Tell James about the job

James aims to come back to every enquiry within 24 hours. If you need an answer sooner, calling or sending a WhatsApp message on 07999 837148 is the fastest route because it reaches him directly.

The town, the type of work, roughly how many rooms or walls are involved, and whether it is a house, flat or commercial unit. Photographs are extremely useful and often mean James can give an indicative figure straight away.

For very simple jobs, sometimes. For anything larger, and for all render and damp work, James will want to see it. Phone estimates given without seeing a job are the reason so many quotes change halfway through.

Yes. James visits, looks at the job properly and gives a written price, free of charge and with no obligation, whether you decide to go ahead or not.

No. There is no call-out fee for a quote. You get a price for the work itself, agreed before anything starts.

For straightforward interior work, clear photographs with rough measurements are often enough for an indicative price. Anything structural, damp related or in a period property is worth a visit so the specification is right.

Where a ceiling has come down or damp has made a room unusable, James will do what he can to get to you quickly. Ring rather than emailing, because the phone reaches him faster than anything else.

Bank transfer is the usual method, with terms agreed in writing before the work starts. For larger jobs a staged payment schedule can be agreed so nothing is paid a long way ahead of the work being done.

Yes, and landlords and letting agents across Brighton and Hove book work this way regularly. James will tell you honestly at quoting stage whether the job, including drying time, genuinely fits inside your window.

Yes. Offices, shops, light industrial units and rental portfolios are all within scope, and James can phase the disruptive parts of a job so a business can keep trading while the work is done.
