Replacement of tired old metal gates at back of surgery with beautiful bespoke wooden gates. Could not be happier with the results. Thoroughly recommend Old Tom’s Workshop. Saving for house gates now!

Gyles has made us 3 beautiful oak cottage style doors, the quality and workmanship is second to none. Absolutely beautiful and we are very happy with his professionalism and service provided from start to finish. Clean and tidy within the property, old house provided Gyles with many obstacles, odd size frames and movement within the property but he worked his magic and the end result is exactly what we requested. Highly recommend

I cannot thank or recommend Gyles highly enough. He is a master craftsman, supportive, kind, thorough and a creator of beautiful work. I came to him with a concept for a piece of custom furniture for my elderly mother and he worked with me patiently to refine the design, suggesting improvements and ideas, explaining design and construction decisions, and going very far out of his way to make the process smooth and pleasant. The chairside set of drawers has pride of place in the sitting-room since Gyles kindly delivered it. Thank you Gyles. Thank you so much.

Delighted with the butcher's block table that we had made to our own specifications. Beautifully made, we were dealt with very courteously by Giles and the table was delivered sooner than we expected. We would highly recommend.

Gyles made a beautiful chopping board from sycamore wood. I gifted it to my partner for Christmas, he was very pleased with it! Dimensions where 50cm x 35cm x 5cm, solidly constructed and beautifully finished and treated, the board also had rubber stoppers at the bottom which is very practical and hygienic! Service was excellent and product even came beautifully wrapped! Would highly recommend Old Toms Workshop

Fantastic craftsmanship, would thoroughly recommend!! Gyles transformed our solid wood kitchen worktops, sanding them back and oiling them. The finish was perfect, we're made up with the results. Thanks so much.

Gyles made and installed two lovely book exchange boxes for our garden at school, one for KS1 and one for KS2. The quality is lovely and they look fab - just need to put the books in and start to use them! Might order another for parents/staff to swap books! Thanks Gyles and Gyles's Dad who also helped to install.
