    General Carpentry

    Skilled Professional Tailormade Carpentry

    Excellent, professional, detailed work. He really listens to what the customer asks and tries his best to come up with solutions and make things work, no matter how intricate or fiddly the task. No request is too big or too small and I am extremely pleased with the end result. Could not have asked for a better job. Above and beyond expectations. A very polite, tidy, knowledgeable and reliable tradesman. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of a carpenter and would definitely use his services again should I require any carpentry in the future.

    Under sink kitchen unit and new plumbing

    James did an excellent and professional job. He made a new kitchen unit to replace my old water damaged cupboard and also replaced the leaky plumbing and waste traps. He bought quality components and fittings and I felt his quote was good value. I am really pleased with the quality of the work done and would recommend James to all my friends and neighbours.

    Completed Kitchen install

    J Watt Carpentry (JWC) made me realise that there are still some hard working honest and reliable tradespeople out there. Very transparent and professional service. Above and beyond the norm and the finish is outstanding. I have recommended JWC to my family and close circle knowing that JWC will live up to my word. Really a breath of fresh air in an industry full of unprofessionals.

    Designed and built a large Shaker style shelved cabinet

    James did a brilliant job designing and building a large cabinet to fit into a specific and slightly awkward space. I now have an immaculate, very sturdy cupboard- exactly what I wanted. He worked tidily, always clearing up after himself and is very friendly and helpful. Reliable, trustworthy and skilled. I highly recommend.

    Top of stairs removal of broken boards and replacement

    Jim did a great job for us. He turned up when he said he would to look at what needed to be done. Then came on time and did the job in question quickly and efficiently at a reasonable price. This was the first of three jobs he is doing for us and we are happy to recommend him. He is an affable man who does what he says he will do at the time when he says he will do it.

    Kitchen fitting

    Having never had a kitchen refurbishment before, I was a nervous client and had many questions about the process. J Watt Carpentry were completely reassuring, helping me and advising me every step of way. The team are friendly, hardworking, reliable, knowledgable, have an impressive attention to detail and are tidy workers (I told them mess bothered me!). Any days that I was unable to catch up with them in person, I received messages updating me on the progress. The end result is the kitchen of my dreams. I can’t recommend them enough.

Hello, my name is James Watt, i am a highly skilled, city and guilds level 3 qualified carpenter and joiner with 24 years’ experience.

I consider myself to be a friendly, reliable & honest tradesman who enjoys what I do, which reflects in my finished work.

I began my journey in a joinery shop making bespoke display cabinets and desks for museums, exhibitions and the tv and film industry. Although my main trade is Carpentry, over the years I have gained a vast amount of knowledge and experience in the General Building trade which allows me to offer you a huge range of Services, all carried out with exceptional care and attention to detail.

I am able to project manage the whole job you have planned and take care of everything for you, which means that you don’t have to worry about enlisting different traders for the various elements of your job. Most of the work will be completed by myself and my team who are very good friends of mine in my personal life and I have known and used for many years and have great working relationships with and trust that their work is of the same high standard as mine.

I will only ever take on one project at a time, so you will always have my undivided attention, until the work is fully complete and you are fully satisfied.

We offer the following services...

  • Bespoke Cabinets And Wardrobes
  • Kitchen Fitting & Boiler Housings
  • Loft Conversions And Roofing
  • Garden Structures
  • Decking
