'' My wife and I bought a property at Saltponds, Mousehole in 2006 and have been carrying out major works on the property since then. During this time we were living out of the area and therefore have been dependent on the reliability and integrity of those carrying out the work

James Bailey carried out all the skilled carpentry work. It was completed on time and to our complete satisfaction.

We are by nature a bit particular ( you could say fussy ) and required a high standard of work. We have been entirely satisfied with the quality of design and finish achieved by James Bailey. Furthermore, he proved able to use initiative in carrying out the work without the need for someone being regularly on site.

We have also been pleasantly surprised at his pricing of work. Having obtained costings from a number of sources for different jobs, we always found James to be very competitive.

He was always willing to listen to requirements and was friendly in his approach to carrying out the work. Our neighbours in Mousehole (who had to put up with all the noise and mess of the renovation work) were particularly complimentary of James' attitude and approach.

We would have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody and will continue to use his services as required in the future. ''
