Highlights
"James' communication was very good, and price reasonable. He completed all the jobs in good time and has arranged to come back to complete one more for us in a couple of weeks. fantastic service. Highly recommended"
"James is a lovely lad, who worked hard. He was very attentive to our requirements and followed our instructions without complaining. He was punctual and price was good. The only thing I would say is it would have been better if he used dust sheets during drilling and chipping. So dust is not spewed over furniture and floor. Also I had provided a list of jobs, one of the items he informed me wasn't his area of expertise, I appreciated his honesty, but this should have been notified beforehand. I had to find another trader. Which has been impossible as nobody wants to come to do a small job"
"James Mac has been amazing from first contact. Described what was needed given measurements and pictures of area and was able to clearly understand what was needed for the job. He then booked me in I then asked a time frame to when he would arrive he actually came earlier once supplies was got from supplier by himself. Had a brief discussion and he cracked on with the works. Very reasonable price for the craftsmanship and quality supplied to the works. The works took him approximately 3 hours to complete very impressed with my gate."
