What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Joinery and building work in Sunderland is remembered above all for the finish achieved, with clients repeatedly turning to the same firm for later projects. Accounts describe sash window replacement, bespoke cupboards, double glazed French doors and a sapele wooden window, all made by hand and suited to older properties, including a Victorian house where a thick retaining wall and chimney breast were taken out to connect the kitchen with the morning room.

Being kept informed throughout is a theme that recurs, whether the task is small or a bay window completed before winter after a previous joinery firm had pulled out. Tidiness once the work is done earns consistent mention, as do the skill and advice linked to Jim and John, who are credited with going further than expected when time was short and with giving modest jobs the same attention as large ones. Pricing is described as fair, and the approach to business as genuine and trustworthy. Further commissions, among them a new staircase and additional window work, reflect the confidence clients place in the team.

Fitted a sapele wooden window. Excellent joinery and clean-up. Top craftsmen. Have asked for further window work for 2025.

Marley Building and Joinery have just been to do a small job for me. They are the very essence of genuine and honest professionals who have carried out the work with great skill and excellent workmanship, and thoroughly with care. I've been bowled over how good they are. I'm so pleased and I highly recommend them.

Marley Building and Joinery were recommended by another local business and they have been a saviour after we were unfortunately let down by another joinery firm. Jim, John and the team went the extra mile for us to get our bay window completely finished ahead of the winter. They kept us posted through out. Cannot recommend highly enough. The quality and standard of work is superb! Only wish we had gone to them first….!

With pressure on time, the lads at Marley pulled out all of the stops to design and make our brand new stairs for our old house. Top quality and putting the customer first. Thanks gents

EXCELLENT COMPANY; HIGHEST LEVELS OF EXPERTISE; TOTALLY PROFESSIONAL AND TRUSTWORTHY. 100%+ RECOMMEND THEM. Eventually decided to take the plunge to knock down the 1 metre thick retaining wall and chimney breast between the kitchen and morning room in our Victorian house. Due to several excellent renovations over the years by Marley Building & Joinery, they were the only company we wanted to do the work. We were dreading the inevitable ‘muck, mess and disruption’ stage but this was kept to a minimum indeed the whole process was managed efficiently and effectively by John, Rob, Jordan and Jim. Communication between Marley B&J, the kitchen designer/Mowlem & Co.,Trades and us was the key to a successful project. Crucially the company coordinated everything and took every care to ensure no damage occurred. Every last detail was checked and double checked to eliminate any costly errors. They even: invented a method to secure the panels in place when laying the oak herringbone floor; designed and made bespoke glass widened wooden doors and large window; devised the least disruptive way to literally ‘slot’ the 5 RSJ steels in to support the roof. We experienced no stress and any problem was met with ‘don’t worry, we will take care of it’ and they did! including any later small snagging issues. I can’t praise the team highly enough for their whole demeanour, excellent skill levels and total professionalism… AND they are a damn fine bunch of guys to boot!

Excellent workmanship and service. Have had numerous jobs done by Marleys - sash window replacement, cupboards, double glazed French doors, all made by hand. Sensitive to period properties. Highly recommended.
