TESTIMONIALS

"I engaged DMC carpentry through an advert in a local magazine.
I had been searching for a carpenter for some time with no results. This was the first project Darren took on for me - my utility.

Outstanding results in a very difficult space - Darren is honest reliable and always precise. He produces indepth quotes, nothing is left to chance and he adhers to his specs.

Since this, all carpentry within my home is given to Darren even if I have to wait a little while. I know his integrity and quality of craftsmanship and just worth a little wait - I am never disappointed. Because of my confidence in DMC Darren has undertaken a new staircase, fitted wardrobes, internal and external doors."

"Darren did a fantastic job with our kitchen and we are extremely pleased with it.
His attention to detail is incredible and he wasn't happy until it was 100% right. He's
a real perfectionist and a very skilled / talented craftsman. The workman ship of the finished kitchen is really impressive and everyone who sees it comments on how fantastic it looks.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Darren and I will definitely use him again."

Stephen Levett
 "We’ve used Darren for a range of different projects going back a number of years. As well as delivering an excellent job at a fair price he adds value with his ideas and suggestions. Just as importantly, Darren is friendly and courteous and all of the family are comfortable with him working in the family home."

Steve Lake
"I approached DMC Carpentry because they had been recommended by other clients. Darren has designed and fitted a new wardrobe for our master bedroom, replaced the shelving and rails in all the other existing fitted wardrobes so that they meet our requirements and fitted new bannisters and hand rail for the stairs.
Darren takes the time to listen to your requirements and is patient enough to work with you until you find a design or solution that works for you. The result is of course bespoke to you.
 
Darren is very personable, trustworthy and a perfectionist. We are extremely pleased with all the work DMC have done for us and would not hesitate to recommend their work."

Julie Aldridge
 "In 2015, we decided to change our kitchen and after some lengthy investigation, resulted in giving the contract to DMC. We soon realised that this was a highly professional company with the owner working with his staff to ensure that mistakes were kept to a minimum and resolved with the minimum of fuss. 
The standard of work they produced was of the highest quality and any differences were discussed and amended to our satisfaction.
I have no hesitation in recommending DMC for any job, large or small."

Margaret Loveridge
"Darren installed our kitchen in summer 2015. The work was carried out to a very high standard and was completed on time and on budget. The whole area was kept tidy and all the subcontractors used for plumbing and electric work were well coordinated. The operation ran very smoothly. We would have no hesitation in using Darren again."

Sean and Margaret
"Having waited too many years to update/upgrade my old kitchen I was so fortunate to have had Darren and his small friendly Team recommended to me.

Once a date was agreed having waited a few months for a gap in his very busy schedule, but knew this was a sign of a skilled craftsman and likely worth waiting for and they most certainly were, every bit worth the wait. No doubt not their biggest or most expensive job, but the service, advice, workmanship and finish was equally attentive and outstanding. Following our discussions Darren initially produced 3-D demo drawings enabling me to visualise exactly how the kitchen would look. Darren offered great advice around all my options and choices and delivered on everything we discussed. With a bonus of fabulous new flooring which I hadn't t even thought of. That personal touch seems sadly rare these days. The end result was emotional, having waited so long to have a kitchen I could be proud of. It's made it a joy to go home and cook (and for me thats weird). It's also added value to the house. The Team work hard over long days and are totally trustworthy, which meant I was able to leave them alone most days, so lost no time off work. They always locked the house up etc at the end of each day. 

Thank you Darren and the Team. An excellent, totally value for money job and absolutely worth the wait. I would highly recommend this company, you won't be disappointed on any aspect of the work, from price to precision finishing."

"DMC replaced my kitchen using units from Howdens at Darren's recommendation. Having used lower quality DIY items myself previously I now realize the extra cost of units from Howdens was money well spent. Darren is very particular about the end product of any jobs he takes on, one thing that stands out in my mind was when I was watching him getting a straight line using a 10 foot level, he made his work college make small adjustments of a mm up or down over a 10 foot distance to get the units absolutely level. The fitment of my kitchen went ahead without any hitches thanks to the organisation and planning of Darren. I would certainly recommend Darren from DMC not only for kitchen fitment but for any job you may want to employ a good carpenter for."

Mike C
"Despite being very excited at the prospect of a new kitchen and utility room we were initially a little apprehensive of undertaking such a large project. We needn’t have worried. Darren, our Project Manager, who also dealt with all the carpentry and fitting of the kitchen and utility rooms was superb. He had the patience of a saint answering all our questions and soon allaying any worries. He liaised with every tradesmen involved in the project, all of whom were very pleasant, courteous and respectful of our home. Most importantly they all obviously knew their craft. We are absolutely delighted with our new kitchen and utility room and cannot thank or recommend Darren highly enough.."

Susan & Finlay McIntosh
"I was so pleased with DMC, who fitted my dream kitchen to an exceptionally high standard. They always arrived when they said they would and ensured I was never left without a functioning kitchen during the refit. The attention to detail was fantastic and I would definitely recommend this extremely professional team for any project".

Dave martin
"I have known Darren for about 7 years, he has done several jobs for me, fitted a new kitchen, new stair spindles, fitted wardrobe and built me a false chimney breast, he managed to construct this from a rough drawing on paper.
He built and constructed new bespoke doors and window to match which is stunning.

Anything Darren puts his mind to is done with such craftsmanship and attention to detail, nothing is to much trouble.

I would recommend DMC Carpentry/Darren, he is totally honest and trustworthy and would call on him for any future work I need doing."


Anne
"‘Excellent workmanship in the fitting of our completely new kitchen and new banisters to the stairs.
All work carried out in a very professional, but friendly manner, to an extremely high standard.
Would highly recommend.’"

Christine & Michael
"I waited 30 years for a new kitchen, so I had to make sure it was worth the wait. DMC carpentry come highly recommended. Darren and his team arrived early every day and worked morning till night to ensure every part of the job was completed professionally and within timescale. I was absolutely amazed with the finished product, especially, as my kitchen is an unusual shape and the solid oak work tops could only be fitted by a professional carpenter. I now have a beautiful kitchen to work in every day, which is unrecognisable from the original. 
Due to the high standard of work done by DMC, I called him back to replace all the internal doors in my house, install new banisters and picture rails in my hallway. This was also completed to an amazing standard.
I would recommend DMC Carpentry to anyone who is looking for a friendly professional team to complete a job to the highest standard."

Elaine
"Darren is a first class carpenter, a genuine perfectionist who goes more than the extra mile to make sure that every job is finished perfectly.

I have employed Darren on various projects over the past five years and have been so impressed with his standard of work and his work ethic that when I want things done I only call him and if he's not available I just wait until he is.

I can thoroughly recommend Darren Courtney for any carpentry work required, he is a pleasure to deal with and does a first class job, every time."

Robert Becket
"We were looking for an experienced competent carpenter to install a dressing room in our new home. We had an idea of what we wanted and looked to get some quotes.

Darren was highly recommended from a friend and as such we approached him. Darren came across professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He took his time and went through various options, what has worked well for him in the past to give us optimum space and storage with various finishes which all ranged in price.
 
This for us is our forever home and as such we did not skimp on cost. We had been given other quotes that were cheaper however I believe you get what you pay for and we had built a better rapport with Darren. We are extremely pleased we followed our feelings and went with Darren. The finish was impeccable and to say he is a perfectionist is an understatement. Nothing was too much trouble and Darren would consult and advise at every point should he think something could be done a better way.
 
We can whole heartedly say I will never go with anyone else again and liked his work so much we have got him to price up our kitchen as the next project.
 
You get what you pay for with Darren and if you want something finished flawlessly in the timescales allocated and within the costs of the invoice I would highly recommend him."

Nick Rowe
"Darren from DMC has done a number of projects for us starting with new wardrobes in two of the bedrooms to create more storage and no wasted space. Then we have had new internal doors all down stairs to create more light, So the doors don’t bang he put new trim round the edge. He has also guided us to choosing the best product for our needs within our price range. He also designed a new step on one of the door so it made it safe for my mum. The last thing is new skirting in all the bedrooms.

We are very happy with the work from DMC and would not hesitate to use him again the down side he is always very busy so make sure you plan ahead."

Samantha Jenkins
"Darren built me two bookcases. He designed and supplied drawings of both of them and gave me a price for the job that was accurate and of good value. Darren stuck to the arranged date, arrived on time and was respectful and courteous of my property and belongings. He was completely trustworthy. Not only was Darren's workmanship excellent but he always cleaned up at the end of each day. I would definitely use DMC Carpentry again, I am so pleased with the two bookcases and thoroughly recommend Darren's work."

Allison Gill
"Darren has carried out several projects for us. These have all been completed at a reasonable cost and to our total satisfaction. He clearly takes a pride in his work which is of a very high quality. He is punctual, reliable and a thoroughly pleasant person to deal with. He has the knowledge and experience to overcome any unexpected problems that may crop up. The work is undertaken so as to minimise disruption, and our house is always left in pristine condition when the works are complete.


In short, he is someone that we can always trust to do a first class job."

Bob and Adrienne Tuck
"Darren is a perfectionist when it comes to carpentry, his finish to our staircase is outstanding. We were informed from the beginning we had to wait for 6 months before work started, which in itself speaks volumes!
No added extra's, cost as per quote. Tidied work area every evening. 

We would not hesitate in employing Darren to do any further work for us."
