Carpenter Needed. alcove shelves and cupboards

Recommended Posts

We've been sensationally let down by a carpenter I found on a Check A Trade. He was angry and abusive.

As such, we are looking for someone else to take on the job which is already spec'd. Is there anyone reliable and not costing a fortune out there?


It's for alcove open shelving plus shaker cupboards at both sides of our fireplace. Measurements and 3D plans were already made so we won't mess anyone around! We'd also like mdf fitted wardrobes in the upstairs alcove.

I would thoroughly recommend Alex Fereira, of Crown Joinery - goes under the name of Mr Alex - Portuguese, with good English; thoroughly professional, a master craftsman who prides himself on his skill. Doors, built-in furniture his speciality. He managed an excellent job for us, and I shall use him again to spec and construct built-in bedroom cupboards and shelves. Reasonable pricing.

Did you find someone yet? lots of recommendations I know, but I have just had Philip Quinn to do some beautiful TV unit and shelves in an alcove and they look amazing. 07701097779 if you wanted to contact him. Lives locally and very trustworthy.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
