We have had a few different jobs done by Rhydian now over the last year, and can’t fault his workmanship. Custom made under the stairs panelling, fitting and plaining new doors, dado rail work, all to very good standard. Rhydian took time to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted and is really thorough in his approach. Clear to see that he takes pride in his trade , he is a tidy worker and his prices are very competitive, overall very happy and would highly recommend to anyone in need of a carpenter in Cardiff. P.S He’s partial to a biscuit too so make sure you stock your tin ready! More...

Rhydian came to look at the job I needed doing but explained how busy he was and that he wouldn’t be able to do the job for a few months. However, he had a free day and contacted me immediately and finished it in a day. More...

Rhydian answered my enquiry quickly and arranged to take a look at the job the next day. He was able to tell what was needed straight away and booked the job in as soon as possible (48hrs later! ) as he could see it was quite urgent. He talked me through the possible options and made sure I understand the work he was carrying out. I'm very grateful for his services doing a job that would have taken me days and probably a lot of tears and injury! No complaints, thank you so much! More...

Rhydian installed loft boards at my house in Canton. He did a tidy job, turning the loft into a useful space for storage. Rhydian was polite, punctual and completed the work for the price quoted, all without fuss.

If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, hardworking and skilled carpenter, then you’ve found him!! I found Rhydian myself via recommendation and after reading some of his reviews I thought I’d enquire about our multilevelled, complicated decking project. > Rhydian installed Lunawood composite decking for us (great stuff!), including hidden fixings and endcaps. > It was a tricky job including (lots of) steps and a door. > He replaced railings and found matching elements to match our ironwork. Rhydian worked long hours, including some weekends, through rain and wind to get the job done - with a continued positive attitude. He was always neat and tidy and went out of his way to do an excellent job. From the moment I contacted him for advice to the day he finished he was professional, polite and considerate. I’m almost running out of positive adjectives here… but want to get across how thrilled we were with Rhydian’s work! We would be more than happy to encourage others to employ him (and his awesome assistant Charlie!). More...

Rhydian did a cracking job building a shelving unit and matching alcove shelves. He priced really honestly, and was patient with my changes of mind (! ) and very friendly. Highly recommended. More...

We are so pleased that we followed recommendations to use Rhydian. Businesslike, proficient and friendly. Turns up when he says and gives constructive advice. Our’s was replacing the timbers and polycarbonate roof and installing an engineered oak stable door. We are very pleased with the result. A difficult job due to the nature of the existing construction and weather. More...

Would recommend. Built alcove media unit. Turned up when he said (dealt with plenty who don't) & tidy. Was clear about checking exactly what I wanted. Very happy with finished product.

I contacted Rhydian as we had a downstairs toilet plumbed in which was not flush to the wall- about 40 cm away from the wall, and at an uneven angle! We needed some form of storage solution that would fit around this, but didn’t really have any idea as to what would work. Rhydian came out and reccomend a great fix; it makes the room usable and look much better! He also made some boxing around the house, which is perfectly fitted and solidly built- to a far higher quality than I was expecting could be possible. He was very courteous, tidy, prompt, and easy to contact. I would highly recommend his services and would 100% use him again in future! More...

Rhydian built a wooden bin store for me and did a great job, really quick, clean and tidy. I'm really pleased with the end result, makes my garden look much neater, and I'll definitely be asking him back to do some more carpentry work. Highly recommended!

We contacted Rhydian regarding decking. Rhydian gave excellent advice and guidance as to what we could do and we felt very confident into securing his services.
The end result exceeded our expectations. In addition to the high standard of finished work, Rhydian impresses with his work ethic putting in long hours in terrible weather to take care with the small and fine details ensuring exact precision.
We'll happily and confidently recommend Rhydian to anyone for carpentry work.

Wow!
To say Rhydian is an expert in his field may actually be an understatement.
Rhydian listened to exactly what we wanted and completed the job in the time frame estimated.
He was able to find a solution to fitting a loft ladder for us which previous carpenters were unable to do. His workmanship is second to none.
Rhydian is also down to earth with a great sense of humour which makes you feel relaxed about a stranger coming into your home. We would recommend Canton Carpentry without a second thought!

I can not recommend Rhydian highly enough. I asked him to make some shelves for the alcoves in our living room, and also a fitted storage box that doubles up as a shelf/table.
I had some screenshots on my phone that I showed Rhydian, and he worked from those! We are delighted with the results, and have received lots of compliments about our shelving, so will definitely ask Rhydian to do more work for us in the future - I have a growing list of jobs for him!
What we really appreciate is the time and effort that Rhydian puts into his work. He is punctual, let’s us know if he is running late, and is incredibly tidy - always hoovers after he has completed a job. I think his quotes are very reasonable and I know he is very reliable. He is also partial to chocolate biscuit!

Rhydian has done an excellent job of the decking in my garden. He worked extremely hard and never made any complaints. He is professional, thorough and very personable. He made sure that everything was right with the job, from the beginning to the end and I am very pleased with his effort. I would definitely use him again and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants any sort of woodwork carried out. More...

How long have you been in business?
I've been in business ever since I finished my career in the military. My ambition was always to work for myself using my organisational skills and high personal and professional standards to build a small business as a carpenter. For larger projects I also offer a project management service bringing together skilled and proven trades and expertise in a coordinated, efficient fashion. Many clients recognise that having one point of contact and one person with responsibility for the work is a big help.
What guarantee does your work come with?
The guarantee I give on work varies but is always based on the fact that it will be completed properly and to a high standard. Correct materials are used. The guarantee can vary because for example, external softwood decking in a wet area will probably begin to degrade after 30 years but a good quality door, hung correctly, should outlive us all!
What do you love most about your job?
Meeting different people and getting to know them better over the years as they turn into repeat customers. The challenge of maintaining high standards and building a business based on hard work and a reputation for quality.
What inspired you to start your own business?

Why should our clients choose you?
If the job doesn't need doing, or if there is a more sensible / cheaper way of doing it, I will tell you. If also have a book of reliable contacts of other trades who I can call in to sort non carpentry work out.
