✨ BATHROOM GRAND REVEAL ✨
Completed by 1st Carpentry
We’re proud to share the finished result of this stunning full bathroom renovation.
This project was designed to create a calm, modern and luxurious space while maximising the layout and natural light from the existing window.
🔨 Work carried out on this project:
• Complete strip out of the old bathroom
• Full preparation and reconfiguration of the space
• Installation of large-format marble-effect wall and floor tiles for a seamless luxury finish
• Freestanding feature bath installed with brushed brass floor-mounted tap
• Walk-in shower enclosure with matching brushed brass frame and fittings
• Wall-hung vanity unit with integrated basin and fluted detail for a modern look
• Wall-mounted brushed brass tap set
• LED backlit mirror for a soft ambient glow
• Heated brushed brass towel radiator
• New sanitary ware installed throughout
• Precision carpentry and finishing details
• Carefully positioned lighting to enhance the space
The combination of natural tones, stone-effect tiling, brushed brass fixtures and warm wood elements creates a timeless bathroom that feels both modern and relaxing.
Every stage of the installation was completed with attention to detail to ensure a clean, precise finish that will stand the test of time.
Another quality transformation completed by 1st Carpentry.

This year has been an incredible one. I’ve been lucky enough to win Carpenter of the Year for the South Coast and then go on to win it nationally, which is something I’m unbelievably proud of.
But none of this would be possible without my customers, followers, and everyone who supports my work. Every job trusted to me, every recommendation, every message and share — it honestly means the world.
I feel truly blessed to do what I love and to be supported by such amazing people. Thank you all for being part of the journey.

National Carpenter of the Year 2025!

Wow! I can honestly say, Wembley Stadium is the last place I ever imagined my work would take me but there I was.

At this year’s Checkatrade Awards, standing alongside some of the best tradespeople in the country, I had the privilege of being named National Carpenter of the Year 2025.

It’s a milestone I’m hugely proud of, not just for me but for the business I’ve built from the ground up.

Awards are great, but the real win is the trust people place in my workmanship. Every customer who lets me into their home, every recommendation passed on, every bit of belief shown along the way.

To my customers, my family, my friends, and everyone who’s backed me through the long days, tight deadlines and tough jobs - thank you. You’ve helped shape this journey more than you know.

Just completed this stunning bathroom for a very happy customer.
Before the bathroom was dark and leaking in multiple areas but I took it back to brick and started all over again!

I’m absolutely over the moon to share that I’ve won Carpenter of the Year south of England 2025 with Checkatrade. 🏆

This recognition means a lot, but it’s not something I could have achieved alone. A massive thank you to all my customers for trusting me with your projects, and to family, friends, and everyone who’s supported me along the way.

Carpentry has always been more than just a job for me, and this award is a reminder of why I love what I do. Here’s to many more years of building, creating, and doing the work I’m passionate about.
