Paul English Carpentry & Property Maintenance

Paul replaced large sections of my chipboard loft flooring which had become loose over time and were creaking when walked over. The whole job from initial inspection, through to completion was carried out smoothly and with great attention to detail. As the job progressed, he took the trouble to explain to me some small "tweaks" he needed to make to the planned work in order to ensure a first class finish to the job. All done to time and cost and I now have a "silent" loft floor once again. I couldn't be happier.

Paul replaced my banisters together with doors to a cupboard. He made sure he understood what I wanted and purchased the designs he thought would suit the house best. He helped me keep costs down by delivering the wood, together with knotting and primer/undercoat, in time for me to paint them before they were assembled, so that the painting would be easier for me. He arrived when he said he would and every day kept me updated about what he intended to do. He takes great pride in his work and I felt I could trust his skill and judgement as a carpenter to do a great job. I am extremely happy with the result and delighted that it was done so quickly and easily for a reasonable price. He is very professional and a pleasure to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

I needed a uPVC door removing and replacing with a fire door. Paul's work was excellent, he was very courteous when I had questions and he left the area clean afterwards. The Building Regulations inspector was happy with the work as well.

A beautiful job was done on a difficult repair. Paul made every effort to complete the work before the cold weather set in which would have delayed it. He clearly brought to the job a lot of experience of the properties of the materials he was using and made recommendations as to how to avoid deterioration of the cills in future.

Did not reply to my email which explained what I needed and asking whether he could do the job.

We sourced Paul English using Which trusted traders. At our request, Paul visited us to discuss our decking which had been in situ for some fifteen years and had become unsafe. Paul showed us samples of different decking colours in both wood and composit. We accepted Paul’s quote and work commenced some weeks later. Paul and his team removed the existing decking and frame utilising some of the existing framing where possible. At all stages he offered ideas and advice as to the best approach to take and took on board our wishes. Paul always turned up when he said he would. He made us aware of the costings at an early stage so we did not over extend ourselves. Payment was made in stages. We are delighted with the finished work and would recommend Paul English.

I have used Paul for a number of projects around the house, principally installing built-in cabinets and kitchen cabinets. I have always found the level of work to be exceptionally high and the attention to detail meticulous. Paul is very good at giving you design ideas and ways of going about a project that you might not have thought of. He has recently installed a panel of inbuilt kitchen doors to hide a pantry area and the difference to the kitchen was immediate and the cost was extremely competitive as opposed to going to a national kitchen company who would not bring the same level of rigour to the project Paul is very thorough in his prep and the build so you know the build is being done properly. Thoroughly recommend.

Paul was recommended to us by our electrician a year ago, but we had not had cause to use his services until now. We are so pleased we kept his contact details. We found him to be very knowledgeable person, reliable and respectful of our home. He hung a new back door for us, a cupboard door and repaired a curtain pole. We will certainly use Paul again, he is a very good carpenter and a pleasant and trusted person to have in your home.

Paul repaired some stairs for us. From my initial enquiry by telephone it was obvious he was experienced and the right person for the job. Paul carried out the work quickly and efficiently and I would have no hesitation in recommending him. I shall certainly use him again should a need arise for the various services he can provide.

Paul English has worked for us many times over the years, always to our complete satisfaction. Having moved house last year, we have needed him for a long list of carpentry jobs, including fitting new doors throughout the house and constructing shelves in awkward spaces. As ever, he has been punctual, polite and considerate and the quality of his work is excellent. We would certainly recommend him.
