I am happy to recommend Thomas Philpott, both as cabinet maker and person. Thomas has been working on projects for me over several years. His commitment to detail is rare, and demanding work is courteously discharged with minimum disruption to the home. Thomas’ own designs and creation are contemporary Craft pieces, and work as well in a period home as in modern buildings. The price of Thomas’ work is highly competitive, and a bright future is beckoning.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Tom Philpott. Last year he designed, built and installed a complex set of fitted solid wooden cupboards and drawers for me. His attention to detail was meticulous; the quality of his workmanship was second to none and his professionalism exceeded my wildest expectations. The end result was a magnificent piece of quality furniture that not only is extremely functional but outstandingly beautiful.

The entire piece took several days to assemble from units he crafted in his workshop. Tom arrived at eight in the morning and worked until late at night. He was very careful not to inconvenience me in any way and took every care to clean up every last wood-shaving afterwards. The overall cost for such a magnificent piece of furniture was extremely reasonable. This is a very talented young man who has a great future ahead of him as a leading cabinet maker.

We were absolutely delighted with the work that Thomas Philpott did for us. He designed and built furniture that made the most of a very limited space. His attention to detail with everything from the cunning drawers within the split level stairs to mirrors which move the natural light around make for very comfortable living.
Did we spend more than we wanted to spend? Perhaps. Was it worth it? Definitely.
— Mike Benson

We wanted to create a workspace in our house that would be both functional for our homeworking requirements, but also add a desirable permanent study in a classic but contemporary style. Tom understood exactly what we wanted to achieve and worked closely with us over a number of months to refine the design to perfectly fit our needs.

We started with the desk to get an idea of how it would look, before confirming the cupboards and shelving, which only made us impatient to get on with the rest, as the result was stunning. Seeing the final fit and finish of the whole room was fantastic and is easily our favourite room in the house.

If you are looking to create a very high quality fully bespoke piece of furniture, with the freedom to design it to your own specification, we couldn’t recommend Tom highly enough.

Thomas Philpott has a fertile mind, with the experience to overcome the myriad of dimensional problems that are encountered working in old character properties.

He was happy and competent to tackle all aspects of our project from the relatively mundane to intricate, substantial furniture with results that are aesthetically pleasing, practical and will doubtless give us ongoing pleasure.
Many thanks to Tom and the team.
