Rather like saying Tiger Woods works with golf balls. They are not artists, they are hugely talented tradesmen. And if it can me made of wood, they can do it. Over the years, for me, they have: Made a kitchen worksurface. Repaired a 200 year old chair. Made a bed. Made new window frames and door frames. Re-made my house barge boards to match. Repaired a picture frame. Re-built a pre-war car wooden frame. Made replacement architrave. Are you getting the idea? Don't bother looking for them on the Internet - they aren't that kind of business. But, if you need something in wood, go.

He was a good collaborator, always helping us come up with ideas, providing suggestions, and being flexible as we figured out the choices we wanted to make. When we hit problems or complications, he was incredibly patient in working with us to find the best solutions. He also brought in a great team of people to work on the job - special commendations to Sebastien (who ran the build site), and Mariusz, who did top notch plumbing work. He takes pride in his work, and was happy to address any concerns we had, and snags that came up at the finish of the project. We'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for an affordable and professional builder.

I love my house because it's old and has character, but this is just code for it's a nightmare to…read moremaintain and look after! After two very cold winters, the thought of another one was too much to bare, something had to be done about our drafty front door. The first hurdle was finding a door that was fitting for the house, despite the age of the house we luckily had a standard sized door so I found one on web and had it delivered. The second was finding someone reliable to fit the door. I did what anyone would do and typed - Carpenter E3 - into Google and I found a site called mybuilder.com. This is were I found E5 Carpentry, which I selected based on their great reviews, location in E5 just down the road and detailed website. I emailed my enquiry and I received a quick reply from Calum, whilst he was on holiday! When he was back I received a very reasonable quote and I booked him in to do the job and he was kind enough to squeeze me in on a Saturday. The day for fitting arrived and it was raining. Rain and untreated doors don't go together. After about 20 minutes of wishing the rain to stop we abandoned for the day. Work resumed on bank holiday Monday and the weather was much better (I felt so bad that they gave up their day off!) Calum and Oscar had the patience of saints. The door frame was a nightmare, in short nothing was straight and as one niggle was solved another appeared straight away! They worked tirelessly throughout the day to get the door weatherproof. They kept the work contained and cleared up as they went along. The door was painted the next morning. I was very cheeky and asked if the door frame could be smartened up too and they managed to squeeze in the extra work for me they next day. I'm so pleased with my new door. It's really made the house feel more ours. I will definitely be keeping Calum's number for future work.
