Martin Clapham recently fitted replacement internal doors and an external garage side door for us. He discussed our requirements and sourced the materials, and also disposed of the old doors. Martin is a pleasant, reliable and tidy worker - he kept disruption to a minimum and cleared up any debris as he went along. We are very pleased with the results, and the standard of workmanship is first class. We would recommend him without reservation.

I have engaged Martin on a number of occasions over the past three years to carry out various carpentry works for me, I have always found Martin to be approachable, professional, tidy, capable, enthusiastic, hard working and above all else honest in his approach to both the site aspect of his work and also his invoicing. His costs are transparent, fair and reflect the nature of his work. Martin always shows respect to others and in turn has gained the respect of both myself and my team. I am happy to continue recommending Martin to all clients who are looking for professional work carried out by a good professional carpenter.

We moved to this house and the first job that was urgent was to rip out the old kitchen and dining room. Martin Clapham had been recommended to us by others .This was the best move we could have made. The removal of the old fittings was carried out with speed and cleanliness Martin then organised the work programme and other trades. We were so pleased with the finished Kitchen and Dining room that we had Martin do all our other carpentry and flooring work in the house. We would have no problem recommending Martin to anyone who wants a professional job doing.

Loft Converstion, 10 Seaford Road, Wokingham - We had approached 4 builders in total to initially quote for the proposed loft conversion at our property in Wokingham. Martin was 1 of 3 who turned up, on time and was able to provide a full comprehensive quotation, including additional extras such as cleaning once work was completed. Martin was quick to get in touch and equally quick to answer any questions or concerns we had relating to the project. Martin had no prior working knowledge with our architect but was able to liaise both him and his team to provide us with the conversion we had dreamed of. Martin and his team were always punctual and thoughtful, even contacting neighbours when necessary to ensure they were informed of any disruptive work. The conscientious approach ability to contact Martin at almost any time of the day made the whole project much more manageable than we could have expected. We were kept informed at every stage and called upon when we were needed to confirm any aesthetic detail. The overall finish and detail was of high quality and attention to detail very good, I have attached some photos to showcase the completed work. We were very happy with Martin and his team and would highly recommend his services.
Many thanks, Benjamin Stone

We have used Martin Clapham for the past 3-4 years on work that relates to our current and previous residence. He has completed work that ranges from general wood work (hanging of doors, skirting, kitchens etc), to more complex jobs such as building structurally sound stud walls, roofing, and the extension of our kitchen room in the spring of 2013. We have found Martin to be one of the most loyal, helpful and reliable tradesman we have had to date, he is always punctual, and always will do his best to communicate if there is anything different. His standard of work is excellent along with his attention to detail, he listens to what we want and gets on and does it. We have been so pleased with Martin that we have actually recommended him to others, the feedback from them too has been excellent. We have more work planned on our home next year and we'll not hesitate to ask Martin whether he can work with us on renovating the dormer we are planning. I would have no hesitation in recommending Martin at all.

I am happy to submit a positive reference for Martin Clapham. In the past 7 years we have progressed from a general building company specializing in extensions and alterations, to a larger scale set up offering a complete solution for clients. During this time we have fitted numerous kitchens of which Martin has been involved with the design and fit on all of them. It is not so much his fitting ability, which is of a very high standard, but his methodology and attitude that sets him apart from other sub-contractors we have used in the past. We have always found that if something is missing, Martin will go that extra mile and go and collect it, rather than stop work. This has ensured that all our projects have come in on time and importantly on budget and clients have often been surprised to see him still finishing work at gone 6pm in the evening. Martin has also shown a huge willingness to progress. When we first started fitting kitchens, we would bring in another sub-contractor to fit the worktops. However Martin took it upon himself to buy the appropriate tools and start fitting them himself as he felt it would make him a more complete tradesman. We still use Martin to fit all our kitchens and have never had any discrepancies with his work.
