James’s work is quality. He’s punctual, easy to contact and works efficiently at a more than fair price. Highly recommended by my husband and me!

The work was carried out and completed in a professional manner. There was clear communication. The end result is of a high standard.

Recently we had some work done in our house. We had some tumbled marble tiles put down in the hall (on top of a wet underfloor heating system!!!). We became aware of a tile that had been severely scratched by the builder. James was surgeon like in his approach and despite the removal being fairly physical, he had the utmost respect for our property and minimising the mess. It is such an invisible repair and my underfloor heating system was left fully in tact. Thanks James for a professional job!

I recently moved into an 1860 house. It is a beautiful house but had been abused over the years. Cement used in the brickwork and plastering and modern exterior paint (causing damp). I am a chartered engineer and know the importance of specifying the correct materials. For my recent remodel, I spent a lot of time on this. The damp is gone and house transformed. I can’t overstate the importance of using someone who has this appreciation. James is this guy. He recently surgically repaired the corner of my house (paint removal/brick repair). He knows his stuff!!!

James surpassed all of my expectations — he is a true craftsman who clearly enjoys and takes pride in his work. The job turned out to be more challenging than we originally thought, but James was unfazed by this, spending the extra time required to get a superb finish. He completely transformed my fireplaces. One of them had partially collapsed, and he somehow managed to restore it to its original beauty — they are both stunning. He is polite, punctual and was a pleasure to deal with throughout the process. Just make sure you have plenty of oat milk.

James brings years of experience to the job. He is very good at working with the client to understand and achieve what they want. Almost more importantly he works with traditional materials such as lime, slate and hessian recommended for any property earlier than 1900. This trade is in short supply and very happy he is a part of it.
