About Us Testimonials

Testimonials

  •  It was a pleasure to work with good craftsmen, who were able to interpret our design and finish the work to a very high standard 

  •  Delighted with the transformation that Brian and his team has made to our Surrey farmhouse at an affordable price 

  •  DCF Ltd produce beautifully crafted work and are always professional and responsive to our client’s requests 

  •  We have recently completed the refurbishment and significant extension of an 18th century cottage in Hampshire. The service received from DCF Ltd from design through to supply and fitting was exceptional and the owner, Brian Purnell, was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. It really is a pleasure to know there are still craftsmen in this country that take such a pride in what they do and are capable of delivering such exceptional craftsmanship 

  •  DCF Ltd’s work has been outstanding, dramatically adding the ‘magic touch’ to make the cellar look authentic. So often when building new houses the joinery work can leave a lot to be desired but Brian’s expertise has helped fool virtually every visitor into believing everything was authentic, even when built next door to period furniture 

  •  DCF Ltd have provided excellent service and quality bespoke furniture for our home. Our oak kitchen was made to exacting standards and attention was give to every detail in keeping with our Grade II listed cottage. We highly recommend DCF Ltd to anyone looking for top quality hand made furniture 

  •  DCF Ltd are aptly named for two reasons - for the sheer quality and historical “feel” of their work – in 2010 an architectural historian visited our house and commented on a staircase made in 2001 saying “pure early 17th century”. Secondly, for their advice, Brian Purnell once telling us not to have a room panelled as it just would not be appropriate, losing a contract for that job, but gaining a very loyal future customer 

  •  DCF Ltd have recently played a crucial part in an exciting project for me at the Royal Air Force Museum, Hendon. This was to re-create the office furniture of Claude Grahame-White, who was a famous aviation pioneer and early aircraft manufacturer. The only reference for the furniture was an original, good quality black and white photo, taken in 1915. Fortunately Brian’s great understanding of furniture and his ability to interpret from the photo, allied with his craftmens’ skills, have resulted in perfect replications that have been utterly convincing to everyone who’s seen them. I have be happy to recommend Brian and DCF to anyone for this kind of work 

  •  Thank you Brian for helping to sell our house. You transformed it with your wonderful staircase. Everyone who has seen it has highly praised your work and none more so than me. I enjoy looking at it every day and hope you can come to our new house to create another masterpiece for us. Wishing you all the best. 

  •  Working with DCF Ltd and Brian was the highlight of my recent renovation project. The service and quality of work was exceptional and of a standard rarely found today. Almost every visitor to my home comments on the beautiful 200 year old doors believing them to be genuine, when of course they were crafted recently by DCF Ltd. I really hope to be able to work with DCF Ltd again and have no hesitation in recommending them.
