Gary designed and built bespoke alcove cabinets with floating shelves in our dining room/lounge. Once he had finished, he also agreed to fit some new door knobs where door handles had previously been. Gary was always on time and an extremely hardworking, skilled professional. He completed the work carefully but also to schedule and on budget. We were so impressed by Gary's attention to detail and problem solving skills, as well as his talent at so perfectly fitting the cabinets and shelving into our very uneven, Victorian alcoves. The finished woodwork looks beautiful. He obviously takes pride in his work and it shows in everything he does. Gary was wonderful at communicating with us over every detail. He constantly hoovered up as he went along and carefully tidied up at the end of each day, especially before the weekends when he left our lounge is such a clean condition that our family could watch tv on the sofa without any trace of sawdust or evidence of all the work that had been taking place there during the week. Gary was an incredibly considerate person to have around the house and a lovely person to have a chat with. He was always happy to give helpful advice about where best to buy cabinet knobs or any other questions that we had. We have already highly recommended Gary to several of our friends and will certainly be contacting him again in the future for help with other various projects. Thank you Gary!

Fantastic job

Gary did a great job fitting a new sliding door for us. There were a number of complications with the job including that we wanted the original doorframe left in place and the new door to slide in front of it. He took it all in his stride and communicated well throughout the door installation, explaining each problem and solution as he went along. The finish was perfect, even down to filing down the rail the door slides on so there was no risk of it catching or jumping. Gary also added a groove on the bottom of the door to keep it sliding in the correct position. The quote was agreed before hand and there were no surprise extra costs. We have previously had problems getting somebody to take on the job so we were very happy when Garry agreed to do the job and turned up on the day arranged with no issues. We would heartily recommend him again and no doubt we will call him again if we need anything else doing!

We have been refurbishing our Victorian terraced house and wanted built-in cupboards and bookshelves in our lounge and dining room and new storage under the stairs. One of the other quotes we had was cheaper but we could tell that as a local trader Gary understood what would work in our type of house (where nothing is entirely straight or level) and he was easy to have sensible dialogue with about the best solutions. He stuck to the agreed budget, with no hidden extras. Gary took longer than we first expected but his meticulous work, very tidy and respectful approach and the amazing results are highly commendable.

Kitchen cupboard doors

Gary replaced our kitchen cupboard doors, drawer fronts and bottom plinths. He did a job that other tradesmen said couldn't be done as they only wanted to rip out the whole kitchen. Gary carried out the work required professionally and on budget, with no hidden costs. He worked on time, was reliable and cleaned up after he finished the job. We were very satisfied with Gary's carpentry work and I would not hesitate to call him again for another project, or to recommend him to others.

We wanted some shelves and large cupboards built in two alcoves and contacted Gary based on previous excellent reviews. Gary came up with some very helpful suggestions and took into account ideas we had to reduce any likelihood of damp behind the cupboards in the future. He built the cupboards in situ over a week and was quiet and very respectful of property, cleaning up as he went along. The final results are fantastic. Beautifully made and with great attention to detail.

We contracted Gary at BWS Carpentry to build an extensive run of cupboards and wardrobes into the eaves of our loft - a very tricky job to get right. Gary went over our ideas for the design in great detail with us before he started and offered some brilliant suggestions to help improve it. He has a real eye for detail and takes such care over his work, it never felt like he was rushing through it or taking any short cuts. He was respectful of our home and tidied up as he went along. We are delighted with the finished cupboards and wouldn't hesitate to get him back for any carpentry we need in the future. Thank you Gary!

Wall paneling

Gary built and installed some wood paneling on the bottom half of my bedroom wall, and I'm very pleased with the end result. He was keen to ensure the design was exactly what I wanted by checking in with me regularly and it turned out perfectly. He is a very skilled carpenter, professional and hard working, with an excellent eye for detail, and he is keen to ensure a perfect result. The price was also very competitive. I highly recommend.

This was the second time Gary of BWS has done work for us. This time Gary built new cupboards under a staircase and installed new shelves in two other cupboards. As before all the work was of excellent quality. Helpful, professional, and on budget. Highly recommended.

I contacted Gary after reading the glowing reviews of his work on Which? Trusted Traders. He responded to my email request for a quote and arranged to come round very soon. I had an original Victorian door which I kept when the external doors to my flat were replaced by regulation fire doors, and I wanted it hung in a doorway in the flat where the door itself was missing. Gary came on time to give me the quote and was able to come and hang the door for me two days later, much sooner than I had expected. He did an excellent job, gave me some very helpful advice about redecorating the door myself and cleaned up very thoroughly. I couldn't ask for a better service or better result, and all at a very reasonable cost. I'd definitely use him again for carpentry work.

Gary did an excellent job in repairing window sills, doors, door frames and a door step. Also fitted a larger letter box. A friendly guy and work was of a high standard (and he hoovers up as he goes along!). Many thanks.
