About James
From West End sets to Surrey homes
Trained at RADA and with twentysix years building scenery for theatre, film and television including work on Star Wars-Rise of Skywalker, James brings a scenic constructor's precision and problem-solving to domestic carpentry.
That background means unusual shapes, difficult spaces and tight deadlines are familiar territory. Every commission is treated as a one-off build, because it is.
