I was recommended JB Bespoke by a family friend and got James, I needed a media set up and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. He thought of problems I hadn’t considered and provided the solutions I needed. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome and service… will definitely be using In the future 👍🏼

I found James Baulsh very reliable. He was really helpful giving me ideas for what I wanted doing. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and that I was happy with the outcome of work in my home. He showed very high standards throughout from start to finish. Would definitely use him again and would highly recommend him to others.

James and Les from JB Bespokes rebuilt the underframe of our extensive decking area recently, replacing all the timber-work and adding in steel supports where needed. They were competitive on price, did a great job and we are very pleased with the outcome. James was also prompt, responsive to emails/WhatsApp messages and the team were meticulous and tidy about their work. It was a pleasure working with JB Bespokes. I can thoroughly recommend them for the quality of their work and their professional approach to the job

James did a great job creating custom shelves for our living room alcoves. He was careful to take into account all our design consideration and even accommodated a last-minute change. His team is very professional and diligent. All work has been carried out to the highest standard. I can highly recommend using JB Bespokes for custom shelves and any carpenter related tasks.

If you’re looking for bespoke carpentry, then we’d highly recommend James and his team. After he quoted a competitive price, we hired him to build a bespoke alcove cupboard and four floating shelves in our living room and throughout the process he was always on time, communicated really well, and really listened to what we wanted, plus he was very thorough and paid attention to the details. Overall he did a great job and is one of the best tradespeople we’ve come across, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

James fitted shelves above the downstairs loo, and hung a very large mirror in the hallway. A small job but he was polite, prompt and with plenty of email updates. Would recommend!

We wanted to convert the built-in desk area to shelving (as I had purchased a free standing desk to go elsewhere in the room). James and Lee came over to offer ideas and created a lovely, sturdy shelving unit and cupboard for additional storage. We were also given the option to have it painted and Monty was able to do a grand job. We are so happy with how it has turned out. Highly recommend!

James and Lee insulated and boarded our loft as well as extending the hatch and adding a ladder. They were courteous and worked diligently, keeping us informed along the way and we were happy with the results. They also accommodated a request to liaise with our plumber which we appreciated. I would certainly use them again.
