We first approached SPK Joinery in the second week of January about
making a bespoke TV Cabinet for our bedroom, complete with TV lift. Design,
manufacture and delivery of the completed cabinet took 8 weeks and we were
kept fully informed throughout, what a wonderful friendly service. We are
absolutely thrilled with the quality of the finished product. We wouldn't
hesitate to use SPK Joinery again and will willingly recommend them at every
opportunity.
Many thanks again Mr and Mrs Burt - Lincoln

Hi Steve, Just received the radiator
covers today and they are perfect. Thank you very much for the excellent
job that you have done. We would be happy to recommend you to friends
and family and would be more than willing to give a reference for the
quality and professionalism of your company if you should ever need it.
We hope to use you again as we renovate the remainder of our house.
Thanks again, Rachel and Michael Selman

I contacted SPK Joinery to obtain a
quote for a range of furniture items to
complement the Ruskin fireplace I had previously
purchased from them. Steve
Parkin subsequently came to my home to take a brief, produce some
sketches
of the items to help me visualise how they might look,
and to measure up.
Shortly afterwards I received a set of illustrations, including
dimensions,
and a competitive quote. I placed my order.
The items arrived in a matter of weeks, and I can honestly say they are
beautiful. Perfect in fact. It is clear that each piece has been
handcrafted to the highest standards, with incredible attention to
detail.
Steve Parkin is a modern day genius and I wholly recommend his SPK
Joinery
for high quality bespoke furniture tailored to your precise requirements
and/or specifications.

I decided to work
with Steve after finding the SPK Joinery site on the internet, and even
though I liked what I saw there, I was still somewhat concerned of
ordering such a big piece without prior knowledge. My discussions with
Steve regarding the making of the piece and his guidance in the process
confirmed to me his professionalism and high level of expertise.
The final result is a truly stunning piece of work, fitting with extreme
precision and with a finish of remarkable quality. I have had several
pieces of bespoke furniture made, but this one is in a world of its own.
I would have no hesitation in recommending SPK Joinery.
Congratulations and thank you.

The radiator cover is fantastic. It is
perfect in our hall and was exactly as we expected. Everyone who has
come to our house has commented on the cover and all have thought that
it looks fantastic and the quality speaks for itself!
We have no hesitation in recommending you and your work. If we ever need
a piece of bespoke furniture again we will certainly be contacting you.

I have just taken delivery of my
‘pop up TV/storage cabinet’ and it is just fantastic.
I chatted with Steve over the
phone about my requirements and he interpreted my ideas to
perfection – The result is just magnificent. The finish and
quality of workmanship is top class. I think it is one of the
few painted pieces Steve has produced…….is there no end to your
talent! Thank you again Steve.

I came across SPK
Joinery on the internet as I wanted to find a local craftsman who
could reproduce an art deco inspired fireplace for me. I am very pleased
with how my fire surround has turned out. Steve made it exactly to my
requirements, but was also good in offering some helpful suggestions to
enhance the overall aesthetics. The quality of the craftsmanship is
outstanding. It was made and delivered within a reasonable timescale and
I love it. Thanks Steve.

I'm the very proud owner of a beautiful
oak, inlaid with walnut, TV unit which has become a bit of a party
piece.
Steve is a very talented cabinet maker and dare I say perfectionist! I
thoroughly enjoyed our collaboration.
I was one of those clients who had a very clear design in mind and I
wanted to use a material Steve had not considered before.
Steve was very helpful from the outset with info on how the tv unit
could work for my needs.
Once he had mastered how best to apply the material to the design, he
provided drawings
and double checked how the materials would work in 3D before the final
build.
The nicest part of all is that Steve was as excited as I was about the
cabinet's creation.
I'd insisted on the rather 1950's inspired handles, the walnut on the
cake ;)

Steve has previously
designed, built and fitted a kitchen for
us, and more recently has refurbished a
bathroom with new bespoke cabinets, panelling, new tiles and bathroom
suite. Neither was very easy as existing appliances and
structures needed to be incorporated. I can sincerely recommend Steve
for his hard work and cheerful attitude. In particular he has the
following strengths, which I have found are rather unusual!
1. He works quickly, and keeps to the time estimated even when the work
is not straight forward
2. When there are problems, he doesn't moan or delay - he gets on and
solves them in a practical manner
3. He undertakes plumbing.

Very pleased with the fireplace!. Delivery
was prompt and Steve was extremely helpful explaining how to fit the
fireplace - most useful.
Looking at the catalogue was a potential minefield, but after discussing
the various options with Steve and the configuration of the chimney, the
most suitable fireplace was selected. Very pleased,
and I would certainly recommend.

"As part of our re-decoration to take our early 20th century house to an
"arts & crafts" style we wanted to have the right effect
on some key radiators. The new covers are perfect - they really created
the right finishing touch - service was excellent and the product
perfect - thank you"

Steve manufactured & installed a bespoke wine and fruit bowl cabinet
onto our kitchen wall. It was designed according to our own
requirements. He was extremely good at following even the smallest of
our fickle requests. The cabinet was delivered within a record time
limit and is extremely visually pleasing and technically impeccable. We
would be delighted to recommend him.

Steve recently made and installed some items in our house including
kitchen units, end panels, doors, cupboards, solid wood worktops and
wood flooring. He undertook the plastering, tiling & all of the plumbing
work required.. He also tidied up a lot of work which had been done
badly by previous contractors. We have been very impressed with all
Steve’s work, particularly his ability to work out solutions to some
challenging requests, and to manufacture good quality bespoke work at a
reasonable price. We would not hesitate either to recommend him to
others or to contract him for further work in the future.
