What Matt does

One carpenter for the whole job

From a single door rehung to a full run of fitted units. All works carried out personally by myself from start to finish. Supply and fit, or labour only. No fuss, no stress.

A white half-glazed panel door with a round metal knob, skirting fitted below

All types of door installation, from veneer, timber and laminated to uPVC and composite, and the door furniture fitted.

A media wall with lit slatted alcove shelves, an inset fire and a wall-mounted TV

Fireplace, floating shelves and the wiring hidden, built into the wall and finished flush.

A shaker-style kitchen under a vaulted beamed ceiling, wood-effect worktops and floor

Kitchens fitted level and square, worktops cut and joined on site.

Alcove units either side of a chimney breast, cane-panel doors below open shelves

Alcove units, fitted wardrobes and bookcases, made to measure for the room they go in.

A timber newel and handrail with black spindles beside a carpeted staircase

Oak cladding fitted over your existing treads and risers, with a new handrail, spindles and newel posts. The staircase you have, made to look new, without tearing it out.

Why people have me back

The bits that actually matter

Ask anyone I’ve worked for and the same few words keep coming up.

  1. One man, start to finish

    I do the work myself. Nothing’s subbed out, so the standard on the last day is the standard on the first.

  2. On time, every time

    I turn up when I say I will, and if something changes you hear it from me first, not after you have waited in.

  3. Leaves it spotless

    “… the tidiest workman we’ve had to date!” I clear up inside and out, and I check you’re happy before I go.

  4. Keeps you in the loop

    You’ll know what’s happening and when. I’d rather tell you about a hold-up than leave you wondering.

Gemma S. · Doors · Taunton · on Checkatrade

“…He finished the work in good time, was very polite and hardworking and my bookcases turned out beautifully. I will definitely be hiring him again for any carpentry needs.”

The man behind the tools

Hi, I’m Matt

I’ve been a carpenter for over twenty years, NVQ Level 3 qualified since 2001, working right across Bridgwater and Somerset. Doors and flooring are my bread and butter, but I take on everything from media walls and fitted furniture to kitchens, staircases, and decking and cladding outside.

It’s just me on the tools, so you deal with one person the whole way through. The same face who quotes the job is the one who does it, and leaves your house tidy at the end. That’s how I’ve ended up with 220 reviews at 9.92 out of 10, and it’s how I’d like to earn yours.
