10 Great quality, reliable, trustworthy, lovely
Posted 15 January
James and Dyl are brilliant. They are really helpful, straightforward and sorted out loads of unforeseen issues with no fuss. Really great quality work and very easy and quick to communicate. They redeveloped two bedrooms into eaves, velux, new bathroom and new kitchen. Also, James sorted out a non- related southern water sewer crisis for me when he didn’t have to. Thanks guys!Verified reviewerJob location: BN310 Reliable, fair price, top quality.

James reformatted our upstairs. He came in on quote, was quick, and did a great job. There were no issues, and he completed the job on time. Very pleased with his work and will use him again!Verified reviewerJob location: BN10- RRichard B

Excellent work on our garage roof carried out on the agreed date and to the agreed price. James also found a hole where the main roof met the garage roof and fixed this at no extra cost. Would use again without hesitation.Verified reviewerJob location: BN2 10 Complete new roof
Posted 03 July 2025
We were recommended to hire James and his team to replace our roof. The quality of work has been first class, we are delighted with the finish. Very transparent and James resolved issues when they arose with no fuss. Great attitude and 10/10 for the quality of his work. Thoroughly recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: BN1010 2 bedroom flat refurb & reconfiguration
Posted 06 June 2025
James reconfigured a 2 bedroom flat, moving the bathroom and kitchen to new locations. He installed new electrics and a new boiler. He was easy to deal with, excellent communication and was able to deal effectively with building control and arrange all necessary post build certificates. He dealt with and managed the neighbours excellently so no-one was upset with the disruption. Finally, once the project was finished and I was able to inspect the site he was more than happy to return and attend to any snagging. I would 100% recommend James and will be using him on future projects.Verified reviewerJob location: BN210 Kitchen Renovation

Another excellent job by James and his team. A complete Kitchen refit, including stripping out old cupboards ,flooring and tiles , and replacing with a modern Howdens kitchen, including worktops , oven ,extractor etc. Very happy with quality of finish and workmanship , James goes that extra mile to do a quality job and his professionalism shows in the finished job. Would not hesitate to recommend him . Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you James.Verified reviewerJob location: BN10
