BARNWOOD CARPENTRY provided the most excellent service for with fitting a lovely barn door in my rather slanted cottage They were professional, efficient, friendly and tidy. The price was very reasonable too I can’t recommend them enough Thank you RichardPosted on Franco GuerrieroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very thorough creative and professional, we are very pleased with the results considering the difficulties to achieve the goal of eliminating the draft.Posted on Kurt von TrappTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so pleased with the work Barnwood Carpentry have recently done for us in one of our upstairs rooms. The built in bookcase is a work of art and the cupboard doors have really smartened the room up. The team are so helpful and nothing is too much trouble. I would not hesitate to recommend Barnwood. A very slick operation.Posted on Andrew RichardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Third visit from Barnwood to do another big project at our house. We are very pleased with our new oak framed porch over our back door and the remodelling of our utility room. Richard and team always produce excellent results and are super easy to deal with. Highly recommend!!Posted on Lucy SnowballTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. High quality work. Super easy to arrange, communicate, plan and design.Posted on Nicola MolletTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barnwood built us a fabulous barn garage. It was a complex project as needed to be embedded in a bank with a number of particular bespoke specifications. We can’t praise the team enough for their communication, efficiency and effectiveness. The entire team were always hard working, positive, polite and considerate in their approach to the project. There was daily communication as to what was happening and when. Any decisions were checked with us and we worked together to create a best solution. The end result is a great barn garage space with a stunning space upstairs. We are really delighted with the end result and it has added enormously to our home. Enormous thanks to the entire team and we look forward to using you again.Posted on Nigel WilkinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This review is rather long... please read... this company is special in many ways... Jo and I live in a mid 19th century cottage. The house had some upgrades In the 1980's/90's which included the addition of a hardwood conservatory and softwood pergola. We decided on a replacement conservatory but retaining the brick footings and wall, and the roof (which had been replaced and was still within warranty). The pergola needed replacing After discussions with a traditional UPVC provider and Richard we opted on having a matching oak conservatory and pergola, with an ambitious plan of retaining the existing roof structure with improved insulation and maximising glass coverage in the walls. Richard's whole approach to the pitch and the project planning processes was spot on. No surprises, no over promises and no over selling.... Just what we look for (and very rarely see!) Richard introduced us to Alec during the process, meaning no over commiting to the key carpenter. Everyone singing from the same sheet... We couldn't wait for the work to begin... The team put up a temporary workshop in the garden to allow all the woodworking to take place on site. The methodology used to retain the roof was simple but extremely effective... old structure came down, new went up... seamless. Every day was excellent... hard work, good communication and a complete clean-up at close of work. We knew exactly what was happening throughout and when there was the odd minor change in timings we knew quickly and expectations were managed. When it came to the pergola we were invaded by the whole team, and the build process (including the retaining of a mature intricately entwined vine, unharmed!) took two days... sensational!!! Every single member of the team was hard working, visibly proficient, tidy and very polite... it really was a pleasure to have the team around (If hones, how often can you say that when having a building project done?) The project went to plan, but finished earlier than the "out date" we were given. We don't really want to single anyone out, but feel that a special mention is justified for Alec who has displayed exceptional carpentry skills and left us with something we are truly in love with!!! Thank you. (But... we hear you say, you couldn't have done it without all your helpers) Richard and Tabitha came round to discuss the final bill (a really nice touch) and the very small additional costs were fully recognised and unquestionably fair. Finally... one of the two main guys noticed a very minor impurity in one of the glass panes, bought it to our attention and we agreed a plan of how to manage it... we would not have seen this in the first place and many would not have pointed it out. What a statement of the kind of people who run this business!!! Trust is key. This company engenders it at all levels... Thank you all so much!

Barnwood Carpentry completed an excellent job repairing two wooden posts on my front door porch.Posted on Jane DyeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly, hard working, polite team of guys. Really pleased with the study unit we had built.Posted on Natasha WestburyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Superb craftsmanship, and excellent team. We had bought a reclaimed front door, which had been renovated, but still required sizing and hanging. The team from Barnwood were superb, great with our dog 🙂 (who is always a good judge of trades folk) and worked brilliantly to time, barely stopping during the day. Highly recommend Barnwood Carpentry, skilled craftsman who really care about doing a top job!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
