Mike Tidd: Carpenter on Crete

I am a fully qualified and experienced cabinet maker and carpenter from the UK, now based in central Crete. I have over 20 years of experience making furniture, kitchens and general carpentry. I offer the following services:-

• Kitchen planning and installation
• Custom kitchen construction
• Furniture
• Built-in/fitted wardrobes and storage
• Shelving
• Custom-made pergolas and outdoor furniture
• General carpentry work (partition walls, wooden flooring etc.)

For more information on any of these services see the Kitchens, Furniture & Carpentry pages. You can also see some of my previous work in the Gallery page.

I completed an apprenticeship as a Cabinet Maker in Toronto, Canada in 1983 and since then I have built numerous pieces of handcrafted furniture, kitchens, and built-in cabinetry.

I am based in southern Heraklion prefecture and I serve the prefectures of Heraklion and Rethymno, but for larger jobs (e.g. kitchens) I am prepared to travel further.

What customers say

My wife and I first met the team of Mike Tidd and partner, Jo Logan, 12 months ago when we engaged them to design, build and fit a kitchen for us. The efficiency, craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail impressed us enormously.

Since then we have employed Carpenter on Crete for 3 further projects – a fitted bedroom to a traditional design, large gates and further bedroom furniture. On each occasion we have been very pleased with the result and that each project came in within time and the agreed budget. In addition to the impressive work, the personality of the team adds humour to the whole undertaking.” Mr & Mrs Gilbert Verity The Blue House, Kavousi, Lassithi April 2008
