Old School Carpentry

Sash window repair - Darren came to look and quote for some window repairs. Turns out it was a much bigger job than I initially thought once her looked. We needed 4 new sashes along with some other work! It took time but they came out beautifully. Daren is friendly, responsive to messages and competitively priced. I fully recommend him and would not hesitate to use him again.

Darren did an incredible job fixing my sash windows! He was responsive, punctual, and paid great attention to detail. My windows were once completely stuck and wouldn’t budge, but now they glide open effortlessly! Darren even went the extra mile to help me close a window I wasn’t planning to fix yet. He also gave me some great advice on how to paint the sash windows. I’m really thankful for his help and highly recommend his services. Thanks again, Darren!

Sash window repairs - Darren from Old School Carpentry is a master craftsman in all respects. His workmanship and his customer service are both outstanding. I can not recommend Darren more highly and will be happily having Darren back to work further on the remaining windows in the house which require a full replacement. Darren expertly returned our double hung sash windows to beautiful working order and installed his draught seal to each. Nothing was straightforward in our heritage house but nothing phased Darren. His prices are also excellent value. The outcome is one very happy customer and home with beautifully restored windows, a lovely breeze (previously none opened nor could open with missing parts) and no breeze at all when the windows are closed. I read his reviews before contacting Darren and am happily adding to his glowing reviews.

Very happy with responsiveness and work. Darren very pleasant to have around. Most importantly he 'got it'. It's a rental and I don't want rolls royce service and prices. I just want it fixed for a reasonable price. He accommodated me when one window turned into two also. Very happy and will use again.

Highly recommended! Professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and knows windows! We have a heritage listed house with a number of windows that needed repairs and tweaking. He meticulously worked on them all to have them functioning smoothly, glass replaced, relocked, and tidies up afterwards. His rates are very reasonable, if anything they were half the cost of others quotes. (But NOT half the quality!) And he answers promptly. The other websites certainly look much more glamorous, but rather than speaking to a booking receptionist (assuming they return your calls or emails) you deal directly with the craftsman himself. I don’t usually leave feedback, but I can totally recommend Darren’s workmanship and reliability!

Darren totally refurbished two of my sash windows this week. They now work like a dream for the first time in twenty years. I will certainly be having him back to do more when needed. I highly recommend him. Please do not hesitate to call him if you want the best!
