About working in Torquay.

Torquay's mix of Victorian seafront villas, Edwardian terraces and newer apartments means we get every kind of carpentry job — sash window adjustments in the older homes around Wellswood and St Marychurch, full kitchen installs in the buy-to-lets near the harbour, and bespoke media walls in the new builds out at Decoy Park. Holiday-let owners around Babbacombe and the Strand make up a steady chunk of the work too — fast turnarounds between bookings, hard-wearing doors and reinforced frames after years of guest use.

From our Paignton base: roughly 10 minutes (4 miles). We can usually be on-site for a quote within 24 hours.

  • Jamie Hollingworth23/03/2026

    Reece is a local carpenter who is very reliable, respectful and trustworthy. I had 7 internal doors replaced which were not the easiest as all the frames were far from straight. Reece done an excellent job to over come this and finished the job to a high standard. Highly recommend him.

  • Samantha B09/03/2026

  • Bill Collins16/02/2026

    6 doors fitted by Reece. More than happy with the with the job. Tidy worker Reece always tidied up

  • Rob Smith27/01/2026

    We have just had all of our internal doors replaced. From the first visit, to quote and installation the communication was great. Reece was always punctual, cleaned up at the end of the day and has done a fantastic job - a really great tradesman, I can’t recommend him highly enough.

  • natalie Boyd15/12/2025

    Great job, very efficient, and left the house spotless, cupboard doors look amazing.

  • Tom Cobos15/11/2025

    We urgently needed a new door for the guest toilet after having to get rid of the old one, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, Reece was professional, efficient, and incredibly attentive to detail. He listened to everything we asked for—including fitting the lock exactly as needed—and made sure the space was spotless when he finished. It’s rare to find someone who works this quickly and carefully. We’re so glad we chose the right person for the job!

  • Leanne Jordan14/11/2025

    We couldnt be happier with Reece. His work is FANTASTIC! He is such a hard worker, such a lovely chap. I would recommend him to everyone. He has done a stunning job on our media wall. Thank you so much!

  • Sara Welsman13/03/2024

    Reece was fantastic! Quick response to my initial enquiry and attended the same day to carry out remedial problem following a “repair “ carried out by a different carpenter two weeks ago. My large kitchen wall cupboard is now firmly fixed and safe to use. Reece was friendly, efficient, professional, inexpensive and left everything tidy. I would definitely recommend him and use his services again. Thank you so much.

  • Brandon de Escofet28/02/2024

    Reece fitted us a brand new kitchen and did an outstanding job back in August 22. Is friendly, reliable and very professional. A few issues arose during the fit and reece found solutions for all of them, he overcomes all problems and gets the job done to a very high standard! Very pleased!

  • sonia johnson22/02/2024
