“We wanted the highest quality joinery for our London home renovation including a large, modern centre-piece kitchen. Our architect recommended Chilfen and after we saw examples of their work at a grand central London residential property and toured their impressive production facility, we decided to go with them. We had a fixed timetable to meet linked to the end of a rental contract but Chilfen’s detailed project plans and project manager gave us every confidence we would be in on time. And we were. The design process also permitted us clear time windows to add our special requests to the design. Importantly, as we were keen to make the right choice of kitchen cabinetry colour, Chilfen made up various samples for us of the colours we were considering - even using bespoke colours from a boutique colourist / paint creator - and found extra flexibility on the colour choice deadline to give as extra days to sleep on our final choice. My wife and I would highly recommend Chilfen for the quality of their bespoke products and team. We look at and touch their joinery at close range every day and it brings us great joy.”

“We were very pleased with the high quality of Chilfen’s joinery work throughout our house so it was natural to ask them to build our wine cellar. We worked closely with them and our architect to design the wine cellar to our exact specifications. It was very important for us that we can stock single bottles as well as full cases in the cellar. We therefore built the cellar around the required dimensions of bottles and cases, and provided for various sizes to cater for the varying shapes and sizes of bottles and cases depending on the wine’s region of origin. It was also particularly important for us that air conditioning and humidity control equipment was fully integrated into the design and construction of the wine cellar. Chilfen’s attention to detail and quality of work is excellent. They built an entirely tailor designed cellar to our specific needs with the highest quality and standard. We would highly recommend working with them if you are looking for top-end joinery.”

“When Woodpecker source a new supplier, we have extremely strict criteria on how a supplier is measured. Having onboarded Chilfen Joinery as a new supplier, the experience we had with the Chilfen team is described below across each of these criteria:
QUALIT Y– We worked directly with the design teams who helped us achieve required outcome. This included the initial design drawings, the quality of the parts used to achieve requirements, to the production of the products. The overall experience was excellent. Chilfen used their expertise to guide us in making improvements to design. The documentation controls were excellent, and the production teams showed real care during production. A shopfloor reflects the management, and this is no exception at Chilfen. It was the best joinery facility I have ever visited: clean, tidy & organized. ”

Lee Preece, Technical, Quality & Compliance Manager
Woodpecker Flooring

“SERVICE – Chilfen went above and beyond expectations, they even supported a third party who were making another component for the projects.
PEOPLE – From Drawings to Production through to delivery, I could not want for more.
FACILITIES – They have invested heavily in their excellent premises and technology.
COMPETENCIES – They possess all the software, people and experience to deliver any projects.
ABILITY TO REACT – This is where businesses usually fail, but this is not the case with Chilfen. When we had an issue (caused by us), they were on site the same day to diagnose and solve the issue.

The overall experience with Chilfen Joinery has been fantastic and long may it continue. ”

“Chilfen did a wonderful job for Giggy & Bab on the tops and treads for the Hornsey step stool. Steven Wood was very helpful as my initial contact, and then Danny Cockrane and his production team did a superb job on the parts themselves. They took real pride in the job and it shows in the quality and finish, and any problems were overcome with grace and good humour.”

“Working with our own contractors and other trades, Chilfen demonstrated their ability to produce joinery to a very high standard. As with all of our developments quality is paramount along with a flexible approach I feel Chilfen have achieved this.”

“Having known the Chilfen business for many years through our various supply agreements, they were the obvious partner to provide us with the products and services we needed to fit-out our boardroom. They worked with us, understanding our vision, and delivered the finish we required. From the outset through the design process, through manufacture and finally the install, they provided an excellent, quality service.”

“The Chilfen project team exhibited a knowledge that was very important for the process. The time expended on the details of this project were key to ensuring perfect delivery. Once on site they integrated well alongside the construction team and other trades. Working to tight deadlines and within the restrictions of a busy site the team were always polite and approachable and had a positive attitude to dealing with challenges that a busy site brings. Manufacturing was to a high standard we were very pleased with the final result, this has further bolstered our confidence in Chilfen delivering key projects for us in the future.”

“Oakbridge Homes have established an enviable reputation for the design and construction of Bespoke luxury homes.

We have no hesitation in recommending Chilfen for similar projects requiring a balance of high quality at a competitive cost.”

“In a competitive and fast moving industry it is important our suppliers understand our needs and respond accordingly. Sherlock Interiors have found Chilfen Joinery Ltd to be proactive at pre contract stages willing to work with us to offer help and advice to achieve the best results. The quality of both the goods and service is of a high standard and prices competitive.”

Brian Stack, Project Manager

“We have had the pleasure of working with Chilfen Joinery for 25 years now. Throughout that period, they have been responsive to our needs and have always delivered a really high quality product, which has stood the test of time. Our bookshop still features the carpentry from our original fit-out, but since then we have added additional bookcases to blend in, and have introduced new, modern counters, intended to contrast. The range of options for materials and design have been just as hoped for, and the creativity of the team and the craftsmanship of the finish have been exemplary. I would highly recommend them.”
