Customer reviews for this trader
Iwan did a fantastic job fitting doors and architrave in our home. He is friendly, professional and worked hard. His pricing is fair and reasonable. We will use him again and have already started to recommend him to friends and family.
Iwan fitted 3 doors for us, and has done a very professional job, making sure everything was perfect before moving on to the next door. He worked a very long day, and we are extremely pleased with the end result.
The work Iwan did for us was 1st class. Did just what we asked for in a very professional way. He is a friendly knowledgeable person and I would definitely contact him again if we needed a joiner in the future. We were very lucky to find him. Will recommend him to our family and friends.
I needed 6 doors hanging and all the architrave and skirting fitted in the hall and landing. Iwan did the work to a high standard. He was extremely clean and tidy, leaving no mess at the end of each day. Would highly recommend and will definitely get him in to do further work when I need it.
Absolutely recommend! 10/10. Hung 3 bedroom doors, created an understairs coat and shoe storage for us. Really friendly, cleaned away any mess and talked through each project, changed a shelf position for me which was tricky as it had already been screwed in! As I was working from home too Iwan was very courteous. We will use Iwan again as he felt part of our family circle by the time he left!
Absolutely delighted! Very knowledgeable, professional, punctual, tidy and a really nice guy. Iwan takes real pride on getting a job done to the highest standards. If you want peace of mind and a quality job, we recommend you contact this trader. We'd definitely be contacting him again.
Iwan's work is exemplary. Courteous and professional, he made a fantastic job of my complex kitchen tiling task; I am so pleased with the finish. He is easy to work with and discuss options, makes recommendations, but will ultimately deliver what you as the customer asks with outstanding attention to detail. Such a kind gentleman too, I would thoroughly recommend him.
We have always been very happy with Iwan's work, he is our go-to joiner. He has laid our floors, tiled for us and moved stud walls. He definitely knows his trade and is very experienced. He is a nice bloke who you can ask for advice about the project but will do things how you ask him to. I have already recommended him to our friends and would recommend him without reservation to anyone else.
I echo these reviews and can't recommend him more highly. Iwan is a pleasure to work with and the quality of his work, his knowledge, attention to detail and consideration to you in the process is exemplary.
Iwan was really thorough in understanding our ideas and plan for the cupboards and shelving and giving feedback. The final product is excellent and finish is superb, I'd highly recommend him for any joinery work required.
Excellent work provided by Iwan, fitted my kitchen worktops and upstands at short notice and stayed late to get them all finished at no extra cost! Very impressed with the quality of his work and attention to detail. Very professional and I will be recommending him to family and friends.
Iwan made some bespoke kitchen units and shelves and has been absolutely brilliant from start to finish.Would 100% recommend Iwan to anyone looking for a professional, reliable and honest service.

Iwan made some bespoke cupboards for our bedroom and bathroom, this was in loft space, he made useless space into useful space, so pleased with the finished result, would highly recommend.
Iwan fitted us 2 internal doors and his attention to detail was second to none. We would definitely recommend him without hesitation.
Iwan did a fantastic job fitting our kitchen. He fitted the units, worktops and did the tiling for us. He also manufactured our surplus worktops into window ledges. He is a true craftsman. His attention to detail is incredible. He worked really hard. Our kitchen looks amazing. Thank you Iwan.
Iwan kindly made time to come and make a repair. It was not straightforward but he was careful and thorough to achieve the best possible result. His attention to detail is amazing and I am very happy with his work. Highly recommended and thank you so much.
We were very impressed with the care and attention to detail that Iwan gave to installing our new windows. He also worked with accuracy and explained processes as and when we had questions. Very easy to get on with, friendly in establishing a good working relationship. He was clearly committed to achieving a good job and was neat and tidy in doing so. We definitely will be happy to employ him again as and when we have other relevant projects he can help us with. We now have some new windows that we are greatly enjoying and much admired by our neighbours!
Iwan fitted 5 internal doors for us. We are most pleased with the work Iwan did. Would highly recommend him. 5stars.
We were very impressed with Iwan he fitted us a new kitchen earlier 2020 and now he changed all our interior doors absolutely over the moon with his work wouldn't hesitate at recommending people to him thank you.
Iwan refurbished our loft including replacing the loft ladders. Iwan is a very skilled craftsman who provided a high level of service and workmanship at a reasonable price. We have no hesitation in recommending Iwan and will ask him to do more work for us.
Iwan made me some bespoke fitted wardrobes. He took great care and did a fantastic job. The quality of workmanship really shone through. Fabulous job, would thoroughly recommend.
Ewan James was recommended to me by my daughter after he completed work for her. I asked Ewan to create bookcase and cupboards for me in my new extension. Ewan came round measured up and provided a quote which I was satisfied with. He created the work offsite and installed the work after only measuring twice. The bookcases and cupboards are a perfect fit, his work is exemplary and I am delighted with the outcome. He is a very logical and precise worker cleans up as he goes along and consults when required on all aspects. A great job from a very personable craftsman.
We recently had Iwan round to fit the oak worktops, cornice and cupboard handles for our new kitchen. He showed up when he said he would and was always very responsive by phone and email. All the work he completed is perfect and his attention to detail was amazing. He would always raise any issues with us and give us various options so we could make a decision, and left the place clean and tidy. He also had to work round an electrician in the kitchen at the same time which I'm sure made his job harder, but he had no complaints and was a pleasure to have in the house. Iwan's price was fair and well worth it - we won't hesitate to use him for any joinery jobs in the future and would recommend him to anyone.
Iwan did an exceptional job when he rebuilt old dangerous stairs in our house. He is such a professional and his work is of the highest standard. We will definitely ask Iwan to do more work for us. Highly recommended. Thank you Iwan.
Iwan fitted lovely wooden doors and windows that were made by Brinard Joinery, a contact of his. It was an excellent recommendation, as they looked amazing. Iwan worked hard in pretty awful weather and has done a brilliant job, much admired by our neighbours. He was very reliable and completed the job in the time he predicted. He's a real craftsman, and I've asked him to do some other joinery jobs next year.
Iwan was recommended to us and we were doubly reassured by his impressive Trusted Trader feedback. He made an excellent job of fitting replacement double glazed units to some of our existing hardwood windows. Great communication, punctual and produced high standard results despite some awkward access. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with and we will look no further when we next need help with any joinery or related work. Lechyd da, Iwan!
Iwan James Joinery managed the manufacture and supply of replacement doors / windows at our house in Ashover, Chesterfield. It was a pleasure to deal with someone who takes a great deal of pride in the workmanship he provides. The doors /windows are in a property built in 1700, so it was important that the replacements were 'like for like'. Whilst he was working on the door / window replacement, I asked if he could help with problems we have with gutters and fascia's. He has helped with advice and recommendations to rectify long standing problems and will fit new gutters, brackets and boards. I would 100% recommend Iwan to other people and will use him for any work we have at our home. He is also a very nice gentleman.
We changed the whole of our downstairs door configuration including changing some fixed panels for new doors. Iwan did us an excellent job including successfully overcoming some logistical problems that the job threw up. We would recommend him as a man of integrity, ability and trust.
Recently, Iwan completed making some bespoke under stair storage cupboards for us. From the initial design, through to completion, he fully comprehended the brief and made valuable suggestions and design modifications throughout the process. The result is truly superb and both my wife and I are genuinely delighted, as the outcome has far exceeded our expectations. Iwan is a very accomplished craftsman and his attention to detail was most impressive. We felt that the price was fair for such a project and we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending his services to future, potential customers.
Iwan fitted worktops for us in a kitchen with some very awkward, non-square corners. He was very professional, a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job. We were very impressed with the quality of his work and would definitely recommend him.
Iwan fitted a wooden worktop onto our kitchen units. He worked steadily and efficiently - I was especially impressed with the pride he took in his work, and how he identified how a lack of thoroughness in fitting the original unit could lead to his workmanship being compromised. Iwan disassembled some of the unit - making it right before he cut and fitted the worktop into place - did this without charging extra. Highly recommended!
Iwan charged a fair price for good quality work and was very helpful with mistakes made by my suppliers
Iwan has removed and replaced our worktops, wall and floor tiles and arranged a plumber to install new sink taps and gas hob. His standard of work is outstanding and attention to detail is second to none. I cannot praise him highly enough for the care he has taken to get everything just right including a courtesy visit a few days later to make sure we were happy with everything. My old kitchen looks like new again thanks to his skill. I will most definitely be contacting Iwan again next time we need some work doing and I'll happily recommend him to my family and friends. He's a lovely man and really knows his trade. A rare find!
Iwan was fantastic from start to finish. Fitted a new kitchen and did tiling, all work was done to a very high standard at a very good price nothing was to much trouble. Can't recommend Iwan enough and will definitely be using him again.
Iwan did an excellent job fitting our oak floor, he was friendly, considerate and arrived on time. Nothing was too much trouble and he was a pleasure to have in our home.
Iwan has just repaired and erected an Amdega cedar wood summerhouse for me. It was a very fiddly job being a second hand ebay purchase, so it came with no instructions or fixings and several pieces were missing or rotten. It was hexagonal too so not straightforward. I thought it would end up lying in pieces on the driveway for years as it was such a mess. However, Iwan wasn't phased by the task. Within a week of my making the initial enquiry he'd started work. I now have a wonderful summerhouse that's as good as new, and I'm delighted. Iwan was very professional, friendly and reliable and his pricing was excellent. He took real pride in his work and didn't just say "that'll do". He made sure everything was perfect. I can't recommend him highly enough. It' s such a relief to find someone you can rely on.
Punctual, polite and professional. We used Iwan to fit a work surface in our utility room. It's an odd shape with some odd angles, but Iwan took it in his stride and did a perfect job. Very happy with the work and a nice chap as well. We will not look any where else when we need joinery work in the future. Highly recommended. Thank you.
If you are looking for a kitchen fitter, stop right here. We found it was a big decision to make. However in Iwan James we found a friendly, reliable man who takes pride in his work and is diligent and patient and meticulous to detail. He turns up every day on time with a smile. He is a craftsman and has made a wonderful job of creating our B&Q kitchen from designer plans. He has shaped the kitchen down to the very last detail, tiled the walls and floor and liaised with electricians, plumbers and plasterers. We can not recommend him highly enough and we have asked Iwan to do other jobs for us. Thank you so much Iwan James please contact him - he came straight back to us, and came to see us the very next day, our job was started within a month and finished in two weeks at an easy pace.
Iwan, has just finished laying tiles, fitting skirting board, architrave and hanging 2 new doors in our living room/dining room. And we're thrilled with the result!He's friendly, punctual and takes great care in his work, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any of our family or friends.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Iwan James Joinery, the service we received was fantastic. It is refreshing to find someone who takes such pride in their work and is keen to ensure you as the customer are completely satisfied. Iwan fitted 10 internal oak doors for us and we were so pleased with the service and the attention to detail that we booked him again to tile our kitchen floor. We were extremely happy with both jobs and will definitely be using Iwan again in the future. Reliable, professional, hardworking and pleasant. Thank you again Iwan.
Iwan replaced some of our upstairs flooring and did a very professional and good job.
Iwan has just painted the exterior of our park home, he also pointed some bricks, cleaned out the gutters and recently fitted a new door to our garage.

Iwan recently fitted 8 internal door for us and we are delighted with the work he did. Iwan was so hardworking and reliable that I would have absolutely no problem recommending him to anybody. He left the house neat and tidy and the work he did has been done to a great standard.
