Carpenters and Joiners in Five Oaks, West Sussex

“I hired Carter Van Hagen to make me a built in wardrobe for my bedroom. Throughout the whole project they were very collaborative and accommodating to my needs and at the end of the project I was thrilled with the results. Definitely recommend and will be using for future projects!”

“We needed a carpenter to do a couple of jobs in our house. We were recommended Adrian. He was prompt, polite, tidy, efficient and did an excellent job. He re-inforced our stairs, fitted a skirting board and fixed our squeaky floor boards that have been a problem for years. We were very pleased with the results. We will definitely use him again and have already recommended to others.”

“Great work on a number of projects including decking, bespoke gates and fencing and a number of internal projects (windows, doors and more). Very reliable, does what he says to a high standard at a good price. Comes up with some good ideas too.”

“Louis and Sam built us a large double-glazed window in high-spec wood (no shrinking, very robust etc). Excellent quality and design, lets in more light, much admired. They stand out as they put such thought and detail into the piece of work so we knew we were in safe hands. Will use them again without any hesitation, next for bi-fold doors. They are very knowledgeable and really care about the result they produce. Craftsmen like this are not easy to find. Produced our window at short notice, arrived on time, worked late until it was finished.”

“Tom recently laid an engineered wood floor in my living room, together with new skirting boards. His work is of the highest quality and the end result is impressive. He works carefully and thoroughly and charges a fair price for his services. The project cost shown below refers to labour costs and incidental materials, but does not include the cost of the wood, which I purchased myself. Tom has also done other work for me, including rebuilding a complicated garden shed, and re-tiling a fireplace and fire surround, with which I am equally pleased. I would recommend him unreservedly.”

“Zamm made our bespoke Island,Tree shelf and Staircase for the showroom in Hove all are fantastic quality plus Zamm makes all our kitchen cabinets and doors for the bespoke range”

“The Wright Joinery constructed a beautiful range of joinery items for my home including a walk-in-wardrobe with integrated lighting, living room shelving, an office storage shelving system, a vanity unit with a reclaimed worktop and headboards with fitted lights. The pieces were all really well made but without breaking the bank! As a company they were a pleasure to interact with, coordinating seamlessly with Woodmans Construction so we had no delays during the house renovation. All the units were spray-painted in their workshop and the quality of the paint finish was excellent. Also the installers were really experienced and took their time carefully fitting them. I'm very happy with the results and would certainly recommend them as a company as well as not hesitate to use them again in the future.”

“I've engaged Tapping Carpentry on a number of occasions, and would highly recommend them. So far I have used them for jobs relating to my business premises, but will also soon be asking for quotes for built in furniture at my home. They have always been on time, in budget, and most of all take a sense of pride in their work - something which unfortunately appears to be a rarity today.”

“A level of professionalism and patience rarely displayed these days. Work was of the highest quality and executed as intended. Luke took the time to explain the process, his pricing was incredibly competitive given the quality, polite and really went above and beyond to deliver a transformation to my rear garden. Work undertaken included a new deck, cedar slat fencing and accompanying trellis. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family.”

“Ashcrest Joinery did a lot of work for us during 2021, including: new internal doors designed in 1930's style to suit the house; sliding barn door style for the kitchen; external garage doors; new office furniture including desk and sideboard. The many positives include: 1. It is wonderful to have bespoke hand made furniture in solid wood from a local carpenter; 2. The quality of the work is outstanding and has made a huge positive difference to our house; 3. Although expensive compared to off-the shelf products, Ashcrest Joinery was significantly cheaper and more flexible than quotes we got from much bigger companies; 4. Rob Coe and his team are really nice people - it was a pleasure to do business with this company. There were also a few negatives: 2021 was a difficult year with Covid delays of all sorts; Ashcrest was a small business going through growing pains, and Rob had a tendency to take on more than he could manage, so delivery dates suffered - it all took a lot longer than originally planned, and I had to draw on my reserves of patience. But I am totally delighted with the results, which I enjoy every day homeworking, sitting at and enjoying my beautiful desk designed just for me; and my wife Anja enjoys the beautiful doors every day. I have already ordered my next project with Ashcrest and I'm sure I will continue to be a loyal and happy customer for years to come. Thank you Rob Coe, thank you Ashcrest!”
