    Flat refurbishment

    I am very happy to recommend A Job for Julian. I bought a flat that needed updating starting with the kitchen units, worktops and tiles and replacing internal doors. It’s not easy to choose between trades people but I’m glad I chose Julian. During those initial works Julian identified a damp issue which required more extensive work to be carried out and save me future headaches. In the end Julian spent 4x months on the flat off and on and I’m very pleased with the results.

    Bi fold wardrobe doors

    From start to finish Julian has been a delight to deal with. From coming to quote for the work he understood the needs of the work and explained how this would be achieved. He was friendly reassuring and professional. He was always on time and made sure everything was clean and tidy at the end of each day. The finish of the wardrobes was really good and everyone comments how great they look. He has been great with support for after care of the doors and has since done additional work he is reliable and will definitely be my first point of call for any carpentry work in the future.
