We’ve had Mark do a number of jobs for us. An outside office, our kitchen and our en-suite.

He has always done a fantastic job and is very professional, guides you through the whole process and manages the suppliers very well.

We will continue to use his company for other work.

I felt very lucky to find MDJ after many poor experiences prior with people not turning up and poor service.

Mark looks after our rental properties carrying out all aspects of work including fitting new kitchens and bathrooms new fencing and general maintenance.
He has also completed a conversion to our garage making it a one bedroom apartment for my son, he has fitted a disability shower to my 93 year old stepfathers property as well as ramps inside and out this has really improved his quality of life.
I have found Mark to be very professional and controls all aspects of the work, arranging other trades and seeing the jobs to completion. Mark is obviously a Carpenter by trade as his skill set is very high level.
As a family we have had No issues over the 5 years we have known Mark.
I would thoroughly recommend using MDJ Carpentry & Building

I am unable to set several dates below as mark has completed multiple jobs over 5 years

When we moved in to our house in August 2025, the house needed complete renovation. We were lucky enough to have Mark recommended to us by a new neighbour. On meeting Mark for the first time, we were impressed by his ‘can do attitude’ and his ideas on how best to achieve our goals.
Mark has been working at our house since October 2025 and is now finishing in July 2026. In that time, floors have been levelled, boiler moved, improvements to existing extension, new ceilings, extensive plastering, new upstairs and downstairs bathrooms, windows moved, internal wall removed, new roof to extension – with larger rooflight, soil stack and other drainage moved, new kitchen installed after levelling walls, built in wardrobes and cupboard, new shelving, new flooring, fencing, replaced patio on two levels and created a third patio. Mark’s communications and organisation skills are absolutely exceptional. Mark always checked with us to ensure we were happy with the works progress and always consulted and advised us if any issues arose. Mark project managed the whole process and organised all trades including plasterer, electrician, heating engineers, window fitters, flooring trades, kitchen suppliers and six skips.
Throughout the works, we were living in the house but Mark’s organisation and communication skills meant any inconvenience was kept to a minimum. Mark worked exclusively for us during the whole period of the works, not disappearing like other builders we have experienced. Mark was prompt every day and always informed us if he had to go off for further supplies etc.
If Mark is available, I urge you to employ him, you will not find better.

Mark worked on my bungalow recently. I would not employ his services again. He does have a good set of tradespeople to call upon, but unfortunately one of his plasterers didnt do a good job at all resulting in me having to put this right and some of the electric sockets weren't put in straight and one didn't have the right box on my wall for a 3 way switch. Mark lacks communication and project management skills unfortunately which let him down and resulted in me ceasing work with him on my project as his communication style lacks respect for the customer and isn't professional. Mark is now very disgruntled that I challenged paying him £700 for plastering works not finished, and he has now submitted a CCJ against me for £2,300. So beware of using this business.

Even though you lost the case in court you have still kept the review up I have now handed this to my lawyers who will be seeking damages on my behalf it’s been nearly 2 years and the damage it has coursed to my business is irreparable this is going to cost you a lot of money on top of the £2500 it has already cost you because you won’t admit you were wrong .

Mark, the only reason I paid was because I had to as I missed the court date due to loss of family member and my health. Ive not had a legal request to take down my review. I had decided not to resubmit my claim as I was advised to, I still have all the evidence so I can easily prove your claims were unsubstantiated, if thats what you want to do go ahead!. I just put this sorry experience out of my mind as life is too short and wrote the money off! Good Luck!

He didnt win in court, I missed the date due to family bereavement, and court made a decision in absence of my evidence. Bailiffs told me I could resubmit my claim and evidence

Your so called evidence which you did not submit not on one opportunity but twice one on my claim and twice on your separate counter claim, can not be used on my new claim for defamation of character and damage to my business with financial loses for your post you put up 2 years ago which you omitted liability for by paying me in full . If you feel that I was in the wrong then you should of submitted your evidence and turned up in court and at no point did you contact the court to tell them about your circumstances why you could not submit your evidence or appear in court neither did you mention anything with in the mediation meeting

Oh yes I can Mark! I've sought advice. Plus for some reason the Court were sending communications to my old address, which will also stand up in Court to support me.
This is all on you that you decided to air your dirty laundry on here, not me!
I think your behaviour on here shows more about your integrity not mine!

The reasons my review isnt classed as defamatory is:
1. My review is an honest account of my experience and the factual statements are true (and can be supported). The truth is my defence.

2. Primarily my review is about the work of people he employed on my job, so therefore is not about his work.

3. My statement "Mark lacks communication and project management skills..." – This is recognisable as my opinion based on my experience, for which I have evidence of unprofessional conduct, which Mark himself messaged me stating this fact.

Hi Isaac yes the work is very satisfying I have great reviews and repeating clients one bad review can be enough to course a lot of damage especially when the client lost in court

Hi Lucy I am the director of MDJ Carpentry & building , in response to the negative review left by Claire Barron I took her to the claims court and won she could produce any evidence towards her claims so the court through her claim out and awarded it to me of £2500 plus Baliffs fees of 1100 to collect the money she was very abusive and refuse to my invoice despite saying she was happy with our work which I have text messages to prove that .

Mark was the abusive one, I have a whatsapp voice note to prove it. I have all the evidence, but as I missed the court date due to loss of family member and my health. The bailiffs informed me I had to pay and resubmit my claim against Mark.
