"We had an excellent experience with Woodpecker Carpentry and Building from start to finish. Nathan and his team took on a big extension and renovation project for us and delivered an incredible finish in good time and on budget. Nathan basically project managed the whole build whilst giving recommendations and design advice along the way. If you want a reliable, friendly, fairly priced and knowledgable builder then look no further. We already have them booked in for our garden room build. Simply brilliant. Thanks Nathan!"

What we build
From a fitted wardrobe to a full extension.
Woodpecker started with carpentry and grew into a full building company. That joinery background shows in the finish on every job, big or small.
-
01
Extensions
Single-storey kitchen extensions, garden rooms and rear additions with bifolds and roof lights, built from the footings up.
-
02
Loft conversions
Dormer lofts that add a bedroom and bathroom without moving house, with storage built into the eaves so no space goes to waste.
-
03
Kitchens & bathrooms
Design and fitting, including the plumbing and electrics, so one team takes the room from stripped out to finished.
-
04
Bespoke carpentry
Fitted wardrobes, built-in storage and feature joinery, made to fit the room rather than the other way round.
-
05
Shop & restaurant fit-outs
Where Woodpecker made its name: counters, panelling, seating and full refurbishments for shops, cafes and restaurants.
Plumbing and electrical work is handled in-house too, from design to completion, for homes and businesses.
Recent work
A few jobs we're proud of.
Homes and commercial spaces across Portsmouth and the south coast. Every photo here is a Woodpecker job.
Who you'll be dealing with
A graphic designer who picked up a saw and never put it down.
Nathan started out in graphic design. In 2001 he swapped it for carpentry and spent the next two decades learning every side of the trade, from roofing to UPVC installs.
Woodpecker began in 2013 with straightforward jobs and moved quickly into shop fitting and restaurant refurbishments, the kind of work where the joinery is on show and has to be right. After Covid the company grew into loft conversions and extensions, and became Woodpecker Carpentry and Build Ltd.
That eye for design never left. It's why clients talk about the ideas as much as the build.
