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.

    • That is clearly not true. I see car drivers breaking the law on an hourly basis - jumping red lights, speeding, not obeying the general rules. Plus they are operating considerably more dangerous machinery and should have a greater responsibility of care to other road uses. You can see who causes the most harm by the stats. 
    • Looking for a suit for an 11 year old. Quite specific, white with black thin stripes.  Trying to replicate Michael Jacksons smooth criminal costume.  A blue linen shirt and white tie.    Thank you !!!!!!!
    • A quick Google found this, amongst other things: "Social impact models are frameworks or approaches that guide how organizations or initiatives address social or environmental problems."
    • "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck" comes to mind Unfortunately, a large number of cyclists do exhibit selfish amd anti social behaviour which, regardless of how many good cyclists there are, is seen as the norm.  It's a bit like one car driver jumping a red light and all car drivers getting tarred by the same brush. Perception is the issue and if cyclists all obeyed the rules, everyone would be less anti them but unfortunately that isn't the case 🤔
