10 Fitting two awkward doors
Posted 18 January
Job location: CR4We are extremely impressed with James and his craftsmanship. His communication is clear and he really made sure we understood how to go about finishing the job the best way possible. In particular, the doors and frames were miss matched in terms of size (one frame being too big and the other too small) and James seamlessly used the excess of one door to perfect the size of the other - and you can’t even tell. Given all the additional considerations, we really appreciate James sticking to his initial quote. Also a very nice guy - big recommendation from us! - TTim B

Job location: CR2I highly recommend J Lawton Building & Carpentry for their expertise and professionalism. James and his team did a fantastic job repairing a Victorian casement window. The base of the window was rotten due to water damage and appeared irreparable. The window was repaired to a high standard and restored to its original condition, maintaining the original stained glass and bevelled edge wooden frame. A family-run business that takes pride in their work, finishes within the set timeframe and communicates well about the process.- RRobert G
