    Excellent refurb on Summerhouse

    Julian is incredibly knowledgeable and versatile in his approach. He immediately saw the work that needed to be done and carried it out in a quality, energetic and cost-effective way. Julian and team transformed our summer house from a tired old structure into a stable, modern and attractive workspace.

    Reliable, Professional and Friendly

    Julian installed a handrail on my staircase for my grandmother, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The work was completed to a very high standard, and the handrail is sturdy, secure, and looks great. Julian was friendly, professional, and reliable from start to finish. He completed the job efficiently, left everything clean and tidy, and charged a very fair price. I would definitely recommend Julian to anyone looking for quality carpentry work.

    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.
