Applied for three quotes and Tony was the most competitive. Not being vat registered helped. Sat down together to discuss the job, exchanged ideas about the design of fitted wardrobes. Tony suggested a date and a price and stuck to both. Good workmanship, very pleasant disposition. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again.

I hired Tony to replace broken wardrobe doors and put up shelving in the bedroom closets. He has done an excellent job and I am very pleased with the results. Tony is a very pleasant person, very helpful and obliging and came up with many good suggestions to maximum the space. He is a hard worker, comes on time and gets on with it. I have another job that requires doing at the end of the month and I've already booked Tony to do it.

I contacted Tony after seeing him on this website. I wanted a traditional base unit and book shelves in my flat. I had an idea of what I wanted and Tony was able to show me lots of examples of his work including the exact design I had in mind. He was extremely meticulous and patient in helping me with the dimensions which would work best in the space. It was reassuring speaking to someone so knowledgeable and friendly. Tony quoted me a very reasonable price and we fixed up a date for the fitting and the installation went ahead very smoothly and quickly with no fuss or mess. I also had the idea of putting a fold-down table on the wall to save space which Tony was also able to design and fit for me. I am absolutely delighted with the unit and table which are beautifully finished and have really enhanced the flat. They look like they were always meant to be there! It has been a real pleasure dealing with Tony from start to finish and he's going to be returning to help me with replacing interior doors. I have no hesitation in recommending him, he's an excellent craftsman and a lovely person to do business with. Sue Davies

Purpose made period design door

This is yet another example of the range of Tony's work. He replaced a warped door, with non-standard dimensions by making a new one, which exactly matches the period style of our existing doors. He also went to great trouble to fit an unusual door handle and latch as well as easing two other ill fitting doors. As ever, Tony completed the work within the promised timescale and all for a very reasonable charge. We would have no hesitation in recommending him wholeheartedly.

Tony fitted a wooden facade for a side return for me a couple of years ago. For a few months over the recent winter months I have not been able to open the door as the wood had expanded due to the copious amounts of rain we've had, but it's not been too much of a problem in that time as I've not really needed the access. However, with the onset of spring and needing renewed access through that door, I recently arranged for Tony to come round to resolve the problem. He planed the wood and set back the door lock so now the door is no longer sticking. And he did it for free. I'm a happy client, and Tony would certainly be my first (and probably only!) port of call when I next need any carpentry work doing.

Tony Byrne is like a perfectly tuned Swiss clock . He's timing is immaculate . Turns up on the dot & does exactly what he says he'll do . Doesn't require food or beverage & just gets on with the job in hand . He took my vague idea of what I wanted & massively improved upon it , figured out inventive ways to cover hideous airing cupboard & pipes . Pointed out why some of my ideas wouldn't work too . He created storage space , made me bespoke drawers , shelving & frame for hanging rails . My room has been entirely transformed & I couldn't be happier . Good workmanship , entirely reliable & really helpful . Feel that job was well priced as were the additions I requested as we went along . He was even nice to my dogs ! Highly recommend . This is the first time I've used Which trusted traders but so glad I did . Thank you

Needed to get 5 doors replaced in a Victorian property. No door was the same size, there wasn't a single straight line, and minimising sound and light was the top priority. Tony found a way around each problem, and I now have 5 matching doors in quite a small corridor which close properly and quietly, and look elegant as well. Tony consulted me at every stage, explaining the difficulties and talking through the solutions. They look great. I have no qualms about recommending Tony.

I discussed my requirements for refurbishment to a bathroom in my flat together with other repairs with Mr. Byrne. He made a number of useful suggestions and provided me with a reasonable quotation within a couple of days. Having agreed a start date and an estimated completion date this timetable was adhered to and the work completed on time and to budget with only a couple of small extras which were advised to me as they arose. Tony undertook the entire project organising a plumber and tiler as needed. The outcome was entirely to my satisfaction and I would rate Mr. Byrne as being very professional, with his work being carried out to a high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for quality, reliability and value for money.

Tony and his tem recently fitted a new kitchen for me. The space involved is very small and I wanted a lot in. Tony and his team - John and Joe - dealt with all the problems this threw up creatively and imaginatively. When the job took longer than expected owing to problems with the kitchen supplier, Tony put in the extra work without complaint or looking to increase the price he had quoted. They also obliged me by doing little extra jobs free gratis, such as drilling holes in my back door step after the company that laid my patio omitted to put in an air brick. A particular recommendation for the tiler, Joe, who was extremely conscientious about getting the finish right even if that meant working late into the evening and coming back Saturday morning. He could not have cared more about the end result than if it were his own kitchen. He also did an extra job re-grouting around my bath where there was mildew damage free gratis. All in all a great team whom I cannot recommend too highly.

Tony has done several jobs for us over several years. We wouldn't use another carpenter. The work he does is first rate, and nothing is too much trouble. The French doors he built for our new kitchen were excellent. He suggested changes to our kitchen design that made it much more usable. He went to considerable trouble to rescue his beautiful new front door, when the glass company messed up. And he is such a pleasure to do business with.

Tony just finished fitting my kitchen which is a very small space. Thanks to his vision and imagination, I have maximised the extremely limited space to fit all my appliances as well as plenty of storage space. He even managed to box in some very awkwardly located boiler pipes. Best of all was that nothing was too much trouble and my satisfaction with the end result was paramount. As an added bonus, the price for the job was well under my expectation. I cannot recommend him enough.

I contacted Tony for my kitchen refit based on the many positive reviews I'd read on Which Local. I'd not had any building work done previously but Tony was happy to explain the process and put my mind at rest. He visited my home and gave me an honest appraisal of my current kitchen and what improvements could be made with a new installation. I have to say that his professionalism, honesty and pleasant manner throughout made this process seem relatively easy! Although he's in constant demand (I'd arranged a rough time for installation a good few months in advance), he always kept me up to date with when he was able to start. I was at home during the refit and Tony and his team worked everyday without a break! He would always ask if there was something unclear from the design plans and always find a workaround for unforeseen problems. He completed his work ahead of time and under budget, and I'm more than happy with the end result. I also have a written guarantee from him for a full year for all the carpentry work undertaken. There are a few minor snags that I've contacted him about and I know they'll be sorted promptly. I highly recommend Tony and will definitely be using his services again.
