Led me along a conversation before at the last minute saying there was no spot to do the work for two months. Then ignored my contact to attempt to book the job for the available time mentioned. Timewasting, if you don't want to do the job, just decline!Verified reviewerJob location: E97.67 Replaced skirting boards in the kitchen
Posted 6 days ago
Arrived on time, very polite and overall was pleased with the job, including vacuuming up afterwards.However one small piece of skirting was missed and this on its own could be viewed as an oversight, but the marking down of the submitted results is due to being told a piece of sticker which needed to be removed from the skirting was in fact on later inspection appears to be damage to the skirting board and this needs to be replaced which is disappointing.Verified reviewerJob location: IG610 Hung 3 doors.

Had James in to fill in the backs of our stairs, fit some railings to the downstairs banister and some boarding to the upstairs banister. Fantastic job. Delighted with the works done.

Posted 06 June
James was charming, professional and reasonably priced. He was clear in his communication from early on and very easy to deal with. The shelves he built for us are fantastic, exactly what we were after. His work was efficient and professional. Him and his co-worker let the space tidy and we are very happy with their work. We would definitely use him again. Highly recommended!Verified reviewerJob location: E10
