We used Scott after we bought a repossessed house in Coventry and needed all of the wordwork…read morerenewing in most of the rooms (doors, skirting board, dado rail, architrave). He came out to have a look and gave us a quote for materials and labour and then started a few days later, as we didn't live in the house we just gave him a key and let him work and a couple of days later all of the woodwork had been ripped out and the new items installed and it looked fantastic. Scott was an honest guy and we would use him again whenever we need a carpenter!

From the owner: I specialise in most aspects of carpentry and joinery. With over 15 years experience as a carpenter…read moreand joiner I can carry out jobs from assembling flat pack furniture, fitting skirting boards and dado rail to building made to measure staircases, fitted kitchens and roofing. I can also offer kitchen planning, design and installation where I manage the project from start to finish. This is includes the removal of your old kitchen and management of other tradesmen such as plasterers, plumbers and electricians.

I have used this carpenter on a few occasions (careless tenants!) and can highly recommend him! His…read moreis quick, efficient and cleans up well after himself. He will tell you the cheapest way to do things and not charge you for unnecessary work. I trust him to have a key to properties where I need work done. He is self-employed, so it is nice to support a small, local tradesman, and this is reflected in his prices which are reasonable.

Please do yourself a favour DO NOT employ this foul mouthed trader…read more His past reviews I went by, must have been written by himself. Shoddy work, total rip off merchant. I can supply pictures of his bad workmanship. Absolutely terrible. Caused me and my family heartache and so much stress. He's taken the cash, not finished the job and left all his mess. Find a professional to do the job right. Total BODGE JOB !!!!!!!

I wish I'd read the reviews prior to him carrying out any work!!…read moreHad asked Carl to supply and fit 8 Oak doors - he supplied/fitted 6, all of which were all shredded at the bottom where he'd cut to fit, and had threaded most screws. Demanded full payment after the first day, when two doors were still outstanding. And whilst waiting for me to leave work early, to bring his money (otherwise he would not finish the job) - he 'helped' himself (stole) some beer and crisps from my cupboards (cans/bags in 'non-recycle' bin, which I had to fish out!). I paid for the two remaining doors upfront..and not the work...and he never came back to finish work. Taking door money as payment. (£160 overcharge as result). Plus had to buy all new doors/fitted again to rectify shoddy work!! My neighbours also requested work from him whilst doing my job (not known by me until afterwards) he also messed up their doors too!! DO NOT ALLOW THIS TRADESMAN TO CARRY OUT ANY WORK!!

Avoid this man at all cost. He is a liar, an absolute chancer and a con man. He is not a joiner at…read moreall, just a man with a mitre saw that he can't use and a couple of chisels. He's a disgrace to his profession and gives good honest joiners a bad reputation. We paid to have 5 doors, door frames and Architraves fitted and he told us that it would be a 2 day job and everything would be complete. Day 1 - turns ups late and only for a couple of hours, rips the existing out, damages all the plaster and dumps the waste on my drive way, blocking my garage door. He doesn't even have a van so I had to spend a day taking it all to the skip in my car. Day 2 - didn't turn up because his 'car broke down'. Day 3 - turns up late again and only for a couple of hours. He fitted the door frames, doors and a few Architraves, cock up the bathroom lock, didn't fit a lock to the bedroom as requested and I have to say at this point that it's the worst workmanship I've seen. My mum could cut better mitres than him with a bread knife. He then pressured my wife into paying almost the full balance whilst I was in work and he said he would be back to finish the following day. Day 4 - no sign of him, finally get in touch with him and he's now in hospital with a 'brain tumor' and won't be able to work again until after Xmas. That's a sad story but if you get a friend to call him off a different phone number he is fit and well, taking on new work and looking for his next victim. All in all, the guy is a disgrace and having given him £600 I have to buy new materials and spend the next few weekends sorting out the mess he's made.
