Shakespeare Carpentry

Alister came out on time and date requested , very prompt service, This is not the first time we have used Shakespeare Carpentry, so we knew the work was going to be excellent, and it certainly was. Fitted the doors and fitting with no fuss, then completed the two custom covers, we need to cover awkward pipe work,and they looked absolutely amazing when completed. He was very clean and tidy, and cleaned up afterwards on both days he done the work, which was very good of him. The quote and the price paid was accurate, which is also a good indication of a reliable and honest craft person. I would not hesitate to recommend or use Shakespeare Carpentry in the future. Thank you Alister, all the best. Donald Macpherson

Alister is polite, professional and has a good work ethic. The work was undertaken on the agreed date and unlike many tradesman he turned up on time and finished the job as promised to a very high standard. I would not hesitate in recommending him.

Excellent workmanship Excellent work ethic Excellent clearing up afterwards Excellent prices A craftsman who turns up when he says he will, does what he says he will, cleans up and all at extremely competitive prices - he should charge more, thank goodness he doesn't

Knowing when I’m out of my depth you sometimes have to put trust in people you don’t know. Alister’s service was absolutely spot on and reasonably priced. Excellent workmanship, tidy and a very professional service. Highly recommended thanks Alister.

I needed new pipework to be boxed in the match existing boxing. Alister responded promptly for my request for a quote and turned up at the agreed date and time. It was only a small job but he did a great job and was very pleasant, efficient and tidy and invoiced me as per quote. He will be my first port of call if I need a carpenter again.

Alister installed 11 internal doors and dividing doors plus reconstructed an external doorway into the garden. His quote was provided promptly and the final invoice was exactly as quoted. He was a punctual, tidy and efficient worker. We are very pleased with the quality of workmanship throughout. We would highly recommend him.

The latest job completed by Alister at our home has been the boarding of the central area of our loft. This required the use of adaptive materials to suspend the boarding above the deep loft insulation. The finished result is very pleasing. It has transformed the area into very useful space and we are arranging for him to return to board another loft area soon. Previously, in December, Alister fitted a new loft hatch and loft ladder for us - also very well done.

Alister is a pleasure to deal with. From the time I requested a quotation to completion of the work I was kept fully informed about times, what work was being done and if there were any adjustments to be made they would be discussed before the work was carried out. Alister was in my house over 4 days and I felt completely happy leaving him there while I went to work. The work I had done included hanging an internal door and fitting a lock, re-configuring 2 built-in wardrobes (removing the old sliding door structure and replacing with bespoke opening cupboard doors) and building a superb under stairs cupboard and shelving unit as per a picture provided. He is very clean and tidy and his work is to a very high standard. All old materials were removed each day and I came home to a spotless home. I have already booked in the next job with Alister and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Excellent service from start to finish, good communication throughout from getting a quote to carrying out the work. Alister fitted 8 internal doors and was punctual, and efficient, cleaned up afterward and the end result is great quality. I would definitely recommend Alister and we're already considering another job for him to do.

Alister spent a considerable time reviewing the job and explaining his recommended solution to me. As an older woman on her own, I appreciated this. I felt at all times that Alister knew exactly what he was about. The fence was OK but some of the posts had given way. The answer was to support each post with a well dug and concreted in short post which was then attached to the original post with 2 metal plates and 2 coach. A photo. would have been helpful here. He also solved a problem to do with indoor shutters, one of which scraped the wooden floor. A lack of knowledge on the part of the installer which Alister recognised immediately and then put right. A simple solution but one for which I was very grateful. I would thoroughly recommend Alister to anyone.
