I really do recommend Able. We used them twice for individual windows in a previous house and this week to replace an entire house of old PVC windows with period sash. The quote was competitive and the work has exceeded our expectations. Karl understands how to treat customers and he is very responsive. His on site team are skilled, professional and polite.

Able Joinery recently replaced a wooden double glazed window in a bedroom for me. It was a difficult opening but they did a fantastic job. It was a pleasure to deal with them all the way along - a good family firm with excellent fitters - and I am very happy to recommend them. I wouldn't consider anyone else now.

We have just had a custom made boiler cabinet fitted in our bathroom to cover the central heating boiler, piping and electrics and would highly recommend Able Joinery Ltd. Thanks to Karl and Gary for a superb job expertly carried out.
