James is a brilliant painter and decorator, has done indoor and outdoor work for us and can’t be faulted. He turns up when he says he will, calls back promptly when needed, prepares surface immaculately and with a constant eye for detail. James is a true pro.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

James did an excellent job, everything left clean and tidy each day. Would highly recommend.
Had a good feeling about James from first contact. I found him on checkatrade.Com. He was really friendly and personable. He gave us a reasonable price quite quickly. He was easy to have around the house and was really courteous. James did a lovely job and we will definitely use him again. I would thoroughly recommend him.
