"Really great product and experience from start to finish. Custom bookshelves designed and built for a really awkward space. They look great and we are really pleased with them."

"I have used Victor to build a bedroom wardrobe the full width of the room after seeing recommendations on Nextdoor. He is a very professional and pleasant man. He listened carefully to what I wanted and his planning was meticulous, nothing was too much trouble. His work is excellent down to the smallest detail. He is very clean and tidy. I am very pleased with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."

"Victor made a bespoke dining room storage unit for me a few months ago.. I contacted him having seen reviews from this app, and I’m so glad I did. Victor is such a nice person, very professional and easy to talk to. He listened to my design for idea, threw in a few things I hadn’t thought about and came up with something perfect! The 3d designs he provided were brilliant and really helped me envisage what the finished article would look like. I cannot recommend Victor enough. I will definitely be using him again ."

"Victor designed and built a lovely run of wardrobes, with internal adjustable shelves and hanging, and external shelves for my 3 year old daughter’s new bedroom. The old wardrobes and cupboard were very dated and not in good condition, Victor removed them carefully with minimal damage to the surrounding area which had been decorated. He is a really nice guy who pays a lot of attention to the details both during the design and installation. He supplied several versions of the design as it developed using a 3d graphics package so we could see exactly how it would look. Everything has backs and floors which meant we didn’t have to worry about the state of our walls and floors. The paint finish is lovely and very durable. Victor is highly skilled and a perfectionist as can be seen by the finish on all his work. One alcove where we wanted some shelves had a sloping top but no problem he still managed to fit shelves with a back including a sloping top! The quality is so good for the reasonable price he charges, much better than the larger companies of which we have some experience.
We highly recommend Victor and would definitely use him again."

"As per other recommendations, I am extremely pleased with the fitted wardrobe that Victor built. Very professional, kept me informed at every stage, delivered in time, meticulous attention to detail. You hear of recommendations on Nextdoor that don’t always deliver, not so in this case! Very happy to recommend Victor and this company!"

Victor designed and built bespoke wardrobes for our newly converted loft bedroom and all I can say is that they are spectacular. We had in mind what we wanted and from consultation to end product his attention to detail, efficiency and communication throughout the process was second to none. We absolutely love our new wardrobes and cannot recommend Straight Cut Carpentry enough! Thank you!

"From start to finish Victor was professional, polite and provided a great service.
He returned a quote to us quickly and kept us well informed of the process and his progress throughout.
The actual work was completed to a really high standard with amazing attention to detail. He talked us through what he was doing and made sure we were happy with things. The actual cabinets he completed look great and we’re happy with the work. I would highly recommend Victor."

"Victor designed, made and installed a bespoke solution to our kitchen door. We had a very awkward area that needed an attractive, yet functional dog gate. Victor listened to our needs, and came up with a great design that is perfect for keeping our dogs contained in one area but allowing people to pass easily to and from the kitchen. He included a rising hinge so the door closes smoothly and quietly and the whole gate can be easily removed when not needed by just lifting off the hinges. Great work, of a high standard, from a reliable local craftsman."

"From the very beginning when Victor came to take measurements, I knew already he was the man for the job - you need to see him in action.
I’ve had 5 people come down for this same project including Sharps but am glad Victor ended up being the one to deliver a masterpiece.
It’s all about quality, thoroughness and attention to the very last details. I highly recommend Victor to anyone looking to do a media wall.
Don’t settle for “cheap” but quality because this becomes a centrepiece in your living room and you’d have to look at it everyday. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"

"Victor did an amazing job and we would highly recommend him. He built a bespoke under stair storage unit (giving us practically double the amount of storage space), an alcove cupboard and a bespoke kitchen cabinet. His attention to detail is very impressive and he is very keen to ensure that everything meets the customer’s needs. We will certainly use him again for any bespoke jobs."

"We would highly recommend Victor. He did a great job building a bespoke under stairs storage unit, a kitchen cabinet and alcove cabinet. We were impressed by his work and his attention to detail. The 3D images he sends at the start are really helpful too. We are really happy with his work and would definitely use him for any other bespoke jobs."

"Victor has just completed a very nice bathroom cupboard in what used to be a shower. He was very thorough in talking us through various design options and I appreciated his consultative approach and the realistic 3d designs ! He was very professional and I believe quite competitive (although I don't have much to compare with). He also did a couple of extra jobs that look good! Will definitely hire him again if we need some carpentry job."

"Thank you Victor for building a cupboard for me to conceal fridge freezer and meter cupboard on my landing - so very pleased with the final outcome. Victor was very professional and reliable and kept me informed at all times, he also had to work within a tight space, but persevered and the end result was exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend Victor and will definitely be using him again."

"We recently moved to Coney Hall and we were looking for a carpenter for a bespoke window seat for our bay window. We got a few quotes from next door and also online. A few people came round but Victor from Straight Cut Handyman & Carpentry stood out for his friendly manner, professional approach and experience. He listened to our brief and provided a 3D drawing and quote. His quote was very competitive and value for money. Victor spent time talking to us about what we wanted, confirming the details and sourcing the right materials. The window seat took Victor two days and looks amazing. We want to thank Victor for his hard work,professionalism and outstanding workmanship on our bay window seat! The bay window looks incredible and I am so happy. It is exactly what I imaged and it exceeds my expectations. He nailed the brief and we have already started using it. Our daughter is climbing it, sitting on it and she loves it too :) The extra storage for her toys is just what we needed Thank you Victor for providing a competitive quote, developing the set of drawings that I could understand and checking with us every step of the way. The next step is the window seat upstairs in the New Year. I would 100% recommend Straight Cut Handyman & Carpentry you to anyone and everyone"

"Victor did an amazing job installing shelves and repainting our tired airing cupboard, transforming it into a great storage space. He was very professional, had great ideas and quoted us a fair price for the work. We are so happy with the finished result and would definitely recommend Victor to others. Thank you!"
