Alec Woodland Joinery

Alec built us a bay window seat. He provided a competitive quote and does a great job. Truly professional yet friendly service. Completed the job on time with minimal disruption or mess. Will definitely be in touch for future jobs and would recommend to friends. Thank you Alec, we have been enjoying the window seat immensely :-) More...

Alec designed and built a whole-wall of mixed shelving and cupboards for us, along with a desk and utilities cupboard for our study. He took our very amateur sketch, and transformed it into a detailed CAD design for us to talk over; we had some odd requirements (space to include an existing cabinet, a large printer to accommodate, and some concealed cabling). All of our requirements were carefully included in the detailed CAD design. What has been really brilliant however has been the translation of that design into the finished product; we wanted the 'edge of ply' effect and the way he arranged the construction and mixed all of the different elements is brilliant. We are really happy with the finished product which is beautifully built, and robust. Alec even went to the length of selecting plywood with attractive grain for all the doors, and then cutting it such that grain in adjacent doors lined up - amazing eye for detail!Alec was totally reliable, always on time, and left the room immaculate after a big piece of work. Thanks so much! More...

I would thoroughly recommend Alec if you’re looking for an excellent local carpenter. Alec undertook several jobs for me in 2017 including: building and installing two window casements, constructing a large fitted storage unit (which totally transformed the room); fitting some skirting and boxing in some pipe work. All of the work was exceptional, and of a very high standard. Alec is clearly a talented craftsman.Alec is very friendly and easy to work with. He responded to my initial query really quickly and came round to chat about the jobs I wanted done. He provided some designs outlines which we talked through and I really appreciated his input. Alec’s quote didn’t change throughout the works, and he even gave me some offcuts of wood for free (to use as shelves). Alec always kept his appointments and was very tidy - not easy when you’re working with wood! The after service care was also excellent. Overall, I would gve Alec 10/10. It’s not easy finding high calibre, trustworthy and talented people but Alec is definitely one of them. I recommended Alec to a friend who also thought he did an amazing job, and I would employ him again without hesitation. More...

I engaged Alec to make and fit bi-fold doors, to hang new internal doors and fix door furniture, and various other joinery jobs including skirting and architraves, as well as two beautifully made oak floating shelves in the kitchen. Alec was thorough and precise, reliable and tidy, and his work was completed to an excellent standard. More...

Alec did some very fine work for me replacing a wooden ceiling (in a listed building) and creating a bespoke plywood desk and wall panels.
The work was completed to a high standard on schedule and in budget.
Highly recommended. More...

It's rare to find a really talented tradesman who cares, but Alec is one of those. He did a stunning job on my front door.

Alec has completed several jobs for us over the past few months. The biggest, the design and fitting of bespoke under stair storage, was done to a very high standard - we couldn't be happier with the look and functionality of the end result.

He has also completed a few smaller jobs for us that have been tricky because it's an old property with uneven walls and floors. Again, the work has been to an excellent standard.

Alec is great to work with as he is both open to ideas and happy to offer his own advice. His costing is good value and his timekeeping, cleanliness and personability are all superb. We will look to bring him back for future projects and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone. More...

Alec built a simple but lovely pine wood mantlepiece. A very courteous and precise carpenter! Definitely will get him to do more carpentry in the future.

Al was helpful every step of the way and did a beautiful job fitting two oak mantels over fireplaces, and a shelf in our kitchen. All were free of visible brackets. We were unsure exactly what we wanted but Al helped us with this and simplified it by ordering the wood and doing extensive prep before coming and fitting them. When finished he cleaned up after him leaving the end product looking fantastic. I would highly recommend Al, he has an excellent eye for accuracy and good problem solving skills. Thanks Al!

A really lovely and polite guy - who turns up when he says he will, finishes the job on schedule and budget, leaves room tidier than when he arrived. And all this in addition to being very skilled at carpentry. Our built in shelves and cupboard in alcove are fantastic and just what we wanted. Only problem is we don't want to put anything on them as they are so nice as they are!
Would definitely recommend Alec to others :) More...

Alec built two bespoke wardrobes in our bedroom which are wonderful. He designed them to our needs, discussed variations options with us, and completed the project on time and to an excellent standard. He was extremely clean and tidy when he was working, and he is a very friendly and polite guy.

I would definitely recommend Alec for any joinery or carpentry jobs you may have. More...
