Hear from our satisfied customers about their experience with our services.
We commissioned Matthew at Smart Fix Carpenters to build us bespoke Alcove Units in our living room. No mean feat when every single surface of our 1930s house is wonky! We complicated it further by wanting one alcove to house our dartboard! Anyway, Matthew smashed it, perfect joinery, clean, tidy and polite: we couldn't be happier! Now we have the job of painting the units to a colour of choice :)
SmartFix Carpenters have recently completed an under stair cupboard. The cupboard has now made the space a usable space. SFC made a fantastic job, 5 stars!
Matthew is a very talented carpenter, his work is excellent and we would recommend him to anybody, if you want a good job done at a good price then contact him, you will not be disappointed, look forward to seeing you again on our next project Matthew.
Matthew worked very hard to achieve an excellent finish and he definitely shows dedication to his profession. (He’s a rare example these days of a true craftsman!). We would most definitely recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a genuine skilled carpenter who clearly takes great pride in this work.
Matthew came to my home this week and fitted 2 sets of double doors. He did a first class job and was a pleasure to have around. I would highly recommend Matthew and would gladly use him again.
Very pleased with our new balustrade and handrail, especially the shiny ends!!! Matthew knew exactly what we wanted, very reliable, hard worker and friendly. Top job, thank you.
Matthew was friendly & professional. Very competitive prices compared to other quotes I was given & quick to respond to messages. A tidy worker & gets the job done, even if it is quite challenging!
Matthew at Smartfix Carpenters fitted a complete replacement oak stair rail & spindles both up the stairs and along the return of the landing. He also fitted a new under stairs cupboard enclosure with 3 access doors for storage. Matthews work was extremely good and he overcame a few issues which were unexpected. The Final outcome of his work was excellent with the new stairs and cupboards transforming the look of our lounge and landing areas.
Superb job done by Smarfix Carpenters. Very competitive pricing and good quality materials were used to construct an outside shelter. Highly recommend.
Thank you Matthew we are thrilled with our new bespoke wardrobes you have built. You had great ideas, worked hard and we had a great finish result.
A professional and personable carpentry service from Smart Fix. Matthew fitted seven new internal doors and a bespoke cupboard, and we are delighted with the results. Highly recommended.
Absolutely brilliant from quote to finish. Not an easy job but Matthew found the perfect doors, was friendly and professional and worked non stop! I'd definitely recommend and definitely will be using him again. Thank you 🙏
Matthew did an outstanding job installing four solid oak doors for us today. He arrived on time, worked professionally, and completed everything exactly as requested. The quality of his work was excellent, and he left the space spotless. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable professional.
Matthew arrived on time and worked very hard to get our job completed. His work is excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend him!

Matthew has installed all new internal oak doors, including amending a door for the under-stairs cupboard, and he’s done a fantastic job — they look great! Highly recommended! Thank you, Matthew.
Matthew fitted 9 oak internal doors and bespoke oak ogee skirting boards around our fireplace. The work was exceptional — he works with care and is very clean and tidy. Excellent workmanship and a great worker. Highly recommended!
Matthew offers an excellent service. He is very efficient, hardworking, and extremely reliable. The standard of his work is excellent, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Smart Fix Carpenters. He built me an under-stairs cupboard/drawer — it is very well made and looks great.
Matthew is a first-class carpenter. He fitted laminated flooring in my hallway. He has excellent customer partnership and explained what he was doing from start to finish. Matthew is friendly and reliable, and will go the extra mile. He takes pride in the work he does and works to a high standard. He turned up on time and was very tidy after finishing the job. I was very impressed with his carpentry skills and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs carpentry done. Thank you for doing an excellent job on my laminated flooring. I will be calling again soon.

I am absolutely over the moon with the quality of the workmanship. Matthew is meticulous, reassuring, and did his utmost to accommodate my requests. Looking forward to working with Matthew again very soon.
My view is that you would be hard pushed to find a better carpenter anywhere than Matthew at Smart Fix Carpenters. He fitted an external stable door for me, and everything — from the initial consultation and quotation, to sourcing the door and the day’s work he did to install it — was superb. He is a perfectionist and will not leave a job until it meets both his and the customer’s satisfaction.
We have recently had Matthew from Smart Fix Carpenters replace 9 old internal doors with new pre-finished grey laminate doors. From start to finish, Matthew was very professional, polite, punctual, and an excellent carpenter. He is definitely reliable, trustworthy, and a first-class tradesman with outstanding knowledge and skills in carpentry and joinery. We are extremely happy with the work he has carried out — he truly has an eye for quality, detail, and excellent craftsmanship in his trade. Matthew left our house extremely tidy at the end of the day, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Smart Fix Carpenters to our friends, family, and anyone needing a carpenter. We've already booked more jobs with Smart Fix Carpenters. Thank you, Smart Fix Carpenters!
Rotten wood in the front door canopy was removed. The remaining good wood was treated to prevent wet rot. A new joint member was scarfed in and secured to support the existing joint. Very good result — thanks to Smart Fix Carpenters.
Thank you, Matthew, for a great job from start to finish. Very pleased with the result — would recommend to anyone. Very pleasant lad. Keep up the good work!
Matthew was polite, punctual, and professional from the first engagement to the moment he left the house. He kept me informed throughout the job and left the house extremely tidy. Thank you.
Door replacement — excellent job. Very clean and tidy work.
Fitting doors into our 18th-century barn has truly tested Matthew’s skills and perseverance — and he has been more than equal to the task. It’s hard to describe the difference the doors have made. Always happy and chatty, he works diligently, and by the end of the day, you wouldn’t have known he had been at work — that’s how clean he leaves the house each day.
Matthew fitted two doors for us, and they have made a great difference in our home. He is very diligent, has great attention to detail, and is a very tidy worker. Thank you, Matthew.
Matthew recently fitted a pair of heavy modern glazed internal doors for us, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Despite numerous problems caused by an out-of-square and badly fitted existing frame — and the fact that the doors were pre-finished and couldn’t be trimmed — he kept us constantly advised on what he was doing to overcome the issues. He ensured we were happy with the high standard and quality of his work, and we are pleased to submit this review and recommendation. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again in the future. He’s a first-class tradesman, as well as a polite and professional individual.
