   Derek did an excellent job in designing, building and installing 2 fitted wardrobes in my parents 1930???s house. He fitted wardrobes to both alcoves and the finish is excellent. Derek is polite, friendly and hard-working. He is an excellent craftsman, and his work is of exceptional quality. I would have no hesitation in recommending Derek. He also left their bedroom clean and tidy after the installation.

   I highly recommend Derek's work!! Previously Derek built two bespoke alcove cabinets for my office and more recently he's built our master wardrobe. I could not be happier with the finished products. He is very respectful when visiting the house and is always pre-prepared, meaning this work is completed in an amazing time. I'm already planning for him to build our next set of alcove cabinets, and wardrobes for the kids bedrooms. If you are considering Derek for any carpentry, you will not be disappointed.

   Couldn't recommend Derek enough. He is a true craftsman and a pleasure to do business with. Absolutely brilliant at communicating everything clearly, and was very quick at designing and fitting the cupboards just how we wanted them. He was also very honest and transparent about payment. I will definitely be getting him to design more for our house in the future, the shelves and cupboards are great.

   I had a hideous 50's built in wardrobe that needed replacing, Derek made suggestions and sketches of what I wanted, measured up, built and delivered it, all flawlessly painted to my specs two weeks later, he had it all fitted and finished in a day, you would never know any work had been done, everything was spotless. Absolutely delighted. (I should add I'm his brother so you won't trust me but check out the other reviews...!!)

   Derek has designed and fitted several amazing cupboards, wardrobes, bench seat and bedside cabinets for our newly renovated home. His designs and quality of work are simply amazing. All our visitors remark on his fantastic craftmanship, thoughtfulness and design. Derek was recommended to us by several friends who he had designed and fitted furniture for. Their furniture too, was outstanding and this is why we asked Derek to help us. From start to finish Derek provides an amazing service and is the most delightful man to work with. We wish you all the very best, Derek. With all our thanks Pam and Steve
