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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

New subflooring after a slow leak

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!

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.

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.

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.

Work began on the agreed date and time, and it was carried out efficiently and without mess.

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!).

Custom / purpose built wardrobes
Customer Service

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.

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.

Good with Wood (Kevin Brosnan) made a bespoke bedroom wardrobe in an alcove. He advised us on options and recommended a mirror insert in the central door. He was trustworthy, punctual, clean and tidy, courteous and polite and finished the job ahead of schedule. Most of all the craftmanship was of a very high standard. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services.

We have completed a refurbishment on our house. Given this was our first time doing a project were somewhat apprehensive about finding tradesmen who would be reliable and honest. We were introduced to Kevin from Good with Wood and were thoroughly delighted with his work. Kevin has done a number of jobs from skirting boards to resizing doors to changing front foor locks to boxing in pipes to repairing/replacing floorboards and many more. All work has been completed to a very high standard. Kevin is always on time, works efficiently and with a keen eye for detail and is thoroughly professional. He is also a lovely fellow who is happy to advise on other things which we knew little about. I would not hesitate to personally recommend Kevin to anyone for jobs whether it be managing a large project or doing smaller things.

Kevin at Good with Wood has done many projects for us - bookcases, tricky wooden floor solutions, even trickier repair work to a wooden conservatory, and rebuilt the top part of the rear extension to our house which required a fireplace removal, new roof and rebuilding an office and bathroom. The work is always excellent, done just how we wanted it, on time and well priced. Always our first choice.

Kevin was able to do some work in my flat to adjust some features in my kitchen which included doing some woodwork in the attic. Very punctual, experienced and provided some really good advice on what could be done. He even arranged for another tradesman to sort out an electrical job at the same time. Work was carried out swiftly, professionally and I was very pleased with the result. Would highly recommend Kevin and would be happy to use him again in the future.

Great service by great local business. Kevin responded to my enquiry on time, gave me a quotation that was clear and with enough detail to work with. He built some great alcove cabinets and shelving and replaced the skirting boards and architrave in the lounge, built in bunk bed in the bedroom and ended up replacing the floor in the lounge due to some woodworm found. His work is well done, neat and tidy and finished to a high standard. Highly recommended

I enquired via the Good with Wood website and got an immediate response, visit and quote to replace my side gate. The gate was 8 years old, deteriorating and difficult to open. Kevin planed down the side of the gate to make it easier to use until he could do the work. He ordered the new gate, built a barrier above it for increased security, painted it and refitted the lock and handles. He was extremely good at keeping in touch about the work, and a very punctual, tidy and pleasant worker. Good (electronic) paperwork too. I will definitely use him again.

We used Kevin for various carpentry works around the house and mainly to build storage shelves in our utility room. Kevin provided a very good service. He was punctual and reliable. Perhaps a bit pricier than others, but you get what you pay for. He was very clear about the work he intended to do, helpful with his advice and ideas, and turned up on time, completed works within the agreed timescale, was tidy and finished the work to a very good standard. We would highly recommend him.

Kevin came at the appointed time to look at the job and sent his quote the next working day. We wanted skirting board fitted, pipes boxed in and kick boards/plinths trimmed and fitted. Kevin fitted us in earlier than he had first indicated and arrived on time, completed the work satisfactorily and was clean and tidy. He was considerate about ensuring that he protected the flooring and furniture. I would recommend Kevin.

Kevin did excellent work for me, firstly neatly boxing in new pipework in an awkward corner of my kitchen and secondly repositioning and remounting a heavy outdoor fence. He was also willing to do small maintenance oddjobs throughout my flat. He arrived on time, was cheerful and tidy , did neat work, and volunteered constructive suggestions for getting round problems. His charges seem reasonable but he came with a recommendation and I did not get alternative quotations.
