Report
Having Lion Carpentry in to build a timber deck and flight of steps in our garden has been a very happy experience. Communication has been excellent at every step since my first inquiry. They have been a pleasure to deal with: polite, punctual and tidy. There have been no issues over programme or cost and the quality of the workmanship has been superb. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Report
George had been recommended to me and had quoted to lay gravel and rumble block edging at the bottom of my garden. It had been overgrown for a while and needed clearing first. He kept in contact before starting the job to let me know he was on track to arrive on the dates arranged. The work was completed on schedule, to a fantastic standard and all left clean and tidy when they finished. I'd definitely get George back for any other work I'd need doing. Recommended.

George is very reliable and honest, and very helpful towards my budget, fitted a kitchen for me, finished within agreed timeframe and on budget, made sure the house was clean and tidy every day and took all waste at the end of the job. Would highly recommend him.
