Black Tea One Sugar

A true professional and completely personal service, second to none in our experience. We were always being kept up to date with the progress on the project, which was fantastic to see. The end product was excellent, the bespoke level of the bookcase was exceptional, we are delighted with the quality and craftsmanship. Wonderful curved door feature makes the bookcase stand out, the skills Oli has are out of this world. Completely satisfied customer. We could not recommend him and more highly. Thank you

Oli is fantastic to work with and his work is of a really high quality. We knew what we wanted our camper kitchen to look like and Oli turned our ideas into a practical design. It has the professional build and finish that we were looking for but is also a beautiful hand crafted piece of furniture. In fact, it’s too beautiful to spend all day shut inside the boot of our van! Oli brought creative ideas and practical solutions to our project but also listened to our ideas and needs. It felt like a real partnership and was an exciting process to be a part of. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Oli and hope to work with him again in the future.

The boundaries of Oli's creativity and craftmanship really are endless. We needed a partition making for a hatch between our workshop and kitchen space. Something we could open and close when changing the use of the space, but also looks smart and stylish in both finished positions. It was no straight-forward task, and we'd all scratched out heads wondering how it might be best done. But left in Oli's capable hands he crated a beautiful bespoke folding screen which was better than we could have imagined. Incredibly well finished, the screen is not only practical and functional, but also smart and strikingly unique. Couldn't have asked for anything more, thank you Oli!

It was really great to find someone like Oli to help us with a few modifications to our narrowboat. We wanted a new wider front cratch apex, an overhead bedroom cabinet and two new matching drawers for the galley plus a modified drawer for the rear steps.Oli always took the time to check that everything was exactly as we wanted and he was always available to answer our questions or discuss any ideas we had.He is also quick to realise exactly what we wanted and was able to advise on areas where we were unsure, such as suggesting a different design for the cutlery drawer when space was minimal.We were extremely happy with the finished result and would highly recommend Oli both on his attention to detail and his craftsmanship.Many thanks Oli, regards Carol and Martin.

Highly recommended! We're delighted with the work that Ol, from Black Tea One Sugar, did for us in our two retail shops. He turned his hands to everything and was really good at problem solving issues that we had along the way during the shop fit. His level of workmanship has been much admired and commented on by our customers. Both shops are in old properties so there wasn't a straight wall in sight but you'd never know it with the finish that was achieved. Thank you Ol for all your hard work.

As a creative agency, we were looking for a bespoke table for our meeting room. We wanted it to spark conversation and also have a homely feel that fitted with our brand. Oliver came along, full of ideas and inspiration, and turned our dream into a reality. From producing highly accurate CAD drawings through to the final, individual touches, every detail was well thought out and you can really tell his work is a labour of love. The table is a conversation-starter with many people and takes pride of place in our new office.

Oli's craftsmanship is excellent and the end result is just what I was looking for.After penning a project brief, we worked together to finalise the design. Covid introduced some delays but it was well worth the wait.

Oli has done an excellent job realising my vision for a complex shelving unit around my staircase. The end result is exactly how I imagined it, and a little bit more. He worked with me to achieve something that was within my budget without compromising the design. Could recommend more highly. Thanks Oli!

Oli converted our large wooden shed/garage into a beautifully finished garden office. He re-roofed and strengthened the structure, fully insulated it and fitted bi-fold doors. I haven't seen my husband since it was finished!Oli is quiet, thoughtful, responsive, punctual and professional. He did a great job for a very fair price and was proactive in suggesting changes which enabled us to bring our ideas within budget. He is due back in a week or so to complete a second project for us. Would highly recommend.

Oli built some very large fitted wardrobes into a really awkward space. His design for the wardrobes was smart, practical and creative, the workmanship was excellent, attention to detail spot on and the painted finish is perfect. The wardrobes have exceeded my expectations and he's nice to have around too! I'd have no hesitation in recommending Oli's work, he's a great craftsman.
