Another Kitchen Makeover

Posted on February 28, 2025June 17, 2025 by Michael

With this project we had to remove the old kitchen, re plaster the walls, lay a herringbone vinyl floor. Refit a new kitchen with integrated appliances, decorate and tile. With the added discovery of a leaking water main under the old floor. For more about other projects please visit my Gallery page at https://mbcm.co.uk/gallery/

This week I have had some help from Robert Bonus in creating this bespoke summer house with covered seating area. This involves us having to shape the 150mm x 50mm timbers to interlock, forming a soild structure.

This week I have been servicing sprung sash windows and redecorating them both internally and externally. Due to the nature and height of the works, I have had help from Robert Bonus, a colleague of mine who helps me out from time to time.

Posted on August 15, 2024June 17, 2025 by Michael

This project in Welwyn Garden City was quite straightforward: I added wall units and a microwave to the left side, and created a new corner cupboard on the right side, in this existing kitchen.

Second time we have used Michael and delighted (again) with the outcome. Smaller project boxing in and changing some doors but all done with precision and to a high quality.

Chris Price

We had a complete kitchen renovation. Micheal & Rob were very good. Always punctual and managed subcontractors where required. We would happily use him again.

Michael and team cladded our steel stair case in oak. 100% happy with the finished job and process getting there. Michael communicated all the way through the project and delivered what he promised. Would highly recommend.

Michael has just finished 2 projects for us. Very impressed with speed of comms, quote, lead in and time on site.

Quality of work met the brief fully. 1 project demanded quality joinery of piecing in and repairing window and door frames. The other was more basic but Michael took both in his stride.

Just had my garage door replaced and I’m very pleased with the service I’ve had. Amazing team, very friendly and prompt. They got the door sorted swiftly. Great work, great service, will definitely use their services again and definitely recommend.

Micheal and his team recently installed some doors at my home including a pocket door, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The work was carried out with an exceptional level of professionalism and attention to detail.

Communication was excellent, and the work was completed on time and the house was left clean and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality, reliable carpentry. Great job and thank you again!

Allan Parkes

I've used Michael Black Carpentry for several years, and they’ve always delivered exceptional work. Most recently, they built a custom-designed summer house with a seating area, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The craftsmanship is outstanding, with every detail carefully thought out and beautifully executed.

Michael and his team are always professional, reliable, and kept me informed throughout the project, ensuring everything was exactly as I envisioned. If you're looking for a skilled and trustworthy carpenter who takes pride in their work, I highly recommend them

Thank you for another fantastic job!

I've used Michael for various jobs over the past 10 years. He has never let me down - in terms of quality of work, attention to detail, courtesy and fairness in pricing. Just recently he put in a new internal door and frame for me. Excellent work as usual ... and I have recommended him to other friends and will continue to do so.

Wendy Cachin

We recently had our bannister rail fitted by Michael and couldn’t be happier. Quick quotation turnaround and arrived when arranged and fitted to a high standard. We have recommended Michael to friends and family already!

David Dowling

Michael made us a range of furniture ranging from a shoe rack, a cabinet, the refit of 3 wooden windows and others. His work exceeded expectations, was good value for money and was delivered on time. I would recommend Michael to anyone

Ross Toms

Michael done a wonderful repair job on an inside door for me. Top work from a top bloke. Highly recommended.

David Fitzpatrick

Michael has done a range of jobs for us over the last year. Most recently he overhauled our wardrobes, part of which meant making new bespoke doors with beading and insetting some paper we’d picked up. Really tidy work, and always a reliable friendly service.

Lulu Smith

Micheal repaired and renovated our window cills and frames. He has done an excellent job, they are like new and we certainly would use him again. Highly recommended.

I approached Michael with 5 rooms to have flooring fitted, he gave his professional opinion and the best advice on which types of flooring he recommended. He was so helpful and always available to talk. Originally he was quite booked up but when we told him we were away on holiday he utilised that time as we figured it would tricky to work with the kids about! Can't thank him enough, it's perfect!
