    Great quality, reliable, trustworthy, lovely

    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!

    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!

    Garage Conversions

    Excellent work carried out promptly

    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.

    Complete new roof

    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.

    2 bedroom flat refurb & reconfiguration

    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.
