For the next couple of weeks I will be making and/or repairing sliding sash windows.

Combined Toilet/Basin – A First For Me!

Posted on December 6, 2022June 16, 2025 by Michael

This was a refit of a separate bathroom and toilet area. There wasn’t a lot of space in the toilet area, so I fitted a combined toilet and basin – a first for me!

Herringbone Flooring

Posted on September 2, 2022June 16, 2025 by Michael

This week I have been laying a light oak floor in a herringbone pattern. It was slow progress, but the results speak for themselves.

Boundary Wall

Posted on June 16, 2022June 16, 2025 by Michael

This boundary wall was demolished by a fallen tree during Storm Ciara. I cleared up the mess and rebuilt the wall, incorporating fence panels. The biggest problem with this project was matching the bricks, which I managed to do with a blend of secondhand bricks.

Garden Wooden Wall & Steps

Posted on April 2, 2022June 16, 2025 by Michael

We upgraded the existing retaining wall and steps, then created a wooden border for a raised flower bed that incorporated steps up to the higher section of the garden.

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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!
