Report
Michael fitted six new interior doors for us, older property so sizing was challenging. Michael did a superb job, we cannot praise him enough. He is an extremely talented tradesman with an amazing work ethic, nothing was too much trouble, he worked very hard and produced excellent results. Would thoroughly recommend him.

We hired Cove Carpenters to replace all the internal doors within our home. Not only did we get the perfect recommendation of which doors to purchase, we received excellent, personable service, great quality work and Mike was very punctual each day. No dust was left! We will return to Cove Carpenters for any work in future. Highly recommended.

I have recently had a number of internal doors replaced and a staircase renovation carried out by Cove Carpenters ( Michael Tricker) and cannot recommend them more highly. Thoroughly professional and highly skilled, we are delighted with the results.
