Duncan McKean of Albert & Edward

After seeing Duncan's transformation of an old vinyl record player on BBC One's 'Money for Nothing' a while back I decided to contact Duncan to see if he could make one for my husband.It was a few weeks before Christmas so I was fully prepared for it not to arrive before then.Duncan went above and beyond and managed to get it delivered to me in time to wrap up for my husband.We were both so impressed and overwhelmed by the sheer beauty and workmanship of the finished light and cannot thank Duncan enough for everything.True to form, my husband has yet to hang it in his 'ManCave' but we both know that once it's hung and lockdown has finished, it will be a real talking point with our guests.We cannot reccommend Duncan highly enough and encourage you to talk to him to discuss your very own bespoke light.

Bought 2x lamps from Albert & Edward at Greenwich market. We have had them for approx 2x years and still love them. High quality of workmanship throughout. Their after sales is also great as they have helped us source replacement bulbs.

What a top man. I took a very unusual item to Duncan and instantly his enthusiasm to turn it into something really special gave me confidence that he would produce a quality product. He listened to what I wanted but gave his professional opinion and honest advice as to what could be done. The end result was everything I wanted it to be. I now own a unique lamp that will become a family heirloom. Thanks Duncan.

I purchased the lamp at Grand Designs a couple of years ago. I do some woodwork so a wood clamp light was a good addition to our living room. Ihave been very pleased with the lamp it’s different but functional.

I am a big fan of Duncan’s work as featured on ‘Money for Nothing’. I asked Duncan to make me a turntable wall light for my brother’s 60 birthday. My brother is a volunteer disc jockey for his local radio station. He is over the moon with his lime green turntable wall light. Duncan sourced all materials, delivered my exact specifications, with great attention to detail. A quality product. A great price. Thanks Duncan.

Bought a lamp as a birthday gift for my husband because I knew he would love it as much as I did! Looks great in our living room and has received many positive comments. I collected in person as am local and could not have asked for more helpful and friendly customer service. Highly recommend and will hopefully buy another piece soon. Photos really do not do it justice at all!

I saw Duncan on tv and enquired about refurbishing our vinyl B&O system that was not working sadly in October 2020 . All was delivered before xmas 2020, my husband was well surprised and happy! So nice to see every morning and nightlights in the evening. Daxa

The level of craftsmanship is unparalleled. All fittings are custom made for each project, fit and finish are fantastic. I have worked with Duncan on many projects, every one has been unique. Every time he has delivered on time, on budget and has blown my mind. A true craftsman.

I've bought several lights over the years from Duncan. He always seems to come up with different and interesting items to convert and has always gone the extra mile to provide any alteration that's requested and even delivered, if in the area. First rate service - that's why I keep coming back.

I have bought two vintage lights from Albert & Edward as presents for my family and was delighted with them. Duncan's knowledge of restoration and upcycling is second to none, but what set's him apart is his people skills - he makes the commissioning process feel like a joint venture rather than a transaction. I can't recommend him highly enough.
