DS Joinery

We have used DS Joinery for a kitchen installation previously, however, on this occasion it was to remove and dispose of old double glazing ( 9 windows) . Darren installed the new double glazing , supplied and installed a new internal porch door and a new backdoor, including all the joinery and dry wall installation and new UPVC window ledges throughout.

At the end of each day the work area was swept and hoovered. We are already thinking about a further project to replace the internal doors , and I would have no hesitation in getting DS Joinery back in for this work.

Darren has been great to work with.

Quick to come out and quote, very competitive too.

Very good customer service, great job done and left the garden immaculate after installing new fencing.

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, in fact I’ve got Darren lined up for another job, I was so impressed.

Darren was initially hired to install our kitchen for us, after seeing the quality of his work we quickly asked him to take on a few other jobs we had been considering.

Daren was very accommodating and communicated clearly throughout.

I would absolutely recommend Darren and his team as I am considering using him again for a future job.

I had to have a new ceiling installed into the bathroom and also the wall re plastered due to a leak from the flat upstairs.
I had to wait a while for the job to be done. However, it was carried out very quickly and competently by Darren and his plasterer once we had the date. It was a super job - everything completed in one day and we are very happy with the quality and value. Many thanks

Darren is a lovely man he is friendly and he kept us fully informed from start to finish during the completion of our new kitchen he was on time and tidied up after himself l was expecting a really stressful experience but thanks to Darren it was not I am delighted with his professionalism and high standards of workmanship I have a few more jobs for Darren to complete for me and I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Darren recently refurbished our main bathroom and downstairs cloakroom and we are very pleased with the results. He is very friendly and approachable, and he consulted us throughout the work, suggesting ways of improving the layout and finish of the rooms.

During the work, Darren was unfortunately let down at very short notice by his previous regular tiler, but Darren recovered the situation by finding a good alternative tiler in a short timescale, which minimised the delay for us.

The new bathrooms are lighter, brighter and more modern looking - we are very pleased.

Darren is a very friendly guy and easy to work with. Once we had all the parts the full bathroom refit was completed quickly. They say a picture speaks a thousand words, and so I leave you with image, which very much speaks for itself. And saves me some writing;)

We had Darren do our new bathroom and couldn't be happier with everything!

Firstly he came to measure the space and let us see samples of the wet walls we were considering and gave recommendations on specific materials.
We ordered a bigger bath than was originally in place and Darren advised switching our sink/vanity to give us more space and this was definitely the right choice so we appreciated the knowledge and suggestions!
The job was completed in the time he said it would take and everything was finished off to a high standard.
At the end of each day the room was tidied up so there wasn't any mess left.

Would recommend DS Joinery if you are looking to have any work done in your house!

Darren built a new fence and did an attractive and excellent job. He was punctual and communicated with myself and my neighbour throughout the work.

Darren came to our rescue when another company pulled out at the last minute. He was reliable in all his communications from the start, which was one of the main reasons we chose him over others. He also gave us a very reasonable and very detailed quote.

Darren fitted a whole new shower, replaced the flooring in our hallway and fitted a new kitchen sink and tap. He was reliable and very tidy. He also advised us on how to best approach the project (and very kindly was available when we needed help buying the materials), as we had never done anything like this before. The end result is fantastic.

We are very lucky to have found Darren, and are sure to use him for other projects in the future.

I honestly don't think I can put into words how impressed we were with Darren. From start to finish Darren was the most professional and reliable genius we have met. Nothing is too big a job for Darren and he keeps you fully updated every step of the way. This was quite a big job, basically upgrading a whole house which had not been touched for many years, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, all new flooring and much more. He had such an amazing approach with an understandably anxious pensioner saying he was moving her into modern living and making her feel relaxed during the whole process. All of the tradesmen that Darren brought onto the job were also amazing and we have asked them back for additional work. We have already asked Darren back to do other works and would not go to anyone else now. If I could give him 100 out of 10 I would. Thank you so much for what you did.

We decided to chose DS Joinery for our kitchen fitting as we were initially very impressed with Darren's knowledge and attention to detail, and we are very glad to have done it. He did an amazing job and we are very happy with our new kitchen. Darren is a perfectionist and he always made sure to keep us informed about everything he did. He committed to his schedules and made sure we got the best results in our works. His team of trusted contractors was also very trustworthy and professional. We couldn't recommend DS Joinery more! Thank you

Darren took on my kitchen refit when I had been let down by a previous fitter. I’m located on the second floor of a tenement so not the easiest to access. He came out to inspect the job returning with an electrician and plumber before giving me a quote.
While waiting for the job to start, Darren was very responsive and kept me informed of the start date.
The scope of the works involved removing the old kitchen, levelling the floor, moving services due to a new layout, fitting of the new kitchen and tiling.
Some bespoke joinery was created to house in the boiler and a window seat with storage.
I’m very happen with the standard of work done and Darren’s professionalism overall. I would not hesitate to recommend.

I had my bathroom done ,I was so happy with Darren and his work I went back to him to help with some urgent adjustments in my home .

Darren was great he is 100% reliable,friendly,he listened carefully to what I wanted,and ensured that my requests were met .The bathroom was completely to a very high standard , communication was good and when work was started it was completed within the timescale that had been stated,he was respectful of my home ,I was very happy with every aspect of working with Darren
So much so that when I had a change of circumstances and needed some emergency adjustment made to my home I went back to Darren he immediately understood situation and was sympathetic fitting the work in to an already busy schedule.
I have absolutely no hesitation in saying I have 100% confidence in this business and look forward to continuing to work with Darren ,iam not easily impressed but iam impressed with Darren !

Darren came to my rescue when the bathroom floor in my less than 10-year old flat disintegrated. He visited to scale the job and provide an estimate at short notice, classified the situation as dangerous and fitted in the work within weeks although he is in very high demand.

He not only carried out the essential work but also improved the floor and flooring to prevent similar issues in the future, which I very much appreciate.

Darren was very professional, reliable and friendly. I would definitely use his services again.

We needed a large bathroom repair done after a leak had caused damage. Darren was helpful and professional throughout the process, providing advice and completing the job to a great standard. He was easy to communicate with, and communicated well with our tenant too.

We booked Darren for our bathroom work after searching for the right trader for a long time. First off Darren's quote was very fair and second of all, he was responsive, answered all our questions and came quickly to assess the job (redoing main bathroom and converting a small box room into a shower room).

Getting a date for the job felt a bit long from agreement (almost 3 months) as Darren is in demand but once start date was confirmed, everything went smoothly. Darren did a lot of work himself, leaving things tidy each day. He also has a reliable network of traders (electrician, tiler, plasterer, plumber) who were all very professional and friendly. We ordered tiles and furniture ourselves but Darren picked up missing pieces with his trade account. He was also flexible when we changed our mind, giving good advice (for example getting a new bath instead of keeping the old one to keep with the room's updated design).

Finally Darren was also very kind to do a few fixes around the house. Would definitely recommend and will book again with no hesitation in the future.

Helped us out swiftly with emergency security situation.
Very helpful, obliging, and would have no hesitation in recommending or using again.

Had the misfortune to have three burst pipes in the attic a week before Christmas. I called Darren through Trusted Trader along with another joiner's number who never got back to me. Darren came out straight away, surveyed the damage and booked the work in for early January. Very reliable workman and would recommend to others.

A previous builder had made a complete mess of stud wall and tiling of a toilet / shower room. I found Darren via trusted trader and was not disappointed. He is a busy man and has to be booked well in advance.
The work involved was total stripping out of a double tiled wall, removal of plasterboard, wedi board, and much of the poor quality stud timber work and replacing same. The tiling work was done by another tradesman, Graham, who also furnished first class work.
Both Darren and Graham were very tidy so I was not left with lots of mess to clear up.
I give a "4" rather than "5" for Value for Money as I do not have a good yardstick to make a judgement.
I have no hesitation in recommending Darren (and indeed Graham) to future customers.
