"Can't recommend James enough!  No job is ever too small or big to do.  Always friendly and so thorough with his work.  Attention to detail perfect.  Thanks James"  

Debbie Lewis

"James is amazing.  He spent the day yesterday putting up mirrors on our new build walls, making extra shelving to go up into a fitted wardrobe and an airing cupboard and putting together some tricky ikea furniture.

We couldn't be happier James did a fantastic job and left everthing clean and tidy afterwards.  He's friendly and efficient and we shall be highly recommending to family and fiends."

"I cannot recommend James highly enough.  From first contact to job completed James has kept me informed and updated.

He was very tidy and I wouldn't have known he'd been here apart from my sparkly newly painted  railings!

Thank you so much James"


Melanie Glass

"James was really responsive to my queries and came to do a relatively small job of fitting a new kitchen tap for us.   He is really polite, friendly and a tidy worker.  I was particularly impressed that he wore shoe protectors into the house which I think shows a lot of respect for people's homes.  I would definitely recommend him."

"James is an excellent handyman in Eastbourne!  Top Notch!  He is professional, friendly, conscientious, charges a fair price and does a great job.  His communication is excellent, and we weren't kept waiting for a response to emails.  He put together a flatpack glass dining room table and some chairs for us, as well as putting up a picture hook.  He also removed and cleared a blocked downpipe on guttering.  Before fixing the downpipe, he arranged to visit a few days before to check what was involved.  We'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending James and will recommend to others.  Thanks James!"
