We found Jim to be very friendly, conscientious, accommodating, very tidy and nothing seemed too much trouble. He was punctual and came when he said he would and told us if he was going to be late. His work was very good. He pointed out problem areas where he made suggestions on how they might be rectified. We were very happy with the final outcome and would certainly recommend Jim if asked.

Jim did a fantastic job renovating our bifold doors. After 10 years of wear the wood was bleached, grey and cracked in lots of places. He sanded them down and re varnished them bringing back the natural colour. He even resealed some wood panels that were coming away near the windows. Am impressed with the professional, methodical and tidy way in which he works and was a pleasure to have around.

Mark Artis     *****

Jim's attention to detail and work ethic are second to none. We were really pleased with the results and Jim was always reliable and conscientious.

Wendy Powell     *****

Really pleased with Jim's work. We had to work to a tight deadline fitting in between tenants and working to high standards and working long days to fit in. Great communication and on time!

Great Service - Highly Recommended : Jim redecorated our kitchen and dining room, and re-varnished our wooden worktops. He did an excellent job - he was thorough, communicated with us throughout and the quality of his work was very high. He was also great value. I would recommend him to anyone!

Excellent. Hard working, professional and meticulous. Jim has done a fantastic job of our lounge. He has built fitted alcove cupboards, inserted a picture rail, redone the window sills and painted the whole room. We cannot recommend him enough. He is a perfectionist and takes an enormous amount of pride in what he does, leaving the finished product exceptional. The alcove cupboards are perfect with every little part well planned and executed. 
He is highly professional and a pleasure to have in your home. He asks for nothing, is kind and considerate. He makes minimal mess and always clears up after himself.
Having experienced such high quality work we will be asking Jim back again and again and would thoroughly recommend without hesitation.

Skilled, professional and courteous painter and decorator - Jim at JK Woodcraft carried out a full redecoration of one room for me recently, painting walls ceiling and woodwork. He was professional and courteous and I really valued the care he took in preparing for the work, and how he kept everything so tidy. I was so happy with his work I have asked him to redecorate my entire home! I’m delighted to have found him and have no hesitation at all in recommending Jim and JK Woodcraft.

Jim has just done a fantastic job of sorting out my sash windows, as well as hardwood window sills, fascias etc. etc. - they look like new. Rare to find someone who is both a skilled joiner and decorator. He really goes the extra mile and is conscientious, reliable and trustworthy. Cannot recommend him highly enough!

Sally H     *****

Excellent work and reliable. Very pleasant man. I had to be away from the house many times and found him very trustworthy. My overall experience was very good quality of work.


Eve M     *****

Jim decorated our 3 bed town house top to bottom. I would describe Jim's work as professional, careful (properly protects carpets, sockets etc.), fast, great results - also made a very good boiler surround and fixed our kitchen carpentry problems for us. We will certainly ask Jim to work for us again.

Nick Salisbury     *****

Jim has done several jobs for us. His workmanship is impeccable, he is thoughtful and we would not hesitate to use him again and recommend to others.

Sarah Loughrey     *****

We employed Jim to recondition our Victorian sash windows -some of which we thought were beyond repair. Jim completely over-hauled the woodwork bringing them back to their original glory and decorated to look as new. We also had the wood in our Victorian garage door refurbished to look as new. We were so pleased with Jim’s perfectionist attention to detail that we had him back to decorate our hall, front door to match the garage, bedroom and sitting room. Jim was a joy to have working in our house as he always left everything tidy and clean. He never rushed the preparation work and the finish on everything is top class.

Kate Ellis     *****

I highly recommend Jim and his carpentry skills. He has renovated a number of very rotten / damp sash windows over the last few years and the quality of his workmanship has been great. He takes great care in his work and will be calling on his services again on our next project!

Josh Winter     *****

Trustworthy and quality worker. His attention to detail is much to be admired, which is a quality that is hard to find these days. Has recently completed two jobs for us at a very competitive price and we are very pleased with the quality of workmanship. Would recommend to anyone, as indeed we have already done to friends and relatives.

Front Door and Porch Renovation - From initial contact and quote through to the workmanship, attention to detail and general demeanour, Jim was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We were very impressed with the standard of his work and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone wanting a quality finish from someone who takes pride in their work and takes a level of care and attention to detail that is missing from most! Highly recommended!

Jim is a great guy to deal with as he is skilled, accommodating in his work style, a great communicator so you know where you are and, importantly, when he will be with you next....!!.He works on the job until you and he are both happy with the final result. Excellent.

Kate Rogers     *****

Jim carried out some fairly extensive renovation work to some sash windows our Grade II listed building. Several of the windows were beyond repair and Jim made sure to keep us abreast of things throughout the job. The work carried was of an excellent standard, a fair price and done in a timely manner. Jim also put up with my constant requests and questions and didn't hesitate to suggest a better solutions where necessary. 

Kathryn Stannard Moore     *****

I approached Jim after seeing him transform the windows on a house across the rd. He restored and painted a bathroom window for me and has done a fantastic job. Also repairing another section of rot on the corner of the conservatory. He's been punctual and tidy. The quality of the work is fantastic and I already have a number of other jobs lined up for him. I would recommend Jim to friends and family, I'm delighted with the work he's done.

Deborah Winter     *****

We had our very old front door and surround painted. Jim did a really thorough job of preparing it and making necessary repairs. It now looks wonderful, we couldn't be more pleased. As well as doing a great job, Jim is a nice person to have around and a very clean and tidy worker.
