A Byrne Carpentry & Joinery

Tony has transformed our lounge! After arriving promptly in the morning, Tony walked through options for alcove cabinets and shelves on either side of our chimney breast. Tony remained very responsive and also showed previous examples, including an extra level of detail (with beadings around panels). We reached out for a few quotes and Tony's was most competitive and very fair. Tony then delivered an excellent turnaround time once we sent the deposit, and again arrived early. The craftsmanship was excellent and we were extremely happy with the outcome. Tony provided detailed painting instructions, and we painted ourselves within a couple of weeks.

After getting some glowing recommendations from my neighbours, I asked Tony to build us some built-in wardrobes in our bedroom and a utility cupboard on the landing. I couldn't be happier with his work and service! Tony was really quick to respond to my enquiry and arrange a time to come and take measurements, kind, polite, and so helpful in talking through options and helping me work out exactly what we needed and would work in the space. The work was completed swiftly and to such a high standard–exactly what we wanted and really great value for money! We will absolutely be using Tony's services again and echoing the recommendations of my neighbours to others.

This is the first time Tony has done a job for us, and we are extremely happy with the result! Tony fitted a new door at the side entrance to our house, that leads through to the back garden. Due to the size not being standard, he made the door himself. It is very solid, very strong, and excellent quality. All the fittings, lock etc are very strong and the house feels a lot more secure. Initially, we thought the work would be done in early September, but Tony made a huge effort and did it much earlier because he could see how insecure a gate we had. We appreciated that very much. The job proved considerably more problematic (and more time-consuming) than expected, as the gate posts and lintel are joined with the equivalent next door, and he had to work on their side as well, correcting what had been done very badly by previous workers. Tony is very friendly and approachable, and explains everything. We are really pleased with the quality of the materials and the workmanship, and will certainly approach Tony if we need other carpentry work done. We thoroughly recommend him.

Having checked on Which? Trusted Traders website I came across this company which was local to me. Telephoned and it was answered by Tony and we agreed a time for him to visit and look at the scope of carpentry that was required. We needed a Non Standard Hardwood Front Door (the old one had been in situ since the house was built around 1910 and the draught proofing I did was beginning not to work). He checked, took his measurements then informed me he had to check with the woodyard for pricing and availability. He came back to me within 48 hours with a quote which I accepted. The finished Hardwood Door looked and felt superb and had been finished to a very high standard. There were problems with the fitting as the door surround had warped over the years and it was not a straight forward installation. Tony took his time overcoming these issues. This was on the 25th of June. We were so impressed, we asked him to do some more work, this time to the Rear Door of our house and an internal door which was not shutting properly. He sorted this out by installing new door stops for the Rear Door and a new internal lock plus door adjustments to the lounge door. This was completed today 2nd July.

Tony has done a few jobs for me over the years. This time, he made a custom bench in hardwood to go around a pear tree in my garden. As always he has provided a great item. Happy to recommend him once again.

We live in a flat and storage space is a premium for us. We needed to maximise space for large suitcase and other bulky items. There was some unused space next to our IKEA wardrobe (which is effectively built in) but it was a very awkward size. We made contact with Tony and he responded very quickly and offered an appointment to see the spec. It was very evident that he is very experienced and he talked through the options with me. He measured up and then sent through a quote and was able to do the work within a couple of weeks. He did all the wood cutting in his workshop and was able to fit it with minimal disruption. It looks great and matches the existing doors perfectly. He was polite and straightforward to deal with throughout and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Tony built three sets of shelves for my extensive record collection. He understood what was needed and was clear in his communications, responsive to my suggestions and flexible to some late changes in the brief. He was great to deal with throughout. He prebuilt much of the structure in his workshop so the installation took only a few days, which minimised disruption. His work was of an extremely high standard of craftsmanship, the shelves look great and are extremely solid, strong and robust.

We found Tony through Trusted Traders and he quickly responded to my enquiry regarding bespoke cupboards and floating shelves to replace IKEA bookcases either side of a chimney breast. He sent photos of some previous, similar work he had done and visited to discuss the requirements in detail. He quickly followed up with a competitive quote for the work and also agreed to hang a new porch door for us. Tony did a lot of the cutting off-site in his workshop, which minimised noise and dust whilst he was with us. He consulted us on all the important decisions, such as height and spacing of the shelves, and made good suggestions. Tony was friendly, responsive and helpful throughout the work. We are really pleased with the results, the cupboards and shelves are well constructed, look great, and make the room look bigger! Our porch door looks great too. We would not hesitate to recommend him.

We cannot recommend Tony highly enough. Tony and Joe have now done numerous projects for us, including building a large set of bookshelves and alcove cabinets, building our utility room cabinets, and building our guest room wardrobes. He also managed to convert an old teak wardrobe into a sideboard for us, highlighting is creativity. He is now about to start work on a set of fitted wardrobes in our master bedroom. All of the work that Tony has done for us has been of an extremely high standard. He has great suggestions and is always very generous with his time during the planning stage of each project. He quotes clearly, always sticks to his quotes, and is very responsive. Just as importantly, he is a really decent guy and it is always a pleasure to deal with him. Highly recommended.

We got Tony to make a few different units for our sitting room, hallway and kitchen extension. His attention to detail on planning the layout of the cupboards, positioning of shelves and doors etc and what was possible in our space was really helpful. He showed us lots of pictures of prior work which meant we could visualise what ours would look like. He was bang on budget (even did a few extra woodwork bits for me for free) and fitted everything really quickly. Really friendly and responsive (even responded to my initial email while on holiday). Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tony.

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!

Tony built and installed a very nice set of custom bookshelves with built-in desk for our little home office room after the 25-year-old store-bought shelves (from a well-known Nordic self-assembly warehouse-outfit beginning with the letter 'i') finally gave up the ghost under the sagging weight of our paperwork. Tony built the shelves off-site to our specification, then visited in-situ to install the units - pretty much taking a single morning to do the deed. This way of working helps keep dust and what-not to a minimum, as well as being speedy. He kept us informed all the way along during the process. The work is great quality with lots of nice little details, including design flourishes that match the office, a removable area on the desk to run cables and networking, and a little side-rest built-in to rest mobile phones while they are charging. He also helped buzz-saw our old bookshelves so we could fit them inside the car for a rubbish dump run to the local municipal tip. We found Tony using Trusted Traders ourselves, and are happy to pass him onto the next customer who needs some good-quality carpentry work doing.

Tony quoted and finished the work quickly. He talked through what I wanted, giving me options and advice on what would work. He designed the cupboards and drawers exactly as described. He built everything in his workshop and then only took a few hours to fit everything. He took great care in making sure that the whole unit fitted and looked good - not easy when I have an old house without a right angle and the floor slopes! He left the room clean and tidy. Really pleased with the result. Would definitely use him again.

Tony has done a few a pieces of work for us. Each time, Tony has been really quick to to respond to messages and always punctual when coming to visit. He is really flexible to accommodate our ideas and created perfect work for us. His work is custom and it is clear he is passionate about his trade and very skilled and knowledgeable. Firstly he created a huge set of custom fitted wardrobes for our bedroom. He was by far the most competitively priced. He completed the installation in just a day, under the estimated time - and on the hottest day of the year! Our next project was to copy a console table with a drawer for our hallway. A little unusual in style, but Tony was able to recreate this perfectly - and with a quick turnaround. Goes without saying I would highly recommend Tony for any work (he also came as a recommendation from a neighbour). I’m now trying to think of a next project for Tony to work his magic on!

Tony was excellent to work with from the beginning. He offered lots of innovative suggestions for our alcove cabinet and shelving. It was a tricky job as the wall was very uneven and we needed the cabinet to be on an angle but nothing was too much for Tony! He took lots of measurements and made most of the cabinet in his workshop to minimise the mess at our house. He was quick but efficient and installed it all in a morning. He was extremely tidy, polite and a perfectionist. Can’t thank him enough for the work he did, it’s transformed our living room and will definitely be asking for his help again!

I had tried unsuccessfully several times to find someone to quote me for building a cupboard under the sink in my cloakroom. I found Tony on the Which Trusted Traders site. He came to look at the project, made excellent design suggestions, took measurements and sent me a quote the same day. He built the cupboard off-site and then installed it in a couple of hours. It is exactly what I wanted. I’m extremely pleased with it. His service was very professional. He responded quickly to emails and came when he said he would. He was friendly and left everything clean and tidy. I have already recommended him to a friend and would again.

I have used Tony Byrne for a previous job and he has once again done excellent work. The job was to box in the electrics and pipework of a new boiler. This was achieved with a solid but removable solution. Apart from anything else, Tony is a gent. Thanks again.

Tony made a really useful fitted wardrobe to make the most of the limited space at the top of the stairs in my flat. He also came up with the great idea of building a chest of drawers into the eaves cupboard, which has transformed the way I store clothes and saves floor space in my loft bedroom. He prepared them both off-site and was able to complete the work within one day, rather the the expected two, with the help of his son. Their workmanship was very good and everything was cleaned up thoroughly. Tony really listens to your individual requirements and ensures that what he builds meets your needs.

Tony made a built-in seating/storage unit for us, and we are delighted with them. He came round to measure up and hear what kind of thing we wanted, and made some really helpful suggestions that definitely improved our ideas - he knows his stuff. He then made up the units in his workshop and came round to fit them, so it was a really quick process - he was done in a morning. Tony was a pleasure to deal with, really friendly and professional, and left everything spotless. We would highly recommend him for all your carpentry/joinery needs! We'll definitely be calling him next time we need anything else like this.

We were delighted with the wooden garden gates Tony made for us. As we live in a conservation area these had to be made to match the originals which they did perfectly. He was personable and punctual and fitted in with our plans. He offered advice and suggestions which we took on board. Tony stuck to his original quote which we considered very reasonable for the work undertaken. We would have no hesitation in using him again and would definitely recommend him to others.

We had two large jobs completed by Tony - building new bookcases and display cabinets and then replacing and hanging internal doors. Tony explained all the options when he gave his initial estimate, was incredibly knowledgeable and wanted to ensure the jobs were done cost efficiently. He went above and beyond to track down the hardware for the doors and advise us of the best places to source materials. The quality of the work is fantastic, work was done quickly and Tony gave us advice on after care/painting. Wholeheartedly recommend Tony and his work. Great quality trader.

Tony provided excellent alcove shelving in our sitting room and offered great solutions to fit around shutters. The craftsmanship was great and he worked to a really tight deadline as I was due to have a baby. He was always punctual and polite. I would highly recommend him and will use him again.

Tony was instrumental in helping with the design of our built in wardrobes. Excellent value and premium finish, couldn't be happier with his work. I'd recommend Tony to anyone in a heartbeat. From start to finish he is a true professional and genuine tradesman, a pleasure to do business with. I've already planned his next job in!

Tony built an inbuilt wardrobe for me as part of a bedroom refurbishment in my Edwardian flat. We worked out the design and specification together based on some initial drawings of mine. Tony built it to "marry" with the period pine panelled door to the room. Everything was made to maximize use of the internal space, including shelves for shoes and bags and a hanging rail at just the right height for me to reach, with hanging space for different length items. Internal shelves were made to accommodate shoes, bags and other different sized items. A large space across the whole width at the top allows for storage of large items like suitcases. Tony made various useful suggestions including wrapping the new skirting and coving in the room around the wardobe. This works really well and gives a great feeling of continuity with the rest of the refurbishment. Tony was able to carry out most of the work in his own workshop, meaning he only had to be on site for a couple of days. I appreciated Tony most for his great craftsmanship and communication skills. It felt like a very co-operative venture. He was very easy and pleasant to have in the house, with some interesting stories from his working life! He seems to have been in demand by people from all levels and niches in society! I am more than happy with the results of the project and would thoroughly recommend Tony for his work.

I asked Tony to design and build a cabin bed and wardrobe for our boxroom, very tricky as the stair bulkhead took up floor space and the room is very narrow. He came up with some great ideas and the work was completed very quickly and tidily, it has transformed the room, given us heaps of storage and a more grown up space for my 15 year old to use. Absolutely delighted.

Tony arrived at exactly the expected hour and completed the job of installing a frame and doors under our stairs very efficiently, without mess and in surprisingly good time. His friendly approach made it easy to deal with him. He discussed some amendments to the original plan with me and incorporated them in a very relaxed and efficient way. I’d have no hesitation in recommending him.

Tony built a bespoke inbuilt wardrobe for a refurbished bedroom. He took into account my ideas about a style to "marry" with the Edwardian panelled doors in my flat. He worked to a drawing I made and when the design / dimensions didn't make sense we discussed things and agreed a better way forward. He did most of the work of cutting etc. in his own workshop, so he was on site for less than two days fitting the "jig saw" together. The result is a beautiful work of craftsmanship with a flexible internal space designed around my storage needs. Tony was a pleasure to have working in my home, very polite and consulting with me so as not to go adrift from my goals for the wardrobe. He is obviously sought after by people with resources, taste and position in society, judging from some of his entertaining tales from his work life!

Tony built and fitted a built in cupboard in our kitchen in a former fire alcove. He also replaced sash cords on our bedroom window and repaired an exterior side gate that was jammed. His quality of work is excellent and his prices very reasonable. He is also very courteous, punctual and kept us informed at all time of his schedule to do the work, I would have no hesitation in recommending him and will use his services again

We're thrilled with the work Tony completed for us, it's exactly what we wanted and because of the room shape and size, not the most straightforward of projects. Tony is easy to work with, commits to what he says he's going to and kept in touch with us on progress.

Tony built and installed fitted wardrobes in a bedroom, and also constructed a desk top out of two former oak shelves that I wanted to re-use. His workmanship is excellent and I am very pleased with the finished result. Tony was very pleasant to deal with. He is professional in his approach - quotations were clearly set out and kept to, he was punctual and worked quietly and methodically. The fact that he could do a lot of the work in his workshop at home and bring it to be installed on site meant that the job was done quickly and efficiently. I would certainly employ Tony again and recommend him to others.

Tony made and fitted an alcove unit and shelves in our lounge, made some cupboard doors for the spare bedroom, adapted some existing doors in our bedroom and also re-hung and put new handles on some of our doors. He was professional and very helpful with all my queries from start to finish. He was also extremely reliable and responsive at all times and last but not least, everything looks great! We are already talking about other projects we want to do and my parents will also be getting in touch with him. Really hard to find top class tradesmen like this these days!

Tony did a great job from start to finish. Came in for half a day and installed amazing alcove bookshelves and cupboards. He has lots of examples and suggestions which also makes getting the end product better.

Tony is an absolute pleasure to work with. Always on time, very polite and highly professional. Tony undertook two jobs in our flat - he built and fitted a new double wardrobe in our bedroom and converted a partition wall between lounge and kitchen into a breakfast bar. The fitted wardrobe looks great and I can’t wait to fill it up. The breakfast bar has made a tremendous difference to our space and the craftsmanship is of high quality. I would be more than happy to work with Tony in the future.

Tony built a small Alcove cupboard in my lounge. I would certainly recommend Tony for future work. Norma

I can't rate Tony highly enough in terms of dedication and friendliness! We needed to get our non-standard sized back door replaced and a catflap fitted. After coming around to look at the door and measure, Tony and I spent a great deal of time talking through what would work, and fitting in the work just before an upcoming holiday. The door looks great, and is such an improvement on what was there beforehand. Thank you again

Tony was a pleasure to employ to undertake our carpentry work. He listened and he gave some very helpful and logical advice. He clearly has very good experience and I would certainly employ him again. Thank you very much

Tony built and fitted a combination of cupboards and shelving for 3 of our downstairs alcoves. He came when he said he would and worked methodically and tidily. Indeed he finished the job ahead of the anticipated timeframe. At each step, if there were different options, he asked for my preferences and also gave sensible advice. Tony was very professional at all times and the final result is absolutely great - it adds immensely to our home. I would definitely recommend Tony for future work.
