Thank you for your feedback, Pat.
We fully acknowledge that your wardrobe installation in 2023 fell short of the high standards you expected and paid for upfront, and the delays in rectification caused genuine frustration - that responsibility lies with us, and we’re truly sorry for not communicating more openly at the time about the challenges we faced or taking fuller accountability to maintain the professional approach you deserved.
The mention of Chelsey Rose in your review touches on something deeply personal: it is a company we established in honour of my late daughter, who we were sadly grieving during the period of your installation. You weren't to know, but this was an immensely difficult time that certainly impacted our ability to deliver as promised. While we understand this would not have been your intention, this mention is deeply hurtful not only to our team’s reputation across unrelated platforms, but in a personal regard to myself and my family. Perhaps continuing to work at the time wasn't the right thing to do at the time, in hindsight, we wish we had taken better responsibility for you as a customer.

Over 2 years on, The Master Craftsman has evolved its processes significantly, with stronger quality controls, clearer project timelines, and proactive communication to ensure issues like yours are resolved promptly. Your review has been part of the lessons driving those changes, and we remain grateful for your candour.
Back on our feet and healthy, we aren't taking these experiences for granted, but are in fact trying to make a huge difference to the standard of trustworthiness and service that is available for home owners looking to evolve their living environments. We paused business for a while and have been providing installations for various main stream kitchen companies over the past couple of years, discovering first hand just how demoralising it can be to be on the receiving end of poor service and collaboration. We are immensely sorry for the frustration you would have had while working with us in 2023.
We're hoping to make world a happier place, and with this context now shared, we wonder whether you'd consider updating your review and rating any amount. We do not wish to hide your feedback, it is part of the building block for where we are today, but we hope that a coming together will lead to better things.
Finally, if there are still ways we could help to rectify this situation, please let us know.
Warmly,
The Master Craftsman team
