Crossling Furniture

Nick’s work is fantastic. He is reliable and extremely friendly and trustworthy. His work has been so good that we’ve commissioned him again. He has an eye for design and detail and is a real perfectionist, which is reflected in the exceptionally high quality of work he delivers. I would (and have) very highly recommend Nick’s work.

In 2008 I was in need of joinery work in my house and had a recommendation by a friend to Nick Crossling who has now worked on several projects for me. These include a massive 3.5 metre run of open bookshelves incorporating space for record albums and CDs and a 2.8 metre television unit with drawers below, a 2.5 metre sideboard unit with cupboards and drawers, and various shelves and cupboard fittings. My requirements were very specific in that the units should be floating with no plinth and Nick created and fitted these with great enthusiasm and ability to overcome the technical problems. In 2011 he made and fitted a magnificent 3 metre English Ash worktop with plywood cupboards to form a workstation. The cupboards have sliding doors which glide effortlessly and I had the pleasure of seeing the Ash planks in his workshop before they were trimmed and jointed. And most recently, in 2016, he transformed the dead area under our stairs with full depth drawers which gave us an unbelievably large storage space. The drawers are on substantial runners so they can be fully pulled out. I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of his work.

We are so pleased with the work Nick completed for us and the service he provided. We had ‘modular’ type shelving built either side of the chimney, with a tv cupboard fitted one one side. Nick was extremely patient whilst we tweaked our designs and gave us his honest opinion on the decisions we made. He took extreme care over the finished work and I honestly cannot fault it. We have recommended him to all our friends and would not hesitate to hire him again for any future project!

Nick has worked with us on a number of small projects over the last year. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and professional, he does exactly what he says he will do. The quality of his work and attention to detail is second to none. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. Highly recommend.

Nick is highly skilled and conscientious. He offered his guidance when we were planning the work and executed it to perfection.

We had a big job undertaken by Nick and could not be happier with the results. This included two built in wardrobes (including one for a dressing room), two build in cupboards, a bookcase and a TV stand. The planning, design and build were seamless and there were no nasty surprises in terms of time or cost.

We commissioned Nick to design and build units for our living room to house all of our AV equipment and our collection of records, CDs, DVDs and games. He worked very closely with us from the outset, advising on appropriate materials and suggesting ways to improve on our original ideas. His attention to detail is first class. As a result, we have beautifully made units custom built for the space, but with the added advantage that they can be moved, should we ever move house, and taken with us as pieces of hand crafted furniture. It's the feature we look at every time we sit down to watch television or listen to music, and it brings us delight!

I have known Nick for about five years and he has completed at least three projects for us, mainly cupboards. Reliable, keeps to budget and to time. Great attention to detail. Minimal time in property as everything prepared at distance and fitting usually 1-2 days. Came back for minor snags such as a drilling a hole for a phone line and dealing with a bowing ceiling that required re-sealing to the top of the cupboard. No hidden expense, always personable. Can't recommend highly enough.

Nick has made and fitted several items for us. The work has always been of the highest quality. Nick is passionate about what he does. He gives good advice without being pushy. Nick is very reliable and a pleasure to have in the house!

Superb work from Nick who designed and fitted an alcove media cabinet for our living room. Nick is a perfectionist and his work really exceeded our expectations. Nick built the cabinet in his workshop and spent a day meticulously fitting it. Our cabinet is truly bespoke and the quality is superb. I have no hesitation in recommending Nick. His attention to detail and professionalism is fantastic. We will be commissioning him again!

I commissioned Nick to build a bespoke musical amplifier stand in American oak. After giving Nick some specific parameters he was able to produce a unique and yet functional design. After receiving the finished product, I was absolutely thrilled with the overall finish and attention to detail. Nick is a true craftsman, in every sense of the word. Throughout the project Nick communicated with me to ensure the final product was exactly what I wanted. Nick is not just a master craftsman but an artist as well. Highly recommended.
