Various joinery jobs
Scott has done several pieces of work at my property, both, internal and external, between September – December 2020. The quality of his work is outstanding and, his cost is reasonable. I can be fussy but it was impossible for me to find any fault with him or the quality of his work. He is a very hard worker, dedicated, punctual, reliable, pays attention to detail, and does his work with utmost integrity. He is also respectful, easy going, listens to and considers the customer’s wishes and adapts to suit. He is trustworthy – so much so, that I gave him a key to my property when I was at work and, I had no anxiety about this. He has the highest regard and respect for one’s property, whether one is present or not. It has been a privilege and honour to have Scott do the work he has done for me, so far. There are other work that he will be doing at my property but, I have a few months to wait for his availability – this is not a surprise given his calibre as a Joiner, the excellent quality of his work and his wonderful personality.

Bespoke bike canopy
Core Joinery built us a bespoke corner garden canopy in our backyard. It was an awkward space, which I wanted to be used for storing the kids bikes. Scott came over to gave me a quote and spent some time ensuring he got the measurements and what I wanted right. He then sent me an itemised quote for the work (something you rarely get with builders/joiners) within a couple days. When he came over to do the work he again confirmed the plan. I appreciated this thorough approach to the job. He worked quickly getting the job done. He was polite, professional and tidy. And perhaps, most importantly, he did a beautiful job. I was only after something that was functional but somehow he made it look nice at the same. I was very happy with the work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or contact him for future projects.

Scott at Core Joinery has just completed a staircase refurbishment for us, undoing a horrible 1970s wrought iron make over back to wooden spindles in keeping with an Edwardian hallway. Superb quality job – precise, decent finish, real attention to detail, treated it like his own home. More than happy to recommend. Scott’s quote was slightly higher than others, but his prices are very fair based on the additional work, time and effort he puts in for a higher quality finish and precise match to existing décor. He doesn’t cut corners. Also to say that he’s very trustworthy, no hesitation in leaving him to it while we were out at work. And he left the house cleaner than he’d found it!

You did a really good job for us back in 2017, converting our under stair space into two pull out cupboards and fitting out the remaining space into a toilet room.

Thank you for the very good job you have done for us today converting our kitchen units so that we can have space for a stand alone dish washer.

Scott recently installed an Edwardian-type spindle balustrade at the top of my stairs. He was professional, quick yet thorough and - perhaps most importantly - his attention to detail was second to none.

Bespoke under stairs storage (pull out units) plus kitchen unit
Scott over 5 days built a, 3 door/ pull out drawer under stairs cupboard, and a tall kitchen cabinet in the style of our existing kitchen cabinets. The under stairs cupboard was a difficult shape and thus without a bespoke build the under stairs space would have largely been wasted.
Scott visited us several times, before commencing work, to discuss design options and provided many useful ideas.
The under stairs cupboard was very neatly, and well built and provides lots of storage space.
The kitchen cabinet is sturdy and fits in well with our existing units. During the build Scott ensured that every evening, before leaving our house, he vacumed and tidied up thus ensuring the build was stress free. Scott was always punctual.
I would recommend Scott to anyone

He is a very hard worker, dedicated, punctual, reliable, pays attention to detail, and does his work with utmost integrity. He is also respectful, easy going, listens to and considers the customer’s wishes and adapts to suit. He is trustworthy – so much so, that I gave him a key to my property when I was at work and, I had no anxiety about this. He has the highest regard and respect for one’s property, whether one is present or not. It has been a privilege and honour to have Scott do the work he has done for me, so far. There are other work that he will be doing at my property but, I have a few months to wait for his availability – this is not a surprise given his calibre as a Joiner, the excellent quality of his work and his wonderful personality.

I was particularly impressed by your resolve to sort the door lock when parts required were hard to find, along with the Velux blind which required ordering in specially. These were both problems you could have quite easily been passed on to me but sorted with the minimum of disruption and delay. All work was completed to a high standard and I will have no hesitation in using you again / recommending your service to others.

Fitted Wardrobes
Scott replaced a fitted wardrobe and did a thoroughly professional job. I have been delighted with the result. He was even kind enough to empty and refill my wardrobes as I had only recently come out of hospital and this was much appreciated. I can recommend his workmanship 100% and I hope I will be able to use him again in the future.

Staircase
This is the second time we have used Scott; the first was to fit 5 interior doors which were done with care and detail. This time Scott constructed a staircase for us. Super craftsmanship and eye for detail and nothing to much trouble. Fantastic job and cleaned up afterwards. This guy is a real five star craftsman and we would highly recommend him.

Alcove shelves and stairs
We asked Scott to custom build some alcove shelves and to refit our stairs with spindles. He fitted us in very quickly, always arrived on time, was very professional and helpful throughout, and always cleaned up after himself. We are delighted with the results, an excellent job and good value for money when you see the workmanship involved - we would definitely use Scott again and recommend him highly.
