Recommended: TJ Builders

Just wanted to post about TJ Builders who recently completed some exterior decorating and repair work on the outside of my house.

I got a recommendation for them on this site and decided to go with their quote after some ridiculously high ones (also recs from this site!). They were great, easy to deal with, reliable and clean and tidy. Hassan and Sam were the traders working for me and I was very happy to give them keys to my flat and leave them to it. Took longer to complete than originally quoted but they were hampered by some pretty stormy weather at times.

They've just finished and the before and after is quite something! Am happy to send photos if people want to see.

Hi all,

Had a couple of PM's regarding bad experiences with TJ Builders so thought I would update. Hassan and Sam have a universal thumbs up for decorating and small jobs but for larger works might be best to steer clear.

Wouldn't want people to have a bad experience because of my recommendation.

Thanks

Apologies to resurrect an old thread, but does anyone have any experience of these guys? Looking to get an extension done and thinking of having them in. Thanks.

A note of warning on using TJ Builders - we had a terrible experience with them: they abandoned our bathroom job half finished having pestered us for money throughout the job (which hadn't been agreed in advance). Fortunately we had only paid about 70% when they walked out, but it has taken months to get other firms in to fix and redo their work.

They botched the tiling (many chips up the edging of the metro tiles - clearly cut using the wrong tools) and we had to get a plumber in to redo some of the piping as it was so bad (visible sink feeds set at totally different levels...). They also failed to consult us before tiling the floor, though we had discussed talking it over before they did it - so tiles are now the wrong way around. Plus they set the shower so low it touched our heads! (I'm 5"8.)
