Recommendation for builder - extension and renovation

Recommended Posts

I'd like to recommend Kevin from Y and J Builders for building projects you have at home. My reasons are:


1) he showed fantastic attention to detail and did an absolutely brilliant job to extend and renovate our very old and ramshackle Victorian terrace kitchen. Through Kevin's determination and vision, we have a totally transformed space, and he has had to deal with knocking down supporting walls, putting in new foundations, joists, asbestos removal, replacing lead pipework etc. to make it a top quality job. He also made our garden a far more useable space, which hadn't been part of our original thinking, but it is fantastic and above and beyond what we'd expected. Nothing has fazed him or his team, and he very much demonstrated a 'can do' attitude to our work which we initially thought would be a small project, but turned into something far more complex owing to structural deficiencies in our existing house. He is meticulous, which has also meant the job taking longer, but has definitely been worth it.


2) great communication with us throughout the job from start to finish.


3) hardworking - Kevin was often here well into the evenings and weekends to get the work done.


4) considerate - to our neighbours and our personal space. We have a young child and baby on the way and Kevin did everything he could within the circumstances to accommodate our needs.


5) reliable and trustworthy - Kevin has been at pains to ensure we have been happy with the work, well after we paid our final instalment, which to me is a very good sign.


His team have also been great, top notch decorator and various other contractors whom he works with. Overall, if you want a personal service, with a highly skilled and knowledgeable builder with a great attention to detail and appreciation for quality, we'd recommend Kevin. Details below:

I recommend Kevin and his team. I found them to be personable, professional and flexible and with a genuine sense of pride in the work. They obviously have a lot of experience in the trade, and are generous with sharing helpful tips and ideas in a diplomatic way. Would definitely have them back for further work in the future.

    • I can recommend John Hudson. I've been taking lessons with him since last year and he's very good. He teaches most styles. You can find his contact details on his website - https://www.johnhudsonguitar.co.uk/ 
    • Hello, I was carrying my sleeping toddler on Sunday afternoon (21st April) and must have been pretty distracted and dropped my jumper from my bag. Iwas walking from Crystal Palace and then getting the 363 to The Gardens near Peckham Rye Park. Somewhere I seemed to have lost my favourite green jumper - is bright green, cashmere, from John Lewis, in case anyone spots it. Thank you! (Have phoned the bus garage too).
    • And what would you suggest for cyclists that also flout the rules?  Crush their bikes at the same facility that crushes errant drivers cars ?  Same rules and punishment must  apply to all road users (except runaway horses of course) 
    • I'm looking for a guitar teacher for my 17 year old son. In terms of music that he likes, he says he's interested in learning fingerpicking (although I guess he needs to learn the basics first!). He listens to quite a lot of acoustic guitar stuff as well as indie stuff, has a curious interest in Japanese pop and loves folk too. Ideally we would be looking for someone who could do one-to-one lessons at my flat, which is 5 minutes walk from Honor Oak tube station.
