We are so happy with our lovely new storage cupboards under the stairs. Gerry provided us with a prompt quote, stuck to the agreed start date and price and was friendly and professional throughout. Gerry and Daniel did a fantastic job and we would highly recommend. They really are very skilled!

Gerry has done an amazing job in moving our bathroom from one room to another and creating a room for walk-in-wardrobe in the old bathroom in just 3 weeks. He really took his time to understand what we were after and ensured throughout the project we were happy with the work and placement of furniture etc. We are delighted by the result and very impressed it only took 3 weeks. His helper was a young chap called Daniel, who was super friendly and also an energetic worker. I would highly recommend Gerry and his crew and would use again.

Gerry project managed the entire renovation of our, now 3 bedroom flat, he was a delight to work with and completed the huge job to perfection. The project included; rewiring, plastering, creation of a partition wall to create a new third bedroom, new boiler and radiators throughout, hanging new doors, new bathroom, new kitchen, restoration of the original coving, new skirting boards in keeping with the original, as well as bespoke wardrobes, shelving units and cupboards throughout. The project was flawlessly managed, the budget was discussed at the start and kept to, the project ran on time and all workmen were punctual and reliable. Every detail was thought of and we could not be more thrilled with the final result. Gerry is honest, dependable and a highly skilled carpenter who makes beautiful pieces that you will treasure. I could not recommend a better man for the job!

Complete removal and replacement of an old kitchen, which included dealing with electrics, ceiling and floor replacement and coordination of boiler renewal. This was done efficiently and very effectively. Communication was excellent throughout. Our needs were considered carefully and any issues arising from working on an older building were managed through skilled problem solving. Decision-making was well supported through discussion with Gerry that reflected his experience and skill. Gerry and his friendly team do a great job. They were skillful, tidy and punctual.

Gerry and his team spent two weeks working on our kitchen and it was a pleasure to have them onboard. Despite opting for a cheaper kitchen model that required additional work to fit, Gerry possesses excellent carpentry skills and was able to manipulate the materials to provide us with even more space than the kitchen planners had accounted for. Every finish was done to a high standard and they made sure to clean the site at the end of each day which makes a real difference when living in a flat. I would absolutely employ Heron Carpentry again and have recommended them to family and friends.

Gerry did a fantastic job fitting our kitchen. From his first visit to provide the quote he understood what we were trying to achieve in terms of finish and cost and made suggestions accordingly. He worked with Howdens, who supplied the kitchen, to make sure everything was in order and delivered on schedule. He started the work on time and finished both ahead of schedule and on budget. He was incredibly easy to deal with throughout, including coordinating other tradespeople. Friends commented on how relaxed we were despite the building work which was largely down to Gerry! I would very happily work with him again and would highly recommend him.

Gerry fitted a new kitchen in my flat in Crystal Palace in the weeks leading up to Christmas. I am delighted with the end result. From my initial dealings with him, he was consistently very professional & diligent. He was also flexible and very helpful as I don't live full time at the flat so needed him to look after keys and sometimes be available to let other tradespeople into the flat. He also worked around a new window installation in the kitchen which required the kitchen fitting to be done to specific dates. I'd have no hesitation in recommending him and his quote was competitive and accurate.

Kitchen Island and Rehinged Door

I found Gerry Heron through Trustedtraders as I needed a door replaced that had fallen off a worn door jam. It was a challenging job, but Gerry came up with a great solution. At the same time I discussed with him the idea of installing a kitchen island to add storage and an extra worktop. No problem, he said, and came up with a plan, reasonable estimate and work schedule. Bottom line — he did a great job on both, and I love the island. He works to schedule, no faffing about, and bonus - he has a wonderful sense of humour. He is definitely top of the list for doing more jobs in future.

I have just had 2 Edwardian cabinets made for either side of a fireplace by Heron Carpentry, and have been very pleased with the result. The cabinets are beautifully made, and Gerry and his team were extremely professional to work with. They were hardworking and communication about style, size etc was very good. Heron Carpentry want the customer to be very satisfied with their product, and deliver it on time and within budget. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Heron did a brilliant job of fitting 10 new internal doors and a new loft hatch. Gerry and Charlie were hard working, friendly and tidy. They also made suggestions for minor alterations which would make life easier for us which was a great help. I would not hesitate to recommend them and am already looking to book them again to refloor our loft.

Gerry has recently fitted a new kitchen and bathroom in our home. We have been delighted with the quality of the work and the finish.

Gerry installed some understairs storage for me, on budget and on time. He made helpful suggestions as to the design so I now have functional and practical storage that is also attractive to look at. He also fixed some broken door handles free of charge which is most appreciated. He left my home neat and tidy. I am very happy with the result and definitely would use him again.

Gerry fitted our kitchen - effectively project managing a team to strip out an old kitchen, replaster the room, then fit the new one - and he made us built in wardrobes from scratch for our bedroom. Communication was excellent throughout, the work was done on time and to a very high standard, and Gerry was good company and 100% reliable to have in the house. I would recommend very highly for any carpentry or related work required in the south-east London area.

Great work - home bouldering wall
Customer Service
Quality
Value
I am a keen climber, and asked Gerry if he could build a small bouldering wall in my garden so I can practice at home. He did a great job which included planning the build to ensure that the wall fitted well in the available space, which was quite limited as I do not have a large garden. In addition, his planning ensured that the wall was robust and safe and fell within planning permission requirements. Gerry was punctual, hard working and very pleasant, and - most importantly - his work was excellent. Whereas other home bouldering walls often feel a bit unstable, mine feels completely secure. For climbers who are interested , the wall itself is a bit bigger than a "mini moonboard": the main board (made from marine ply) is 10ft long and 8ft wide, with a small kickboard underneath. The board is at an angle of 40 degrees (from the vertical). This was the size that fits best in my garden, but Gerry could do something bespoke for others, depending on how much space is available. I appreciate that this was a really unusual job and it was only really possible with Gerry's considerable expertise.

Gerry built beutiful fitted wardrobes for my new bedroom and completed other building works, including insulating an external wall. Initially, I chose Gerry for his good communication skills and his competitive quote. On first impression, I thought he was someone I could trust and talk with. He gave me valualbe advice but also listened to my needs. Adjustments made along the way did not pose problems. The work was completed according to schedule. Gerry is clearly an experienced and skilled craftsman. Most importantly, he was a pleasure to have working in my home. I will be using his services again and I would heartily recommend him to others.

Gerry has done two jobs for us - both completed above our expectations. The first job was renovating a section of waney wooden cladding on the front of our house which had rotted over time. Gerry sourced and fitted the replacement cladding which now blends in perfectly with the original cladding. Gerry also designed and fitted a new corner walk-in corner pantry cupboard which looks as though it was always a part of our existing shaker style kitchen. Gerry is friendly, tidy, punctual and works hard to get things done in the time he has planned. Gerry is clearly an expert carpenter and I highly recommend him.
