most was the way in which he priced the job _ breaking down the items and being fair about not overcharging when it turned out that something could be recycled or he hadnÍt needed to do quite what was planned. Now that the job has been finished he has been good about arranging to attend to the minor snags that have arisen. He is friendly, professional, honest and straightforward and I have no hesitation in recommending him. Thanks!

We engaged Tony to replace a rotting casement window and try to re-open three other casement widows that had been screwed shut for 20 years. We also asked him to build a wardrobe in a bedroom. It was all successful and to a high standard to match the period features of our house and at a very reasonable cost. He is very friendly and experienced and gives good advice. He started promptly and worked on site on dates that suited us. The jobs were completed in a day and a half from our point of view as he could do most of the work in his own workshop. We will certainly ask Tony when we have any further jobs to be done.

A bathroom cupboard with drawer was required to fit in very little space and I could find nothing readymade. Mr Byrne suggested a good solution to the problem and made and fitted a suitable cupboard very quickly.

I cannot recommend Tony and his son Danny highly enough. They have just finished putting in fitted cupboards and shelves in every room of our new flat. Their prices were reasonable, standard of work excellent and speed outstanding. They delivered everything within a few weeks of ordering and installed everything in the space of four days causing minimal disruption. While he was working in the flat Tony also fixed a few niggling problems such as doors needing adjusting without further charge. I will definitely use them again.

Tony repaired two of our sash windows and did a great job on what have turned out to be very poorly made windows in the first place. He was very reliable, honest and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend him.

Tony has just built and fitted two large alcove units consisting of cabinets and shelving for my Lounge and I am very pleased with them. I had obtained an alternative quote for the same amount of furniture from an alcove company and simply couldn't afford their price. I'm glad that I couldn't, as Tony was able to suggest a couple of ideas to neaten the housing of my Sky & DVD equipment which hadn't been suggested previously. Tony was totally professional, punctual, polite and a pleasure to have in my home. Would definitely use him again and would highly recommend him to others.

Tony recently cut to size and fitted a thick wooden worktop, made a housing around the fridge/freezer from the same wood, and built an MDF cupboard around the boiler. He did an excellent job and I am very pleased indeed with the result. He was prompt to quote, fitted the job in quickly and finished it in under a day. He then went on to make a narrow worktop from the bits of wood that were left from the main job, and it looks splended. His prices were very reasonable and I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Doing a good job is clearly very important to Tony and I found his attention to detail and his overall approach to be very refreshing. I will certainly use his services again.

Tony made and hung a small door in the kitchen to complete an island without the door being visible. A simple job for a skilled craftsman, but carried out to a high standard. I would recommend Tony if you need any carpentry within the home. Dave Johnson

Tony and Fred supplied and hung a new door for us. They kindly prioritised our work after our previous door was damaged, making replacement urgent for us. Tony's advice to us was honest and impartial, helping us to make a saving in purchasing the door, and the work was completed to a high standard.

Very happy with Tony and his team. Always punctual, worked to a very high standard and full of innovative ideas. Tony fitted a kitchen for us, which looks superb. It is rare to find tradespeople who offer great quotes and actually complete the work in time and to an excellent finish. What more can we say? Definitely a number to keep in your address book.

Tony once again gets five stars for quality and value. In March he built me a fireplace surrounding a bespoke shelf unit for set-top box and TV gizmos when I wanted to wall mount my TV above. (This is actually a smart idea -- shame the site doesn't host images.) Also a shelving unit and radiator cabinet for an alcove. Plus boarded out a loft area and created the access hatch. Total time Tony spent on site (he measures up and then makes the components off site) was two days 8:00-1:00/2:00pm each day. All cleared up perfectly afterwards. He thinks it through, makes all the right calls and guides you in the right directions because he has a ton of experience. Top man, true professional.

Tony Re-fitted and reset an internal door which was badly out of square and fitted a new kitchen door. Excellent work and would recommend. One slight drawback is that he is a Chelsea supporter, that apart I will certainly use again.

We asked Tony to undertake a range of work at our new home. He came up with imaginative solutions to some tricky problems. He works to a very high standard, his prices are reasonable, he is fast and efficient and he takes manifest pride in his work. He is very reliable and called us if he looked like being delayed. He worked at our home over a period of a couple of weeks and we are delighted with the results. We recommend him 100%.

Tony, helped put in a new kitchen in 2011 and did an excellent job, also put in a new door entrace into the kitchen. I would certainly recommend him.

I used Tony after all the recommendations seen on Which Local. He helped us put up bookshelves, build 2 fireplace surrounds, and cupboards in alcoves in our back room. He was so helpful, he made great suggestions - because we were quite vague on what we wanted - and he was quick and efficient. I would like to get him back to come and do some wardrobes in the new year, and I would certainly recommend him.

I had used Tony earlier this year and so when I needed 4 new doors hanging I hD no hesitation in asking Tony to carry out the work. Another great job carried out o a high standard despite my very out of shape door frames. Highly recommended.
