R P Cooke have worked on our house renovations for the last 18 months. Russ has beautifully crafted our windows, doors, and staircase, Russ even made beautiful furniture to cover our ugly underfloor heating manifolds. He is a true craftsman, a lovely person and very professional. We would recommend him very highly.

Russell made our windows 25 years ago and we are still as thrilled with them now as we were then. Each one had to be hand crafted because the sizes and shapes differed and the finish is excellent - they are lasting better than we are! Can't recommend Russell's work highly enough - good to see you again recently Russell. P&B G
