From Ian, Pen y Graig, Rhondda, 23 Sept 2013

“This is the second time Des has made something for us, 2 years ago he made cabinets for our bathroom which are looking as good today as they were when fitted.

This time we wanted large wardrobes fitted (12 ft x 9 ft) creating space for clothes & storage. Once again Des has delivered a gorgeous & functional piece of furniture, box drawers fit perfectly as do all the panels.

Excellent work for a fair price!”

“I’m happy to highly recommend Mr Des Tamplin of Swallow Furniture who has just built & installed my new kitchen. Despite the layout & design being particularly challenging, Mr Tamplin has made us a beautiful & practical working area. The units are extremely solid & the painted & oiled oak finishes are of the highest quality. I am delighted with the results.

The kitchen was completed within the expected time frame & Mr Tamplin has been courteous & tidy throughout the work.”

"Just a short line to tell you how pleased we are with our new bedroom furniture. I spent weeks, if not months trawling the high street looking for furniture to fit our attic conversion. Even the service provided by made to measure companies was poor, their designs did not make the most of the available space and included many "filler" sections.

You responded promptly .... gave reasonable deadlines and kept to them...but I was most pleased with the actual furniture you designed and made. I like the way that you listened to what I needed from the wardrobe and created a design that made maximum use of the space and complemented the design of freestanding furniture in the rest of the room, and of course it looked beautiful.

My daughter is delighted with her bedroom and any visitors to the house have to hike up to her room to have a look. We are really pleased with the quality and craftsmanship..... I have already passed your number onto other admirers of your work... I can already think of one or two other projects that may require your skills in the future ... we'll be in touch."



From John & Jackie, Rudry, 28 April 2008

"We have used Swallow Furniture on 2 occasions to build and fit bespoke Oak furniture in our cottage, floor units, wall mounted shelf units, fitted wardrobes and a chest of drawers. Swallow had to work with uneven floors and walls and sloping ceilings.

On both occasions Swallow were reliable and provided a professional service from start to finish. The work was carried out on schedule and good care was taken of our property during the installation.

We have been extremely satisfied with the quality of the work and would not hesitate to use Swallow again."
