Very chuffed with my outdoor Christmas light holders. Bespoke handmade pieces and very unique. The attention to detail was everything to me. I can’t wait to put up my Christmas decorations this year.
Thank you again for repairing my shed roof and for my new kitchen worktops. Efficient and reliable. Very neat and tidy craftmanship. Will use again.
I love my upcycled oak coasters and tealight holder!! They have that rustic handmade look about them, which is great. My friends and family haven’t stopped commenting on them! I will be ordering some more soon, as they make ideal Christmas gifts. Thank you.

We can all agree that there’s something rather exquisite about wood. In fact, almost every home in the country contains a wood feature of some kind, whether it’s an antique cabinet, a dining room floor, or a quirky kitchen island. Fortunately for homeowners in Stowmarket, the standard of carpentry here is very high. This means that it is relatively easy to commission ‘one off’ bespoke pieces.
You might, for example, invest in carpentry services because you want to build a new staircase or restore an old one. Local carpenters build furniture from scratch and some even work on the foundations of houses, though you’ve got to make sure you hire the right kind of contractor for this.
