“We had used James’s services a few times in the past and had always been very pleased with his work; this time was no exception. The property was empty and knowing him to be trustworthy we gave him a key to come and go as he pleased. He followed our requests regarding the security of the house, turning off utilities etc at the end of the day and just got on with the job. James is a pleasant, hard working chap who has done a brilliant job making our once tatty walls and ceilings smooth and ready for decorating. Highly recommended.”
