    Kitchen extension
    Highly recommend Jhon began in 01/04/21,a complete renovation back to brick, kitchen extension & loft conversion, & now ready for handover. Quality & care of finishes have been brilliant & exemplary, his team have worked meticulously tidily & organised throughout, Jhon always contactable by text/phone. Whilst project did take longer than anticipated due to factors out of our control which impacted on the completion date- namely a 3rd party glazers (who I do not recommend) Jhon has been excellent in his delivery & attention to detail. The end product is looking stunning. He always carries work with skill and care. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone. I am a bit OCD about perfection, I can truly say he does have excellent workmanship .They definitely know their trade and you get what u pay for +Excellent quality work, Skilled & competent +Trustworthy, Reliable & honest Does what they said they would +Generally completed in a timely manner +Fantastic tiler and plasterer used cannot tell you enough how gorgeous the bathrooms look. +Accommodating to the little extras asked +V Reasonable extras charged. He explains what extras will be chargeable & keeps records - Electrician charges by No. of points pls check how many point u actually have rather than what u think u have as these very quickly add up, more than u may think. - Met with20% increase for overall project cost, to reflect price hikes albeit understandable, though unexpected.

    New kitchen, bathroom, and utility area
    John and his team did a fantastic job on our kitchen and bathroom installation, decorating, patio laying, and utility area remodel which included structural work. From the start, John and team worked incredibly hard, putting in long days six days a week. In contrast to our previous experiences with builders, there was never any day in five weeks when the team didn't turn up. John's drive for quality meant that we never worried about what any aspect of the job would turn out like, as we knew that the team would be always seeking the best possible result whatever the task. John has a team at his fingertips with a wide range of skills and always selected for their quality of work. We were particularly impressed with the standard of joinery and attention to detail on smaller points of decorating - e.g. fittings. Along the way, the team was happy to undertake extra jobs on discussion, but also made clear when it would be better to get someone else with the right skills in. If you are considering John for your building project, don't hesitate to hire him - you will not regret it.

    John is a such professional builder and his company and staff are amazing, they are polite, professional, clean, quick, and honest. I can not request any more from him as everything was done perfectly and on time which I requested. Highly recommend!

    Full renovation of 3 bedroom flat in W9
    John and his team have done an absolute fantastic job for us. We fully gutted and renovated our three bedroom flat in Queens Park over the course of 4.5 months. This included, full rewiring and plumbing, new plastering and ceilings, creating a new bathroom and walking closet, kitchen, plus decorating the whole flat. In addition, John was able to build for us custom furniture, a built in walk in closet and a tailored made kitchen. John and his team are extremely hard working and most importantly, honest. John has strong communication skills and we were constantly in contact via WhatsApp and phone calls and he was always very quick to answer. He is always to the point and never sugar coated anything, which was very useful when you have to make a hundred decisions a day. He provides his expertise input when you need help and gives direction when you have trouble making decisions on design. He is open and honest about timelines and expectations which made it easier to manage the renovation. Renovating your place is probably one of the most stressful thing anyone can do, and having a builder you can trust is the single most important factor to take into account. The work produced was high quality and according to the instructions provided. I cannot recommend John enough and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

    Flat refurbishment
    This is the first flat that I bought and my first experience with builders and flat renovation. Overall a very stressful experience, so having a builder you can trust is really priceless and makes all the difference, especially if you lead a busy life. My flat has 2 bedrooms but was really old inside, so John and his team had to take everything apart and start more or less from scratch. He updated the plumbing, the wiring, installed new floor, fitted new kitchen and bathroom and delivered it in immaculate condition. John is very professional, trustworthy, and someone that you can really trust. He is honest, kind and a genuine person. I have already recommended him for another job and I would wholeheartedly recommend him again. If you are looking for a builder, search no more! Thanks a lot John!

    Plans and permission approved for a 3 meter Side extension
    Dont use this guy. He is a cheater and he told me he has 40 guys working for him but actually he only had 3 guys plus him total 4 workers. He was so eager to get my back extension and side extension and portch. We agreed a contract and he came here for a about a week and took 12000pounds as he said he needed to buy all materials to start my job quick but he run away. Left the site in a big mess and he broke the water pipe when digged the foundation. It looks like a swimming pool.i have pictures of the site and receipts that he took 12000 pounds. I am trying to send him to court!

    Answer from tradesperson:

    Hello all , This has been by far the worst experience I could’ve have with a client . As you can all see we’ve done a few projects through My Builder and the feedbacks received reflected the kind of builders we are ,the amount of hard work ,effort and attention we invest in the work we do . We’ve agreed on a scope of work and a price for this particular project,started work then issues piled in . The lady keep changing the price she wanted to pay saying that she had other builders to do the work cheaper,she keep pushing us to build the extension bigger than what has been approved ,start arguing with neighbors about boundarie line , than she asked me to build a kitchen ,shower,toilet and sink ,all within 5 square meters on the side of the extension and to be disguised as an conservatory,without planing permission ,I politely refused to build that ,finished the stage I was working on ,pack my tools and leave .I have emails and photos to prove this . All the work I have done passed Building Control ,this being confirmed by London Building Control by email . I’ve suggested to bring a estimator on site to resolve the claims that she’s payed to much for the works ,client declined that . I’ll pay more attention on choosing my clients in future . Regards John JBuild
