“Found James through rated people to do a full kitchen refurbishment. This wasn't the easiest project, when stripped out their were issues found. But James and other trades he brought in, that carried out the work were very professional and finished the work to a really high standard. Also gave communication and support throughout. 100% recommend and would definitely use James again. Thanks again for work you did, Emily and I couldn't be happier.”

Highlights
“James completed a full flat refurbishment for me. New Bathroom, new radiators, complete redecoration of all rooms inc plastering, new laminate flooring. Nothing too much trouble, turned up on time and everything finished to a high standard. Fair price for a fair job. He even came back a few weeks later to finish off some work that couldn't be done on the original job due to late fitting by another contractor (not him!). Would happily re-hire, and have already asked for another quote”
“Excellent service from James. He responds to messages and arrives on time. He did the job quickly and efficiently and took all the rubbish. I'm very happy with the work completed and hope to use James again”
