Beautiful woodwork

Chris Byford produces outstanding pieces of bespoke carpentry and joinery work. The images below show some oak window shutters which he built for two of the ground floor rooms of our C18th cottage in Bibury; they reflect the period character of their respective rooms as well as helping keep out the cold! Construction utilised approx. 85% salvaged English oak with some new material for one or two of the cross-members - it is difficult to identify which ones specifically such is the quality of Chris' joinery and the excellent finishing. Highly recommended specialist carpenter/ joinery with extensive experience of timber conservation.

Over the past 3 years Chris has done a lot of work for us - those are our shutters in his gallery! - and the quality is a real pleasure. He's replaced windows, made cupboards and built those shutters and the work is really excellent. Old-fashioned craftsmanhip, a practised eye for detail and an impeccable standard of work. And to cap it all a nice bloke as well. Highly recommended.

Chris made a gorgeous picnic table and bench for our mum's 70th birthday. The carpentry is amazing and she absolutely loves it. Thank you Chris.
