Installation of Handrail, Bannister Rail, Spindles and Baserail
Customer Service
Quality
Value
I discovered Tony through a friend who recommended him as he had undertaken work at his property, so on that advice I had Tony install a new American white oak mopstick handrail which turned at two angles to follow the angles at the foot of the stairs. Tony then removed the old painted staircase handrail, spindles and baserail - he then cut down the newel post and installed an adapter to accept the new round oak vertical section and then proceeded to install all the necessary mopstick bannister handrail and stainless steel spindles. I’m very pleased with the final installation and can now ‘ski’ up the stairs having handrails both sides. Tony removed all timber waste from site, vacuumed and removed his dust sheets. Tony was very methodical and listened to any comments put before him. Highly recommended and likeable and would use again as I’m considering replacing my internal doors. Tony likes UB40, cheese on toast and Yorkshire Tea - moo milk but no sugar.

Tony works to very high standard. We called on him to repair some damaged wood panels in the kitchen following water damage and we were so impressed with the workmanship that we decided to have him return to install seven new internal oak doors. Tony did an excellent job and he returned promptly to make some minor adjustments to a couple of doors after we had new flooring laid. Tony is very reliable and tidy and we would not hesitate to use him again.

I have used Tony many times over the years for various jobs and have never been disappointed with the result. He is honest and helpful and listens to what you want. This time I threw him a curve ball. I needed a cover and a tiled roof and support made to go over an antique well head. I described how I wanted it to look and he worked out how to do it, never having done anything similar. He stopped and asked at every stage so there were no nasty surprises just a lovely authentic looking result. He is a tidy workman which I very much appreciate. His prices are fair and I can heartily recommend him.

Tony fitted my job into his busy schedule. My mum needed an alteration on her stairs to accommodate a stairlift. He was friendly, turned up on time and his work was excellent. Would certainly use him again.

Tony removed and installed some new skirting in our bedroom along a couple of walls including around a chimney breast. He did the job exactly as I expected and to a much higher standard than my moderate DIY skills could have achieved. Very satisfied and pleased that I used him, probably saving money in the long run. Tony has a nice personable manner about him, tidied up after and I will definitely use again for any similar work.

Asked Tony to fit a new side door after attempted break in. He had done work for us in the past which we were very pleased with. He sourced a good quality door and appropriate traditional hardware to go on it and a new lock. Did a wonderful job with attention to detail and no mess left behind. The door is now very secure and looks smart. He then returned and mended a large shower cubicle which was very heavy glass and was out of alignment. With great patience he managed to solve the problem. He is efficient, courteous and reasonably priced, he listens to what you need and gives sensible advice. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Erected shed - fitted out the inside with shelving to perfection. Tony has previously carried out work for us. His prices are always competitive and started on the date agreed. As always Tony is punctual, pleasant, a perfectionist & leaves everything tidy. Always discusses the job & makes great suggestions if he feels that the job can be improved, which always seems to work for us. As I say in the title, he is "simply the best".

Tony (T.j carpentry), has done many different jobs for us including, laying laminate flooring, skirting, shelving, rehanging door and putting a number of Ikea furniture items together. His charges are very good and we are always pleased with his work. He is very personable and easy to talk to. His communications with us have always been very good also. He has also been very punctual when coming to us. He was recommended to us by the plasterer we used.

Tony has just done some more work for us. He removed an existing 'integrated' cooker in the kitchen and cut the worksurface to accomodate a free standing cooker for the same space. He also built a cupboard for us to fit an awkward sized space in our utility room. Once again, found his work to be of good quality. He works very hard to understand your requirements and then works with you as the job progresses to make sure it is still in line with what you want.

I needed 5 doors replaced in my home. Tony sourced the doors to my requirements and fitted them in one day - working throughout a Saturday to complete the job. He did a very neat job and left the premises clean afterwards. The price was reasonable and I would recommend him happily.

I used Tony because of the good reviews. I have not been disappointed. Tony fitted 6 doors and dealt with an awkward floor level change requiring a bespoke threshold. He has time to listen to your requirements and comes up with very useful options using his undoubted experience. Tony's prices are very reasonable and he can be relied on to make the best decision dependent on budget and requirements. I have no hesitation in recommending Tony.An excellent find any carpentry work.

Tony has just repaired a bespoke wooden up and over garage door which had started to rot at the bottom. He also made two wooden drain covers to match originals. He found the timber, showed it to us before starting work and did an excellent job. He was very pleasant to deal with, listened carefully to what we wanted, was reasonably priced and tidy. Would definitely use him again.

Tony has just completed a job for us and we are very pleased. He fitted out an existing cupboard, increasing the size of the door frame, replacing the doors and putting in shelves. He discussed the plan with us as the job progressed, made helpful suggestions and was happy to modify things as we requested. He was a delightful person to have around. The service was great. We would definitely use him again.

When having a boiler maintenance the engineer found that the boiler cover could not be taken off because it had been fitted into the airing cupboard in a position that was too high and wide to get out of the existing door frame. I contacted Tony on Thursday and although he was busy with a big job for the next week he fitted in this relatively small job on the following Sunday. He fitted a new door frame and refitted the door with a minimum of fuss and cost and was a pleasure to do business with. All in all the service provided was excellent and I would use him again and recommend him to friends and family.
