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.

    • You have to use the right extinguisher for the type of fire - water/foam not to be used for live electrical fires for example. A quick Google says powder extinguishers can be used on the most different types of fire. In a public/commercial setting fire extinguishers have to be serviced every year. Not sure the recommendation for residential ones, but when you buy extinguishers and fire blankets check if there's an expiry date.   
    • Thanks, yes I need the y piece for the water to go to IN both washing machine AND the dishwasher but the y piece doesn’t fit on the B yellow pipe…  I’m not worried about the waste pipe for now, I’m just concerned about the supply to get water in to both appliances 
    • Not sure about the word “input” - do you mean outflow / waste ? Red figure A looks like the sink overflow. If B is the washing machine outflow then that’s where you want your Y fitting. ( assuming all above conjecture is correct). I’d put a cap on that chrome threaded dead connection too. Don’t just rely on the valve. It all looks a bit of a mess TBH 🫣.
