    Replace and extend patio with Sandstone and brick paving including creating gardens for planting

    Posted 15 March

    The patio project was carried out in a professional manner. Jason and his team worked well together and completed everything within the allotted time. I recommend Jason for this type of building work.

    Highly recommend.

    Posted 19 January

    My patio became unsafe some of the slabs had dropped and I tripped over leaving me with a very bruised face. A. James builders gave me a quote which I was happy with. They lifted all the slabs, leveled the base and relaid the slabs. They returned two days later to fill between the slabs after giving the cement time to set. I was pleased with the work that was done. They cleared up when they were finished. I would recommend them without any hesitation. They arrived on time, worked almost non stop apart when I made them a hot drink. It was particularly cold day.

    New block paving driveway, perimeter walls and steps

    Posted 23 December 2025

    A James Builders took up our existing drive, excavated the site to create a larger drive, built perimeter walls, steps and laid a new drive in block paving. The work was done on time and within budget, with a professional finish. We are pleased with the end result which has given us plenty of parking space and transformed the kerb appeal of our house.

    Absolutely Excellent Company

    Posted 22 December 2025

    Fantastic company and an absolute pleasure to do business with. The quotes were very competitive and the customer service is five star. A James Ltd laid a very large patio in our back garden and returned to install a garden office. On both occasions they completed the work extremely quick, were very tidy and really go the extra mile for their customers to ensure you receive exactly what you require to a very high quality finish. In the process of booking a third job for early in the new year, and in all honesty, we would not even shop around for future projects.
