Posted 30 July
Julian did an excellent job refitting our front door that had dropped and would not close. He was reliable, efficient, friendly, helpful, polite and took great care to make sure the job was finished to his complete satisfaction. He seemed to go out of his way to perfect the job. His communication was very good indeed, including letting us know that he was going to be a little later than expected. He is obviously an experienced carpenter who knows his trade well. I would recommend him without hesitation.Verified reviewerJob location: CT610 New howdens kitchen fitted

Julian did a great job on a tricky staircase in a new build with no so straight plasterboard walls! He communicated with me before and during the job to make sure we both understood what he was doing and that I as the client was happy with it. He turned up on time and was very tidy.Verified reviewerJob location: CT149.33 Garage loft completion
Posted 16 July
Job location: CT3Great service - professional, tidy, and high-quality work Julian the carpenter came to complete our garage conversion and carried out a wide range of jobs to a very high standard. He took up and replaced the loft flooring using moisture-resistant boards, reusing materials where possible to build three sturdy shelving units with CLS timber and offcuts - a great, sustainable touch. He also moved and reorganised existing loft storage to allow the flooring to be completed properly, altered the loft hatch openings to fit new ladder kits, installed two loft hatches, and trimmed the ladders to suit tResponse from A Job for Julian
