Martin installed two cabinets in our living room alcoves. Easy to communicate with, smooth installation over 2 days, and the finished result looks great. Happy customer.

We were looking to find someone to build a bespoke Media unit and an Office unit for two separate rooms and found Martin via his web-site. The resulting builds are excellent and we get "wows" from everyone that sees them.We did make enquires with others in the market place, but we are glad that we found Martin as he and his company have been very professional from the start. Martin helped with design options including helping with colour. His manner of approach is gentle, yet clear.

We very much enjoyed working with Martin on a large bookcase/cupboard/wardrobe unit for our bedroom. We were looking for a piece to match our mid-century rosewood bed, so it was necessary to have a bespoke piece made.We chose to work with Martin on the project for several reasons: unlike other carpenters we spoke with, he did not charge us for creating sketches for the project, based on the ideas we discussed; he was very personable; and he seemed very knowledgeable about his craft.Martin did an excellent job of matching the style, colour and finish of our bed; the finished product was exactly what we had hoped for and the quality is top-notch.He also was excellent in keeping in touch throughout the project with updates (including photos of the work-in-progress) and questions & concerns. He met his deadlines and finished the project in the agreed-upon time frame.We would recommend Martin for those looking for a high-quality product and thoughtful, honest service and look forward to working with him again in the future.

After spending alot of time trying to find someone locally to build my bedroom furniture and failing i rang Martin Howlett furnature even though Martin was 100+ miles away. Martin was spot on with time keeping his planning and drawings we detailed and what i wanted, he kept me upto date on progress and ideas that may improve my overall outcome. Excellent workmanship very clean and tidy and v resonably priced. So pleased i used MHF and would recommend to anyone. Martin will be back to do the Kitchen for sure. Dont bother with Sharps or anyone else.

Martin was good to work with, very personable, easy to discuss options with, clearly enthused with his work, and an excellent craftsman. Martin designed and built a living room cupboard and shelving unit for us. The work was completed on time, with an excellent design, fit and finish. We would recommend Martin.

We really enjoyed working with Martin. He produced a fantastic free standing glazed cupboard for us which has a great finish and is beautifully made. Martin takes a lot of care in the details and was a pleasure to collaborate with. He communicated well with us and made sure everything was as we wanted it along the way. We would recommend him to anyone and have now asked him to work on another project for us. He is a super craftsman.

We were originally referred to Martin's site through a couple of recommendations; the notion of 'cable management' really appealed! Needless to say, we weren't disappointed - both in term of the quality of his work and the professionalism of his service. We would wholeheartedly recommend him!

We are thrilled with the tv cabinet Martin has made for us. He was a pleasure to work with and nothing was too much trouble. We have the perfect cabinet for our needs. His craftsmanship is amazing and the quality of his work superb.

Martin is both a highly skilled craftsman & great business partner. He was able to take my idea and turn around CAD drawings in 24 hours. Once we had agreed on the final design, I was in receipt of the furniture within 3 weeks. Postage was a dream and I am delighted with the end product. So happy in fact that I just placed another order. Highly recommended A++

We are absolutely delighted with the large book-case/cupboard unit that Martin has built for us. His workmanship and eye to detail are absolutely first class, and his courtesy and patience in accommodating our frequent changes of mind made dealing with him a real pleasure. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to future clients.
