Joinery And Gardens Dunbar

An existing fence which had been damaged by the wind was made stable and a new gate built to fit the opening.
The work was done promptly and to a good standard and we are very pleased with the final result which have now been using for the past 6 months.

Kevin saved what he could of our old deck framework and balustrade and finished the decking to a very high standard. It’s a real pleasure to look at and I’m confident it will last well into the future. The work was completed quickly and efficiently and we would certainly employ him again.

This is the second time we have engaged Kevin to do work for us. He stabilised a fence which had blown over in a storm, hence we had no hesitation in asking him to do the most recent work for us.
In May he build a garden Pergola for us. Space was limited, in an established garden, so we needed to think it through and take advice. Kevin helped us with both, giving open and honest advice on the best way forward and sizes.
We are delighted with the the finished pergola. Beautifully built, with attention to detail, limited collateral damage to the garden. Respected our property, working tidily and clearing up.
We will enjoy using this over the Summer and for the years to come.
Highly recommend.

We were so happy with the quality and professionalism of Kevin's work that we had him back out to do twice as much. He's now done our front and back gardens and we're 100% happy with how everything turned out. Reliable, trustworthy, and top quality job. We have recommended him enthusiastically to everyone we know!

Garden fence
Lovely job, very professional,would highly recommend

We had storm damage to sheds, greenhouse, and a small summerhouse which Kevin managed expertly to refurbish and strengthen. He was a pleasure to have around and is a very skilled craftsman who takes a pride in his work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Kevin transformed my neglected garden into a stunning secluded outdoor space with privacy screens and raised bed areas.
He was helpful from the outset with generating workable ideas and solutions to problematic issues. Kevin is highly skilled and competently completed my garden transformation in a timely manner. He was very respectful from start to finish, always tidied up at the end of each day and nothing was too much bother for him! Overall a genuinely decent guy and an absolute pleasure to have around, I am over the moon with the end result and 100% recommend.

If you are considering any fencing work, I cannot recommend highly enough Kevin at Joinery and Gardens Dunbar
Outstanding communications, very competitive pricing and simply excellent quality of work. This new fence they built for us goes above and beyond what we expected. Kevin is a great guy, hardworking and professional. He dealt with all details including discussing our needs, informing neighbours about potential access or disruption. He calmed any concerns they may have had. The work area was left clean and tidy. Definitely give him a call if you need any work done.

Kevin is very professional, reliable, conscientious and hard working. He did an excellent job on replacing our decking and balustrades. He also started and completed the work on time and on budget despite very poor weather conditions. Kevin has also just completed another job again on time and exactly as required. He is a pleasure to deal with and we would not hesitate to use him again. We would highly recommend Kevin’s services.

Fencing and Pergola repaired.

I have had work done by Kevin on several occasions and have always been happy with the results. He is reliable, conscienscious, and does a great job. I would definitely recommend him.

Have used Joinery and Gardens Dunbar before and was equally happy with the service this time.

Work done by Trader was as described .
Work done as scheduled
Finished job was high quality and good to look at.

We engaged Joinery and Gardens Dubar to refurbish our wooden stairs to the garden, create a decking area and add raised beds and seating.

From the initial contact Kevin has been professional, reliable, knowledgeable and respectful. The project required access and work on neighbours' property. He met with and put our neighbours at ease ensuring any concerns were addressed. The project was complex and Kevin found solutions leading to a detailed plan agreed with everyone concerned.

All work was completed to a high standard, on time and budget. We had some structural issues (outside the scope of this work) regarding the stairs which meant that Kevin could not complete that at the time. He liaised with our structural engineer and will be back to complete works once we resolve those.

Our decking, raised beds and seating are exactly what we asked for and look great. Kevin is most definitely a craftsman and takes pride in his work. His knowledge and expertise are evident in the quality of his work. He is reliable, professional, respectful, a real pleasure to work with and I trust his word and judgement. I have no hesitation in recommending him and am looking forward to having him back with us again soon.

Highly recommend

I have had some joinery work done in the garden on several occasions and I would not hesitate to employ him again.

Kevin has been looking after the gardens at East Linton Surgery for a couple of years now. He is always reliable and professional and keeps everything looking very tidy. Happy to help with anything extra if asked. Would definitely recommend.

Used Kevin for some fencing - gave good advice and was contactable. Job was done when agreed and we are very happy with the result

Several new fences and some fence and gate repairs in a rural hilly setting. Kevin was really good at keeping us up to speed on the work he was planning to do and wherever there were alternatives, came to discuss with us to agree the best option.

Kevin built new decking and a large raised bed for me. He was a pleasure to work with throughout all stages of the project and I’m delighted with the end result. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others

Repair of garden fence.
Kevin has been extremely professional. He was helpful giving us options regarding the repair of our garden fence, provided a prompt quote, arrived on time and worked until the job was complete.
On a personal note, he is a very likeable friendly person and I would have no hesitation in recommending him or employing him again.
Thank you Kevin

Joinery And Gardens Dunbar undertook the removal of a large garden fence and the installation of a new fence for us in Sept 2022. Kevin provided exactly what we required and what he said he would do, on-time and on-budget.
He was also a pleasure to deal with, both in person and during his online communications.
The finished fence is wonderful, we're really pleased and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again or to recommend his company.

Kevin installed a raised decking to the highest of standards very polite and professional and would NOT accept any payment at all until I was completely satisfied with the job . Would highly recommend Kevin and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again fantastic work and great guy .

Kevin carried out the repair of our wooden arch and construction of a new fence both damaged in the recent storms. The work was completed within the time we had discussed and to a high standard. He also cut back a very large bush and cleared all debris. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kevin’s services.

I honestly cannot recommend Kevin highly enough! He is fantastic at what he does; his work is impeccable and he is 100% reliable. He was so helpful, friendly and kind, not to mention very talented, knowledgeable and professional. Kevin will not let you down and he will give you honest and helpful advice on everything. I cannot fault him whatsoever and would highly recommend his services for whatever you need!
We will definitely use Kevin again for any garden and fencing needs in the future. Thank you! A*****

Kevin put in a new garden fence for us. We are delighted with all aspects of the job, great workmanship and customer service. I cannot praise him highly enough.

I needed work done on a trellis in the garden and also a fence. He was totally reliable, kept in touch to let me know when he was going to do the work and did a first rate job.

We had a raised bed which had been installed only about three years ago, but evidently not well done, as it was pushing the garden fence over. Kevin replaced this with two separate, self-standing beds which are both robust and aesthetically pleasing, and righted and reinforced the fence. The work was meticulously planned and executed.

I am very pleased with the new fence that Kevin has put up for me and my neighbour. His work is of a high standard and I would certainly use his services again.

Kevin arrived and worked without a break to complete the job. Very happy with the price and the quality of his work.

Kevin has done work for me before so I didn't hesitate to book him again. He sourced locally grown wood to replace the old raised beds with neat, strong new ones. He took the time to make sure the finished beds were aesthetically pleasing. Kevin turns up on time and works hard all day, even if it is cold and wet which it was for a lot of the week! Thanks again.

Kevin fitted a fence and gate to stop our dog escaping from the garden. The fence and gate are of very high quality and look great. Kevin dropped the materials off himself and worked non stop until the work was completed to a very high standard.
Kevin was very polite and friendly and kept us fully informed on the work that was to be carried out and the timescale . We would not hesitate to contact him again if we needed further work done. We would highly recommend him.

We had a fence repaired quickly and most efficiently by Kevin. It required the support of the fence and addition of 7or 8 new fence posts. The posts are vertical and true, the fence is strong and that side of the garden is reclaimed once again. Thank you Joinery and Gardens Dunbar.

Kevin is friendly, polite and works hard and continuously. He did not use any of the facilities of the house for all the time he was there. I would never attempt any such work myself in the future and simply call Kevin.

I would recommend Kevin without any hesitation.
The main job was to replace the outer and older slats of a double slatted fence. The new ones are higher ; Kevin also removed a small fence down the side of my house replacing it with a higher double slatted fence to hide my bins etc. To complete this he made a new gate with a wee pergola on top.
In addition, Kevin built a raised bed for me with sleepers.
Communication from the initial query through to completion of works was excellent. Kevin is reliable and an extremely hard worker. He starts early and works solidly whatever the weather ! He is a true craftsman, he takes pride in his work. Kevin listens to what you want and if there are ways to be more cost effective, he will advise you but he does not cut corners and he keeps to your requests.
I am delighted with the work and if I could give him a 5 star plus ... I would.

Kevin built our decking and from a rough sketch that we drew and several discussions he designed and built our gazebo. We are absolutely delighted with the end result, It is robust and the workmanship is exceptional. It is even better than we imagined! Kevin is extremely professional, punctual, polite and hard working, he does not stop till the job is done! We would not hesitate to use Kevin again and will definitely be recommending him.

Kevin supplied & fitted fence at side of house, excellent service, really pleased with finished job, would definitely recommend & use his services again in the future.

He did a fantastic job. We are over the moon with it!
Would highly recommend and would always contact Kevin for any future garden work.
Thanks again Kevin.

Kevin provided and installed substantial garden edging to the front of our property which has secured the garden from passing traffic. He also created two excellent access doors to the underside of our home.

He carried out the jobs in a cheerful manner and offered good advice.

His work was reasonably priced and his work ethic is 1st class.

Kevin built us a decked area for our garden log cabin. Great job, very impressed by the job and all his hard work. I would certainly recommend him without hesitation.
Thanks again Kevin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Kevin recently replaced steps on our large area of decking. He did an excellent job and was highly professional in all aspects of the work. He was excellent at communicating with us about times, dates - this was so helpful.

Kevin did work on our fence and built a raised bed with espaliers. He was great to deal with and the work is excellent quality.

Kevin installed a fence and gate across the driveway. He arrived exactly when he said he would and built exactly what I wanted. Will definitely employ Kevin again.

Kevin did a great job repairing my garden fence and gates. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Joinery and Gardens Dunbar.

Absolutely delighted with the work carried out and the quality of the workmanship.

From our first interaction with Kevin, he always turned up when he said he would, listened to our requirements and discussed the project with us. The work started right on schedule and completed to schedule.

The work was of really high quality and the finish excellent. Kevin's approach was really positive throughout and he dealt with an unexpected problem with a great attitude.

We'd highly recommend Kevin and would use him again in an instant.

Kevin did a great job of repairing our timber decking to give it a new lease of life. Very satisfied with his workmanship.

Kevin totally replaced our garden fence. His workmanship is excellent and we are delighted with it.
Right from the first enquiry Kevin was totally professional and extremely helpful and friendly, explaining options and understanding a couple of issues we knew there would be and working with them. On each visit he arrived at exactly the time promised, and on the days where he was working he did so non-stop.
We would have no hesitation in recommending hm to anyone.

Contacted Kevin to replace timber screening, gates, step and a general tidy up of the rather large overgrown terraced garden.
From first point of contact to the last he was prompt, polite, punctual, professional and any other complimentary words beginning with “P”.
Can’t speak highly enough about his work and work ethic.
Genuinely he’s one the good guys and isn’t satisfied until you are - nothings a problem with our Kevin and wouldn’t hesitate to utilise him again.

Kevin has done some fence work for us on two occasions - both times his work was excellent and he is always prompt and professional. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.

Replacing decking and forming patio area. Excellent customer service and workmanship. Also a great guy!

Having used Kevin previously to replace my back garden fence and gate i had no hesitation getting him to quote to replace an outside door at the front of my house, after agreeing a price and start date he arrived on the day and replaced the door to my satisfaction and as with the previous fence did a great job, Kevin works really hard and his work is first class and cleans up after he is finished and i highly recommend him and his work
James Marshall

We needed a large, tricky and awkward outside gate to be built and fitted. We contacted Kevin and arranged a visit - he assessed the problem, suggested the way to design the gate to work for us, and sent us a quote. He arrived as arranged, and built and hung the gate in good time. his invoice was as agreed, and we are very happy with his work, very professional and efficient, and he's a good cheerful worker! will certainly recommend and use again.

Got large flower/planter boxes installed across our front garden and fenceline, with partial fence replacement and gate relocation. All done promptly, quickly, and very high qualty work. No mess or fuss, extremely friendly and professional. Absolutely recommend and will use again!

At the rear of our property we have had the garden raised & levelled, decking installed, synthetic grass laid - all wheelchair accessible, raised planter, really pleased with edging.
After a while we started work on the front of the house and asked Kevin to build a bespoke 2 tier planter along the entire side of our garden fence;he suggested a couple of changes which made it even better. we also had a ranch fence built around our garden, which is slightly curved - didn't hold out much hope for the shape but the wood has curved beautifully - Kevin even put a kickplate along the bottom, finishing off the look completely.
Kevin is always on time, nice & early for us which is what we required - very polite, conscientious and friendly - gets the job done without too much fuss, in a reasonable time and great value for money - always pleased to listen, suggest alternatives that might improve and even make suggestions that ultimately make it cheaper for the client.

Top top service. Two garden fences to replace and a new external door to be fitted. Immediate competitive quote. Work started exactly on schedule and we are over the moon with the standard of work. The difference is startling. Kevin works non stop and is a credit for his work ethic. Can’t speak highly enough of him. I have added photos of the job done showing finished panels compared with old fencing.

Kevin built a new fence for us, which we are very pleased with. Kevin is just great, he turns up when agreed, does a fantastic job and is an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Kevin fixed our wobbly fence following recent high winds. Did a great job to a very high standard, very professional, a pleasure to deal with. Fixed in a couple of hours and would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Kevin gave us a favourable quote for new fencing and to sort another fence. Kevin turned up as promised, kept us informed of what he was doing. This was at the start of lockdown and Kevin stuck to the government guidelines, not even taking a hot drink when offered. Excellent work and we are very pleased with the finished result.

Contacted Kevin regarding the the removal 13 Conifer trees and old fence and replace with new fence and gate, he came measured up and told me what the job entailed and when he would be available to start and how long it would take.
Kevin is a hard working guy and completed the job in 4 days, he built the fence how we wanted and we are very pleased with it, he also had to get extra timber to complete the work as we wanted the fence panels close fit and did not charge for this.
We would highly recommend Kevin and will use him again.

We had storm damage to our fence. Kevin responded to our phone message quickly and following a visit provided a quote the same day and proposed date for the work to be completed. On the day Kevin carried out the repairs to a high standard and was very tidy throughout the works. Kevin kept us informed throughout the whole process. We would recommend and use Kevin for any further garden/joinery work.

I engaged Kevin on two occasions,one ,to construct a house name board cemented into a banking,and,on another to remove some lawn to increase parking facilities.
This entailed new wood strips and a considerable gravel upgrade.
Kevin was punctual,polite,efficient,and very hard working,and I would have no hesitation reccomending his firm.

Kevin upgraded our external wooden stairs, after I fell through a rotten old tread. He made the process very easy and I'm really happy with the finished result. From the moment he came round to look at what needed to be done, Kevin did exactly what he said he'd do when he said he'd do it and he went out of his way to fit in with our routine. I can definitely recommend Kevin's work and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.

Fabulous job, Kevin did not disappoint! He made a boundary fence around the front of our garden, laid membrane and finished with beach pebbles. What a difference this has made, delighted with it. Kevin was very professional in his approach, kept in touch, started and finished on time and very tidy. I would use Kevin again and highly recommend him.

We can't praise Kevin highly enough. Kevin was very professional from the first day he came round to quote for the job. We wanted some decking, fence with gate done. Kevin was very knowledgeable and gave us good advice on how the decking would look. We feel that Kevin went above and beyond with his help to solve a problem we had with a new shed (supplied from elsewhere). Would have no hesitation in recommending or using Kevin again.

Kevin extended our decking and put in railway sleepers with a borderline of chips and soil ready for us to plant. As well as doing an incredible job, he was very professional from start to finish- quotes came back promptly and turned up when he said he would and worked extremely hard to get the job done. I could not recommend Kevin enough. Fantastic work and an absolute gentleman.

Kevin renewed and extended our decking area. He was really helpful, quick, tidy and very efficient. We are really pleased with the end result and he has created a lovely area for us to sit out in. Definitely recommend him and will be using him again.

We basically wanted to get some raised beds, a raised border along with some espalier-tree supports fitted to the garden of our new-build home. After getting a couple of quotes for landscaping the back garden, which were too expensive, we were recommended to try Kevin. So glad we did! Great service right from the start. Kevin turned up to provide initial and revised quotes exactly when he said he would, and quickly provided competitive quotes. He helped with formulating ideas, without being 'pushy'. When the work started, he was always punctual and completed the job well within the expected timeframe. The quality of his workmanship is exceptional and we've already received comments to that effect. We also engaged Kevin's associate, Ben to undertake paving, including a base for a greenhouse, and were very happy with the quality of this work. Highly recommended!

I can't recommend Kevin highly enough. He has done work in our garden - fencing and laying slabs. We were very happy with everything from start to finish. Kevin is very knowledgable about his work and offers sound advice whilst also giving us value for money. He demonstrates a strong work ethic by being reliable, punctual and courteous. That, and with his work being of such a high standard, means that we will continue to ask him to do work for us in the future.

I needed a large fence put up and was very pleased with the professional response. He was completely reliable, turned up when he said he would,
was pleasant and had a good sense of humour which put me at ease.
I am absolutely delighted at the result and can recommend him.

Job- Additional Decking. From first contact to job completion, very satisfied. Communication great, very reliable and prompt. We wanted some additional decking to add to existing decking. We were going on Holiday so Kevin came round to discuss the job beforehand. Within our discussion, Kevin offered alternative options which were very helpful in making our final choice (saved us on costs). On our return from holiday the fitted Decking was excellent, No mess and ready to enjoy.

Kevin was brilliant and we would definitely use his services again. We got some decking put down, chips changed and a wee bit of landscaping. He did the whole job himself in 2 days! He was really nice and fixed snagging and mistakes that had been left by a less reliable carpenter. We only had a rough idea of what we wanted and due to his knowledge/expertise he was able to suggest better ideas and they’ve turned out great. Thanks Kevin!

I contacted 4 companies including JAG. The first one did not return my call. The second made an appointment and was a no show. The third showed up but never submitted a quote. Then Kevin arrived a breath of fresh air in comparison. He appeared very knowledgeable , helpful and professional.
As other reviewers have remarked he kept me appraised of the work as he went along and made great suggestions which saved me some money.
In fact so happy were we with Kevin and his work we went to America on holiday and left him to it. I was not disappointed on my return and am positively delighted with my garden upgrade project. Kevin will definitely be back as he was an absolute pleasure to deal with and a very skilled professional with a great can do attitude.

Had artificial grass laid in our garden by Kevin, looks amazing. Kevin was very professional, and approachable. Always in contact up until the day the work was due to start. Would not think twice to recommend him and I will be contacting him again shortly for other work we require to be completed in our garden.

fantastic job just finished laying artificial lawn at the front of the house, would definitely recommend Kevin, he is reliable, hard working and left no mess - looks great

We have employed Kevin on several occasions for both joinery and Garden work. We found him to be reliable, courteous and true to his word. He turned up when he said he would and carried out the work in a professional and pleasant manner - we would highly recommend Kevin.

Recently had my garden fence repaired and I am very pleased with the work that Kevin did. Very professional and would highly recommend and would use him again.

Kevin constructed a ranch fence along the border to the adjoining property, and a gated fence to the path leading down the side of our property. Really happy with the results. Kevin himself was really pleasant and courteous, would definitely use again and recommend.

Kevin is very friendly and professional at his work. Will definitely use again and will highly recommend to friends and family

We were looking for someone to replace our decking, repair a fence and to make some planters for us. We contacted Kevin as he is a local tradesman, and we were very pleased we did. He discussed everything with us beforehand, produced detailed estimates and invoices, arrived when he said he would, and carried out the work to our complete satisfaction, as well as giving us excellent advice. We have no hesitation in recommending him.

Kevin is an excellent gardener and joiner. He has done a number of projects for me within my home and in my garden. Each time he has charged a fair price and been entirely professional. His work is of the highest standard and I could not recommend him highly enough. As a single female, I'm sometimes a wee bit reticent about engaging tradesfolk. It is always a tremendous peace of mind when you know you can trust the integrity of someone who you ask to work in and around your home. I have recommended Kevin to friends who were equally pleased with the quality of his work.

Very pleased with the work done in the garden, done well for a reasonable price. Also happy with small jobs carried out and would definitely use again and recommend.

Kevin is very reliable and his work is excellent.Will use him again.

This is the third time we have used this business and each time we have been very satisiffied with work done, helpfulness of Kevin and suggestions to improve upon what we wanted, definitely recommend.

I have used Kevin both for joinery and garden work and first class work in both departments. Everything about his manner and work is great, gets on with job and never stops until time to go home

Garden fence and turf laid and well done, good communications and did job when he said he would, I would use again.

Kevin built us a carport. We were delighted with the standard of his work and he was quick and efficient. Would recommend him to anyone. Thanks, Kevin!

Have used Kevin's services now on several occasions . Always professional , liaises well , turns up when arranged . Neat tidy and respectful of surroundings and a very competent craftsman .

Joinery and Gardens Dunbar came highly recommended to me and the service provided did not disappoint. The work carried out was professionally done and to a high standard. Communications were easy and the response time was very fast. Kevin, who carried out the work, was extremely pleasant and helpful and I felt I could trust him to carry out the work in my absence. I felt confident in his knowledge and ability to undertake the work and will be using his services in future.

Kevin provides a professional and efficient service, while being both friendly and approachable.

Kevin carried out two jobs of me. One to replace decking (which had rotted) the other to provide gated access at the side of the house. Kevin surveyed both jobs and we agreed upon the work to be carried out. He them submitted a written estimate for the work. Following my acceptance of the price we agreed a date for it to start. The work was carried on time and to my satisfaction.

Kevin works very efficiently and the work area was tidied upon completion.

I have no hesitation in recommending Kevin as a trusted trader.

I had great service from Kevin - he did a great job fixing the roof of a large shed, putting up a log store and repairing a garden gate. I would not hesitate to recommend this business.

I called Joinery and Gardens Dunbar to get a quote to replace a fence and gate. I was told that I didn't need to go that far and that there were repairs and modifications that would be as good and much cheaper. The repairs and modifications were carried out with no fuss and lots of skill and the results were excellent. Kevin was friendly and cheerful and his work has stood the test of time - several years down the line and everything is still secure. Very pleasing and I have no hesitation in recommending the service.

Kevin has completed two excellent jobs for me and although in one job I received a slightly cheaper quote I felt Kevin was the better tradesman. From start to finish Kevin did a first class job with excellent communication throughout. At all points he kept the work tidy and showed respect for my property. Kevin is a lovely, pleasant highly skilled guy and I would recommebd him without hesitation. He’s coming back to do a third job.
