March 2010

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

December 2009

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. tiling, plastering and electrics as well as joinery, so you only deal with one person

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.

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.
