Testimonials

From our happy clients

William James Scaffolding are the best! Hire them! We did for our whole house and found them reliable, safe, flexible and good engineers at what they do!.... and our Roofers certainly thought so too! It was a pleasure to do business with them. We will certainly hire them again for another job we need next year.

A very professional service from start to finish. Mine was an awkward job but completed extremely well and the workforce were polite and considerate throughout.I've been in the building trade for over fifty years and really do rate Will and his crew!

Graham Game

Absolutely superb. The scaffolding was very complex and put up quickly by extremely knowledgeable, polite, fast working skilled men. There was not a hitch with the work being done and they worked to time, to the minute - literally! No one was held up or delayed and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this excellent firm to do your scaffolding. They do a lot of scaffolding work for Cottam and Northcott Builders in Seaton, who are the most professional first class top of the tree builders that you could wish to employ. I disappeared to Switzerland while all this was carried out and I have to say that they are all worth every single penny. I have not had a moments worry or concern and a big job that was done at great speed and done well. Also, they met their target which is most important and left everything tidy.. You would not know that they had been here. Any potential customer is welcome to contact me for a reference, and better still come and see the work that was carried out. I attach a photograph taken as some of the scaffolding was just about to come down.

We highly recommend William James who provided scaffolding for our cottage. The set up by Michael was great and he went the extra mile. We mainly dealt with Michael and Sam who were very polite and considerate of our neighbours. They did an amazing job.

Jamie McKay

After being let down by a local company, the oldest and probably most well known scaffold company in east Devon, who called me on the morning they were due, after pushing the date bk twice already to tell me I'd be better off finding someone else... tbf, they did me favour. i called Will, he came out within the hour, had it priced by 2pm... then got the job done by the end of the week... to say I'm impressed is a massive understatement. The lads were hardworking, freindly and polite and left no mess at all, even on a wet day when you would expect foot prints. It was a tough job, with poor access and parking but they had it nailed very quickly. I would recommend William James scaffolding in a heart beat. It's who I will use every time from now on.

Chris Trivett

I have used William James scaffolding twice now and each time has been efficient and professional, I would highly recommend this company as the owner and workers go over and above and beyond to accommodate the client and nothing is too much trouble. An absolute pleasure to deal with them as William James provides an old fashioned service which most companies do not understand is important today.

Bernice Selvey

Just had these guys install the scaffolding on my property ready for a solar install. Extremely professional and courteous throughout! Highly recommended and thank you for the great work lads.

Andy B

These guys were extremely helpful and professional. I had been let down and needed scaffolding urgently. They stepped in without fuss and did a sterling job. I have spoken to others who had similar experiences I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Andy M

William James Scaffolding gave a competitive quote for the job. We have had 4 different lots of scaffolding put up/taken down so far, all done in a very efficient, timely, tidy and friendly way. We will definitely be using them for the rest of the work needed and have already recommended them to friends.
