William Allen Carpentry and Joinery

Will responded quickly to a query about replacing old sash windows in our late Victorian terraced house. We wanted something to match the style of the old windows but to be double glazed, draught proof and made of real wood. He seemed to share our vision, was enthusiastic about the job and, after ensuring he had a full understanding of what we wanted, came up with a quotation. Having had a similar job done in London relatively recently his price seemed reasonable. He was honest about the time we would have to wait until he could slot us in. In due course the job was started slightly earlier than we expected, and completed in a timely fashion. We were pleasantly surprised by the lack of disruption, particularly in respect of the front bay window which he and his colleague managed to fit in 1 day. All the windows looked great and the installation seemed to go without any hitches. Throughout the process Will was friendly and informative. Once the windows were fitted he returned to complete all the restitution around the interior walls. A small problem with the sash mechanism on one window was immediately rectified. His recommendation of a painter to apply the finishing touches provided an excellent conclusion to the work. In every respect the work was efficiently and effectively done. We were very happy with the quality of the materials and his attention to detail, and feel the new windows have made a great improvement to the house.

Will did a great job. Will overhauled our sash windows, built two new doors and fixed old ones. He also attended to lots of other bits and pieces around the house. He kept to time and to the price quoted and we were very pleased with the results.

We recently had work completed by Will Allen - had the kitchen refurbished with new work tops and also had wood panelling fitted in the hallway - can honestly say the workmanship - professionalism and attention to detail were second to none. Would not hesitate to recommend Will and his team. We will definitely use him for future work. Excellent job done

Will made replacement French doors and a dormer window, as well as carrying out other renovations around our house. The items were made expertly and fitted with care, despite him having to cope with the structural quirks of our Victorian house. Will turned up reliably, and kept us fully informed about all the work.

Repair to sash window frames. All completed to highest quality within agreed timeframes and budget. Excellent communication throughout the work programme and a pleasure to deal with the company

Highly recommended. Will demonstrated professionalism efficiency and great workmanship. He was able to carry out the work required promptly to meet our requirements. We will definitely be seeking Wills skills on future projects.
