Old School Carpentry

Darren did a great job on my broken sash window. Communicated well, turned up on time and fixed the window while I went to work. It even opens from both top and bottom now, which it never did before. Very pleased with the job and comparative price.

A few Weeks ago I called Darren after seeing his web page .. He was very professional in his discussions with me and made a time to do the repairs .. He was bang on time early in the morning even though he had to travel across town. His work was methodical and precise and nothing was an issue.. This guy is a old school tradesman - not seen very often in the industry .. I thoroughly recommend his services, pay that little be extra and get the best there is..Thanks for your help DarrenBP

Darren totally refurbished two of my sash windows this week. They now work like a dream for the first time in twenty years. I will certainly be having him back to do more when needed. I highly recommend him. Please do not hesitate to call him if you want the best!

The week before our house was due to go on the market, someone doing other repairs accidentally broke a window - revealing rotten wood in the sash window frame. We needed a new window - measured up, built, painted and installed - in a week. Darren was amazingly responsive - replying to panicked smses straight away to assure us he could help, then he stuck to his timeline and came and measured up the next day. The new frame was installed by the end of that week and it looks amazing. We could not be more grateful! Thanks, Darren - love your work!

Thank you Darren for another excellent job repairing my sash windows and draught proofing them. Excellent job and the draught proofing was money well spent not only eliminating rattling but reducing street noise. Darren has repaired close to 20 sash windows in our heritage listed building over the past few years and his workmanship is excellent without one single complaint or problem.VirgilClover

Anyone looking for a carpenter who can repair rotten timber sash windows then look no further, Darren at Old School Carpentry is your man! Darren repaired a badly rotten timber sash window on my 1920s California Bungalow style house rebuilding the window sashes in his workshop from scratch and fitting them perfectly to the existing window as well as replacing all the rotten timber in the external frame. I could not be happier with his work. The window now looks and works better than it ever did. I highly recommend Old School Carpentry. Darren’s craftsmanship and professionalism is outstanding.

Darren was very professional and did a great job with my mum’s sash windows. Definitely would recommend- thanks Darren!

If you want anything done with your windows Darren is the man to see. Refurbished our old difficulty placed windows with speed and precision. Best around, thanks Darren!

Sash window repair - Darren came to look and quote for some window repairs. Turns out it was a much bigger job than I initially thought once her looked. We needed 4 new sashes along with some other work! It took time but they came out beautifully.Daren is friendly, responsive to messages and competitively priced. I fully recommend him and would not hesitate to use him again.

Sash window repairs - Darren from Old School Carpentry is a master craftsman in all respects. His workmanship and his customer service are both outstanding. I can not recommend Darren more highly and will be happily having Darren back to work further on the remaining windows in the house which require a full replacement. Darren expertly returned our double hung sash windows to beautiful working order and installed his draught seal to each. Nothing was straightforward in our heritage house but nothing phased Darren. His prices are also excellent value. The outcome is one very happy customer and home with beautifully restored windows, a lovely breeze (previously none opened nor could open with missing parts) and no breeze at all when the windows are closed. I read his reviews before contacting Darren and am happily adding to his glowing reviews.
