“Excellent, professional, detailed work. He really listens to what the customer asks and tries his best to come up with solutions and make things work, no matter how intricate or fiddly the task. No request is too big or too small and I am extremely pleased with the end result. Could not have asked for a better job. Above and beyond expectations. A very polite, tidy, knowledgeable and reliable tradesman. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of a carpenter and would definitely use his services again should I require any carpentry in the future.”

Highlights
“James did an excellent and professional job. He made a new kitchen unit to replace my old water damaged cupboard and also replaced the leaky plumbing and waste traps. He bought quality components and fittings and I felt his quote was good value. I am really pleased with the quality of the work done and would recommend James to all my friends and neighbours.”
“J Watt Carpentry (JWC) made me realise that there are still some hard working honest and reliable tradespeople out there. Very transparent and professional service. Above and beyond the norm and the finish is outstanding. I have recommended JWC to my family and close circle knowing that JWC will live up to my word. Really a breath of fresh air in an industry full of unprofessionals.”
