Roy has built us a very handsome library and three excellent wardrobes. And he had been a joy to have around. He works hard, fast and meticulously, always tidying up at the end of the day. He is a perfectionist. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Roy made several alcove cupboards and shelves for us, as well as replacing an ugly window frame. We couldn't be happier with the work he did. The whole process - from initial contact to completion - was very smooth. Roy really listened to what we wanted and found ways of getting around uneven walls and odd angles to create very beautiful units. He also offered some great advice, based on years of experience. He takes pride in his work and it shows. We're looking forward to working with him again in the new year.

Superb Quality Work

Roy has done a couple of small jobs for us before (cutting down some doors and repairing a cracked stair tread) and we have always been impressed with his work and work ethic. This time we asked him to remove some poor quality built-in wardrobes and replace them with larger ones that use the space better. These new cupboards would have sliding doors, adjustable shelving and hanging rails. We agreed the quote in advance and he stuck to the quote, even though he thoughtfully added some birch ply to sections of our mdf cupboards where he knew more hard-wearing wood would be required. Roy quotes by the job, rather than by the day/hour, which we preferred. We came up with the design together with Roy, and he was sensible and helpful in his suggestions e.g. it would be much more expensive if he were to install drawers in the cupboards so he found a way to incorporate the drawers we already had. When the time came to start work, he found a way to work around our unhelpful ceiling joists, generally wonky flooring and the work was completed much earlier than he predicted! What sets him apart from a lot of traders is his work ethic. He worked at a steady pace, barely stopping for lunch. At the end of each day he was absolutely scrupulous in tidying up, mindful that we had to sleep in the rooms that he was working on. I would not hesitate to recommend Roy and we have other work that we will be asking him back to complete.

Having had a new boiler installed that was much smaller than the old one, I was left with a tangle of pipework on full display in the kitchen. Boxing this in should have been simple but clearly wouldn’t be because of the odd shape created and it was difficult to see how it was going to be anything other than aesthetically unattractive. However, Roy to the rescue, he got a problem solving and I must say he did an excellent piece of work with what he found. He was pleasant to have around and easy to chat with, always important. I can wholeheartedly recommend him and his work. Many thanks Roy.

Installation of replacement kitchen unit

The sliding mechanism of drawers in a kitchen unit was failing. I looked at Which Trusted Traders and Called R.A.H. Carpentry. I was concerned that it was too small a piece of work. Over the telephone Roy made arrangements for a visit a few days later and, once, on site thought a new unit would be found and, most importantly for us, he would transfer the fronts of the drawers to the new unit thus maintaining the style of the kitchen. Roy came to install the new unit and we are absolutely delighted: no more struggle with the drawers and the same style we have liked for many years. Though not planned Roy was kind enough to change the hinges of our under sink unit as they were clearly wearing out. If we need any joinery or carpentry I will not hesitate a millisecond to call Roy. We are so grateful for what he has done.

He's made this superbly well, with so much care and attention to detail. He's flexible and talks through the job as you go in order to get the best end result. From the start he gives an accurate quote for the job, responds quickly to e-mails, begins the job on the day he says he will and sees it through to completion. He is hard working, cheerful and totally trustworthy. Roy is a great craftsman and I thoroughly recommend him.

Roy fitted 9 doors for us. He dealt with the problems that were due to me buying doors that were thinner than the originals with expertise and a smile. He kept us informed of any additional costs and advised on products to varnish the doors. Our bedroom door frame was a real pig but he came up with a solution. He tidied up each day before he left and despite the problems finished the job within the quoted timescale. Highly recommended.

Roy has now done a couple of jobs for us and I'd happily recommend him to others. He created shoe, boot and sports kit storage for me in existing boot room cupboards. The shoe storage was particularly challenging but Roy took the measurements, constructed some bits off site and then came to fit them. He has also just completed a library unit for us. In this job he has shown his true expertise, lattice work on cupboard doors so that the heat from the enclosed radiator can still circulate and lovely beading at the front of the unit. He arrives everyday when he say he will and leaves the space he's been working in clean and tidy everyday.

The Best
Customer Service
Quality
Value
Roy built floor-to-ceiling bookshelves along three walls in one room, then in another room built shelves that wrap around three walls. All these shelves are extraordinarily beautiful. The first job was quite challenging as the walls curve into the ceiling so the wood had to be cut to fit the curve. He also had to cut neatly through the backing to allow access to electrical outlets and in one case had to shift an outlet in the wall to accommodate a vertical board in the shelving. But Roy clearly enjoys a challenge. He is an artist in his work and would not be satisfied with less than his best. He is always cheerful and affable – and generous: he did a few odd jobs for us, such as repairing a gate and installing a bathroom fixture, without charging us. He is, in short, ideal in every way.

I initially employed Roy to install a kitchen in my main house. Roy worked hard to complete the task so that he had time to undertake a second task. He quickly picked up the intricacies of working with a new make of kitchen and had to overcome several obstacles to install it. Roy and I then travelled to London for two days during which he worked tirelessly to remove another kitchen. The owners builder had said that it would impossible to remove but Ray specialises in making the impossible possible and broke only one screw in the possible! It was an absolute pleasure to work with Roy. Nothing fazed him and he rose to every challenge the assignment threw at him. I would hesitate to recommend him for his skills, flexibility and attention to detail.

We asked Roy to completely redo one room of our house with paneling and book cases. He did an absolutely brilliant job achieving exactly what we wanted. It included making a trellised cover for the radiator and redoing the entrance door of the room as well as a the doors of an in built cupboard. Roy started on exactly the date he said he would and continued even during a lengthy absence on our part. He is very skilled, professional, reliable and entirely trustworthy. The best thing about him is that he seems to love what he does and gets real pride and satisfaction out of doing a great job. The materials he uses are very good - he doesn't do things on the cheap - and thus the results are top rate. We really can't praise him enough and would thoroughly recommend him to anyone considering using his services.

Mr Hogg did a excellent job making book shelves and re-fitting my airing cupboard. He sent a estimate promptly, came when he said he would to start the job and worked quietly and efficiently in the house. I am delighted with the work.

Roy just made a simple bookcase for me this time and it is perfect. He is an excellent craftsman. He is a delight to have around, arrives when he says he will and is 100% reliable. He has done other bigger jobs for me over the years and is thoroughly professional and always leaves the place clean and tidy. Previously he has installed a fiddly kitchen doing all the tiling, and created wooden cupboards and laid a wood flooring in a large living area adjoining the kitchen. I highly recommend him.

Roy has carried out two repair jobs for me over the past few months to a very high standard. Neither has been straightforward, but from initial visit through to completion he has been nothing less than a pleasure to work with. I know that I can trust him to simply get on with things and that he will ask about anything where the answer isn't obvious. I recommend him unreservedly despite this meaning that he might become too busy to fit my next job in when it comes along.

Roy has completed various jobs at our house from rehanging doors to creating a new wooden step as well as building shelves, desk and a built-in wardrobe. Nothing we have asked him to do has been too much trouble and he always comes up with great suggestions to ensure we get exactly what we were hoping for. He has done a fantastic job and we are so pleased with the end results. He is always punctual and extremely tidy in his work, but more than this he is a genuinely nice guy to have around. We can not recommend him highly enough.

Roy built two bookcases to fit into alcoves, and two cupboards to go around a boiler and a fusebox - not the easiest of jobs. Roy was extremely helpful with suggestions on design and practicality, and his workmanship is meticulous and detailed. He is a pleasure to have working in the house, and it is very relaxing to know the job is in good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Roy and his work.

Roy was a pleasure to have around, well maybe not the 07:30 start time, but he hit the ground running every morning and got through an amazing amount of work in the eight days he was with us. He adapted and fitted numerous IKEA cupboards into awkward spaces, revamped a shabby door, fixed weatherboards and draughty gap above a bookcase, as well as make bespoke pannelling for a toilet, as well as other smaller jobs along the way. There was nothing we threw at him that he couldn't do and he was cheerful and 'can-do' throughout, it's clear he loves his work and is sound.

Roy fitted our kitchen, laid flooring and hung doors for us, we couldn't be happier with the results that Roy has provided . Roy turns up when he says he will, he informs you of any problems but also finds a solution, he keeps you updated with his progress throughout. Roys carpentry skills are exceptional and we have had many compliments from our visitors including other tradesmen. Roy himself is very friendly and polite and he takes pride in his work. We would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to others.

I have a kitchen that is 17 years old now but I did not want to replace the whole thing. Roy came in and made new doors for all my cupboards and draws and had some very creative ideas about my 'island'. Quite apart from being a very nice person to have about the house, he worked in an organised and precise way giving detailed attention to every aspect of his work. He cleaned up and was conscious of any mess being made and was keen to minimise any inconvenience. He is returning to build bookcases and I have every confidence that they will be to the highest standard. This cliche really does apply to Roy Hogg - I would thoroughly recommend him!

We have undertaken a major renovation and refurbishment of a house in north Oxford and have used Roy for all our bespoke carpentry and cabinetry needs.

Roy has come up with the ideal solution whenever a challenge has arisen and we could not be more pleased with the end results. We will most certainly be using his services in the future and could not recommend him highly enough.

Roy has carried out various projects for us, initially as chargehand for a firm of builders making an extension for us, and in the last couple of years on two smaller projects: each threw up different challenges, all of which he addressed competently. Roy works with good humour, accuracy and diligence. His main skill is as a carpenter/builder, but he can bring other skills into play if needed to keep the work going. He's also perfectly capable of organising supplies & coordinating the other tradesmen needed for a job. I will always turn to Roy for any other similar building projects that we need to tackle. So, highly recommended!

Roy Hogg has carried out a great deal of work for us over the past three months. He has relaid and restored a parquet floor, installed a door and made a range of cupboards and storage solutions. Designs and plans are followed with a great deal of thought and care. He is very interested in challenges, and working in difficult spaces. Other trades respect his work, and he does his best to work around their areas if all trades are in a space together. Roy is very tidy. He is conscientious, using materials with respect, and disposing of them with attention to the environment. He takes a great deal of pride in the finished article / job, and the final results are extremely well finished and do the job as intended. Roy is entirely trustworthy.
