Advanced Craft Carpentry

Having read the reviews of Karl's work, I knew I was not on my own. He replaced a Courtyard Gate. Small but a very important job to reflect the environment.1st class craftman, person of commitment and integrity. You have no need to look any further.

Karl was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He worked hard and long hours in difficult situations without complaint to get the job done. Full consultation was always given when making decisions regarding the various works around the property. I would highly recommend using Karl if you want a professional service at a very reasonable price.

The staircase on the Victorian terrace house is over 100 years old. The staircase was creaking and moving whenever someone walked on it. Karl repaired it and made it feel like new. He replaced all the balusters and handrail and some treads. He reinforced the old parts and secured everything in its proper place. A very nice sample of carpentry skill.

I feel fortunate to have found Karl to complete carpentry work on my Sydney terrace, upgrading the balcony's hardwood beams and decking and replacing the weatherboard cladding on the attic dormers. Karl has a lifetime's knowledge and experience but it's his conscientiousness and attention to detail that are the real stand-out qualities. He literally approaches his work as if it's for his own place. You really couldn't ask for more and I'm looking forward to engaging Karl again for future works.

We had a number of jobs that needed doing on our house including fixing a water damaged ceiling, several new doors, decking repair and various other carpentry tasks. Karl provided a quote and a good timescale for completion which we accepted. He executed the work meticulously, to a high standard, to budget and on time. Unlike some other contractors I have experienced, he started when he said he would, and dedicated himself to our project full time every day until it was completed. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Karl is not only a top quality carpenter/builder, he is a craftsman who takes care in his work and genuinely cares for his clients. We gave Karl some tricky jobs, including finishing four skylights that had not been completed properly and access was difficult. Karl worked his way around the issues and now our house looks awesome inside. Outside, we had two tricky cabinets to build. Half a dozen neighbours have told us that we now have the best looking bin tidy in the neighbourhood! Karl is highly recommended!

Karl was absolutely fantastic in every way! Amazing person who is just so accommodating and easy to get on with. We changed our minds several times about the work we wanted doing and how we wanted it, where and materials etc. Karl was so understanding and patient and gave us great advice. The work he did was of exceptional quality and he is so clean, tidying away his things every night and fully cleaning up. I can’t recommend him enough! My only wish was that Karl made himself a coffee when we were out but he refused to go into our fridge for the milk, despite us leaving the coffee, mug and kettle out for him :) ha ha !
