Good With Wood (London) Ltd

Kevin responded quickly to my enquiry and called round to inspect and quote for the job. Although it was a fairly small but necessary repair to a window he gave it the same care and priority as a larger project and was very pleasant and helpful. I would certainly use him again.

Thank you, yet another fabulous design, construction and installation of our bedroom wardrobes which has left us delighted. This is the second time we have used ‘Good With Wood’ and with no hesitation we will be using them again. Highly recommended. Be seeing you soon Kevin with many thanks.

Kevin was very responsive, was able to fit us in at short notice, and did a great job replacing a door, taking care to make sure it fitted well despite some issues he discovered, and leaving the area neat and clean. Would recommend.

Kevin and his team did a fantastic job. Cupboards were designed to our exact needs, no lost space due to standard sizes that you get with some companies. Kevin listened to what we wanted, gave his expert opinion and helped us come up with the perfect design. They were installed swiftly and efficiently and were super clean and tidy. I would definitely use Kevin again and would highly recommend him to anyone.

I called Kevin Brosnan from Good with Wood (London) Limited. He told me straightway what he would do, there was no waiting around for an answer which was very much appreciated, Kevin is a very friendly and honest person. Did the job very professionally and is a very tidy worker. I would definitely recommend him to others so thank you Kevin for doing a great job.

Kevin was quick to respond to my enquiry and carried the works out soon after. Very happy with the final results and would highly recommend!

Kevin is the most professional and helpful tradesperson you could wish for. Kevin and his colleague Gary, installed seven fire doors in our home every door closing perfectly, his care and attention is second to none. Everything about his work, and the way he conducts his business is impeccable. Thank you, Kevin

Kevin came to see if my oak table could be dismantled prior to a move. He explained what he was doing but ultimately was unable to dismantle it. He was very professional and left the table in its original state.

I have used Kevin and his team have on numerous occasions and each time they delivered an extremely high standard of work. Most recently this was a complete refurbishment of my bathroom following poor workmanship by a previous builder. I had every confidence in Kevin and was not disappointed. They endured every aspect of the work was completed to an excellent standard and the finish of the bathroom is second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Kevin undertook a total refurbishment a our property in Ealing last year. Every aspect of the work (too much to list) from quotes to completion was undertaken professionally, safely, on schedule and to budget. The end result is first class, but particularly the fitted Kitchen, Living Room storage/tv units, flooring throughout and newly hung doors. He also provided great contacts for other tradespersons and managed the scheduling of all trades seemlessly. Highly recommended.

This was a five star job. I am satisfied at all levels, prompt response to initial enquiry, protection throughout the work area, the job, boxing in awkward pipework with a discreet inspection hatch plus installing curtain poles - was completed on time and to budget, my house left spotlessly clean and tidy. Altogether a prompt, pleasant and professional job.

We hired Kevin to rebuild (and strengthen) the floor of a kitchen cupboard which houses a washing machine. The cupboard was difficult to access and the washing machine also required levelling - not an easy task. He quickly assessed the problem and did a top quality job at very short notice and in record time. We would definitely hire him again for carpentry work and highly recommend him. Thanks Kevin.

Kevin Brosnan from Good with Wood did work for us recently. We recommend his service to anyone who needs bespoke carpentry done. It was a pleasure to have someone carry out a small home decoration project where we could have full confidence in having the job expertly carried out. We had several carpentry tasks to be done. The list grew longer once we saw Kevin and his colleague Gary in action. Initially he came to the flat to survey what we wanted and give us an estimate. We were immediately impressed that he was happy to advise and guide on the best way to do what was required. The quote arrived on time, was comprehensive, detailed, and good value. The job started on time with minimal disruption to our everyday life and very tidy. To create more storage space we had shelving installed in 3 cupboards – these were really well fitted and a lot of thought went into their layout in tricky spaces. It certainly created the extra storage space we craved. We also had a fitted wardrobe designed and built. This went very well, fitting in very nicely in a smallish bedroom, giving loads of wardrobe space. We also especially love a floor to ceiling narrow bookcase - installed with shelves of different heights according to our requirements. It looks wonderful. The floating shelves made for the kitchen were so successful that we had another two installed. Other work included two fanlight windows that have brightened the rooms. We are delighted with how the entire project went.

Kevin installed two alcove cupboards and shelving units in our living room, either side of a chimney breast. It was done quickly and neatly and really impressed with the final result. Kevin have some great advice during the consultation, helped me decide measurements and colour, and was easy to contact throughout. He also gave great advice for aftercare including painting, and was also very patient and understanding when I had to delay due to needing to isolate! Would strongly recommend to anyone.

Let down by several other tradesmen, but Kevin came when he said he would and repaired some faults that had annoyed us for years, especially a well-rotted summerhouse door. All done efficiently and cheerfully by Kevin and Gary at a price we were happy to pay. We recommended him to our neighbour, and she was also very happy with their work. Thanks a lot guys!

Extremely professional and work done to high standards. Kevin was very accommodating of my availability and unusual arrangements to access the property. I felt I could trust Kevin and was fully satisfied with the fair pricing and overall experience. Fully recommended

Kevin has done work for my family for many years. I recently engaged him for two jobs: to make and fit a window seat with soft-close drawers and tongue-and-groove paneling; and to make and fit a new front door. The carpentry on both jobs is exceptional. Kevin won't compromise on quality. He quoted quickly and communicated clearly - including when we experienced inevitable delays on parts. He also advised me when I would be better off abandoning another bespoke project on the grounds of cost, which was much appreciated. No rip-offs here! Helpful, personable, highly skilled and a pleasure to have around.

Kevin built fitted wardrobes and storage for our bedroom, he was great from start to finish. He offered advice on design and his expertise ensured we got the best use out of the space with maximum storage. We loved the design on paper but the wardrobes and units are even better than we hoped for. The house was protected with carpet and floor coverings whilst the work was carried out and the job was completed on time with the minimum disruption. Kevin’s work is of the highest standard and we would not hesitate to recommend him.

Kevin was instructed to hang three bedroom doors. Kevin was polite and informative. Kevin had a good attention to detail. Despite our house being rather wonky Kevin was able to ensure that the doors hung right, closed well and looked good. He ever trimmed a couple of extra doors that kept getting stuck. We will use Kevin again.

Towards the end of 2020, I noticed the floor in my hallway had been getting very spongy and bouncy and it had also started affecting my main bedroom floor as well. After reaching out to several different tradesmen who had been reluctant to get involved I contacted Kevin after finding him on here. Kevin came round straight away and offered to take a look at the floor to find out what was going on. He found a slow leak and immediately offered me the name of a plumber and said he would go away and think about what could be done. I was very anxious as I live by myself in an upstairs flat so my main concern was minimising the impact on my downstairs neighbour. Kevin helped reassure me and stayed in constant contact during the early days. Kevin is a tenacious problem solver and although the job was far from straight forward, he would always come back to me with great solutions after doing much research. His colleague Gary came with him to do the job. They removed all the compromised material and once the leaks were resolved and everything was dry they came back and fitted a new floor, complete with soundproofing and insulation. Kevin even came back once the carpet was down to help put the furniture back together for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Kevin, the level of communication throughout the job he provided was good, the quality of work is high, and Gary and Kevin are a pleasure to have working in your home.

I had a problem with a misaligned front door and was let down by one of London's leading locksmith companies in sorting it out. I got Kevin's name as a recommendation from a friend, but you can still have a concern about the person and quality of work. I need not have worried, Kevin does what it says on the tin, he is "Good with Wood". He arrived at the agreed time with a colleague Gary. They put down protection, got on with the job and cleared up wood shavings etc., afterwards. The result is a perfectly aligned front door and the discovery of a trusted trader that I will both use again and recommend. Thanks Kevin and Gary - great to meet you both!

Kevin and his team at Good with Wood built a fitted wardrobe, some custom shelves and a custom surf shed for me. All elements look better than I had even hoped. The job was completed quickly and has provided me with so much more space in my flat. Highly recommended.

Can’t recommend Kevin enough - he did a fantastic job building a set of in built shelves and cupboard for my bathroom. He was professional, friendly and tidy, and the end product was of excellent quality. He communicated well from start to finish, making good recommendations to us as to the approach. Five stars!!

Kevin supplied and fitted a bench top, base unit and pipe boxing into a small utility room. It was an awkward space to work in but he did a fantastic job, very professional and all finished to a very high standard. He was very friendly and helpful and everything was left clean and tidy. Would certainly recommend.

I needed a carpenter and joiner to install new skirting boards and architrave in my living room following replastering work. I also needed some kitchen pipework boxing in. Having received less than satisfactory work from a previous tradesman, I was a little wary about employing someone again. I needn't have worried: Kevin responded very promptly to my request for help and was good enough to make a site visit the same day. His obvious knowledge and experience combined with a friendly manner were very reassuring. Prior to commencement of the works, Kevin kept me updated regarding materials, etc. On the day, he arrived promptly and worked solidly and tidily, involving me whenever an important decision was required. My little Victorian cottage is rather quirky, but Kevin always found a solution to whatever problem was encountered, and with good humour. Once the works were completed, Kevin cleaned up thoroughly and gave me some very useful tips on how to decorate the new installations. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kevin Brosnan to my family and friends.

I have no hesitation in recommending Kevin and the quality of his work. He is efficient, clean, tidy, happy to explain exactly what the work involves and great at keeping in contact. I had a distressing situation, when a water pipe had to be laid under my sitting room floor. Kevin came the same day as my call for help, advised how access holes would need to be cut into the large tongue and groove floor panels. True to his word, when he replaced the panels, none were unstable, which had been my greatest concern. The floor is rock solid. He was happy to work around the pipe laying schedule and came out at short notice to cut an additional access hole, when a gas pipe needed repair during the job. I am most grateful for all his work and getting my home back to normal as fast as possible.

Soon after I contacted Kevin, he phoned and made an appointment to visit my home. When he visited, he took measurements for each job and discussed the options. During our conversation, I felt that he was skilled, knowledgeable, and honest. Once we both were clear about the work that was needed to be carried out, an e-mail was sent to me by Kevin quoting the cost of each job and a rough estimate of the time for completion. No request was made for a deposit prior to the commencement of the work. However, he was paid at the end of each stage of the project. Kevin is a pleasant man, punctual and reliable. He took great care to protect and cause little disruption as possible in the areas he worked. He worked diligently throughout the brief and left the property clean, with little mess as possible at the end of each day. After the work was completed, I found a few minor problems which he happily rectified. Kevin took great pride and care to complete the work to a high standard. I was very pleased with my doors and cupboard. I would recommend him highly.

We had a problem with a back door that wouldn't lock properly. Kevin came round the next day after the call, diagnosed the problem, gace us a reasonable price and came back the following day with all the relevant parts and did a quick and efficient job which solved the problem. He kept me in touch with progress, was very responsive to texts etc. Overall a very professional and friendly approach. Recommended

It has been a pleasure commissioning Kevin to build two wardrobes in my house. When I contacted Kevin, he was prompt in his reply and my first impression of him, when he came to my house to take measurements, was good. He was very earnest in making sure that he got all the measurements right and discussed all the different options available to me. On the first day of building the wardrobes, he made sure that my floor was covered properly and was very careful to not damage anything. I was impressed with how hard Kevin worked and how dedicated he was. The wardrobes were made on schedule, within budget and they are beautiful! Kevin’s attention to detail has met my obsessive attention to detail - I think I have met my match!

Good With Wood’s Kevin Brosnan replaced rotting spindles in a porch rail and boxed in pipes and gaps round a boiler in a very difficult- to-access space. I found Kevin a very knowledgeable, highly skilled, experienced and efficient craftsman and an excellent communicator. The spindles were the original Edwardian ones and, having discussed the options, Kevin took care to find replacements in a style complementary to the original when I decided to avoid the expense of bespoke ones. The work round the boiler was particularly challenging and Kevin went to great lengths to find and execute a solution, always consulting and keeping me involved. Once we agreed the date for carrying out the work, Kevin arrived on time and worked tirelessly without a break, cleaning up thoroughly after the jobs were done. A bonus was that the final cost came in below the agreed estimate. I have no hesitation in recommending Kevin as a consummate professional.

Kevin did a neat and professional job installing a new fitted kitchen worktop with sink for me. He made helpful suggestions to avoid the water damage I'd had with the previous layout, and kept me informed about what was needed to finish the work. I appreciated his willingness to work around some unexpected problems getting access to the kitchen.

This is the second job we asked Kevin to do for us and we are glad we secured him. As before, Kevin was helpful throughout the planning stage and he gave us good advice about how to create useful space. He turned the job around very quickly and completed the work to a high standard. We are extremely happy with the result. As usual, Kevin worked flexibly around our diaries, he was quick and left the site in a clean and tidy condition. We couldn't recommend him highly enough.

In the lead up and planning stage, Kevin was attentive, easy to get hold of, and happy to contribute his opinions to our ideas - very welcome as we had never 'designed' fitted wardrobes before. During the work, Kevin was great, and worked flexibly around times that suited us. We are extremely happy with the finished product. The wardrobes look great and feel solid as a rock. I would recommend him unreservedly to anyone in need of a carpenter. We envisage a couple more jobs in the future and Kevin will be the first person we call.

Kevin made a window seat for us. After the site visit he arranged to come back the next day and completed the job. We wanted a few changes which again he did very quickly. It looks great and has been finished to a very high standard. We are very happy with it and would definitely recommend him.

Having previously used Kevin for some fitted wardrobes we had no hesitation in contacting him again when we wanted some more wardrobes/cupboards in another room. Yet again we found Kevin's workmanship and professionalism excellent and there was no problem leaving him with a key to come and go as he needed. I have happily recommended Kevin to several friends - which is something I wouldn't do unless I was totally happy.

Kevin did a number of carpentry jobs for us including hanging a new kitchen door, fixing new door handles and locks, creating an understaff cupboard and making good the end of a staircase. He did an excellent job. Kevin is a perfectionist (like me) and his work was of a high standard. I will definitely use Kevin again in future.

We needed our cupboard under the stairs redone and wood panelling in the hallway. Our house is a Victorian terrace and to be honest pretty wonky in places. Kevin did an excellent job and seamlessly integrated everything. He is a strong communicator and comes with lots of ideas. Wouldn’t hesitate to use him again or recommend him to others.

Kevin has completed the bookshelves that we required with precision suggesting improvements where necessary which has enhanced them and thus created an excellent addition to our sitting room. We are now able to house a large portion of our library.

We wanted some fitted wardrobes for our bedroom which includes a particularly awkward corner with a ceiling that has all sorts of odd angles. We contacted Kevin because of the quality of feedback he had received via Trusted Traders and from our first contact with him through to the completed project he has proved that this feedback is well justified. We are absolutely delighted with the wardrobes and drawers he has made and fitted, it has also been a pleasure having him working in the house. Going out and leaving him to get on with it was never a concern. Kevin pre-fabricated as much as he could in his own workshop so that the amount of work he had to do on site was reduced, therefore there was less sawdust etc. Any mess was well cleared up every day, and protective covers were put down on the hall & stair carpets. To say it again, we are delighted our wardrobes and in common with another reviewer have started looking round the house to see what else he could do for us !

I first used Kevin’s services some 15 months ago to fit some unusual bespoke fire doors in my flat together with fitting a heavy solid wood door and making adjustment to other existing doors. I was so impressed by his level of workmanship and attention to detail I did not hesitate to use him again recently to make and fit book shelving for me. Kevin backs up his craftmanship with good advice – it was he who solved a problem I was having on how to keep the fire doors closed, and he again advised on suitable veneers for my book shelving – and fixed a problem when complications with the support framework I installed for the shelving resulted in brackets being out of alignment. During both projects he kept me informed as when he would do the work, consulted me where decisions were to be made, protected my flat while working and always tided up afterwards. He takes pride in his work and, in my experience, is indeed Good with Wood.

Kevin was highly recommended by a mutual friend for a replacement wooden floor to be re-instated after a flood to the kitchen area and to reintegrate the white goods etc. He attended the property at short notice early in the morning to save any inconvenience to the tenants and provided me with a fully comprehensive, competitive, quotation within a few hours of the site visit. He later on that evening provisionally booked the job in within two weeks. Once on site he arrived timely and ensured that all existing carpets were fully protected before comencement of works. He carried out the job professionally and to the highest standards and kept me updated of progress throughout the day. All in all and extremely personable and professional first class tradesman. Would highly recommend and definitely use for any future projects. Excellent all round.

We contacted Kevin because we needed fiddly bits of work doing: sorting out our front gate so that we didn't need to use two hands to close it; filling holes in our draughty front door; drilling holes in an under-stairs cupboard for ventilation. Kevin turned up for the estimate on time and was very good at suggesting solutions and sent his written estimate through promptly. He was good at communicating online and on the telephone when arranging a time to carry out the works. The quality of the work is excellent and makes us wish we had done it years ago. Tidy, polite, reliable, definitely not the cheapest but worth the expense. Very, very pleased.

We needed a very 'sad' internal door to be made secure and were only available at limited times. Kevin fitted in with the time restriction without demur and completed the initial job with intelligent care. We took up his sensible suggestion for further work on the front door at reasonable cost. Our contact with Kevin was at all times pleasant and professional and you should not hesitate to get in touch with him.

Kevin came to the rescue when I had been let down by another carpenter. He was really helpful in creating shelves I wanted with sunken (invisible) sockets. He took the time to discuss every aspect of the shelving and come up with ideas. I am really pleased with my shelves which I can now populate with my possessions - some requiring electricity! His communications were good and he always carried through what he said he would do. I always knew where I was with him. I now have plans to use him for cupboards and drawers when go up in my loft. There a a lot of cynical workers out there and Kevin is not one of them - he is a real find! I highly recommend him.

We needed a kitchen seating bench and some alcove cabinets and shelving built and fitted. Kevin promptly came to assess the job and provided a competitive quote. Kevin was reliable and prompt throughout the duration of the work and the finished product is of a very high standard. We would certainly use Kevin again and we would definitely recommend him.

We have an original wooden door in an Edwardian-era terraced house which was in a poor state. Kevin carefully restored the door adding seals, new and improved locks, handle, letterbox and rehung it in the frame so there are no longer gaps and draughts blowing through. The work required multiple visits and Kevin kept me informed throughout. I would be happy to recommend his services.

We asked Kevin to quote for the refurbishment of our ten year old kitchen, and to remedy a number of other issues which had arisen since our 2006/7 rebuild. He turned up as arranged, and following a fairly detailed discussion of our requirements, he provided the promised itemised quotation within 10 days. Work began on the agreed date and time, and it was carried out efficiently and without mess. All of the items quoted for were dealt with as required, as were a number of other issues which we subsequently added to the list. The quality of the joinery items...additional new shelves and drawers was good...and our house is functioning again entirely to our satisfaction. The costs were in line with the original quotation, and there was no pressure for payment. Our overall experience was excellent and we would definitely have Kevin back for more of the same.

When I contacted Kevin, he came round promptly and provided a quote. He was very efficient, knowledgeable and professional and, having decided to accept his quote, he carried out the work to suit our timescale and, as less work was needed than was originally thought, he charged much less than we had been quoted. He is obviously very experienced, a pleasure to have around and his timekeeping and workmanship were excellent. I am hoping to have Kevin back to carry out some work in our "understairs" to provide better storage access. I would thoroughly recommend him - honest, reliable and great time-keeping (not something I could say about some other people who've carried out work for us!).

Kevin fitted some bookshelves in our living room and did an excellent job. The work was carried out in a timely manner and to a high standard and Kevin was very professional throughout. I would certainly recommend him to others.

Very pleased with all the work carried out by Kevin, he is very helpful with recommendations and is very Professional and gave Excellent service. Would thoroughly recommend Kevin. We had spindles fitted and had new doors fitted has well.

Kevin provided an excellent service in the design, manufacture and installation of two large custom built wardrobes to accommodate clothing, linen, sports goods and other general storage. Both Kevin and his work colleague Terry were courteous at all times and always involved myself and partner on any queries and/or design intricacies that arose during the process. The house was kept clean at all times and our own and pets' safety was always adhered to; this was important given the number of tools and large, heavy items which were brought into the house. The project was completed on time and on budget and we would fully recommend Kevin and his team at 'Good With Wood (London) Ltd'. Please note that Kevin and his team do not provide decoration services directly, and although this was detailed in Kevin's original quote for us, any decoration works, including painting of units, needs to be sourced separately or via recommendation through Kevin.

Kevin has done much work for us over the years. Ten years ago he made a bespoke kitchen - which still works well, looks fantastic and receives endless compliments - and then recently added some extra cupboards. The quality of his work, attention to detail, timekeeping etc. are superb. Highly recommended and excellent value!

Thoroughly recommend Kevin. He fixed our banisters which were wobbly and unsafe and squeaky stairs with the help of his friend, at no extra cost to that which he had originally quoted. Also custom- made a tv cabinet and floating shelves and did an excellent job. Also draft-proofed our front door which is much better. He was very amenable and helpful with recommendations. Well worth the money.

Kevin was available at short notice to take measurements and provide a quote. When we accepted his offer he was able to come within our preferred time frame and delivered a quality result. He is very aware of what his customer wants to achieve and has clearly a lot experience.

Would definitely recommend Kevin, he was thorough, trust-worthy and ensured the end products - replaced cupboard doors, new wardrobe and replaced kitchen worktops - were just what we wanted. He took our original ideas and worked with us to create more effective solutions. He left everything clean and tidy afterwards, particularly when needing to cut indoors. Not sure how he compares price-wise to others, but reliable and gave a superb outcome. He was also great at recommending appropriate plumbers, tillers and worktop suppliers, which makes a massive difference.

We had Kevin fit some original internal porch doors and build the frame off which to hang them. We checked the neighbours' for period design cues and the work was complete in a couple of days. He did a fantastic job, especially given the warp and twist that the doors had seen over the years in an outside shed. While in the house we also asked him to put back some other original features including skirting and shelving, this was done very neatly and matching the existing style. We're very pleased and will certainly go to Kevin for further work.
