Alex Burgess Carpentry

We have recently commissioned Alex to build a bespoke media wall with cupboards and shelving and another commission of a wood panelled frame and doors enclosure for the understairs area in our new barn conversion. Firstly, we must say that Alex is a pleasure to work with, he listens carefully to what is required and uses his creativity to come up with the perfect design to match the brief. His attention to the smallest detail is spot on. We could not be happer with the work Alex has completed for us and we would highly reccommend him, we would have no hesitation in calling uopn Alex's services again. Paula and Julian

This is the 2nd time we have used Alex to guild a TV media unit at our new house as well as our home office. We have been extremely pleased with his designs and finished work. He is highly skilled and has a keen eye for detail. I would highly recommend Alex.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alex on a variety of home improvement projects, and I cannot express how satisfied I am with his work. From building and installing a stunning media wall to creating a beautiful vanity unit and tackling several side jobs, Alex's professionalism and attention to detail truly set him apart. First and foremost, the media wall he designed and built exceeded all of my expectations. It not only added a touch of sophistication to my living room but also provided the perfect focal point for my entertainment system. The craftsmanship was exceptional, and it perfectly complemented the aesthetics of my home. The vanity unit he installed in my bathroom was another masterpiece. It was not just functional but also added an element of luxury to my space. His ability to combine style and practicality is truly commendable. What impressed me the most about Alex, aside from his exceptional skills, was his dedication to getting every detail right. He meticulously paid attention to the finer points of each project, ensuring that the end result was nothing short of perfection. His work was not rushed, and he took the time to make sure everything was flawless. In addition to his craftsmanship, Alex's professionalism shone throughout our engagement. He was punctual, reliable, and communicative. He kept me updated on the progress of the projects and was always ready to address any questions or concerns I had. Overall, I can't recommend Alex highly enough. If you're looking for a skilled professional who can transform your space with a keen eye for detail, Alex is the one to choose. His work has truly elevated my home, and I am delighted with the results. Thank you, Alex, for your outstanding work and for making my home more beautiful and functional. You are a true master of your craft, and I am grateful for the exceptional service you provided.

Alex and Rob built us a bar-bookcase (photo attached, although taken before the final touch up paint had been applied to some caulk and the mirror cleaned up) and it turned out exactly as I'd hoped. Even so, it still gave me that slack-jaw moment when I saw the finished article. It wasn't the easiest of jobs either, since the bar was built into an alcove and extended into a bookcase across the chimney breast, linked beautifully with an oak counter top. It also had to encompass a wine cooler that needs to be removable and due to the close proximity of an inconveniently placed radiator, Alex made the left-hand column easily detachable. He's a perfectionist and it pays off, having fully understood the requirements and delivered a top quality product.

Alex has fitted a beautiful home office area area into alcoves in our flat. In terms of workmanship, the quality of what we have is amazing, we have curves in the solid oak desks, an under desk drawer with pencil tray, curved cupboards and an elegant mix of white/oak veneer. It has transformed our room and provided us with much needed and stylish storage and desk space. Our space was always left tidy during the fitting period and Alex worked with minimal disruption to us. In terms of communication, from start to finish, he has communicated with us and kept us up to date with how the project is developing in the workshop and we were provided a timeline from the beginning. He was very professional, always getting back to us, fitting when he planned to do so and visiting our space to help us plan the office space in the early stages. The quote we were provided had a clear breakdown of costs and we paid what we were quoted. We would highly recommend Alex for any bespoke work you need, his attention to detail and patience in the design stages and final quality of work is all fabulous :)

Alex installed a birch ply shelving for books and display across the whole wall of my dining room. He prepared with great care which allowed me to incorporate my specific needs in the design. His workmanship is superb and he took great care in ensuring a stunning installation. I am very pleased with the outcome.

Alex and his assistant Finlay sanded and re-oiled our lounge floor. The job was done professionally and we were very pleased with the end result. Minimum dust transmission into the rest of the house. The guys arrived on time and worked hard to complete the job in a day and a half, with a Saturday afternoon visit to check the finished product and help replace bulky furniture.

Alex fitted a large oak front door for us recently to a very high standard. Hard to find people these days that capable of doing a good job. Kept us informed of times and completed the job quickly and on time. I will definitely use Alex again should I need him . Highly recommended. Thanks

We would definitely recommend Alex. He talked over various options for our living room shelving, which helped with our decisions. His work quality was excellent and he works hard and efficiently. If for any reason he was delayed, he always let us know in advance and kept us informed. He kept to his original budget, with the addition of a small charge for electrics, which we had agreed to during the course of the job. We are delighted with our new shelves!

Alex's work is exemplary and shows rare attention to detail. He designed, made and fitted a bookshelf in the sitting room which is really beautiful and exactly what I wanted. The finishing is superb. He and his team are also installing an engineered wooden floor in two stages throughout the ground floor. At every stage Alex has been efficient and helpful and kept me fully informed about offsite and onsite progress. I could not have been happier with Alex's work at every stage of the project and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. We have only recently moved to Kent and Alex has been a fantastic find for us.

Alex is a very personable young man whose carpentry skills appear first class. He undertook a small but urgent carpentry job for us, happily fitting it in at short notice. He and his mate worked efficiently and with minimum disruption. We are pleased with the job done and as a result are liaising with Alex in regard to some further carpentry jobs at our home.

It proved surprisingly tricky to find a carpenter locally for a number of carpentry jobs in our house and I resorted to Houzz to find somebody being able to produce the specific item I wanted to a high standard. Alex's communication (mostly by email, which I prefer) was quick and efficient. He visited the house and looked at the jobs in hand, made helpful suggestions based on his knowledge and experience and was able to offer a time slot promptly. When he worked in our home, he and his colleague were very polite, non intrusive and quiet. The estimate and the bill were clearly itemised and as agreed, all done very professionally. I am very happy with the build-in open wardrobe that Alex designed and built. It was exactly what I wanted, fits the awkward space perfectly and enhances the hallway. Alex also fitted additional shelves in a storage cupboard, extended the life of our old kitchen by replacing the plinths and did a few other smaller jobs, all of which are making our home more comfortable and better organised. I have already starting discussing a new project with Alex and look forward to working with him again. I am very happy to recommend him as a professional who takes great pride in his work and wants his customers to be satisfied.
