EXCELLENTBased on 36 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Andrea McMahon2024-10-01I can't recommend Daniel highly enough. He is a thoughtful, creative, solution-driven and skilled carpenter. Daniel uninstalled our heavy custom internal sliding cavity door to retrofit a soft close mechanism that he had no prior experience with (and where no other door installers agreed to try). He also changed the door operation from a flush pull by modifying and installing an ordinary doorstop, as well as adding hardware not typically built for that purpose.

His quote for the work was not the highest or lowest I got but was reasonable for the job. Our back area looks great and is exactly what we wanted to achieve.

He was punctual, well presented and performed the job in minimum time in a no fuss manner. He reluctantly charged a very small amount when I insisted - given he took the time to travel to me and because he did such an amazing job.

Daniel does truly excellent work.

My husband and I asked him to install some slatwalls in our apartment. Even when faced with surprise concrete rather than timber studs as we'd told him, Daniel quickly adapted and still delivered to the quote. As an Asian household, also really appreciate how Daniel took his shoes off and even cleaned up after the installation. Would give 10 stars if I could but limited to 5. Don't think twice - if you need a carpentry job done and you want it done well, just get Daniel in.
