Excellent. Steve fitted an oak internal bi-fold door into my home that needed bespoke modification to fit a slightly mismatched opening plus additional oak architraves.  Steve is highly skilled and experienced, leaving a high quality finish with everything straight and running smoothly.  High attention to fine detail and quality workmanship throughout, thoroughly planning the build in advance and cleverly concealing the fixings.  Professional and courteous service.  Digital written quotes and invoicing.  Worked long hours and always cleaned up afterwards.  Highly recommended.

We are really pleased with our new front door that Steve made for us, which is exactly how we wanted it and in keeping with the age of our property. From the start of the project to the finish, Steve has been professional- giving us advice, making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it, and completing the job to a high standard.

Steve did an amazing job and made my house look stunning. We would highly recommend to friends and family. He was very considerate and patient towards our daughter with special needs. Steve cleared up as he worked whilst taking his time to give a good look. If we need any work done in the future, we know to contact him again.

Steve did an amazing job fitting a flat packed kitchen for me. His attention to detail is superb, he solved various issues (kitchen supplier’s fault), worked neatly and was polite and considerate. Highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

Stephen was solid. Quick response, good communication, excellent work, and an actual invoice! Everything you expect of a professional business. I've asked him to come back to follow up on other bits. He also made no fuss about my cat going wild as he worked...bit plus!

Steve replaced 10 of our internal doors with replacement oak doors. He done a fantastic job and was very neat and tidy. Would use again for any future works.

One-Year Workmanship Warranty

Our completed workmanship is covered by a one-year warranty.

I am delighted with the work Steve did for me and would wholeheartedly recommend him. He has such a wide range of skills. Not only that, but he is flexible and resourceful when unexpected problems arise and always has a solution. An added bonus was how tidy he left the site after he had finished. I will definitely use him again.

Steve and his team at SP Bespoke have been a breath of fresh air when doing some carpentry work at my house. I have initially got them to correct some previous poor work and finish it off correctly. They turned up on time when they said they would, their work is excellent and they always tidied up after everyday. I will be using them for more work in my house and part of a new kitchen where we need much more bespoke work that a kitchen company cannot provide.


Fantastic work and reliable service

We were extremely impressed with the knowledge and skills together with the high end service both Steve and his assistant, James provided. Our dilapidated external feature staircase to our Oast is now beautifully restored. Our Well has also been enhanced by introducing a bespoke duo pitched cedar shingle tiled canopy. All to budget. Passers-by have since stopped to admire and take photo's commenting on how beautiful the Oast looks- thanks to SP Bespoke Ltd.


Oast House: Feature Staircase and Canopy over Well

Stephen has done an excellent job. He has lined the hole and fitted beautifully engineered doors that soft close. He has succeeded in turning an ugly hole into a useful built-in cupboard that looks like it has always been there. He left the work site, in and out, as clean as it was when he started. I can highly recommend him and I will certainly use him again if I need to.

Carpenter for Canterbury Homes

Canterbury properties often need a measured approach. Homes around St Dunstan's, Northgate, Wincheap and St Stephen's may have alcoves, chimney breasts, uneven walls or limited storage. Student lets around Hales Place and Sturry Road often need durable fittings for regular use.

Central Canterbury can also mean narrow streets, parking restrictions, shared entrances and delivery limits. Tell us early so we can plan properly.

Common Local Storage Challenges

• Alcoves and chimney breasts
• Uneven walls
• Compact bedrooms
• Student let storage
• Worn timber details
• City-centre access
• Period features

We plan around these issues from the start.

Bespoke Joinery in Canterbury

Bespoke joinery helps where standard furniture leaves gaps or does not suit the way you use a room. We can discuss alcove shelving, fitted cupboards, home-office units, doors, frames and other timber details alongside the wardrobe and kitchen services above.

Choose the right storage for the job. Shelves for books need a different arrangement from a desk, display unit or closed cupboard. Tell us what the piece needs to hold, how often you use it and which existing features must remain accessible.

See examples of our Canterbury work. View our Sapele alcove shelving in Canterbury, white MFC home-office storage in Canterbury and fitted bookcases in Dunkirk. Each case study includes project details and photographs.

If you want to retain existing timber features rather than replace them, you can also explore our woodwork restoration services. Send photographs of the item and its condition so we can discuss whether repair or replacement is appropriate.
