I have had a fitted wardrobe made. The team responded to my preferences with a design based on existing joinery, making the doors using as much wood as feasible alongside the ply, and it was all painted in the workshop and/or finished at my home with a colour I chose . I am very happy with the fantastic quality of the finished cupboard.

Lovely people. Properly friendly and helpful and a great service.

The Woodchester Cabinet Makers have been extremely helpful and I can highly recommend their services. They are responsive, friendly and very attuned to customer needs and individually tailored designs. A local company that deserves to be supported by its local community for their excellence.

Delighted with our new kitchen - Woodchester are a great team that deliver!!

We had such a brilliant experience with Woodchester. Tim was super helpful in the design process, he understood us and our requirements for our new kitchen. My husband and I have never had a bespoke kitchen made before and we are very grateful for Tim and Lisa's patience with our frequent questions.. they weren't phased at all.We absolutely love our new kitchen, the craftsmanship is of really high quality. It looks beautiful and everything works perfectly!We can't recommend Woodchester highly enough.

12:36 05 Sep 25

Beautifully crafted cabinets, personalised, friendly and professional service, offering expert advice and counsel when needed but following our lead throughout with an exceptional team of tradespeople for plumbing, tiles and electrics.

13:39 21 Jan 25

Tim & Lee designed and installed beautiful carpentry throughout our home, we are so happy with the result and they (and Lisa in their team) have been a pleasure to deal with! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

19:10 21 Sep 24

We wanted to work with a local firm that had the highest standards of bespoke design and workmanship, that would be flexible to our time frames, and was also able to keep up a good dialogue throughout the project. We have been delighted with our experience of working with Woodchester Cabinet Makers from start to finish and our very pleased with our new kitchen.The planning stage with Tim was a lot of fun and enabled our ideas to take shape - thanks Charlie for the visuals! - and decide what was achievable within a relatively small space. His recommendation to go and visit the quartz manufacturer to choose our kitchen surface really helped our choices. Communication with Lisa in the office was first rate throughout. We very much appreciated Lee’s skill in the fitting – nothing is too much trouble and we were able to continue to make small changes as it evolved and took shape.We cannot recommend WCM highly enough – all great people to work with and wanting to ensure we achieved what we were after. Thanks very much!

15:55 05 Aug 24

We are so pleased with our kitchen from Woodchester Cabinet Makers! Right from the start we felt like we were in safe hands. The quality of the kitchen cabinets is excellent and the attention to detail is really impressive -Tim, Lee and Lisa have been lovely to work with and communicated everything to us clearly and professionally. Thank you so much for our beautiful kitchen!

17:25 15 Apr 24

We thought long and hard about which firm to use to renovate our kitchen. Having recently moved into the area, we felt we wanted to work with someone local. We met with several companies, before finally deciding on Woodchester Cabinet Makers, having found them listed in the Artisan Trail brochure. We haven’t regretted our decision once - we are utterly delighted with our new kitchen!! Tim, Lee, Lisa and the team have been absolutely delightful to work withfrom start to finish. Tim made life easy for us and was able to introduce all the necessary trades, whose work on the project he oversaw with something of an iron fist to ensure the project was delivered on time, regardless of the obstacles presented. The quality of work and attention to detail on our kitchen has been excellent and nothing was too much trouble. We are so happy with the final result and would recommend Woodchester Cabinet Makers most highly - Tony and Angela Dunk

08:45 20 Mar 24

As a plumber I have work on various jobs that Woodchester Cabinets Makers have supplied and installed the kitchens. Tim & Lee's team are polite and very professional in what they do. The workmanship on the bespoke kitchens they produce is stunning, thoroughly recommend, quality service.

14:27 05 Dec 23

Excellent workmanship and painstaking attention to detail.************************************************************Six years later they have very promptly and efficiently provided solutions for equipment they originally provided: many kitchen companies don't want to know anything about you after so much time - if they are still in business! We'd use them again without any question.

14:23 24 May 23

Tim, Lee, Lisa, the Charlies and in fact the whole team were absolutely brilliant during our kitchen/bootroom/laundry room designing and installing. Very happy indeed, and highly recommend.

12:03 06 Jan 23

We are truly loving our kitchen and utility from Woodchester Cabinet Makers. Christmas Day was fantastic in our new space. Everything works so well and with 18 guests nobody was under anyone’s feet- including the three people cooking Christmas lunch! The cabinetry and shelves have had so many compliments on the style and workmanship. We are recommending Woodchester Cabinet Makers to all admirers of your work! We are delighted, not only with the appearance of our new spaces but also the quality of craftsmanship and service we have received from start to finish. Tim and Lee have a great team who all work hard to ensure the standards are as high as they are. Thank you- 5 stars!

17:00 16 Nov 22

pure craftmanship with exquisite attention to detail. Bespoke design with solid quality

16:32 16 Nov 22

We are over the moon with our new kitchen from Tim and the team at Woodchester Cabinet Makers. Very professional, excellent craftsmanship, easy to work with, clear communication. We highly recommend it to anyone needing a new kitchen.

14:41 13 Nov 22

We wanted to thank Tim and Lee, and all the team at Woodchester Cabinet Makers. We are absolutely thrilled with our new kitchen: it has brought new life, light and personal flair into our living space which now, at long last, feels very much like our home.Whilst we've had the pleasure of working with WCM eight years ago at our previous house, we were again blown over by the incredibly high level of customer care at each and every step of the journey and the whole team's desire to make everything just perfect for us, with unfaltering attention to every single detail, however minor, and to meeting our very exacting requirements.It was clear we were, once again, engaging with real craftspeople, who proudly create spaces dreams are made of with patience and love for what they do.And what's more, every day of the installation was fun, and we thoroughly enjoyed welcoming everyone into our house. Thank you also for leaving everything clean and tidy for us at the end of each working day.

I had Tim and his team do a complete refurbishment of my kitchen in Nov/Dec 2021. Every aspect of the plan was agreed beforehand and I chose, ironically, 200,000 year old Ukrainian granite from Bristol Stone - a supplier recommended by Tim. It is beautiful and the quality of the work and Tim's cabinetry is immaculate. I can highly recommend them.

16:55 08 Jul 22

We love our bright new kitchen from WCM, such a transformation from the tired, ill-fitting dark kitchen that it replaced. Lee and his team seamlessly co-ordinated plumbers, fitters, electricians and painting (even managing a last-minute reschedule when I tested positive for COVID just as the first crews were knocking at the door). We’ve had lovely comments on the quality of WCM’s work and are thrilled to bits with it all.

09:44 04 Mar 22

I absolutely adore my woodchester kitchen. The company were so good to work with, offering a fantastic bespoke service. The quality of the cabinets is second to none - so thrilled with the craftsmanship, gorgeous solid wood and simple classic design. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience with Tim and the team at Woodchester Cabinet makers. They created us our dream kitchen and helped us Intergrated old pieces of furniture into the space. Their knowledge, design and attention to detail is superb. We couldn’t be happier with our gorgeous kitchen. Thank you. Nothing was too much trouble.

Delighted with our new kitchen island. Tim’s response to our brief was spot on and showed a willingness to be flexible in terms of both timing and cost. The quality of workmanship is exemplary.

18:26 26 Apr 21

We are delighted with the island that you built in our kitchen. You were happy to take on the design work, you matched the colour scheme perfectly and you even worked with the local forge to match the design of the door handles. You referred us to the granite importer, who helped us select our worktop. Tim and Lee were both a pleasure to work with. Thank you very much.

11:21 25 Mar 21

Woodchester Cabinet Makers built a new kitchen for me about fifteen years ago. When I wanted an extra island unit I went straight to them. Still the same high quality and personal attention to detail. I am delighted with my island. Very happy to recommend Tim and the team to anyone.

21:30 10 Feb 21

Brilliant service from Tim, Lisa, Lee and the team! For anybody undertaking a home renovation like us, the kitchen will probably be the single most important thing that you will want to get right. Our experience was excellent, from initial conversation through to design and completion. And the result is awesome, even our builders (who see a lot of new kitchens) were genuinely amazed at how good it looks and the quality of the workmanship.We are so pleased we chose Woodchester and we would highly recommend to others.

12:11 24 Oct 20

Would highly recommend Woodchester Cabinet Makers who provided excellent service from the planning/design stage to completion of our new kitchen. The quality and finish is excellent it is exactly what we wanted and has transformed our our open plan house. A big thank you to Tim, Lee, Lisa and the whole team who were a pleasure to work with.

What a fantastic service this company offers. We wanted a complete new kitchen that also would entail building, electrical and plumbing work so what we were looking for was a company that could provide designs as well as project manage the whole process. Tim, Lee and their team delivered on every front, even down to purchase and delivery of a new cooker and fridge. The access to our house is particularly challenging but the whole team dealt with every obstacle with good humor even down to appeasing a bad tempered Labrador! The best thing I can say to Woodchester Cabinet Makers is...Thank you!

We couldn't be happier with our stunning kitchen. With the help of our interior designer and together with Tim we created the kitchen of our dreams. The project was delayed by Coronavirus restrictions but despite that Lee came to the house prepared to work alone or around our builders, attention to detail was second to none, nothing was too much trouble and it was well worth the wait. The little extras that seemed to be standard to Woodchester made all the difference, from custom made cutlery drawers, beautiful chopping boards, bespoke spice racks and specially designed curved units to fit the space perfectly - what more could we ask for? I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this fabulous company who produce and install such quality handmade, hand painted, bespoke kitchens.

We absolutely love our kitchen, designed and fitted to our demanding schedule by Tim, Lee & their team in time for Christmas 2019 - Lee so dedicated and customer focussed that he worked Christmas Eve to ensure our guests had the real wow factor! Tim worked up designs to make sure our wish list was covered, including wine fridge and larder unit, and Lisa in the office was very helpful with tap/appliance options etc. They also completed our utility, which we are equally as thrilled with! Highly recommend, and will certainly use again on future projects as part of our house rennovation.

09:54 16 Mar 20

Every step from initial discussions, to drawings and then installation was professional and well planned. The workmanship is superb and we now have a beautiful kitchen:) Thank you everyone at Woodchester Cabinets.

14:15 04 Mar 20

Would highly recommend Woodchester Cabinet Makers.Their experience,advice,guidance and attention to detail has resulted in a high quality finished kitchen.It is beautiful and we love it.Thank you to Lee,Lisa,Tim and all the team.

16:08 20 Dec 19

We had a set of shelves and cupboard fitted into our living room. The workmanship is genuinely exceptional and we are absolutely delighted with the product.

16:26 28 Nov 19

We had a very clear vision for our kitchen and Tim, Lee, Lisa and the team have turned it into a reality! Not only does it looks magnificent, but it meets all of our needs on a practical level too. We have one main functioning open plan space so everything had to be integrated into the kitchen area. All of our appliances have been seamlessly concealed, allowing the overall aesthetics to be maintained. After a very stressful extension build, it was a a very welcome relief that the kitchen, from design to fitting, was completely stress free and delivered according to every promised time schedule. We still can’t quite believe it belongs to us! It looks stunning. Many thanks to all at Woodchester Cabinet Makers.

12:36 26 Nov 19

This company is superb. We had a tricky project with one or two challenges along the way and they were helpful, flexible and accurate throughout. They created a beautiful kitchen for us. Would recommend them to anyone.

Very high quality kitchens & workmanship.Have many customers who speak very highly of their Kitchens from Tim & Lee.Competitive pricing & their ready make Shaker range is brilliant! Great customer service!

10:43 03 Jun 19

Really high quality workmanship, excellent attention to detail and a really enjoyable experience! Tim, Lee and Lisa were brilliant throughout. I would highly recommend! We are absolutely delighted with our kitchen!

11:50 27 May 19

I don't think there's any room in my house that hasn't been improved by the different types of cabinet WCM have made for me. They are very attentive to detail, very precise and very keen to listen to unusual ideas that they put into practice beautifully. I can't praise them enough.

I highly recommend Woodchester Cabinet Makers. We love our kitchen. The design and workmanship is outstanding. Tim, Lee, Lisa and the fitting team have provide excellent customer service, throughout the whole process and after installation. The fitting had to be scheduled around builders and Woodchester Cabinet Makers were very flexible when the builders schedule kept changing.

14:28 11 Apr 19

I cannot speak highly enough of the service provided by W.Cabinets. All the staff I came into contact with were helpful, personable and with a meticulous attention to detail in both design and construction. They built a delightful fitment in the annexe of our dining room and even returned some time after the installation to make a minor modification. It was a special pleasure to deal with local , high-quality crafts-people providing an excellent service.

12:35 14 Feb 19

The quality of the workmanship is amazing. Tim, Lisa and Lee gave very good customer service throughout from design to fitting.

18:45 02 Jan 19

High quality bespoke dining room and bedroom furniture produced / fitted by a very friendly team. No significant issues since installation. Very happy.

10:30 07 Dec 18

Excellent service from start to finish nothing was too much trouble.The workmanship is of very high standard absolutely love my kitchen.Will definitely use them again.Would highly recommend this company.

13:39 15 Nov 18

Very professional service. Love our Economy Range kitchen and thanks to Tim, Lee and Lisa for their advice and experience.

11:33 30 Oct 18

Excellent work for us. Will use them again. Very helpful proprietors who talked us through the design possibilities and then executed to a high standard.

13:38 23 Oct 18

Middle to upper end pricing and very good quality & service. End result is gorgeous.We had 3 bids, one with upper end custom factory cabinetry and 2 bespoke locally made. Woodchester was the middle bid but closer to the higher end bid. We could have had a more expensive kitchen, but oiled oak with lots of drawers was sufficient for us. The total cost with appliances was about 10% more than the factory made quote, a no brainer. We also visited several other factory cabinet shops. And Wren (oh, my, can one get much worse?)Tim drew up custom plans based on our requests with one major revision. He did not push high priced options, but he did offer suggestions, several of which we took. He was conscious of budget and he was flexible regarding appliances (Woodchester supplied some and we bought some of our own).Project schedule and progress was a bow wave of info, top marks on that front...there were no dissappointing surprises. The team worked well with our plumber and electrician, also a good mark.Lee and Simon were very concientious installers. They did lots of patient fitting and cutting to match our lumpy stone and brick work. Nice guys to have around. And they both came up with some lovely extra touches.The kitchen is functional, aesthetically pleasing, and our guests love it.After 8 months a problem showed up in one set of wall cabinets and they sent Lee out to rectify the problem in a day or two...took him less than an hour.I would recommend Woodchester Cabinet Makers for your kitchen cabinet project. Not anywhere near the low price leader, but very good value for the money spent.

17:02 20 Jul 18

Tim and the team have done the most amazing job on our kitchen - very friendly and professional at all times, and accommodated our busy schedule! The craftsmanship is second to none, and is topped of by consistent and informative updates from Lisa at the office. Would highly recommend - second to none!!

09:42 27 Mar 18

Tim Lisa and Lee designed and built a beautiful kitchen for me which transformed my home. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are superb. Installation went very smoothly with everything on schedule and to budget. They were able to bring in all the trades and decorators as well, so that the finish was perfect and I didn't have the stress of putting the whole team together. I am really pleased with the finished result which gets lots of complements and I am currently working with the them on a new kitchen in another property . I thoroughly recommend them.

08:58 20 Feb 18

Tim and Lee run a fantastic business, professional and the highest quality workmanship, we are so delighted with our new kitchen and will certainly be asking them to fit out our en-suite and master bedroom.Great work chaps and look forward to seeing you soon.

09:08 16 Feb 18

We are delighted with the kitchen Woodchester Cabinet Makers built for us, it is well planned, functional and beautiful. Tim gave us an input in the design whilst also giving professional advice, and the kitchen was fitted immaculately. Everyone we dealt with was highly professional, knowledgable, always reliable and punctual, and made the whole process stress-free. We would recommend them very highly.

19:08 08 Jan 18

We couldn't be more pleased with our new hand made kitchen from Woodchester. From start to finish, they've been a pleasure to deal with. From planning through to execution, they couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. The kitchen itself is beautifully made and exactly what we wanted. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for that something extra.

I love my kitchen units from Woodchester Cabinet Makers, they fit so well in. They were made exactly how I wanted them. Woodchester did a perfect job, and they have been very good on the follow up as well.

10:33 14 Oct 17

Excellent service and workmanship. This team are perfectionists, nothing is too much trouble, even when you change your mind! The whole team were a pleasure to work with, including Lisa in the office who coordinated everything perfectly and was always there to advise and help. One year on we are still delighted with our kitchen and would recommend this company to everyone, and we do!

09:36 11 Oct 17

An amazing transformation of our kitchen. Artisan crafted kitchen cabinets, great attention to detail. We are so thrilled with the results.

06:13 07 Oct 17

Excellent service from planning to final installation. Nothing was too much trouble, disruption was kept to a minimum, and the final build is “second to none” Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to invest in a bespoke kitchen.

Anne Brooke-Smith

18:10 06 Oct 17

Building our new kitchen was a very good experience with Tim, Lee and Lisa. The design was simplified by having a mock up of our island built which we were able to use and try in different positions. The quality of the final workmanship was excellent and everyone was very helpful and flexible throughout the process.

13:52 06 Oct 17

From the initial discussion to the finished kitchen Tim and Lee and their team were totally professional and good humoured. It was a very pleasant experience without too much disruption and the result is an absolutely stunning kitchen, on budget and on time.

18:06 05 Oct 17

Excellent service: nothing was too much trouble and resulted in an excellent job. (far from being "tea and two sugars" they like darjeeling without milk!

14:03 22 Aug 17

We are absolutely delighted with the result of our New Kitchen and Wardrobe. Exactly my vision. Dealing with Woodchester Cabinet Makers have been an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. Lee, Tim, Lisa, Simon and the rest of the team have been thoroughly professional, and at the same time straight forward and easy to work with throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend.Thank you Catherine and Steve - Sheepscombe

22:33 31 Mar 17

Tim, Lee and Lisa are a fantastic team ....we had a good idea of what we wanted for our farmhouse kitchen and they turned it into a reality. They oversaw all the details, dealt with plumbers, electricians, painters, organised appliances and produced and fitted a beautifully made kitchen...highly reccommended

17:36 01 Jul 16

I needed 3 bespoke cutlery trays which were to be inserted into 3 sideboard drawers. Woodchester Cabinet Makers (WCM) fulfilled my order beautifully: (i) at the planning stage WCM provided initial sketches so that a detailed specifiation could be discussed and agreed (ii) the trays were crafted perfectly in relation to the agreed specification and the work was completed in a timely way: the trays were of excellent quality: robust, well finished and attractive (iii) WCM also provided photographs of the trays when these were made so that further refinements were needed could be incorporated in the final product.Where quality of the finished crafted wood product is the priority and where customer servive is valued, I would recommend this firm most highly.

Woodchester Cabinet Makers have just finished installing our kitchen, we are so impressed with the quality of the finish and installation.The "Team" were extremely helpful from the design stage through to completion.We definitely made the right decision when contracting WCM to install our dream kitchen.A big THANKYOU from us all.

10:59 09 Apr 14

We did a lot of research when we knew we were going to need a new kitchen for our oak extension to our cottage. From the first call I made, we were invited to their workshop and showroom to see how well made the cupboards / furniture are. Tim Buckingham took us through the process, costs and timings and offered contacts of previous clients for us to contact for references - which were all good! He listened to what we wanted to achieve and when we decided to use Woodchester, he visited our home, took all the measurements, looked at our architect's plans and then drew up the kitchen design He also arranged for us to visit Bristol Marble & Granite to choose our worktops and gave advice on F&B colours for the cupboards. We particularly wanted Neff appliances which he was able to supply along with a Quooker hot tap.The actual installation was easy and beautifully done by Lea and his colleague who were meticulous, professional and friendly. They worked well with our builders who were still on site.The end result is the most amazing kitchen that is well thought out, works perfectly and looks stunning! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend everyone at Woodchester Cabinet Makers - especially if you want it to be truly hand-made, bespoke and something very special.

We asked Woodchester to design and build a small kitchen for No.1 Gumstool at Tetbury and we were delighted with the result. So much so I recommended them to a friend renovating her beach house in West Sussex - The Angmering on Sea Beach House (theangmeringonseabeachhouses) - who needed a large kitchen, breakfast bar and cupboards. The result is a well built and fitted practical and beautiful kitchen that arrived on time despite the project expanding and changing in the later stages. And it was delivered on a reasonable budget. So thank you Tim and Lee and the whole team, until the next kitchen!! Nigel
