Testimonials
Just a few of the many positive testimonials I’ve received from satisfied customers over the years.
“Hugh did a magnificent job creating exactly what we asked for with our wall of floor to ceiling bookshelves. They are beautifully made, including a bespoke oak ladder, in the time frame agreed. Extremely happy.”
– Mr Landles, Lower Heyford
“Hugh did a terrific job of scratch building two wardrobes/cupboard units in awkward and irregular spaces. Workmanship and attention to detail was excellent. He fully discussed the brief, advising us on potential pitfalls and some practical considerations we hadn’t thought of. Once complete, he had followed the brief fully and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.”
– Mr Farrow, Launton.
“I highly rate Hugh, having commissioned him for two separate projects in my home. Not only a highly skilled craftsman, Hugh has the ability to take ideas and inspiration as part of a brief, bringing them to life prior to starting work. Hugh’s work is faultless, he has a great work ethic and if that wasn’t enough he is extremely tidy. I have a very old house with unusual proportion, this has not impeded Hugh in any way, and any developments he had on the job he has always picked up the phone and talked them through. Overall: great craftsman with a superb attention to detail delivering fantastic, well built joinery.”
– Mr Horan, Bladon
“Hugh has helped us with a number of projects over the years from skirting boards, to kitchen worktops, to bookcases, cupboards and wardrobes. Always polite, professional and helpful in interpreting my poor sketches and working to an agreed budget. He is punctual and tidy and we have always been delighted with the end result. We have recommended him to friends in the past and would not hesitate to do so again.”
– Mrs Miles, Begbrooke
“Hugh built a fitted double wardrobe in the main bedroom, and a bookcase and a display cupboard with interior lighting in the sitting room. I chose Hugh after rejecting other quotes from local carpenters and I asked him to return several times to build further storage and some garden projects. Once I had outlined my ideas, Hugh brought his own designs to fit the space in my cottage and he took into account the proportions and character to enhance the house sympathetically. Hugh was prepared to adjust the construction as we went along, so that I was more than delighted with the final design. Hugh is a careful and meticulous carpenter. He is completely trustworthy. He has high standards of work which I appreciated. Four years along and my cupboards look as good as new. I am very happy to recommend Hugh’s work to you.”
– Mrs Balfe, Middle Barton.
