Not only did John and his team do very high quality work, but John's communication, paperwork and responsiveness was excellent. He also documented the work with photographs which was useful to share with the other freeholders who weren't on site. I would highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: W810 Chimney and roof renovation
Posted 27 April
I recently hired John to repair my chimney and roof, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, he was down to earth, humble, and approachable. John clearly explained the work, showing honesty and trustworthiness throughout. It’s rare to find someone so reliable in this trade, and I felt at ease knowing the job was in his capable hands. His workmanship was outstanding, and he left everything neat and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John to anyone needing building work. He exceeded my expectations, and I’ll certainly hire him again. A five-star experience – thank you, John!Verified reviewerJob location: HA810 Bay window - leaking roof repair

John was excellent with his communication throughout. We had a leak in the roof above the bay window. John kindly came to assess the problem and then came back to repair the problem. John went above and beyond to fix the problem, sorting out the gutter, adding felt, lead and tiles. I would highly recommend him for any roof works, you will be in excellent hands of a professional.Verified reviewerJob location: HA310 Cement pointing to be replaced and fix stability of sliding doors

John & his team were excellent from quote to final invoice. Clear expectations and plans, good communication throughout and a really tidy, professional job at the end. After 5 years of renovations with various builders, John is probably the best we have worked with.Verified reviewerJob location: NW2
