Gerry fitted our Howdens kitchen for us and did a fantastic job. His work was all of a high standard and he is very trustworthy. Gerry was really flexible in his working hours, staying quite late one evening to ensure that we had running water in the kitchen over the weekend. We are so pleased with the work and would definitely use him again. We would highly recommend Gerry.

We had Gerry and Dan build a coat cupboard and storage dining bench in our newly refurbished house. Gerry also hung several reclaimed doors for us. We are very happy with the work. Gerry and Dan were respectful of our home, including that we had to work while they were there, and most importantly, they always shut the door so the dogs didn't run out! Gerry worked with us on the design of the pieces being built eg the shape of the shelves and adding ventilation to the bench to allow airflow for electrical equipment being kept in it. He was always accommodating of our bespoke requirements. This was especially true with the reclaimed doors, which threw some curve balls given they weren't pristine and Gerry adapted the doorframes to make it work. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Gerry was a pleasure to work with. We needed a bespoke cupboard fitted to hide our boiler and he came over to assess what we wanted and gave great advice. He was communicative, helpful, efficient and produced great work. I wouldn't hesitate to book him again for another carpentry job.

Gerry his fitters were excellent & very helpful at absorbing extra work at short notice. Gerry communicated well though his final invoice was confusing compared with his quotations. Most unfortunately the plumber Gerry recommend started well but fell apart at sink installation, series of leaks meant 2 more visits, so job unnecessarily prolonged.

Kitchen fitting bad experience!

We are still discovering issues with the fitting of our kitchen and utility, months after Heron Carpentry left. Poor cuts/drilling, alignment issues, corner posts incorrectly fitted with units overlapping, holes drilled in the wrong place on our new fridge door, doors put on the wrong way around, poorly fitted sinks with packers left on show, damaged units and panels. See photographs on Google reviews (under ‘Heroes Carpentry’). I have spent a considerable amount of time and money trying to correct some of the above. Many of these issues were discussed with Gerry at the time and he did cover the cost of replacing three doors that were put on the wrong way. We didn’t ask Heron Carpentry back to complete the remaining work quoted for. I don’t like posting negative reviews but we have been so disappointed with the quality of workmanship and relied on the 5 star reviews when choosing Heron Carpentry.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. As can be seen from our other reviews, Heron Carpentry has always prided itself on a high level of customer satisfaction, and we would have welcomed the opportunity to discuss any concerns you had so that we could resolve these to your satisfaction. Unfortunately, you did not discuss your concerns and we did not have the opportunity to resolve matters for you. There were changes to the original specification you required during the works that were non-standard and did cause a number of challenges, which were raised with you during the work. Although I accept that there may have been a misunderstanding in determining your exact requirements. As you would not give us the opportunity to complete the amended specification, we did make a goodwill payment to you to buy new fridge doors for installation by another contractor. We would have been happy to return to complete work to your satisfaction if you had allowed us to. I’m sorry that on this occasion you feel we fell short of our usual high standards; however, as stated above, customer satisfaction is key to us, and our commitment to keeping our customers happy will always be of utmost importance to us. As a Trusted Trader, our consumers have access to the Trusted Traders' complaints process and an Alternative Dispute Resolution Service, should a customer be dissatisfied with our work.
