Clearing the interior of a static caravan and creating a new sitting room and bathroom

This was a slightly awkward project because of the restricted space. Richards bespoke work and input on sourcing the items needed was invaluable… A huge thank you to Richard and his team.

Mrs Jayne Dillon, Guildford

 

Open fronted log storage

This is one of many bespoke jobs completed for us by Richard and his team over the years… The work went very smoothly and was finished slightly ahead of schedule.

Excellent job, professional, courteous. Good communication before and during the project. It was great to watch professionals doing a job that they obviously enjoy! We received great advice before and during the project. The end project is everything we hoped for, our thanks go to Richard and Gus

Mr. & Mrs. Bookham, Guildford

Clearing the Interior of a Static Caravan and Creating a New Sitting Room and Bathroom. The Installation of a New Gas Cooker Was Also Managed by Barnwood.

This was a slightly awkward project because of the restricted space. Richards bespoke work and input on sourcing the items needed was invaluable. What was also hugely appreciated was the work wasn’t delayed because of a brief hospital stay of my own. I had good updates at the end of each day and when I returned home the work was completed to their usual high standard and everything was clean and tidy. The overall improvement was actually beyond my expectations. A huge thank you to Richard and his team.

Mrs. Jayne Dillon, Guildford

 

Open-Fronted Log Storage

This is one of many bespoke jobs completed for us by Richard and his team over the years. The design advise and materials used were perfect for this project. I had roof tiles from previous demolition and they were readily used to complete the softened and not too new look of the building. As always the work went very smoothly and was finished slightly ahead of schedule.

Mrs. Jayne Dillon, Guildford

 

New Fencing, New Shed, New Glazed Patio Roof, New Patio Furniture and Storage

Everything was done to a very high standard, on time, within the quoted price and left clean and tidy. Very pleased with the work.

Mr. Kite, Guildford

 

Two Oak Porch Frames

Richard is a proper craftsman and built some lovely oak frames for 2 new porches in our renovated house. Sourced some nice green oak and worked on site to make the beams and support posts with proper joints and dowels etc. Worked well with myself and the builder to solve any problems. All good and I would recommend Richard and Barnwood

Mr. David Brown, Guildford

 

Constructed Built-In Shelving

Very fast, excellent quality work and attention to detail, and showed a very good understanding of our requirements, selected good materials, with a sensible and competitive price. Highly recommended.

Mr. Jeff Shaw, Guildford

 

One External Door Fitted, Including Door Frame. Second External Door Re-Hung and New Draft Excluder Fitted.

Richard saved us money on this job by pointing out that one of the doors was in good condition and new draft excluders and lock would resolve the problems we were having with it. The job involved a small amount of electrical work and Richard contacted our electrician beforehand to agree timings for the electrician and himself.

Clandon C Of E Primary School, Guildford

 

Floorboard Work Around House and Staircase.

The team were very friendly, flexible, professional and provided excellent value for money. We are so pleased that our staircase no longer squeaks. I will definitely be using Barnwood Carpentry for future carpentry work and would highly recommend to others.

Mrs. Davis, Guildford
