Louis and his team are brilliant! Theyve replaced all of the windows in our Victorian house with beautifully well made double glazed windows in keeping with the period - like for like. Before this theyve made bespoke cabinetry for our laundry and kitchen. They are always super professional and weve always been so impressed with their work. We will be using LBC now to make a set of bespoke double doors for an awkward spot. We cant recommend them highly enough.

Excellent service from Louis and his team. Made us a beautiful replacement window that met the requirements of the local Conservation Officer. We are looking to replace some more windows in the near future and will definitely be using LB Carpentry for the work.
