Bespoke Woodwork Services

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!

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.

Gary from Bespoke Woodwork Services built a set of excellent bespoke wardrobes into our bedroom under the slanted eaves section and also a floor to ceiling storage cupboard in the alcove to the side of our fireplace. We are extremely happy with the quality and care taken over the work. Gary built the cupboards exactly to our design and his experience working in older properties with slightly uneven floors/walls/ceilings was very useful. Gary was reliable, respectful of our property and clearly took pride in his work. We received a number of quotes for the work and his was very competitive for the build and decorating, especially for the quality of the finish. We would highly recommend and will definitely use again for future jobs!

Gary removed our old doors, made good the threshold, replaced the door stops and supplied a fitted 4 internal doors and new handles/locks as well as making a bespoke oak Cabinet over four days. Gary’s work and attention to detail is excellent, he ensured that we were consulted at each step and he gave us good advice. We are very pleased with the end result so we will definitely use his services in the future and we would highly recommend him to anyone.

I found BWS (bespoke woodwork services) through Which Trusted Traders Gary sorted out repairs to a heavy swing door in my kitchen. The door has a heavy hydraulic doorspring and I feared that the spring had to be replaced but Gary managed to do the repairs without an expensive replacement. He had also researched the mechanism in advance. What was scheduled as a two day job was finished within a day and was well priced. Gary was also reliable as to the date/time he came round for the quote and the day of the repairs. Highly recommended and I would happily use Gary again

Gary was recommended to my by my electrician and he did an absolutely spectacular job of fitting my new Howdens kitchen. I couldn’t be happier! My kitchen is an awkward shape with the units fitting around an old chimney breast. Right from the beginning, Gary’s attention to detail was impeccable. He advised on the design, double checking the Howdens measurements, and walking through how the kitchen would be installed to make sure it was actually possible to fit it in such an awkward space. He consulted me at each stage to make sure I was happy, and walked through any alterations with me in great detail. Gary also replaced my extractor fan ducting after we discovered the existing ducting was too narrow. He also designed custom housing for the extractor fan to sit inside the chimney breast alcove, complete with shelf to match my wooden worktops. I couldn’t be happier with my new kitchen. Gary was a pleasure to work with and his quality of workmanship is second to none. He clearly takes a lot of pride in his work! I will definitely use him again for future woodwork projects.

Gary built four book cases for us over a period of two weeks. He worked conscientiously, cleaned up after himself every evening and was a quiet and pleasant presence in the house - our children missed him when the work was finished! The finished work is excellent, with very good design. Gary ensured we were happy with every step of his work.

Gary arrived on time to assemble an outside storage shed. it was a fiddly job as the ground needed to be prepared first ( so it was level) and also the casing around our house cables needed to be unscrewed, shortened and lifted. I was impressed with how neatly the job was done and the shed fitted in snugly. He also kindly put up a curtain rail. He was courteous and willing and nothing seemed too much trouble. Gary has a rare ability to calmly problem solve tricky jobs swiftly. A grateful customer, Susan, London.

We needed a slight rework of our kitchen units to fill a cavity and fit a new dishwasher. Having spent months talking to all the big names (Wickes, Wren, IKEA etc), we always reached the same stumbling block which was that they wouldn’t do small job, so if we wanted a small rework we’d have to pay for the whole kitchen. Thankfully, we found Gary through Trusted Traders. He came over, took the measurements and took care of everything. Very happy with the finished product. Only thing that could have been better was the communication leading up to the job but in light of how happy we are with the work it’s only a very small issue. We’ll definitely be using Gary again.

My sliding kitchen door broke and stuck closed. Gary from BWS got it unstuck and help me work out the right parts to order, discussed approaches and then came back to put it all back together again. Great quality work and problem solving skills that meant the wall didn’t need to be opened up, making the whole thing much simpler. Highly recommended.

Gary fitted new front door letterbox , knocker and lock pullers on my Victorian front door. He had to make the letterbox opening bigger and it was quite a tricky job as the door is really heavy. He did a thorough job and I am really pleased with the results! Would highly recommend Gary and am sure I will use him again for any carpentry job I have in the future.

Gary did a great job building two new bookcases for me recently. He was very thorough in every aspect of his work, and I am delighted with the result. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

I'm very pleased with my new fitted wardrobes. Gary did a great job and they feel really good quality and exactly what I wanted. He took time to discuss the design with me and he was punctual and tidy while he was doing the work. I would happily recommend.

Gary recently completed a number of jobs for us, including fixing a broken door, repairing a staircase and fitting new locks. He did a brilliant job, always on time and going the extra mile to finish all the jobs to a high standard. I would highly recommend Gary and plan to use him again for jobs big and small.

Gary recently built, installed and painted a bespoke wall unit in our living room. Gary did a fantastic job and we are very pleased with the result. He took time and trouble to measure and design accurately. His work was never rushed and he is clearly a craftsman who takes pride in his work. He accommodated changes we requested during the build without complaint talking us through our options. I quickly felt I could trust Gary and I was happy to leave Gary working alone in our house while I conducted personal business. I would use Gary's services again without hesitation for any future joinery work we may need.

Kitchen cupboard and meter cupboard made exactly to the requested specification. High quality work. Gary was very helpful and courteous.

Gary did a sterling job installing our kitchen, albeit there were a few problems (not of his making) which he overcame in a professional way. Gary arrived on time and cleaned up at the end of the day. The kitchen looks superb now it is finished and we are delighted with it. I would recommend and use BWS Joinery Services again.

Took real care over the job and didn’t cut corners. Reasonable rates and willing to look at any job you need doing. will definitely use again.

Gary is a professional carpenter and I have no hesitation in recommending his services. Gary was happy to offer solutions for otherwise tricky jobs and does not cut corners. Pleasure to work with.

Gary Jackson rebuilt some faulty sliding doors for me, he was fantastic! It was a very difficult job, but nothing seemed to faze him, he worked through the problems calmly and logically. He is a great carpenter,who does precise professional work. He cleaned and tidied up at the end of every day while on site. He arrived when he said he would and kept in contact at all times. Himself and his work colleague (Yeano) were a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble for them, so I have no hesitation in recommending Gary, and I will use him again in the future if needed.

Gary and Jeno built a wardrobe with new doors, also a shelving unit with matching doors which were also painted and then they decorated my spare room. They did all the woodwork in situ, clearing up every night. The work was beautifully done and with attention to detail. They are very nice people and I am very pleased with my new bedroom.

Gary created and installed a wooden door for an arched opening between two rooms in my house. The door is beautifully crafted, and Gary did an outstanding job installing it, including coming back over the weekend to complete the installation. He's friendly, takes time to explain what he's doing, and left everything clean and tidy. Highly recommended. DD, London

Gary built integrated shelving in our living room to house TV, Sky box etc. He totally understood what we were trying to achieve and made helpful suggestions. Gary was meticulous and tidy (he is also a nice bloke and easy to have in the house). He is a professional and takes pride in his work. He did a great job and we are delighted with the finished result. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

Gary did a really nice job of creating a cupboard to house my boiler. He was great with giving me ideas & options. He was fast & very tidy. A very nice guy too. The whole job turned out to be a pleasure.

Gary visited us to install two built in wardrobes for our bedroom. He was helpful in selecting our design to match the features of our room and our storage needs. He turned up when he said he would, kept the house neat and tidy and the quality of the finish is very good. We're very happy with our wardrobes and would happily recommend Gary to others.

Gary came and built three fitted wardrobes for me. He came when he said he would, worked very efficiently, is a very pleasant man, was as neat as possible and great at keeping me updated. The wardrobes have a simple modern design which could be quite unforgiving of errors but they are mm perfect so much so that friends, family and even other trades people have commented on the quality of his work.

Thoroughly professional. Very good work. Helped plan and make clear what we were doing. Very pleased with the result.

Gary made and fitted alcove units and floating shelves for me and I'm very happy with the finished product. His work was to a high standard and he always paid attention to detail, ensuring that the job was completed properly, without rushing. I think Gary takes a sense of pride in his work and it shows. Thoroughly nice chap to talk to and get along with too.

Gary built and fitted the casing for a new boiler and made significant changes and improvements to a bedroom cupboard. He is a pleasant man, a good worker and an excellent craftsman. Highly recommended.

Garry from Bespoke Woodwork Services built and fitted custom designed cupboards and book shelves for our study. He completed the work on time to a very high standard perfectly matching the grain and colour to the Oak Door leading to the room as we had asked. His attention to detail was impressive. We shall certainly consider using him again in the future and have no hesitation at all in recommending this very talented cabinet maker.

Gary did an excellent job of fitting shelving in my Victorian terrace uneven alcoves. Works to a high standard and cares about the finished product.

I'm only recommending Gary because he asked me to, and he's too nice to say no to! Usually when I find a trader this good I keep them a secret because they're so hard to come by... Gary built fitted wardrobes for our bedroom. Where others had said it wasn't possible to build drawers infront of a chimney breast, he did it with no concerns at all. He listened when we said we wanted to stick to a set budget and made recommendations to help reduce the cost, and he offered much better value than many of the other people who quoted. He was tidy and polite, the only reason he gets four stars for customer service is because he was late the first few times we met him, but I'm being very picky! The wardrobes themselves are fantastic - good quality, well built and look brilliant. Thanks Gary! Please don't get too busy as we'll need you back soon!

I can't recommend Gary highly enough. His work is top-notch and he is reliable, fair and always happy to help. He is really pleasant to work with and very trustworthy. I have already recommended him to friends who live locally.

After considerable searching, it was with relief that I found Gary who was immediately genuinely interested in my kitchen renovation plans. Firstly, he gave great advice and, secondly, was willing to liaise, order and store materials until the job date which was very useful. He clearly new his trade inside out and the job could not have gone any smoother. A once tired kitchen is now bang up-to-date, finishing is spot on, and all done on a budget. I am very happy with his work and wouldn't hesitate to use again or recommend him to anyone.

Gary was very polite, efficient and organised. The quality of his work is thorough and outstanding. I explained the problem to him relating to the damaged dining chairs, I emailed him photos of the problem. I found his quote for the repairs to be reasonable and his explanation of what the work entailed. He came round and collected the chairs and took them away to be repaired at his workroom. One week later they were returned in full working order. I am extremely satisfied with his work to the extent that I have already booked Gary for some further work around the house. I would not hesitate to recommend BWS services.

Gary and Marcus over 2 weeks created a great kitchen at a vey reasonable price, arriving on tine each day and cleaning up before they left it was a pleasure to work with them, and they had experience and good advice, 10 out of 10 and I will use them again - highly recommended Paul New Cross SE14

Gary helped give our 10yr old Moben kitchen units a facelift by replacing the doors and building some custom sized units. The doors had to be ordered as they were not standard size. The level of service provided was excellent and the work was of high quality at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend BWS.

We would highly recommend BSW: Gary's work is professional and tidy, he goes that bit extra to create a good finish and his rates are reasonable. We called Gary to come and sort out some heavy oak floating shelves we had tried to fit ourselves, and messed up - he rectified the mistakes efficiently, now they are as good as new and look beautiful. He also created some bespoke wooden edgings for our Victorian fireplaces, which also look excellent. We would definitely recommend him to anyone else, he is a pleasant, knowledgeable workman to have around, and he would be our first choice for any carpentry or joinery work we need in the future!
