About Us

Hi, my name is Toby and I am the director of Militao Carpentry Limited. I started the company in 2011 and have developed it from working solo to the company it is today. I knew from an early age that I wanted to pursue a career in carpentry and to start my own business. I have worked for various joinery companies in the past and also shopfitting Companies. When I’m not working, I enjoy cycling and going to the south coast to paddleboard.

Let me tell you a bit about my company and the carpentry work that we do…

Carpentry is a career that I always knew that I wanted to pursue, from a very early age as I always enjoyed making things out of wood. So, when I finished school, I went to college and gained City & Guilds Foundation Construction Award Carpentry and City & Guilds Intermediate Construction Award – Site Carpentry.

When I started out in the carpentry business in 2011, I was mainly working by myself. However, in 2019, we rebranded the business from T Militao Carpentry to Militao Carpentry Limited and took on various staff members. We now have two carpenters today and also two decorators. We strive ourselves to always put the customer first and want to give the best experience possible. We are an extremely efficient business in terms of lead times and a quick turnaround.

I also provide thorough training for our staff, where I enjoy watching my team develop, so they’re trained to the highest standard possible.

We specialise in Bespoke wardrobes, cabinets, bookcases, Kitchens, along with the many general aspects of carpentry.

We are also able to offer our customers a fully finished product in the colour/stain/finish of their own choice creating an in-house service from start to finish. We cover a large area with offices in Surrey, London and Sussex.

I do believe that if you are to make something you should make sure you make it with the best quality wood and to think carefully about what you want and then it will last a lifetime.

Toby did a top job, replacing all our bedroom doors. We're very pleased with the doors and the quality of the work is excellent. We will definitely use Militao again when we need bespoke carpentry completed.

Toby designed and fitted some beautiful cupboards for us. We Have been using them for 6 months now, can tell the quality is good- absolutely no problems. Brilliant communication and also allowed us to change the design (from shaker style to a more traditional finish) at last minute which didn’t affect the final quote.

Toby and his team created a beautiful built in book case around my fireplace, as well as creating a book case that turns into a secret under stairs door. Technically challenging but well executed, Toby delivered yet another well crafted piece of furniture. There were no issues returning to make a few tweeks to the work several months later. Would highly recommend Toby.

Toby not only installed but designed the wardrobes 5 in total in our main bedroom. 2 concealed an old fireplace, one was massive (80x80cm), a two formed a walk-in wardrobe with automatic lights, he then built 2 bedside cabinets to our exact specification (185cm apart) to fit our super king sized bed, together with panelling behind it! Looks magnificent!

Toby made and refitted new cupboards on our kitchen doors as well as added some kitchen shelves. I could not be more happy with the outcome. Toby was professional, on time, courteous and most importantly, the work was of excellent quality. I would not hesitate to recommend Toby and Militao Carpentry.
