What our customers say
Most of our work comes by word of mouth, and has done since 1976. Here are a few kind words customers have sent us over the years, reproduced with their permission.
“Michael and David designed our kitchen around our Aga and the shape of the room. They used English oak and hand-cut the drawer fronts. The quality is obvious every time we open a cupboard. They fitted it themselves, and it is perfect.”— Mrs P. Whitmore, Thame
“We needed a new staircase in our period cottage. They made it in oak with traditional details, and it looks as though it has always been there. The craftsmanship is exceptional.”— Mr T. Farrow, Long Crendon
“Ronald restored our sash windows without replacing them. He draught-proofed them and replaced a few damaged pieces. They still work beautifully ten years on.”— Dr S. Hartley, Oxford
“We had fitted wardrobes made for our bedroom, with built-in shelving and drawers. They made the most of the alcoves and an odd corner. Every surface is flush and smooth. Excellent work.”— Mr and Mrs Hughes, Haddenham
“Michael made us a dining table in sapele. It is substantial and beautifully finished. Friends ask where we bought it. We tell them it was made by hand, just down the road in Thame.”— Mr J. Blackwell, Wheatley
“We needed our front door renewed, and they made a new one in oak that suits the age of the house. It is solid and secure, and looks wonderful.”— Mrs C. Dixon, Princes Risborough
“The joinery team repaired woodworm in our bedroom joists and made good a damaged window sill. They treated it properly and finished the work to conservation standards. Our surveyor was very pleased.”— Mr P. Ashworth, Chinnor
“We had a pergola built in the garden in English oak. It has weathered beautifully to a silver-grey. It has become a real focal point of the garden, and the quality is outstanding.”— Mrs R. Connelly, Aylesbury
