I had a stair banister installed, previous house owners had removed original and staircase was open to one side. Work was completed within time frame, carried out to a good standard and carpenters were polite, tidy and considerate. I'm very pleased with the work and would gladly recommend to others

I wouldn’t use anyone else for my carpentry now.
Matt helped us when another business let us down terribly.
He stepped in and saved the day.
He was a good price, a true perfectionist and very friendly.
A hard worker that listened to our needs and helped us to make better decisions.
Thank you Matt.
Highly recommended!

We had a poorly constructed roof to an extension provided by another tradesman. This ended up leaking badly and we discovered had been built without proper adherence to product specifications etc.
Century Oak Suffolk removed the old roof and reinstalled a brand new structure and roof covering (from rafters up). This work was carried out fantastically. We quickly realised that the team had our best interests at heart hand, and we had total faith throughout that the job was going to be done well. Which it was. The attention to detail, and clear commitment to making sure everything was done properly shone through. A brilliant experience and we wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anyone (in fact, we have).

Matt and the guys were superb. Every trade from groundwork to roofing took a real pride in their work. The oak work was fantastic, it was really excellent to see the frame take shape and witness the skill and effort to turn it into part of a home. Matt’s organisation of the build was great, excellent communication, generally responded immediately to a WhatsApp question or query from me. I would recommend Century Oak Suffolk without hesitation.

Matt built a two storey extension for us. He also worked on a renovation on the existing property. We would not hesitate to recommend Matt. Both him and his team are extremely professional, polite and very talented and skilled in what they do. The standard of the work completed cannot be faulted. The team were great to work with. The constant communication, Matt's management of all the trades and his excellent daily planning, has made the process as painless as it could be. We will be using them again in the future
