Radiator Cover

This is the third radiator cover Nick has made for us. He has also made fitted wardrobes in two rooms and built in desks. As you can imagine, as we keep going back to him for fresh projects, we think he is first rate. Nick was recommended to us by friends and we continue to recommend him if anyone asks for a skilled craftsman.

We are so pleased with cupboards and fitted study shelves. The fitting and finish ( sprayed to our chosen colour) was perfect, so don’t waste your time trying to find someone better! Nick was a pleasure to deal with and we will return to him in the New Year to build a cabinet in the living room.

New Study
My husband and I are so pleased with the study made by The Sussex bookcase company. The standard of work is very high and Nick (the company owner) kept us informed when the work would be completed and when he was coming. From the beginning when we said what we wanted he did a drawing for us then changed it when we had other ideas. He also invited us to come and see how it was going at the factory while it was being made. We would both highly recommend The Sussex bookcase company

Nick made and installed fitted shelves and cupboards for my home library. Everything was worked out to the nearest millimetre and the end result is stunning. Everything was detailed in the initial quotation and contract form and phone enquiries and emails were always swiftly answered. Nick is a friendly guy, and helped by his son Jake, worked efficiently and very neatly, respecting my property at all times.

Bespoke bookshelves

From the outset Nick was a delight to deal with. He listened to us and what we were hoping for and designed a large bookcase around our TV which is wall mounted on a cantilever bracket .He carefully explained every aspect of the job, cost and timescale clearly, and delivered as he promised. The bookcase is exactly what we had envisaged. The paint finish is superb and the adjustable shelves a great design and easy to alter. It has been much admired.I would definitely recommend Nick.He is a true craftsman and a pleasure to do business with.

Nick made a very lovely HiFi cabinet for me with storage above and below for LPs and CDs. He was great to work with throughout the process. Superb attention to detail! He recommended some beautiful oak to work with. All-round top job.

Nick helped to design and then built and painted a beautiful bookcase for our study. He kept us informed of timelines to build and delivery and then completed the installation in one day. Very helpful throughout and we are very pleased with the end result - would highly recommend him.

Quality product & excellent service

My bespoke shelves were created strictly to house my LP record collection. Everything was made to measure form scratch and supplied exactly as requested. The pandemic affected the original fitment dates owing to lockdowns, but contact was maintained throughout and the work was completed as close to its original projected completion date as was possible. Service was friendly and I am very happy with the finished product, which looks beautiful. These were not cheap shelving units as they were specifically made to measure, so I have recorded the top score for value on the basis that this is a premium quality bespoke product.
