My only regret is that I didn't do this earlier. The team at Bespoke Carpentry London is very professional, well organised, reliable and affordable. They did a super job with my bespoke bookshelves. They were the only ones offering the pull-out tray for my desk. The team on site was super creative and flexible when I asked for a little tweak and addition to the original drawing. Honestly, it was a great, worry-free experience.

I just want to say my biggest appreciation to the Bespoke Carpentry London team. They have been so efficient and spectacular in helping me get the storage for my living room with a very awkward slanted ceiling structure. From the design team who so creative and helpful, to the operations department who were so supportive and very patient with me in scheduling the day for the building of the storage and the logistics and of course to the carpentry team who were so hardworking and efficient. They did my storage within a day. I was so impressed and in awe when I found out that they’ve finished the project that fast🤩, I actually booked a parking space for them for two days but lo and behold, PROJECT DONE within a day. Also, the team was so tidy and organised.They made sure that the work space was neat after they finished the project. That's what I call real professionals. It terms of the storage itself, they delivered what was promised as it looks so clean and on point and the materials used are top grade. And of course, the pricing was absolutely reasonable and worth it. Truly, am so thankful that I found this company and I would gladly recommend it to those who are looking for efficient, affordable but high quality work and service🤩🤩🤩

I recently had office shelving and cupboards designed and installed by Bespoke Carpentry London. I’m absolutely delighted with the results. My requirements meant I needed to have some cupboards, CD shelving in an alcove wall and I wanted it be practical as an office set up and look great. The design they came up with included enough space and clearance for a large printer/scanner an area for the cables to go into the cupboards and a cut out of the wall socket. There is also a vent in the top corner which was cut around so is able to fully work. Once the design was done I asked to see a starter version of the drawings as I wasn’t willing to put a deposit on without seeing it and the team were very obliging. I then made the deposit and was able to refine and discuss any changes. When it came to making the cabinet, Olly did a really tidy job and at the end of it I was asked to inspect the work and which I approved. The painting then commenced and Kos from Bespoke Carpentry London did the work. He noticed that the doors had a gap which he couldn’t ’make good’. I raised this with Bespoke Carpentry London and without any quibble they sent someone over and he decided that new doors needed to be made. Kos returned in the evenings to paint these so that there wasn’t a long delay. Sometimes mistakes and errors happen and I didn’t spot the error. Bespoke Carpentry London managed the mistake and made the whole process easy, stress free and gave me cabinets that I love. Throughout the process they stayed in contact (usually well within 24 hours of sending a message) and the whole team - builder, painter, office staff were all professional, friendly and customer orientated. I fully recommend them.

The craftsmanship and dedication of the Bespoke Carpentry team were outstanding throughout our project. From initial contact to the final touches, they were wonderfully attentive and professional. We worked together on a custom media unit that required materials and a design outside their usual scope, and they delivered fantastically. They were consistently communicative, punctual, and respectful of our space. I’m posting photos highlighting the fine details, as craftsmanship matters most in the close-ups. (You can likely find full-room photos of the project on their website.) I look forward to working with them again and highly recommend reaching out if you are considering them for a project.

Brilliant job on our under-eaves wardrobes! The team achieved a perfect custom fit, keeping our existing storage cupboards while adding proper hanging space too. Huge shoutout to Plamen, an absolute pleasure to have in our home, and to the whole team for their professionalism and attention to detail from measuring to finish. Couldn’t be happier with the result, highly recommend!

Tom Corcoran

Really great and efficient service the entire way through, and absolutely love our new media unit which the team really took the time to listen to and respond to our needs. Highly recommend.

I’m very pleased with my under-stair storage; a storage bench and pull outs. The fitter was professional and friendly, even whilst working on the hottest days of the year! The decorators even commented on how good a job he did. Felt I had to put a little unnecessary effort into the measuring and design elements, hence 4 not 5. But still happy overall with the service and would recommend.

Exceptional carpentry from Bespoke Carpentry. I am absolutely delighted with my fitted cupboards. The carpentry and painting service was first-rate, and I would very highly recommend.

Bespoke Carpentry London did a great job planning, designing and making built in wardrobes and a platform bed for us. From the planning, site visit to measure up, and arranging timings, communication was always excellent so that we were able to utilise as much as possible of the small spaces we have . David Goebel’s carpentry was first class. He worked efficiently, carefully and tidily we were really pleased with the finish. The painting team, Mykola and Illeya did a fantastic sanding and painting, again providing a high quality finish. Thanks to the team at Bespoke Carpentry London.

Excellent experience with Bespoke Carpentry London. The project was a set of fitted storage units, including an enclosed entertainment area for the television. BCL were attentive, thorough, and efficient. All their craftsmen were experienced, courteous, and delivered a high-quality result. Very satisfied and would definitely recommend and use them again.

We used bespoke carpentry London for our two bedroom built in wardrobes. They’ve done an outstanding job from communication, requirements gathering, measurements, design, and carpentry work. Everything was smooth and professional; we had a small tricky angle where the radiator box was blocking part of the wardrobe door, but the team was able to overcome that while keeping the wardrobe space with almost non existent fuss. Prices were reasonable too. London needs more carpentry service like this!
