Testimonials

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,

Jill Richards




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




I am delighted to hear of your new website.  We were delighted with the pieces you made for our home under three separate commissions.  Bathroom cabinets, wardrobes and of course the shelving/storage unit in the family room which has been much admired.  The great benefit in having bespoke joinery is that you get the exact fit for books, boxes, cd and audio visual equipment in an arrangement that works for the room-and for us.  I believe we not only saved a huge amount of space with the family room piece, compared to an off the shelf solution, but that we have a crafted unit that will live with the house for many, many years.

I know that some of our friends have also used your services in the past year and like us have found you a pleasure to deal with.  The size of the shelves and wardrobes we wanted were fairly daunting but you worked through the solution rather than compromising.

I hope others will benefit from Bourne and Son and I know that we would like you to create some home office units in the near future.

Best Regards
