Reviews of Crescent Carpentry & Building Ltd

Nigel has completed extensive work in our home since 2013, and we wouldn’t consider using anyone else. His craftsmanship is exceptional, his attention to detail meticulous, and we can always rely on a first-class result.

For this latest project, Nigel installed a bespoke desk in our upstairs office, carefully shaping it to span a half wall and continue along a full wall. The precise mitres and joins are seamless, and the finished desk is outstanding. We couldn’t be happier. 

Nigel is one of the nicest tradesman you could have the pleasure of working in your home. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Nigel was a pleasure to have on our premises. He is courteous and considerate, ensuring minimal disruption whilst we worked from home and cleaning up at the end of each day. He made recommendations and suggestions based on his experience. He also went above and beyond helping us to deal with an issue related to the skip and he has created a solution to help the flooring fitters who are coming in later to remove the kitchen base boards. 

Would not hesitate to recommend Nigel for any of your kitchen needs. From the start to finish Nigel has been nothing but kind, professional, helpful, knowledgeable. Supplied and fitted our beautiful new kitchen. Workmanship is excellent. He's also very good with animals too, my dog loved his daily Nigel visits. Thank you Nigel for a great job and a beautiful new kitchen.

After moving the door position, the kitchen was taken out cleanly and with minimal disturbance . The new kitchen was fitted professionally and with precision, even though we had a couple of challenges, communication was great and we always knew what was going on and if our requests were possible. Nothing was too much trouble. Fabulous job, we are happy customers. 

We were very impressed when dealing with Nigel from the first visit to the final install. Very impressed with build quality and attention to detail. We now have a very happy cat also.  

Since 2013, we have relied on Nigel for extensive renovations throughout our home, including the conversion of our garage into an office / utility room, the complete overhaul of our kitchen and dining area into a spacious open-plan layout which included an extension, the installation of three large built-in wardrobes upstairs, and the replacement of balustrades and internal doors.

We had a vision for a new built-in media wall and when we initially discussed this with Nigel, we felt an immediate sense of reassurance in his ability to realise our concept. He was instrumental and helpful with the ordering of the cupboards and panelling and he skillfully crafted stunning shelf units from moisture-resistant 22mm MDF.

Once the planning phase was finalised, the installation commenced with the cupboards and worktop, while the shelving units were created at his workshop and later professionally spray-painted by Safe Local Trades member 'Sprayed Finishes by Joseph Brierley', resulting in a stunning professional factory finish.

The project was completed yesterday, and we are absolutely delighted with the outcome. Nigel consistently goes above and beyond, nothing is ever too much trouble, and he has exceeded our expectations once again. He is undoubtedly one of the best carpenters in Peterborough, and we would never consider anyone else for our projects. His craftsmanship is precise, down to the last millimetre, and we would additionally rate him for a perfect 10/10 for customer satisfaction, friendliness, professionalism, communication, integrity and to top it all, he is a genuinely lovely person.

Thank you once again Nigel, you are truly amazing…

We chose Nigel to fit our new kitchen as he had recently done work for a neighbour. From the first visit he advised us what was possible and what was not, offered suggestions to suit our specific needs and advised us of the timescales involved so that we had clear expectations. Once we had decided the Howdens design we wanted, he organised everything from deliveries to arranging and supervising the plasterer and electrician. The work included fitting new carcasses, internal drawers, carousels, new plug sockets and lighting and quartz worktops. Whenever a problem occurred Nigel found a solution and always had customer satisfaction as his main aim.   

The work was completed to a very high standard and inside the timescale that he gave us. We would happily recommend him to anyone wanting any work done.

I have recently had a total refit of my utility room which involved some extensive work including various trades. Nigel coordinated the entire project on my behalf and despite some unknown problems still managed to deliver an excellent standard on time and at great value. He has a broad skill set which he used to make helpful suggestions / options in resolving issues and nothing was too much effort or defeated him.

I have no problem in highly recommending this business.

Work was carried out promptly and with great care and attention. So pleased with the result.

We chose Nigel to fit our kitchen as he has done work for us before and his standard to detail is impeccable.

Nigel is punctual and very trustworthy. He oversaw the electrician and the plasterer which were both to a high standard. There were issues which Nigel seemed to overcome as if they weren't there and completed the job on time.

I can't praise him enough and if you want a high standard of workmanship Nigel is your man for the job, very highly recommended.
