10 Solid stairs and a beautiful new bannister
Posted 21 January
We hired Jay to fix our uneven, squeaky stairs and floorboards. The stairs took a few goes over the time he was with us, but he didn’t stop until they were completely solid. He checked we were happy at every stage and always willing to tweak things to get them right. Jay also installed a new glass and oak bannister and handrail, which looks really smart, transforming our landing and stairs. He’s very neat, well organised, has great timekeeping, and is polite and trustworthy to have in the house. We’re so pleased with the work that we’ve asked Jay back for more jobs. Would highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: KT1210 Alcove shelves - very pleased

Really pleased with the alcove shelves Jay built for us. They are very well-built and excellent paint finish as well. We had very good communication and the work went very smoothly with very little mess and finished to a very high standard. We have a new-born imminent so we were appreciative of consideration shown around that as well. Would not hesitate to get in touch if we need any other work done. Thanks JayVerified reviewerJob location: SW210 Excellent Carpentry Work and Very Professional

Jay made and put up three new long floating shelves for our dining room. He also replaced a couple of old 1930's doors, one in our dining room and one in our front room, with new doors of a similar 1930's style and did the fixtures/fittings too. He even sourced and provided the new doors for us. Jay is very courteous, helpful and professional, and his work is excellent and he takes a lot of care in his work too. He is also a very tidy worker. Jay has done several carpentry jobs for us now and we have always been pleased with the outcomes. We would highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: CR010 Flexible Arch Architrave, Oak window board and Oak step

Jay spent over a week doing the final carpentry for our new kitchen. This included doors, filler panels, end panels, custom modifications, along with fitting a custom fitted bench with oak top, large custom oak shelves and an oak ply bar back for our peninsula. He did an amazing job- really skilled, great communication, and had good ideas to help make things even better. He is also incredibly organised and always left the area clean and tidy at the end of the day- absolutely the best tradesman we've ever had. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat for work in the future and recommend him highly!Verified reviewerJob location: SE1510 Amazing desk fitted, great experience

Jay fitted a desk with drawers into a previously unused spaced on our top floor. It looks amazing and he’s done a fantastic job and exactly what we wanted. He kept us up to date with his progress and was nice to have in the house / interact with. Would highly recommend!Verified reviewerJob location: SW11
