About Max

One carpenter, over 10 years on the tools, working across North West London.

Barraclough Carpentry

You deal with me, start to finish

I am Max Barraclough, and Barraclough Carpentry is my business. The person who answers the phone is the person who comes and measures up, gives you the price and builds the thing. On bigger jobs I bring a small team, and they work to the same standard.

Most of what I do is made-to-measure carpentry: fitted wardrobes, alcove units, shelving, doors and flooring. I have been doing it for over 10 years, almost all of it in North West London and the surrounding areas.

What I care about is straightforward. Answer people quickly. Turn up when I said. Say what will actually work rather than what is easiest to sell. Leave the room clean enough that you can live in it while the job is going on. Read the reviews and you will see those four things come up far more often than the joinery does.

NEEDS MAX / JAY: This page is built only from what is verifiable (his own Google blurb, his reviews, the fact that Luke’s review mentions a team). To make it genuinely good it needs five minutes of Max: where he trained or served his apprenticeship, any qualifications (City & Guilds, NVQ), whether he is a sole trader or a limited company, whether he holds public liability insurance and for how much, and what got him into carpentry. Every one of those is a trust signal his competitors have on their sites and he currently does not.

Thinking about a wardrobe or a bit of joinery?
