Thank you so much for transforming our dining room, it looks absolutely stunning and I keep smiling every time I walk in there.

I just wanted to let you know that both my husband and daughter were blown away when they got home and saw your work. We all think the furniture you have crafted is superb and nothing short of perfect. We couldn't have even dreamt of a better outcome and are extremely pleased with what you have done with the TV cabinet and the desk and shelves in my daughter's room. My daughter is still grinning from ear to ear! Thank you for such a professional job and such brilliant workmanship.

I’ve been meaning to contact you to tell you how bowled over I was with the wardrobes when I first saw them, and still am for that matter. You and your team have done a fantastic job, I couldn’t have asked for more. My husband and I are now looking for more things that you could do for us and we will definitely be recommending you.

I wanted to say a very big thank you for the fantastic job that you did on transforming our bedroom. The quality and finish of the furniture you made is exceptional and with a new baby on the way I was very grateful that you were able to fit them within the original time frame agreed.
I was particularly impressed with the attention to detail that you demonstrated throughout the job. I love the way in which the grain in each wardrobe door matches the next, the flexibility that the adjustable shelving provides and the levellers on the bedside units – which compensate for my uneven floor boards.
Needless to say, I am absolutely delighted with my bedroom and I have had no hesitation in recommending you to my friends and family as the professional workmanship you displayed is very rare these days.
Many thanks and kind regards

I would have no hesitation in recommending DG Carpentry. Duncan's approach and meticulous attention to detail is a rarity in today's "mass produced" world and it is a pleasure to find a craftsman so committed to delivering excellence and good value for money. Duncan has completed a number of projects for us and consistently provides a level of customer service that is simply excellent. Of particular note, Duncan leaves a job with everything totally finished – from tidying up and cleaning away the debris, to popping back after a few weeks (in our case) to make sure everything is functioning correctly (which it was!)

Duncan has undertaken several projects for us over the last four years – display units, new internal folding doors and bedroom furniture. We have been delighted with the results. Duncan takes great care in advising, designing, measuring and preparing his work resulting in an extremely high standard of workmanship. He is also very good at completing projects within the timeframe allocated. We can therefore, highly recommend Duncan to anyone who is looking for furniture that is individually designed and superbly crafted.

Thanks for doing a super job. Our bedrooms turned out exactly as we wanted them, and the quality is superb. All work was carried out on time and with the minimum amount of fuss and disturbance to us. We would be happy to recommend you to anyone thinking of having any type of carpentry work done.

Duncan Gilby was recommended to us by a friend who had been very impressed with his work – and we in turn have recommended him to a number of other friends. He has made bespoke bedroom furniture to maximise use of awkward places, as well as produced exact replicas of Victorian panel doors to replace damp/rotten originals in a Grade II listed building. He has always been honest and upfront with the timeframe for completion of work and cost. We will continue to recommend Duncan to our friends who are looking for great quality at a realistic price.
Kind regards
