Replaced a damaged door which didn't close with a new one using my original fittings. The door fits perfectly and it can now be locked too!
Carpets carefully covered and all debris cleared.
Very pleased with the whole experience including agreeing a convenient time and date for the work.

James did some remedial work on outside front door jambs & door. He sourced & replaced 2 sets of door handles. Super work. Tidied up after each job. He had previously put in a new kitchen. Really takes a pride in his work. Communication before & after work excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending James.

James completed a number of small jobs in my house which required a range of skills, attention to detail and a focus on getting the finish right. I was really impressed with James's work and his communication throughout. He was especially good at involving me in each decision and checking that I was completely satisfied with the finished job - which I was in every case.

James carried out work at my house internally and externally. He fitted panels in a bedroom and repaired my garden gate which was not functioning properly and I was unable to use it. James came to look at the jobs and was extremely helpful in assisting me in choosing the best materials required for the jobs. He kept me informed of the costs involved and when he would be available to carry out the work. The work has now been completed and the results are fabulous. The new panels are superb and my gate is now working again so I am a very happy customer and would definitely be using James again in the future. I will also be recommending him to friends and family. Great service from a very friendly and helpful professional.

Thoroughly recommend James. Knowledge is 2nd to none, really easy to deal with, diligent, honest, great communication / explanation, and the quality is spot on. We had some internal glazed doors fitted a couple of years ago, and was so pleased we didn’t hesitate to ask for all doors to be changed, laminate flooring and a fitted wardrobe. I would doubt you’ll be disappointed.

James has done several jobs for me in the past; this time it was external joinery round a window. He is always reliable, courteous, and produces excellent workmanship.

Review Comments
James had a very tricky task - to rectify the negligent work of a previous firm.
He undertook this with professionalism, care and warmth from the visit to quote, to communications to carrying out the work.
He was extremely careful to complete the work to a very high standard - which other people had intimidated would be impossible to achieve with the starting point of the previous negligent work.

I feel an enormous weight off my shoulders now I have a lovely wooden surround for my skylight window; something I wasn’t sure would be able to be achieved.

James was also extremely respectful of my home both in his manner and ensuring the room was as clean (cleaner actually!) as he found it.

I would strongly recommend James.

James fitted an Attic Access ladder to our vey talk ceiling - over 3 metres. He sourced the ladders when other joiners said none long enough and fitted them. James had to make a new access hatch, he’s done a great job and a very tidy job. Thank you James. C

I had wardrobes built in, bi folding doors fitted in kitchen, a new cupboard door and a new latch on lounge door. Mr Jappy was very professional, efficient and courteous at all times.

I do not hesitate in recommending him to other prospective customers.

We asked James to quote to make some alterations to some existing side-hung garage doors, and tidy them up a bit too.

Throughout. James provided great service, was friendly and professional, and communicated really well about what work was required and when he would be able to do it.

When the day came, he arrived on time and completed the job to a really high standard, even though the work turned out a bit fiddlier than originally expected. everything was left neat and tidy afterwards.

We are very happy with the work that was done and will certainly be looking to use James again whenever we have need of a joiner.

James Jappy is an exceptional, singularly talented joiner who has transformed our house over recent years. This particular exercise involved sanding and refurbishing an oak floor in our conservatory which now looks like new - better than new, to be honest.

James has a remarkable eye for detail. He is meticulous in his preparation and execution of this work and many other previous projects in our household. I can happily commend James to anyone wishing to hire a high quality, traditional joiner with encyclopaedic knowledge of his particular trade.

Fitted acoustic panels in lounge and dining room. Two new doors fitted and door on hatch.

Very friendly and polite. Great attention to deal. James’ work is of a high standard. Very clean and tidy. I have asked him to come back to fit wall panels in my en-suite. I can’t recommend James enough.

James constructed and fitted a cupboard and bookshelf unit for our small bedroom. The fit and finish are excellent. We would definitely recommend James for his workmanship and reliability and would have no hesitation in requesting him to do any further joinery work for us. Thank you!

3. Solution to problem of banging door. ( key sourced and provided avoiding major work.)

All done quickly and to a high standard. The wee display boxes are stunning.

Over the past couple of years James Jappy has essentially transformed our house. He has installed bespoke furniture / wardrobes / floors / windows etc. etc. and restored / refurbished / replaced all of the shoddy workmanship we inherited from the previous owner. James' work is of the highest standard, faultless. He is a delight to deal with and is - by a distance - the best joiner we have employed over many decades. I have no hesitation in providing the highest recommendation for James' services. You will not be disappointed! Regards, Kenneth Edmond

Needed new skirting boards in the living room after having the walls skimmed.
Asked some friends for joiner recommendation and 2 of them have used James., and was highly recommended.
James came to have a look and measured then sent us an estimate, and came to do the work a few days later. On time, very professional, tidy honest and reliable.
Have a few more little jobs to be done and we will be using James again.
If you need a joiner phone James , he is the man for the job

James Jappy has done work in our house and garden for over a decade and we keep returning because of the quality of work and the excellent value for money.

He has done work in almost every room in the house, the loft and also built our summer house in the garden.

Last year we decided to take the plunge and get brand new kitchen and there was never any question of us going with another company. We went with James Jappy and were absolutely delighted with the results.

This year he has fitted a brand new floor in our living room & dining room with further work planned before christmas in my daughter's room.
