Testimonials
Clive was commissioned to provide and construct a bespoke Oak Staircase. This specific project is part of a complete restoration of an old farm house cottage. The completed staircase provides a central focal point and is both beautiful and functional.
I provided both the initial design of the staircase and the raw material (i.e. English Oak). The conceptual design consists of four short staircases linked by four landings. The project was organic and as work on the staircase progressed; Clive contributed many of his own ideas, based on his wide experience.
Clive’s workmanship is exemplary – despite his initial reservations he persevered with my choice of raw wood and my drawings. He demonstrated great professionalism throughout. His contributions were inspired and the final staircase is magnificent and much admired by all my visitors. Clive is a master of his trade and I am happy to provide him with this testimonial.

The kitchen Clive designed and made for us was outstanding.Truly magnificent workmanship.Our only regret is that we moved house and couldn`t take the kitchen with us! However we are looking forward to employing Clive to make our next kitchen.We also bought our daughter the large shelf unit for her bedroom which she was thrilled about.Luckily we were able to take this with us!Would have no hesitation in recommending Clive. I think you get what you pay for and this may last a lifetime rather than just a few years.

When my wife and I purchased our 300-year old weaver’s cottage, we wanted to ensure that its renovation was in keeping with the appearance and construction of the property. We like the "new meets old" look, so when it came to replacing the kitchen it had to be modern and functional, while still keeping its timeless character and charm. We knew that we didn’t want a mass produced kitchen, which is what we would have got if we'd bought an “off the shelf” kitchen from one of the major retailers.
Clive perfected the layout of the kitchen and style of the doors and fittings. His innovative design solved the problems we had with walls that are out of plumb and floors which are off level. Throughout this process, he was helpful, flexible, always on hand and gave us some honest advice that probably meant we ended up spending less than we could have done!
As a result, we have a unique, quality kitchen crafted with pride that will be a focal point of our home for many years to come.
Following the success of the kitchen, we asked Clive to do additional work for us, including making and fitting banisters, a fitted wardrobe, a bookshelf and laying of an oak floor. All of Clive’s work has exceeded our expectations. The woodwork he created belongs with the cottage – it’s almost like the wood moulds into the rest of the cottage and has always been part of it.
We are delighted with all the projects we have commissioned Love Wood Furniture to design and build and we would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone looking for quality workmanship. A company that does what it says it is going to do and does it well!

"Clive designed, made and installed two beautiful pieces of furniture for us - a large shelving unit for our conservatory and a television cabinet for our sitting room. Clive understood what we wanted and was able to turn our ideas into reality. We were impressed by his craftsmanship and his customer service. I have recommended him to friends."
