Acute Carpentry Ltd t/a Acute Homes

Paul and his team, Sam and James, did a great job replacing our old leaky velux windows, and repairing the chimney. They did their upmost to fit us in before Christmas, which we greatly appreciated. Paul was very professional, and they were all very pleasant to deal with. I'm so glad we found them, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. In fact, they're coming back to sort out our flat roof later in the year.

In November 2023 Paul's team at Acute Homes installed a blind on a hard-to-reach Velux window which is above a staircase. The work was carried out neatly and efficiently by the team - in a matter of an hour or so. They considerately took off shoes before coming into the house, laid down a sheet and removed any debris. Communication with the firm was dealt with promptly and clearly too so we were very pleased.

Very pleased as usual with the work Paul and his team do. Our garden looks so much better and we have received very favourable comments from friends. I would recommend Acute Carpentry Ltd for any home improvements required, we have had various works done over the four years we have lived here, all carried out to the agreed schedule and budget. If I need any building improvements I always phone Paul first, as I know an excellent job will be done, from start to finish.

Acute did a substantial amount of work for us. Initially, they stepped up and replaced two faulty skylight windows which, given the height of the ceiling, proved to be challenging. They followed this up with a replacement of half of our roof in an attempt to address a persistent water leak that has been problematic for a number of years. Communication with the company was good (mostly email). Their work was done on time and on budget. There was an initial problem with one of the windows that was promptly fixed. The quality of the work was excellent and the work crews were friendly and courteous. The work was not cheap, but you get what you pay for and value for money was good. I am very pleased and look forward to continuing to work with Acute on repairs to water damage incurred by the leaking roof.

I can't thank Paul enough for his help over the last month. His expertise solved a major problem for me right in the middle of a house sale; his generosity not only delivered the solution, but removed the stress. Next year I hope to embark on an exciting property development. I have found my carpenter - very much looking forward to working together to create the wow factor.

We had some Velux windows fitted. The work was done very well and the people involved were very professional and friendly. They solved some problems created by other workmen without complaint. We are very pleased with the results. Overall the company has been extremely helpful.

Architect drew plans for a new basement, ground, and first-floor side extension. Big job. Quotes were way over our budget so we adapted to 'just' the ground and first floor. Involved taking the side of the existing house off, central wood burner in the downstairs and old-style chimney breast and stack double pot chimneys through vaulted ceiling. New additional staircase too. Paul and Acute Homes impressed from the start. Local is always good and this was further exemplified by Acute's simple and open style of structured invoicing and an agreement that all extras would be confirmed by email and a costing. That worked very well. Work was completed in a timely manner and where problems in 'interpreting' the Architect's drawings occurred we found Acute to be Problem Solvers not creators. A friendly, hard-working and ever-present foreman and excellent workers and relationships with Trades. Was it cheap? Nope... Was the work good and of a quality we expected? Yes. Timely? Yes. Was it an overall good experience? Yes. Would we use them again. Without hesitation... Finally what could they do better? Not really their area but anything green (trees, hedging plants, lawn reinstatement) is not for them. Keep that out of the quote..

The advice, communication and follow up from Paul was excellent and the repair to our Velux window was completed efficiently by Jacob, who was very helpful and polite.

The team at Acute have carried out several projects for me in 2020, providing an excellent service. The quality of work is always to the highest standard, whilst being completed within budget and to agreed time scales. Communication with the team at Acute is excellent and they are always my first point of call when it comes to my building and carpentry needs.

Acute Homes built me a fantastic garden office with integrated storage space and covered decking at the front. We are delighted with the project and the space has proved invaluable whilst working from home during the pandemic. Would not hesitate to recommend them - friendly & professional service all through the project - thanks to Paul and his team...
