SH Carpentry & Construction Limited

I contacted SH carpentry and construction as they are local and our neighbours had used their services before so they were highly recommended. Shane attended our property and gave us his professional recommendations on how to do the rebuild work. He was very meticulous and answered all our questions. The booking process was very easy and Shane arranged for his team members to meet us before the work started . His team, whilst on site was very polite and professional, they provided us with regular updates. The work carried out was to the highest standard and they left our property very tidy. Can’t thank Shane, Olly and Chris for their efforts, I would highly recommend their services for building and construction.

We needed a new wardrobe, meter cupboard, 2 windows replaced and damp investigated. As it is a period property nothing was straight forward, however we found Shane, Olly, Charlotte and the team to be knowledgeable, professional and approachable, happy to talk things through and offer options. As work progressed it morphed into extra work on the roof and chimney, outside repair and decoration, replacement of some drains and a patio, and adding a new soakaway. All the work has been done to specification and to a high standard, the team were always positive, helpful, easy to talk to and trustworthy. Would definitely recommend and would use again.

We can unhesitatingly recommend SH Construction for the quality of both their work and their communication. Shane and Charlotte have coped with changes of specification and the need for us to liaise with our party wall owners and two sets of tenants. The work was to rebuild the party wall in the attic, improving support for our roof, and Shane’s careful approach gave us confidence that the job would be well done. Olly and his team coped with lack of access to the neighbouring house and left all clean and tidy. The Building Control inspector’s verdict was “they’ve made a lovely job of that”.

Shane's team undertook work to replace our asbestos garage roof with a new flat roof, and garage rebuild to include raised height to accommodate a roller door, new windows and parapets. Shane was a great help throughout the process, including initially spending valuable time with us to discuss the proposals, and responding quickly to any queries and requests throughout the process. Together, we made sure that the design would help facilitate a possible conversion to living accommodation in future and dining room extension at the rear of our house, thereby providing future proofing . Olly and the team on site did a brilliant job with the build, taking great care and attention at every stage and were always keen to explain their approach and fully take on board our wishes. We were very pleased with the materials sourced and the finished result exceeded our expectations in terms of craftsmanship and being in keeping with the character of our 1950s detached house.

We had a side door put in our garage’ which was excellent. The workmen were very tidy while working and very polite. They wanted to please us and answered any questions we asked when the job was complete they left the area clean and took away all rubbish. You would not have known they had been there working. Excellent staff always helpful Would definitely recommend the company

Shane and his team worked on 2 structural openings, and installation of a new kitchen and utility room floor for us over a period of 5 weeks...this also included hanging of new doors, associated carpentry around thresholds, laying of engineered floor around one new opening, and removal of an aga and fake brick chimney hearth. We had met Shane earlier in the year after moving into the property due to initial larger requirements. We found Shane knowledgeable, approachable and honest in our discussions. As my work is in interior design and architecture, working with a team who can deliver, are trustworthy and have a good eye for detail is really important. Shane and team certainly managed this. There were numerous times when we were not present at the property due to our work commitments, and they were respectful and careful to lock up, even permitting our cats to wander in and out....therefore a high degree of trustworthiness is part of what you receive. With Olly local to us, this helped them crack on from 7:30am. They were able to take in additional work to our scope also. In terms of costs, SH Carpentry and Construction werent the cheapest supplier we had quotes from, but we're glad to have worked with the team, and feel they were very able to deliver on all aspects of the job.

Shane and his team constructed the framework of a new extension for us in 2020. The project was completed according to the agreed schedule and budget. The fact that I am writing this two years later is a testament to the high quality of their work. Shane maintained clear communication throughout the process, regularly consulting with me on crucial decisions, which I greatly appreciated. Moreover, Shane and his entire team were consistently polite and easy to communicate with. I would also like to acknowledge Charlotte for her valuable assistance.

Excellent service. Had our garage boarded, plastered, painted, loft hatch put in and shelves built-in. Quote was fair, work was excellent. Garage left tidy and neat. Work done to a high standard. Job done in a timely manner. Would recommend and would use again. Thanks

Excellent service from start to finish. Shane and Charlotte always responded quickly to questions and were always positive, proactive and helpful. The work was undertaken through summer 2021 when covid and delivery issues made life unpredictable, but these obstacles were managed professionally and with great flexibility, working around other constraints. The work was completed to a high standard and on time. Highly professional and highly recommended.

Charlotte, Shane and team completed a full renovation of our 1970’s style apartment, bringing it back to the 21st century! I am based in Sweden, the apartment is in Oxford/UK, and I chose to work with S&H because they offered a ‘full service’ including full project management, sourcing of all materials/goods and co-ordination of the various experts carrying out the work. In short - complete peace of mind which is exactly what they provided. Charlotte who was my main day to day contact was exceptional, extremely professional and provided great peace of mind. The work was carried out to an exceptional standard with no stone left unturned. Big thank you to all involved in transforming our apartment.

S&H installed a soakaway in our back garden and covered it with a new circular patio, for which we sourced the slabs from Minster paving. We saw S&H working nearby and the work looked good and the working team was cheerful. They came round quickly to give a quote. It was a bit expensive compared to another, but we went with it as we thought they would be good. We were not disappointed, the two builders worked well and delivered a really good result. They had to lift part of an old patio and replace it, and also replace some old brickwork, which was all planned as part of the job. The team and their manager stayed in contact whenever needed, and the bill was exactly what we expected.

Charlotte and Shane and the team were able to do an amazing job renovating our home. They stripped back the walls and totally redecorated to a high standard and I would have no problems recommending them and using them in the future. Thank you so much for completing a great job.

SH have done some remedial repairs to my property following the insertion of a new chemical DPC. Although a small project, SH carried out the work diligently and professionally. The team were friendly and helpful and kept disruption to a minimum. The quality of the work is first class and left having carried out thorough clean.

SR Construction worked on our property to convert half of our garage to the utility room. They have done a truly amazing job. Just from the first day, they were leaving the construction area tidy and nice and the final finish was exactly what we asked for. Thank you for your hard work! We will definitely get back to your services in the future again.

While decorating my living room a damp problem was uncovered which had resulted in a large section of the timber floor rotting. Shane responded quickly, had a quote for repairs with me the very next morning, and work started soon after. Throughout the work Shane and all the team were fantastic to deal with. I was really impressed with their reliability, workmanship and willingness to go the extra mile. The entire floor was replaced, an old fireplace stripped out, new lintel fitted and walls re-rendered. As the work progressed it became apparent the damp was more extensive than initially thought and had spread to the adjacent room. Shane and Charlotte were excellent in communicating this information. They kept me updated by email and phone calls and discussed options and costs openly. At no point did I feel railroaded into making a decision. On top of the damp repairs Shane also organised an electrician to update the wiring, for repairs to the main roof/chimney, and took on converting a dilapidated flat bay window to a pitched slated roof which is now a smart feature of the house. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SH Carpentry & Construction!

Shane and his colleague Craig were both very polite, professional and friendly whilst also doing a great job. I felt very comfortable with them carrying out work on the front of our house as it was clear that they are both very competent and knowledgeable in carpentry. I would definitely use them again for any carpentry jobs. Possibly not the cheapest but price reflected the quality. If you want someone to do a professional carpentry job then this is a good company to use.

I found this company through Which? Trusted Traders and have had them replace a dormer window that had fallen out and also repair a leaky roof. Shane and his team have been brilliant and we are really pleased with the work. It’s very difficult to find a builder/carpenter who is reliable but Shane has been. Pleasant, helpful, courteous and the standard of work is exceptional. I would highly recommend them to people and I am asking them to quote for further work that we need doing.

Shane and his team were renovating a big back room and adding an extension. The back room had three slightly different floors, having initially been two rooms that had had an existing extension, so they had to dig up the whole thing and lay a concrete floor that would align with the hallway corridor. They had to do this while building a further extension in bad weather, during the lockdown, and under time pressure so that parquet floor could be laid by specialists. And it was done perfectly! The job had endless details - a new kitchen, painting, replumbing, rewiring, a new garden wall, a new patio, some change of design as we went along, and SH Carpentry & Construction were always patient, attentive and accommodating; when things went wrong or we changed our minds, they sorted it out straightaway. And the result is really lovely. We've got a big family room that looks fabulous and is much warmer than it used to be. We love being in it. Thanks Shane, Charlotte, Pete, and the gang!

Shane was recommended to us for our hallway renovation by Daniel Rokins, who was building a bespoke walnut staircase to suit our 300-year-old farmhouse. We were absolutely delighted with Shane and his entire team. The project ended up expanding exponentially due to rotting floorboards, overlying rotting joists, due to lack of ventilation bricks, and requiring rerouting of plumbing and gas pipework, all of which were addressed calmly, competently, and with endless patience and good humour from Shane and his team. The new staircase required unique structural work, also designed and constructed by Daniel, Shane and team. The wooden flooring was laid beautifully with artisan finishes and details worthy of the true craftsmen they are. The carpentry by Craig, James, and Shane, has been absolutely top quality throughout the job, including sympathetic door renovations and cabinet-making. The plasterwork was outstanding, unlike anything we have ever seen, and the painting and decorating have also been unequalled in quality. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the job, and can't recommend Shane, Charlotte and the entire SHC&C team highly enough!

We are a national charity based in London and have a number of bungalows on one site used by our beneficiaries in Oxfordshire. We have used Shane and Charlotte for a number of years to manage the site maintenance. Charlotte provides an outstanding management service and with the residents, is caring and understanding of their individual situations when considering the works required. She reacts appropriately in emergency situations and I have full trust in her. Shane and the team always carry out the works required to a very high standard and have never let me down. I highly recommend them to anyone requiring this type of service.

Shane and Barry did a great job of boarding out our loft. They were friendly, professional and fast. They even fitted the loft. ladder as an added bonus and hoovered up. We have a busy home with kids, dog etc. My Daughter even shot them with Nerf guns while they passed through the house, so highly recommend them as "family-friendly". Cannot recommend enough!

We met Shane and his team by happy accident but would not hesitate in recommending him. Luckily for us a replacement window fitter who was measuring up for replacement windows for the cottage came when torrential rain had flooded the rear porch causing quite a lot of damage, recommended him as a good and reliable workman. Shane arrived the following day, assessed the situation, was very helpful and stepped in at short notice to help us resolve the immediate problem. Following on from mending and reroofing the porch. it was discovered that all the windows of both cottages did not have any lintels on the outer walls. Shane and his team agreed to stay on and worked for three weeks replacing missing outer lintels on the two adjoining cottages windows which we let to tenants. They were very punctual and polite, tidy, professional. Shane kept us appraised of the costings, gave us regular progress reports. good job all round.

Shane and his team converted our garage into a playroom and converted the loft space into a bedroom. The team have done an amazing job and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. We were very impressed with how helpful everyone at SHCC was during our project and any questions were answered quickly. I would highly recommend SHCC.

Shane and his team built a new car port for us. We were very impressed by how responsive the team were to our questions, how well they conducted themselves on site, the timeliness with which the job was done and the quality of the work. It was an extremely good experience and I would not hesitate to recommend this company. Matthew Batstone

I had quite extensive work done to remedy a damp problem. All the works were project managed well by Shane and the workmen who came were polite and helpful. A cupboard had to be dismantled and skirting and dado rails removed as well as floor boards being taken up. I am impressed that everything has been put back so it looks just as good as it was before. The work has been completed to a high standard. All queries and concerns were addressed promptly and I would definitely recommend SH Carpentry.

Charlotte and Shane were brilliant from start to finish. I required a mezzanine floor to be built in a bedroom with 13ft ceilings. They worked tirelessly to ensure that I got exactly the right style of mezzanine, coming up with bespoke solutions to fit my needs. Shane also organised decorators to attend to the walls in my old house, which required backing paper to fill in the cracks. All of the workmen were professional, pleasant and respectful to my property, and ensured the best quality of work. I would recommend them to anyone and trust that they would do a great job. It has reaffirmed my faith in the building trade after a couple of less pleasant encounters. Thank you.

I have been extremely happy with the work done by SHCC. The communication was excellent, and I was continuously kept informed about the state of affairs of the project. The initial goal of removing an internal wall expanded into including a number of additional projects (damp proof course, plastering, decorating etc). Throughout the period Charlotte and Shane were wonderful in rapidly keeping in touch with me. I really felt as if thy were trying to do things at as high a standard as they would expect in their own house. All of the team members that I dealt with were careful and tidy and a pleasure to deal with. I can very highly recommend the entire SHCC team!

Had a great team doing the work. Charlotte and Shane have been always helpful and pleasant. Harry and Malcolm did a great professional job being very helpful and advised us what was going on all the time. Would recommend this company very highly. Thanks.

Right from the start Charlotte had her team organised and working fast. They had to find the cause of persistent damp, and treat it. This had been attempted by two other well known companies. I was kept informed, even when the news wasn't good. Harry and Malcolm were also reliable and organised. This is a company that I would not hesitate to recommend to friends, and I will call on them next time I need a good job done.

We moved into a new house four years ago and have used SH C&C for various jobs to help personalise our house into a home. They have completed several carpentry jobs; bathroom cabinets, shelving in Utility Room and Airing Cupboard, built-in cupboard in downstairs toilet, and boarding of loft and installing loft ladder. They completely fitted out the garage with shelving, cupboards and work benches. Shane designed, built and installed a glass-fronted, wall-mounted display cabinet in the kitchen. He and his team are reliable and meticulous in everything they do. The quality of their work is excellent. We have relied on Shane for his ideas, and he does not sign off a job until all parties are satisfied. We have found Shane and his team to be completely trustworthy and they have worked in our house when we have been absent.

The work involved damp proofing a large Victorian church building by improving the external rainwater drainage and inserting a DPC to prevent internal rising damp. The church required flexibility of start and end dates to fit with its commitments and this was agreed through very amicable discussions with Charlotte. Externally, a cement plinth was replaced and an ACO recessed drain installed after DPC treatment. Internally, damaged plasterwork was replaced by drywall treatment after further DPC treatment, and wooden skirting and dado replaced. This large amount of work was completed on time, to a high standard and to an agreed budget by dedicated workmen who arrived on time and left the building clean and tidy, all ably coordinated by Charlotte. I strongly recommend SHCC.

Charlotte was great. She kept me in the loop on everything, sending me pictures of what they'd discovered about the condition of the structural beam, for instance, so as I could make properly informed decisions about what it was best to do, even when I was away or at work. And she understood that having builders in your house can be a bit stressful. Even the very nicest and considerate builders, namely Harry and Malcolm, whom I also highly recommend.

Shane and his team have just completed the renovation of my 1960s bungalow. The project included a garage conversion, dividing a bathroom into an ensuite and a shower room, updating the heating system and adding a built in bookcase and wardrobe as well as general repairs to the structure. This was a large project for a novice renovator but the team made the whole thing run incredibly smoothly. The quality of the work is very good and every little detail has been considered. I would happily recommend Shane and his team and can't thank Charlotte enough for keeping everything on track.

I asked Shane if he would help with renovating part of our house which is about 200 years old. The works required damp proofing of walls, replastering walls and replacing old lathe and plaster ceilings with new plasterboard, new electrics with additional wiring to improve sockets and lighting etc, replacement of old timber lintels, change of design to fireplace etc. New plumbing and insulation. Basically a project which involves pretty much all the trades. Shane gave really good advice and helped with ideas and made us feel that we were leaving a very daunting job in capable hands. Between the SHCC team they planned and managed all the trades (including some that we hired in) and turned the job round in a good time considering what was involved. They managed a lot of decision changes that we made throughout the job and the end result far surpassed our expectation. We were impressed with the quality of the workmanship and finish and although it was renovating existing parts of the house it feels like a completing new house. We got regular updates on when and what work was being don so nothing was unexpected to us and the whole job ran smoothly with minimal interruption to our family of four living in the house whilst the work was being done. We are now planning on using SHCC again for the next stage of our house project.

Came back really quickly and had tiles back on in less than a week. Reasonable price.

Very high quality of work, and well organised despite needing several different tradespeople. Shane’s a good project manager. The guys also left the house clean and tidy.

Very good standard of work. Clean and tidy during and after the work was executed. Highly recommend Shane and his team.

SH Carpentry & Construction were easy to communicate with - the original contact was by e-mail, following by a very swift and helpful response. The inspection visit, prior to the estimate, was arranged at a very busy period for the firm, and was undertaken in a thorough and entirely professional manner with helpful suggestions as to sequencing of the work and other matters (e.g. choice of paint colour). The estimate was clear and reasonable for the type of work to be undertaken, and part of the work was undertaken by Shane, who is in overall charge of the company, on an early evening, after finishing work, in order to enable the subsequent stages of the work to be undertaken more swiftly. All the work was carried out entirely professionally and to a very high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. Peter L

I highly recommend Shane and his team. Works completed: - an initial visit to prepare our house for some damp work. - substantial work in the loft strengthening beams and installing fire walls. - construction of several bespoke wooden built-in cabinets and a shelf on site and some other minor works to improve what our previous builders had left unfinished. Quality of work: Fantastic. We are particularly delighted with the carpentry works, which were measured and constructed on site and so fit perfectly. We are also pleased with the other works. Professional approach: Fantastic. Arrived promptly and worked non-stop all day! Did the carpentry etc. outside to avoid getting dust in the house and removed all materials afterwards and tidied up. Really polite and helpful in advising on how to complete the works and costs etc. They are also flexible on time, visited us on two Saturdays to get the work finished quickly for us, and have suggested some evening visits to complete some further work. Communication: Excellent. Responsive on emails, kept us updated, checked throughout the work to ensure it was exactly as we wanted. Cost: The invoice was exactly what we had agreed in advance. They are not a budget company, but the quality of work is excellent and worth paying for. Overall: We would highly recommend SH Carpentry and Construction and have already engaged them to do some more work.

Shane and his team Carried out building work and fitted a new kitchen All the work was completed to a high standard And all trades involved were friendly, professional and competent. We would not hesitate to recommend SH Carpentry.

The house had a number of issues, including a failing chimney stack, some rising damp and leaking guttering and down-pipe. We were recommended to contact Shane, whose company justified the recommendation. He responded promptly to a request for a site meeting during which he advised on the most appropriate way of addressing the various issues. This was followed quickly by an estimate for the works, which works he was able to commence quickly. The chimney stack received attention first and was soon stable and safe. Externally Shane's team also replaced the guttering and down-pipe, including additional work to solve an unexpected problem. Finally clearing a small area adjoining the house front around the external air-bricks. The planned date for remedial works to the internal damp initially set by us was delayed by a decision to relocate the mains electricity supply, but Shane was happy to accommodate the date change to meet our requirements. Shane's team carried out the external works required by the electricity company to enable that company's operatives to carry out the relocation, in such a way that one of those operatives expressed gratitude for the quality of the work as it had made their job easier. Shane's team then, in cooperation with the damp proofing company, completed the necessary plaster removal and re-plastering internally, leaving us a smooth clean area ready for decoration in due course. Shane and his team were professional and easy to deal with throughout.

Shane and his team were absolutely first class in completing a building project in Banbury. I rent this commercial building to a restauranteur and because I don't live in Banbury I was so fortunate to be introduced to Shane. Not only was the project completed to the highest possible standard I was also very pleased with the communication between Shane and myself throughout the process. I will be recommending SH Carpentry & Construction Ltd to all my friends and colleagues. Furthermore I have an extension at the same location awaiting planning permission and have engaged Shane to build this for me.

Shane and his team removed a load bearing wall and re-plastered. They completed the job on time and were friendly and accommodating, whilst doing a good job. I have booked for them to do a large extension of my kitchen.

Shane and his team converted an under stairs cupboard into a toilet for me, which required a lot of redirection of drains, plumbing etc. It was all done very tidily and is well finished. They were able to work through the inevitable glitches in the process, and it was well managed. I am pleased with the result.

SH Carpentry were recommended by a damp expert to resolve a damp issue caused by a breached damp course. The work included opening a chimney, replastering, new joists, floorboards, DPC and new airbricks. Shane and his team were very accommodating with my requests and I am very pleased with the work completed. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Excellent service from co-operating in developing the details from a basic design concept. Very practical advice. Skilled workers who produced a beautiful result. Fully recommended.

SH Carpentry and Construction Limited provided us with work relating to a kitchen extension and laying of new heated flooring. Throughout the construction, they were more than happy to respond to queries immediately and deal with any issues or concerns we had. The quality of the workmanship is excellent, in particular a large heated tiled floor was laid and the results are amazing. Well done Shane, Rob and his team. We hope to have you doing some more work on our house very soon.

We have just completed a house renovation and have had alot of trades working in our house.SH Carpentry were extremely professional and we felt very comfortable having them work in our home. Their standard of work was exceptional and they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the finished product (stair case) and that it was done in the allotted time frame. Would definitely recommend - it's a shame we hadn't asked them to do things for us before!

SH Carpentry and Construction have recently completed a medium sized extension and internal re-model of my house. I obtained 4 quotes for the work and SH were not only cost effective but also the most proactive and professional which is why I selected them. I was not disappointed with my decision, SH started when they said they would and showed their technical ability and experience to get over a few ‘issues’ we had with architect and structural engineer drawings to still deliver on time and principally on budget. The team are punctual, polite & trustworthy, I would have no hesitation using them again or recommending to friends and family.

I have used this company on 2 main projects, a complete renovation on a listed house and an update on bathrooms and garden (including outdoor room/gazebo) on a town house. They continue with any smaller, upkeep jobs too. They are completely trustworthy, reliable and take pride in their work. They were recommended to me and I have since recommended them to a number of others.

What a refreshing thing to experience a really good company with Excellent, polite and professional staff who went that extra mile for us which makes all the difference. Kept the areas as clean as possible and just didn't stop working. The result was a top class job done on time and budget, I highly recommend this company and hard working staff. just Brilliant, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for doing a wonderful job for us.
