Highlights
“James and Lee done a fantastic job restoring our old Dunster house cabin! It was completely rotten and one side had completely come away 😬 They removed all rotten timber and re insulated and then recladded with quality treated timber! Very happy with the work would highly recommend!”
“James and his team did a few jobs for us - rectify unsteady and noisy floorboards, fitted a new bath panel and installed new French doors from the lounge to the conservatory. These jobs were carried out professionally, efficiently and to a very good standard, and would definitely use his company again.”

James did a great job building a cupboard for us. All the work was to a very high standard. Will be using his services again.
James built a bespoke wardrobe and shelving. Excellent work and finish. Visitors have also commented on what a good job has been done. The men were also very easy to have in my flat, polite and non intrusive. I’d definitely recommend James and Lee.
The guys did a great job of the bespoke fitted shelves in our kitchen. Very neat and tidy, friendly and also had some good ideas to improve what we asked for. Would definitely get them back for our next project
Re-fitted, made good and painted old set of garage doors for us. Hard-working and professional guys with a good eye for detail. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you Leigh, it was an absolute pleasure.
I found James very prompt and easy to work with. He replaced a standard bathroom door and fitted a bi-fold door which he hinged to the opposite side of the frame to help save me space when opened. He was respectful and positive and his pricing reasonable whilst also delivering amazing service. He carried the work swiftly and professionally and I would definitely use him again for any of my capentry needs. I am hapoy to would recommend him and his polite team to all my friends and family. Great work - thank you James Regards John B

Thank you for your kind words Julia.
Fantastic repair work to a rotten window. Very careful and precise.
James was absolutely amazing, and incredibly helpful and professional. I would 100% recommend, and am so happy with the alcove wardrobe which provides so much storage.
James and Lee insulated and boarded our loft as well as extending the hatch and adding a ladder. They were courteous and worked diligently, keeping us informed along the way and we were happy with the results. They also accommodated a request to liaise with our plumber which we appreciated. I would certainly use them again.
James and Lee do a unit in a alcove and some shelves absolutely thrilled with the finished job very punctual tidy they will be doing more work for me highly recommended
We wanted to convert the built-in desk area to shelving (as I had purchased a free standing desk to go elsewhere in the room). James and Lee came over to offer ideas and created a lovely, sturdy shelving unit and cupboard for additional storage. We were also given the option to have it painted and Monty was able to do a grand job. We are so happy with how it has turned out. Highly recommend!
James fitted shelves above the downstairs loo, and hung a very large mirror in the hallway. A small job but he was polite, prompt and with plenty of email updates. Would recommend!

Thank you Emma for your kind words.
If you’re looking for bespoke carpentry, then we’d highly recommend James and his team. After he quoted a competitive price, we hired him to build a bespoke alcove cupboard and four floating shelves in our living room and throughout the process he was always on time, communicated really well, and really listened to what we wanted, plus he was very thorough and paid attention to the details. Overall he did a great job and is one of the best tradespeople we’ve come across, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
James did a great job creating custom shelves for our living room alcoves. He was careful to take into account all our design consideration and even accommodated a last-minute change. His team is very professional and diligent. All work has been carried out to the highest standard. I can highly recommend using JB Bespokes for custom shelves and any carpenter related tasks.
