Alec provided great advice and did amazing work building and fixing cabinets in my kitchen and bathroom, as well as other woodwork, at a very high standard. Always friendly, on time, and keeping the work-space clean and tidy, I can highly recommend him (and I have!).

Alec designed and built a whole-wall of mixed shelving and cupboards for us, along with a desk and utilities cupboard for our study. He took our very amateur sketch, and transformed it into a detailed CAD design for us to talk over; we had some odd requirements (space to include an existing cabinet, a large printer to accommodate, and some concealed cabling). All of our requirements were carefully included in the detailed CAD design. What has been really brilliant however has been the translation of that design into the finished product; we wanted the 'edge of ply' effect and the way he arranged

I engaged Alec to make and fit bi-fold doors, to hang new internal doors and fix door furniture, and various other joinery jobs including skirting and architraves, as well as two beautifully made oak floating shelves in the kitchen. Alec was thorough and precise, reliable and tidy, and his work was completed to an excellent standard.

It's rare to find a really talented tradesman who cares, but Alec is one of those. He did a stunning job on my front door.

A really lovely and polite guy - who turns up when he says he will, finishes the job on schedule and budget, leaves room tidier than when he arrived. And all this in addition to being very skilled at carpentry. Our built in shelves and cupboard in alcove are fantastic and just what we wanted. Only problem is we don't want to put anything on them as they are so nice as they are! Would definitely recommend Alec to others :)

Alec did a great job for us, putting a cupboard and two box shelves into an alcove in our lounge. Alec was very good at listening to our ideas of how the cupboard should look, and was able to translate these slightly vague thoughts into a really good looking final piece. He was flexible and able to accommodate our requests. The box shelves were to match existing ones in another alcove, which they do perfectly. His workmanship is excellent, he's a fast and tidy worker, and he was always punctual and polite. We'd have no hesitation in using him again and have already recommended him to friends.
