The work was carried to a high level of craftsmanship. James was thorough in his work and very tidy (I hate mess so this was a bonus!). His quote was very fair and we didn't need to pay any extra. He was punctual and reliable as well as being funny, respectful and courteous. James was working in our home unattended while we were at work and we fully trusted him - we have already booked James to do more work as we were so pleased with his craftsmanship and pride he takes in his work, as well as his professional, friendly manner - we would recommend James 200% for any job!

I would highly recommend James and definitely use him again for any carpentry needs I have as the job he did throughout the house was brilliant! James arrived every day on time and completed all the work in the time he said he would.
Amazing! Really pleased and happy with everything that was done. Could not ask for more.
