Robert Bent’s life and career

For as long as he can remember, Robert has loved being hands-on.

He’s previously said that he enjoyed building Lego as a toddler, and actually liked putting together IKEA flat packs. Seriously, how?!

After helping pals on carpentry and flooring jobs, he decided to enroll in a carpentry and joinery course at the College of NW London.

He was there for two years, before leaving with a distinction in 2004.

This then led to him landing an apprenticeship.

However, after years of working for other people, Robert eventually took the leap and set up his own company, REBB Carpentry.

What does Robert do?

Robert is often called in to rectify mistakes made by the shoddy work of rogue builders who’ve left someone’s home damaged.

According to Siren Talent, who represent him, Robert loves nothing more than to see a home or room completely transformed.

They went on to say that his “professionalism and perfectionism” has seen him seen him earn a “glowing” reputation, as well as an increasing list of clients!

Away from Sort Your Life Out, Robert has also worked on Tetley Tea’s, ‘That’s Better, That’s Tetley’ campaign.

Is Robert Bent married?

Robert is apparently married, however, there don’t seem to be any details on who he’s married to.

The carpenter reportedly has three children with his wife. He has shared a handful of pictures of his family to Instagram.

Back in 2022, he enjoyed a father and son day out, with many commenting on how “beautiful” his son looked in the pics.
