Central London Carpentry

Central London Carpentry is a carpentry and joinery firm that has been operational for over 15 years. Based in Chiswick, West London, it services all of London and the surrounding areas. Its primary expertise is designing and building made-to-measure bespoke fitted furniture, including custom kitchens, media units, cabinets, bookcases and wardrobes. The company works with qualified plumbers and electricians to offer a full renovation service.

It undertakes setbuilding for TV and photo shoots, shop and office fit outs for commercial clients, and full house renovation including project management and build. The company is a small team. It performs as much work and cutting as possible off-site in a workshop, assembling and painting most pieces on site. It uses dust extractors and covers and protects all floors and furniture during work. Materials used include real wood, veneers, decorative ply, pre-finished boards and hand-painted MDF.

Bespoke fitted furniture and carpentry work form the basis of the projects described by customers of Central London Carpentry. Toby, the craftsman named throughout the feedback, is credited with handling schemes from initial brief and sketch through to completion, with built-in wardrobes appearing most frequently among the work undertaken, alongside media units, bookcases, desks and a redesigned private library. Several buyers describe repeat commissions, having first engaged the firm for one installation and subsequently returning for further rooms or properties.

A detail many reviews return to is the value placed on input during the design stage, with reviewers noting that helpful advice and detailed planning meant projects ran smoothly once work began. Several accounts note reliability and professionalism, together with a considerate approach that keeps disruption to a minimum. Tidiness also features, one account noting that a house was left as clean at the end of each day as it had been at the start. Kitchen fitting and garden structures such as awnings and pergolas are among the other jobs referenced, and the standard of finish across wardrobes, bookcases and cabinetry is described consistently as meticulous.
