Our clients’ testimonials

A selection of just some of the feedback which we’ve received from our many delighted clients.

I visited Chalkhill Cottage at the end of June 2010 to inspect the progress of works. I am extremely pleased to advise that my clients, together with myself, are delighted with the Green Oak Frame and wish to extend our thanks to Carpenter Oak and Woodland. I understand that the frame erection caused much interest in the village and indeed whilst I was there people were stopping and viewing the works from the road and also a neighbour’s driveway! The extra mile that Carpenter Oak and Woodland went, particularly with the client’s children, taking time to explain about oak, giving them hands-on opportunities, allowing their involvement in the construction, then finally issuing them with “apprentice certificates” was very much appreciated. Please pass on this note of thanks to all involved on the project and I personally look forward to working with Carpenter Oak and Woodland on many projects in the future.

– Nigel Henham, Director of DPDS Architecture Ltd

Please pass on our thanks to everyone who contributed to the work, especially Paul for negotiating us on board, Piers for his design work, Bo for managing the frame erection and Rachel for managing the project. We are aware that behind the people we speak to there are others who cut timber, drill joints and raise rafters, among other essential things, so our thanks to everyone involved. The oak frame is everything we expected.

– Peter and Val, Bucks

The truss and gable end purlins and ridge beam are now up. Everything fitted perfectly. I was particularly pleased with the design and crafting of the joints such that any subsequent movement would not result in an unsightly crack appearing. Please convey my thanks to your team.

– Douglas Murray (Retired Architect), Loch Fyne, Scotland

Esther and I would like to pass on our thanks for all the hard work, commitment and effort that you put into your project. Out of all the builders and various trades that we have had to deal with your company has been the best on every front.

– Robert and Esther Shipp, Chippenham, Wiltshire

Many thanks for sending Phil Jones up to Derbyshire to remove the black mildew from our oak frame. He has done an excellent job under very difficult physical circumstances. We now have a fantastic frame that will become part of our lives for many years to come. I would just like to say again that the whole team who came to erect the frame made it a week that Louise and I will never forget.

– Richard and Louise Parsons, Derbyshire

Could you please pass on my thanks to those involved in the project at Pound Cottage. From our first meeting to completion of the frame we have received extremely professional service from everyone at Carpenter Oak & Woodland. The frame was delivered ahead of time to a high standard of workmanship. The team of craftsman were excellent, nothing was too much trouble and they happily took time to explain anything we queried. From a project management perspective I was delighted to see the site was left clean and tidy and their standard of health and safety was high.

– Andy Turner, Director, Princton Homes

It has been one of the pleasures of this scheme to have Carpenter Oak & Woodland on the project. They have responded to all requests made of them, both during the design and build on the original building in a professional, positive and cheerful manner, meeting and in many instances, bettering, programme dates. After the loss of the building by fire, their response was immediate, positive and, under the circumstances, remarkable, achieving substantial elements of redesign, and delivering the new frame to site ahead of programme, in spite of major commitments elsewhere. I can unreservedly recommend this company, and will have no hesitation in placing further business with them in the future.

– SM Strutt, Strutt & Co, Bath

I was very pleased with the high standard of carpentry, it all went together very nicely. As I am sure you are aware, it makes a lot of difference on site when things like that are accurately marked and cut.

– M Mitchell , Box, Wiltshire

Thank you for completing the repair to our A-frame at such short notice. We really appreciated your company’s holistic approach to our predicament. John, Justin, Odie and all were a credit to your Company, not just in terms of their building abilities, but also they were just so nice to have around.

– B Castelein, Stroud

We’ve dreamed and schemed for over two years and the frame you built and erected surpassed those dreams. It has been a pleasure to deal with you and we have been unhesitatingly recommending you to the people who have stopped to ask about this impressive oak frame.

– Ron & Maggie Wilson, Suffolk
