Alex Burgess Carpentry

We feel very lucky to have had Alex manage our wardrobe project. Everything was done perfectly, especially the attention to detail.

We recently moved into a very old house and had quite a long list of things that needed fixing or improving. Alex helped us with several projects including fitting a bookcase, working on our utility room, and a range of other miscellaneous jobs around the house. He was reliable, professional, and very easy to work with throughout. The quality of the work was excellent and everything was completed with great attention to detail. He also offered helpful suggestions along the way, which we really appreciated.

I can't recommend Alex highly enough, we were delighted with his ideas, his attention to detail, finish and ability to spot other simple jobs that he could quickly sort for us. We're delighted with our new shelves, door and mantlepiece, he is a true craftsman....thank you so much Alex - Have a lovely Christmas.

Alex made a really great floor to ceiling solid oak room divider for us. Three years on and it's still attracting compliments from everyone who visits. Alex worked with our basic drawings and created a classic and beautiful piece of architecture. It was really easy dealing with Alex, discussing options and agreeing a design was a pleasure. More important is that his craftsmanship is second to none. We have no hesitation in recommending this guy's beautiful work.

Alex did a brilliant job and built beautiful bespoke cabinetry, shelving and wardrobes in our bedroom and living room. We are delighted with the result and get compliments from all our guests.

We asked Alex to build us some fitted shelves and alcove storage for our living room and we're so pleased with the result - they look fantastic. From his first visit, he kept in regular contact with advice/suggestions and to let us know how the build was progressing. We also incidentally talked about our flooring plans with him and he ended up offering suggestions and installing that for us, too (this also looks super). Alex is clearly very knowledgeable and takes a lot of pride in his work, thinking about small details and finishes, as well as working really tidily. We would definitely highly recommend Alex to any friends who are ever looking for a carpenter.

We have recently commissioned Alex to build a bespoke media wall with cupboards and shelving and another commission of a wood panelled frame and doors enclosure for the understairs area in our new barn conversion. Firstly, we must say that Alex is a pleasure to work with, he listens carefully to what is required and uses his creativity to come up with the perfect design to match the brief. His attention to the smallest detail is spot on. We could not be happer with the work Alex has completed for us and we would highly reccommend him, we would have no hesitation in calling uopn Alex's services again. Paula and Julian

This is the 2nd time we have used Alex to guild a TV media unit at our new house as well as our home office. We have been extremely pleased with his designs and finished work. He is highly skilled and has a keen eye for detail. I would highly recommend Alex.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alex on a variety of home improvement projects, and I cannot express how satisfied I am with his work. From building and installing a stunning media wall to creating a beautiful vanity unit and tackling several side jobs, Alex's professionalism and attention to detail truly set him apart. First and foremost, the media wall he designed and built exceeded all of my expectations. It not only added a touch of sophistication to my living room but also provided the perfect focal point for my entertainment system. The craftsmanship was exceptional, and it perfectly complemented the aesthetics of my home. The vanity unit he installed in my bathroom was another masterpiece. It was not just functional but also added an element of luxury to my space. His ability to combine style and practicality is truly commendable. What impressed me the most about Alex, aside from his exceptional skills, was his dedication to getting every detail right. He meticulously paid attention to the finer points of each project, ensuring that the end result was nothing short of perfection. His work was not rushed, and he took the time to make sure everything was flawless. In addition to his craftsmanship, Alex's professionalism shone throughout our engagement. He was punctual, reliable, and communicative. He kept me updated on the progress of the projects and was always ready to address any questions or concerns I had. Overall, I can't recommend Alex highly enough. If you're looking for a skilled professional who can transform your space with a keen eye for detail, Alex is the one to choose. His work has truly elevated my home, and I am delighted with the results. Thank you, Alex, for your outstanding work and for making my home more beautiful and functional. You are a true master of your craft, and I am grateful for the exceptional service you provided.

Alex and Rob built us a bar-bookcase (photo attached, although taken before the final touch up paint had been applied to some caulk and the mirror cleaned up) and it turned out exactly as I'd hoped. Even so, it still gave me that slack-jaw moment when I saw the finished article. It wasn't the easiest of jobs either, since the bar was built into an alcove and extended into a bookcase across the chimney breast, linked beautifully with an oak counter top. It also had to encompass a wine cooler that needs to be removable and due to the close proximity of an inconveniently placed radiator, Alex made the left-hand column easily detachable. He's a perfectionist and it pays off, having fully understood the requirements and delivered a top quality product.

Alex has fitted a beautiful home office area area into alcoves in our flat. In terms of workmanship, the quality of what we have is amazing, we have curves in the solid oak desks, an under desk drawer with pencil tray, curved cupboards and an elegant mix of white/oak veneer. It has transformed our room and provided us with much needed and stylish storage and desk space. Our space was always left tidy during the fitting period and Alex worked with minimal disruption to us. In terms of communication, from start to finish, he has communicated with us and kept us up to date with how the project is developing in the workshop and we were provided a timeline from the beginning. He was very professional, always getting back to us, fitting when he planned to do so and visiting our space to help us plan the office space in the early stages. The quote we were provided had a clear breakdown of costs and we paid what we were quoted. We would highly recommend Alex for any bespoke work you need, his attention to detail and patience in the design stages and final quality of work is all fabulous :)

Alex installed a birch ply shelving for books and display across the whole wall of my dining room. He prepared with great care which allowed me to incorporate my specific needs in the design. His workmanship is superb and he took great care in ensuring a stunning installation. I am very pleased with the outcome.
