Testimonials
Ian made a big cabinet for us and we are absolutely thrilled with it. (It took me a week before I could bear to put anything inside as I just kept admiring it!) We were very impressed with the help and advice we received, and his attention to detail. Ian was easy to work with, he was on time, on budget and most importantly of all, produced work of the highest standard.
We have no hesitation in recommending him, and would be delighted to show our cabinet to any potential customers.

We are very pleased with the wardrobes and matching bedside cabinets that Ian has made for our bedroom - they have transformed it. Ian ensured that we saw the drawings of the design we had chosen within a quick timescale. The furniture was made and installed in the timescale that Ian gave us and we were impressed with that. He worked in a very neat and tidy way and made sure that the room was left as he found it. We would recommend him.
Thanks again.

Ian installed our wall unit in April 2010 having designed it with us. We are delighted with the outcome it was exactly what we expected since Ian had been meticulous in handling every aspect of our project. The result is our wonderful unit, which has been admired by many of our family and friends. It now houses many of our treasured possessions.
It is a measure of our complete satisfaction that we have asked Ian to make a dining table and bedside cabinets for us.
Ian is a highly skilled craftsman who is only satisfied when a perfect work of art achieves the full satisfaction of his clients. We recommend him without reserve.
We have just had a study area installed by Ian and would like to write in to express how happy we are with his work. We had an awkward space which needed careful planning and Ian exceeded what we expected from it. The whole project was straightforward and hasslefree, his attention to detail was fantastic and I would therefore have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone who appreciates good workmanship.
Thanks again,

We originally found Ian on the web. A "stab in the dark". What impressed us initially was he appeared interested in what we wanted to do and, most importantly, he responded quickly and efficiently to our quotation queries.
This enthusiasm and efficiency was carried through to the job itself. He proved reliable, punctual, responsive to our queries and sympathetic to our requests. Also, his obvious skill, eye for detail, perfectionism and desire to complete a job ensured we got what we wanted.

Just a few lines to say how very happy we are with the office furniture, wardrobe and dining table you made for us. Your skill and workmanship is in our opinion second to none and therefore we would not hesitate to recommend Bourne and Son to anyone enquiring.
Once again many many thanks.
Sincerely
Patrick
I would like to say how pleased we are with the bookcase and sideboard that you made for my daughter's flat in Southsea.
The careful matching of the timber with that already in the room adds to the impact that the items make in that setting.
It was very satisfying to get furniture made to measure and accurately fitted to the position selected for them.
Many thanks for a project well completed.

We are writing to express our satisfaction in the piece of furniture that you made for our entrance hall. It is exactly what we needed and is constantly admired by all our visitors. The quality of your work is excellent and your service faultless. We would be very happy to recommend you.
By the way if you ever have a new customer who wants to see a sample of your work, we would always be happy to show them our unit.Good luck.
Yours sincerely,

This is to thank you so much for the care you took in stripping down, re-staining and ‘mending’ my father’s bureau.
This was not an expensive antique, but something I wanted to keep purely for sentimental reasons, but you took such great care and I really appreciated it.
Yours sincerely
Anna Dann
