Reviews of Crescent Carpentry & Building Ltd

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.

There's little additional praise that I can add to these 287 5* reviews that Nigel has justifiably earned by his excellent work over 10 years.

For my kitchen refit, if I could give Nigel 10*, then I would. He removed the existing kitchen worktops, hob, oven, free standing dishwasher and fridge, leaving many but not all of the floor and wall carcases. He then fitted several new carcasses, added the new doors, aligned them all, fitted carousel and pull-out shelving, arranged and supervised plaster and electrical work, prepared for the new quartz worktop templating – where everything HAS to be right.

Along the way, Nigel encountered several issues and resolved them – as if they had never occurred - Nigel does not like anything less than perfect. A week later, the worktop components went on perfectly and Nigel turned his attention to the hob, sink, tap and dishwasher, all finished, working and looking great.

Finally the new LVT floor tiles – again ordered from Howdens and fitted beautifully in less than a day. New kitchens are not only expensive to buy, but it’s crucial that the person fitting them knows exactly what they’re doing and Nigel is a master craftsman.

Contacted Nigel and he was quick to respond and arranged to visit us to see what we required. As he has a Howdens account we picked the kitchen items we liked, ordered and paid for them. Nigel then arranged for a convenient time to come and remove the old kitchen and install new, all very efficient and professionally. We highly recommend Crescent Carpentry and Building Ltd 

We have been building up to having work done at our home of nearly 25 years and we tried to have everything done at once!  Nigel was so accommodating and honest. He reined me in from unnessessary spending in areas such as our staircase which didn't need replacing (my first thought) by repairing the treads. No more dreaded creaks or wobbles now!  

We had 12 beautiful Holden oak doors fitted by Nigel in two stages - firstly in September and then November which helped us accommodate other work that was being done in the meantime. The doors look beautiful and at 33kg each they are no picnic to fit. Not only does Nigel do an excellent job (however tricky it gets) but everything is done with good humour which both my husband and I appreciated.  

It was a pleasure having Nigel working here and we are delighted with every aspect of the work he has done for us. He puts the customer first and works reallly hard to make sure you are happy with the results.

We are returning customers of Nigel and specifcally wanted him to fit our Grade II listed kitchen. Nigel helped us with the design, organised other trades such as plumbing etc and fitted our kitchen. Given the size and  shape of our kitchen, it required Nigel's incredible skills and craftmenship which comes with many years experience to give us a perfect kitchen! Nigel goes above and beyond and fully recommend him.
