DC Woodwork

"Darren gave me the kitchen I’ve always longed for. I wanted to keep the old cabinets and doors, move some appliances and have new worktops. Darren, with his problem-solving skills and carpentry expertise, made this happen. Great attention to detail and it shows. I particularly liked the upstand screws being covered with wood plugs, sanded to fit flush - the same Iroko wood as the worktop. My kitchen was left clean and tidy at the end of each day and floor protection was used. Darren provided a detailed quote and is up front with any additional costs. I found pricing very reasonable, considering the skilled craftsmanship that was employed. Communication was excellent - emails to and fro before commencing the job and texts to let me know if he was held up in traffic for example. The kitchen looks great! Thank you Darren."

"Darren was brilliant. Very prompt and responsive with a quote, really helped when working with Howdens to agree the design for a side cabinet and cupboards. Also great with ideas and quick with the bespoke install. Would highly recommend!"

"Darren recently built a bookcase into an alcove in my living room; given the dimensions, the task was not straightforward but, he was able to use his extensive knowledge and years of expertise to suggest ways he could complete the task to the satisfaction of us both. The result is impressive and a testament to Darren's skill, eye for detail and aesthetic ability; I am delighted with the finished product."

"Darren completed two bespoke projects in our home, a faux chimney breast/built in cupboard and a built in wardrobe. He was very helpful in suggesting ideas and problem solving, co-ordinated in bringing a plasterer so as to be able to complete the first job and finished both jobs to a high standard. Communication was good and he was reliable throughout. Overall we are really happy with the end result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend if you are in need of a carpenter."

"Darren is a highly creative craftsman who has a great idea of aesthetic (modern, classics, whatever suits the room) and also highly practical in terms of building things to function well and last, from bespoke wardrobes and creative dining room storage benches to fireplaces, desks and shoe wracks. He is a great collaborator and can work to a very clear spec as well as work with you to design. I would highly recommend his work."
