Alcove Cabinets

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.

Addition to built-in wardrobe

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.

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.

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.

Built custom bookshelves with built-in desk for home office

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

The door looks great, and is such an improvement on what was there beforehand. Thank you again

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

We needed some large fitted wardrobes fitted and found Tony through this site. He arranged times to come round and give us a quote and was full of helpful advice as to the layout and function of the space we had in mind. He was happy to return for a second consultation and dicuss things futher. He always arrived ontime and was friendly and helpful. The quality of his work and materials was very good. He gave me tips as to how to paint it too. He also rehung our livingroom door after we mentioned it as he was building the wardrobes. We looked around for prices and Tony's bispoke wardrobes were far cheaper (and used the entire space) than homebase, B&Q and John Lewis. We are extreamly happy with the result and will be using Tony again for work in our house. Shame we can't post a picture on here to show how good it looks.

I contacted Tony to lay a laminate floor as well as cut a viewer into my bathroom door and prepare the bathroom floor for vinyl,having read his reviews on his work. I was not disapointed. He gave a competitive quote, was punctual, reliable, made good suggestions in terms of how the work could be carried out in order to give a good finish. I also felt he had a very honest and fair approach, which was confirmed when he passed on financial savings to me from laying the floor, due to it not being as fiddly as he thought it was going to be. Tony was also very helpful in making suggestions to find storage solutions in my flat when I sought his advice. He was able to show me pictures of his previous work, which made it easier to decide what to go for when it came to my flat. Again he was able to give me a quote with which I felt comfortable and equally a storage solutions that would work best for my flat. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

They were patient and friendly throughout, clearly taking pride in their work and wanting to do a first-class job (which they certainly did). They also problem solved regarding attaching a fiddly blind behind the door. They also repositioned some coat hooks and hung three paintings for me. Tony and John (who is a plumber by trade) were a pleasure to have around and I will definitely be contacting Tony (and John for plumbing work) in the future, when I need their expertise once again.
