I pride myself on my work and my ability to work hard and to deadlines. I'm hardworking and always punctual. I have an excellant knowledge of other building trades and know a lot of other qualified tradesmen. I have a good team, but can work equally well alone(on smaller projects.) I have project managed a variety of Jobs and therefore can price work accordingly and within set budgets.

We found John through MyBuilder and from the start he was the front runner. John came and checked the house over and before he gave the quote checked the house again to be sure he gave us as accurate a figure as possible. From that moment on he was always professional, punctual, friendly and helpful.
Our project was large and could’ve been very stressful but John and his whole team kept agro to a minimum and were always respectful of our home. His whole team arrived at 7.50 every morning and by 8am were working hard, regularly not finishing until 5pm. The whole team to a man worked solidly and couldn’t have been more courteous and considerate. The other professionals he brought in, electricians and plumbers were also very helpful.
Our job consisted of a garage demolition, a three-roomed ground floor extension, new porch, new boiler, rear steps, new tiles in the gable and between the bay windows, new guttering, new porch, two rooms knocked together and re-plastered, new windows and French door installation, tiling in a new kitchen and two new bathrooms, a full rewire of the existing house, a bespoke wooden garage door, removal of a front garden wall and full kitchen and bathroom installations. This was a big job lasting in total about 5 months and we never had a cross word with John or any of his team and John was always clear about budget, how much we were spending and how much extra elements would cost if we requested them. He also offered advice on aesthetic choices and guided us when we were unsure.
We would have no hesitation recommending John and his team (Marek, Tony and Darryl) for any interior or exterior work, we already have plenty of other jobs in the pipeline for John and his team to do! If you want a friendly, reliable, professional and trustworthy builder then John Sandars is most definitely your man. He gets full marks from us.
