Consumer feedback

Generated from the text of this trader's consumer reviews

Lakes Carpentry & Builders Ltd, led by Bill Lake (with Zane noted across many jobs), comes highly recommended for carpentry and full-project building work—often described as “excellent service from start to finish.” Customers repeatedly praised the smooth coordination of trades, where Bill didn’t just complete the carpentry, but organised electricians, plumbers, plasterers and other specialists to deliver a finished result with “superb attention to detail.”

From bathroom redos “taking it back to bare brick,” to home extensions with steels underground and new foundations, and garage conversions with building control approvals, the team is consistently praised for sticking to the agreed quote and timeline (including reports of “5 days start to finish”) and for clear, regular updates.

What Customers Say

Meticulous workmanship & finish: Reviews highlight “second to none” detail on projects like bathroom refits, flooring, skirting/architraves, and boxing around complex pipework, with Bill described as a perfectionist who “does not cut corners.”
Great project management: Customers value that Bill coordinated every stage—“coordinated the other trades required,” managed steels, foundations and building control, and kept progress on track with frequent communication.
Punctual, tidy and considerate: Many mention punctual arrivals, sites left clean and organised each day, and teams who are “punctual and tidy” and “cleaned up as they went.”
Helpful advice & solutions: Clients praised Bill for practical problem-solving—“found solutions to them all”—and for guiding choices on finishes, colours and fittings.
Reliable value for money: Multiple reviews note work completed “within the quoted price,” with clear breakdowns and delivery “on time and on budget.”
