Featured projects

My lifelong passion for creating with wood was ignited back in the 1980s, while working alongside a master carpenter in a local building company. I love the challenge of turning rough wood into functional pieces of art and take great pleasure from tackling the difficult projects that others avoid.

Customer reviews

“I have always found Richard’s approach to be very professional, of the highest quality and cost effective and have no hesitation in recommending him.”

Ross Brawn, Padstow, Cornwall

Richard Pearce has been exceptional from start to finish, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the work he’s done.

What stands out is Richard's professionalism. He always replies quickly, turns up when he says he will and works with a level of care that’s rare these days. And when he's left, there isn't a spec of dust anywhere!

Ruth, a regular customer in Trevone, Cornwall

Richard designed and built an external storage cupboard and indoor full wall shelving unit for us.

The whole process was seamless: Richard completed most of the construction and prep work off site which made the installations super speedy. We would highly recommend Richard for any bespoke carpentry requirements.
