"Another fantastic job, built in wardrobes in a converted attic - not the easiest of rooms to work in due to the angle of the roof. As usual the finished job looks like it was part of the original build, would thoroughly recommend Heath Carpentry"

David, 11th July 2022

"Gary and his son were excellent in all aspects of their work. We would definitely recommend them to our friends!" 

Jane Vaughan, 24th May 2022

"I can’t speak highly enough about Gary & Jay, they have made a great job of our replacement stairs. They we’re very thorough and respectful of our home. I will be using them again in the near future." 

Duncan Bush, 6th May 2022

"Heath Carpentry helped us build our new home. They did all kinds of work including structural walls and a porch, cladding the whole exterior of the house in timber, building a bespoke staircase, hanging (ridiculously large and heavy) doors, laying a large wooden floor, window boards, building bespoke cabinetry, wardrobes and shelving, decking, skirting and architraves... basically anything we could throw at them! We couldn't fault Gary and Jay. Work was completed to a very high standard, with great input to solve problems and consistent hard work through the whole of the project. They were friendly and helpful throughout the 20 weeks they worked with us - true modern tradesmen. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Heath Carpentry and would certainly ask them to complete any future projects for us." 

June Guthrie, 2nd September 2021

"Craftsmen like Gary are rare these days. He is a truly exceptional carpenter. He and his team are extremely professional, reliable, friendly and trustworthy. I had my stairs refurbished with oak and glass and I am totally delighted with the work. The quality of materials was superb and his attention to detail was perfection. His quality of work was exemplary and I would recommend Heath Carpentry to anyone so much so I have booked for work later in the year. ." 

Rob Lovell, 13th July 2021

"Couldn't be happier. Removed and replaced ten internal doors. Punctual, Polite, Professional. I would happily recommend Heath Carpentry for any appropriate job" 

Clive Wellings, 28th June 2021

"I was so pleased with the quality of the oak bannisters and the workmanship that I had matching doors under the stairs. Quite expensive but you get what you pay for an it doesn’t get any better than this. I have also had a built in wardrobe fitted by this tradesman and his son."

Nigel Hough, 25th June 2021

"Heath Carpenters did an excellent job with our oak banister and our under-stairs storage cupboard, can’t recommend them enough. The work to the banister was completed in around 3 days, and the under-stairs cupboard took best part of a week. Gary kept us informed of what he would be doing upon arrival each morning and would check in with us with any queries he had with our design. With working from home in a pandemic we left him to it and trusted his eye for detail. We handed him a rough sketch of the under-stairs cupboard and some photos we had and were able to discuss ideas through and lean on his carpentry knowledge. The recessed handles turned out great. Gary was happy enough to talk through other ideas we had whilst working with us, it’s just a matter of getting him booked in to get him back. Friendly, reliable, cleaned up as they went along and kept the stairs safe whilst working on the banister." 

Brian Marshall, 11th May 2021

"The guys were extremely punctual and ready to start from the get go. I'm actually not sure I've ever had contractors doing work in our house that have refused the offer of tea and coffee. Meticulous in their work, always on the go and no shirking. Cleaned up brilliantly before they left on the first day, I didn't even need to throw the hoover over. Day two, exactly the same as the first. Early and ready to go. Again, cleaned up before they left and left the whole downstairs clean and tidy. The only way you'd have known they had ever been there was the fantastic new doors they had installed. No problems at all in giving these guys a 5 star rating on all aspects. Top professionals, polite and courteous and they get the job done. Well worth every penny and I honestly can't rate them high enough. Thanks guys" 

Derek Ansbro, 11th May 2021

"We have no trouble in recommending Heath Carpentry at all. We decided to replace all our internal doors, which meant some were not standard sizes. However, Gary was able to source doors suitable for the appearance we wanted and within in our budget. Despite the unavoidable delays due to the Covid pandemic, Gary kept us informed and started work as soon as it was possible. Always prompt, and cleaned up at the end of the day, and happy to be left to get on with the job. Brilliant work, and we couldn't be more pleased with the finished result. Also, Gary was able to source the hardware for our doors, which we were glad we chose as it finishes the doors of brilliantly. Professional, efficient and highly recommend." 

Paul Rossiter, 23rd April 2021

"This the second time that Heath Carpentry have carried out work for us. As before, the standard of workmanship by Gary and his son is superb. Part of the job was to supply and install oak French doors and side lights between our dining room and living room. The problem was that the size of the existing opening is non-standard, which did not permit the use of a readymade solution. Gary designed and built the side lights separately, enabling a standard set of doors to be fitted. The bespoke side lights and the doors match perfectly. As before Gary and his son were considerate and cleared up every day. We will not hesitate to ask them to carry out work for us again or to recommend their services."

Colin Moore, 12th April 2021

"We employed Gary to install Wainscoting in our hall, stairs and landing. He understood exactly what we wanted and offered suggestions on aspects of the design. He also produced a mock up for us to look at. He responded quickly to us when we requested a late addition to the overall design. Level of workmanship was outstanding and we would not hesitate to recommend Gary and his son to other customers. Many thanks." 

Paul Rossiter, 2nd March 2021

"The transformation of our staircase and installation of a new side gate by Gary and Jay are both superb pieces of work. A very professional team, excellent craftsmen, always on time, helpful and considerate, with the work area left clean and tidy every evening and at the end of the job. I have no hesitation in recommending their services." 

Matthew Joy, 19th February 2021

"From the initial contact to job completion Gary was a pleasure to work with. He knows his stuff, and is a perfectionist. All aspects for stair renovation and understairs storage were installed to the highest standard. His experience on working with these types of projects helped to give guidance for any on the day decisions that needed to be made. Would highly recommend to others, so much so he is planned in for future works with us already." 

Richard Cannon, 1st February 2021

"Gary is a excellent tradesman, who works to a very high standard, we were extremely pleased with the finished job he made of refurbishing our staircase, replacing a dated look with a modern oak construction, it has transformed our hall and landing, and we would certainly recommend his services. Richard Cannon"

Amanda Williams, 29th January 2021

Richard Jones, 17th December 2020

"Thank you to Gary and team for a very professional job when we had our exterior kitchen door renewed. We are very pleased with the quality of product and workmanship and we appreciated rapid, clear communication from our initial enquiry onwards. The two-man team doing the job were courteous, the work was done without unnecessary noise (important with people working at home!) and the site was left really clean and tidy. We would be happy to recommend Heath Carpentry and to use them for another job!" 

Viv Ryan, 8th December 2020

"Gary fitted new doors and laid laminate flooring complete with skirting. The work was completed to an amazingly high standard and he even managed to get an emergency gas man out to cap off the gas pipe he found when taking up the old flooring. Very reasonably priced and friendly. I would definitely recommend them and use them again. Thank you."

Andrew Delaney, 27th November 2020

"Excellent service- very pleased with the fitted doors."

Amanda Dicks, 19th November 2020

"The whole process from start to finish was very professional. We were kept informed throughout, and were able to maintain the appropriate social distancing during this second lockdown. Quality and workmanship could not be faulted - would certainly recommend to others. Thankyou Steve!" 

John Venables, 15th September 2020

"Gary was always on time started work straight away and only stopped for half hour lunch His workmanship is second to none I highly recommend him"

Alan Muggleton, 14th September 2020

"All I can say is - Superb from start to finish, we would fully recommend Gary - punctual, professional, polite, cleaned up fully everyday. Flexible and knowledgeable when we needed to amend initial plan. Picture doesn’t do the end product justice tbh. Thanks Gary and Jay" 

Jill Blacker, 11th September 2020

"Gary refurbished my staircase in oak and glass. He did a lovely job and I'm really pleased with the result. Nothing was too much trouble and it was clear throughout that it was important to Gary that I was happy with the end result. He and Jay were great and left the site clean and tidy every day. A very professional company and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. In fact I was so pleased that I have already had them back to do some further (separate) carpentry work for me."

Alison Payne, 26th November 2019

"Excellent job. Would certainly use him again." 

Danny Kellett, 16th November 2019

"Gary and his team we called in to repair a job that another carpenter did badly. The door and frame needed work and fixing. He then hung a TV on a wall for my daughter. And finally investigated the possibility of building a cupboard. Very friendly and honest and will use again" 

Danielle Cooper, 6th November 2019

"We absolutely love our front door. You can tell he takes pride in his work and is a perfectionist as our door is perfect in every way. Gary was so prompt at replying to all my queries and was so helpful." 

Cathy White, 21st October 2019

"We had Gary Heath to do a complete new kitchen for us. We asked him to knock down three walls, one of which was a load bearing wall and needed an RSJ. We also wanted him to block up two existing doors, and make a new entrance to the garage. He and his team took a window out and blocked it up, replastered, did all electrics, plumbing, tiling and repainting. The finished job was perfect, everything we wanted. Gary listened to what we wanted and gave us plenty of good advice. Nothing was too much trouble for him, we particularly liked his attention to detail and the finishing off, nothing was left undone. He was punctual and each day the house was left clean and tidy. We would not use anybody else now to do any work we need"

Chris Hardaker, 18th October 2019

"Gary visited the house a couple of times beforehand to discuss what we required and recommend various options. He provided numerous quotes and advice as we explored the different options before deciding on what we needed. Gary was very punctual and left the house in a clean and tidy condition at the end of every working day. We are very impressed with the quality of the work Gary did for us - a complete oak staircase replacement and fitting of internal oak doors throughout. We found him both friendly and trustworthy - we left a house key with him so that he could come and go without relying on us being around. We would definitely recommend him." 

Ann George, 6th September 2019

Robert Zeepvat, 5th October 2016

Edwina Starkie, 4th October 2016

"This is now the 5th time that Gary Heath has completed major carpentry work for our family, and his standards never drop. The quality of the work is excellent, with great attention to detail in every aspect, from listening to our initial requirements, ensuring they were met and checking that we were satisfied every step of the way. We would not hesitate in recommending Heath Carpentry to others."

Maureen Moulson, 17th June 2016

Margaret Kesten, 17th March 2016

"I was very happy with the results of Gary's work. I asked him to replace some wardrobe doors with some new white doors, inset with stained glass squares, to create a "Mackintosh" style wardrobe. He managed to do this brilliantly. The wardrobe was transformed and I was very impressed by his standard of craftsmanship. He was extremely neat and tidy and kept to timetable. Prior to making the new wardrobe doors he also repaired some creaking floorboards and repaired the garden shed. Gary is a very skilled carpenter."

Mark Smith, 1st March 2016

"Good attention to detail"

Derek Smith, 2nd February 2016 "Your attention to detail during the quotation stage was exceptional and your suggestions were both warmly welcomed and spot on. Message to any future clients reading this review and listen to Gary, he know what he is talking about. A start date was agreed and you arrived at the time promised. The first thing you did was to lay protective coatings over all the carpets and dust sheets to protect anything that needed protection and this continued throughout the time you were with us. At the end of each day you tidied up and hoovered to ensure that our home was not left like a building site. I still have the memory of you hoovering the drive! What can we say about the finished product? The doors is fantastic! The attention to detail is su-perb. All the joints are exact and the lines are straight. I am a bit of a fussy old thing and I like things to be done to a high standard. You have excelled. Thank you for being such a brilliant, professional and caring person".

Lillian Kiely, January 2016:

Gary has done work for me within my home over the last 6 months. When I request quotes from Gary he is very detailed and will make recommendations if he can see a potential issue or a better way a job can be done. His quotes are clearly detailed and all are done via email. Gary is very punctual, a job will take the time he says its going to, his work is clean and of a very high standard, he is a true professional. I would have no hesitation in contacting Gary in the future to quote / do work for me again.

Stuart Pritchard, November 2015:

Good all round job. Pleasant and tidy

Edward Taylor, October 2015:

Excellent work, very professional, highly recommended

Dawn Wallace, March 2015:

The replacement staircase & doors that Gary fitted have exceeded my expectations. His work is of excellent quality and would have no hesitation in recommending him

David Dunford, February 2015:

We would recommend Heath Carpentry every time as if you are looking for a top class tradesman you cannot go wrong by using them. Having completed work for us a couple of years ago we had no hesitation in contacting them again when we required further work. The latest work was completed on time to an excellent standard which we would be more than happy to show to anybody. In our opinion no carpentry job, large or small, would be beyond their capability.

The work carried out on our staircase by Gary was excellent. He was punctual, reliable and nothing was too much trouble. He has real pride in his work, which shows on the finished product. We are already lining up our next project for Gary.

Amazing work, high quality job. Worth every penny for an excellent standard of work and finish. Thank you very much

Lee Mansfield, January 2014:

I wanted some changes to a built-in wardrobe but the usual bedroom companies would not even consider it. Gary understood what I wanted & helped to design an improved solution. He clearly communicated all aspects of the work, helping to set my expectations & I was not disappointed. He is polite, helpful, trustworthy, and was considerate to my home. He puts in a full day of work, is on time, and met the overall agreed schedule. The standard of the finished job is excellent. I would not hesitate to use him again and to recommend him to others.

M Loaning, December 2013:
