This is now the 4th job James has completed for us - our living room. He has built bespoke tv, wall and surround sound units, which are not only very functional and practical, but also look the bees knees. As usual, his work is to a very high standard, with attention to detail. James is very professional and he never leaves any mess behind him. Couldn't recommend more! (Reviewed August 2021)

James transformed our tired bathroom, into a beautiful, functional, and modern utility room. We're absolutely thrilled with the end result. This is the 3rd job we have asked James to do for us, and we have asked him to do several more yet. He has a real eye for detail, and the skills and equipment to match. What I like about James is that he takes pride in his work, and his attention to detail is brilliant. I have complete faith that the end result will be more than we hoped for. James genuinely cares about his customers. He offers advice and won't try and pull the wool over your eyes. (Reviewed June 2021)

James completely stripped out our old bedroom (doors, architraves, skirting boards, built-in wardrobes, electrics, and plumbing) and installed an en suite, where there had only been a WC before, and made a bespoke wardrobe, with sliding mirror doors. The walls were plastered, a new hard wood floor laid (James even lifted the old floor boards, to repair the squeaking joists below, before laying the new floor). James also decorated throughout. His work is to exacting standards and his eye for detail is second to none. James is a very organised and clean worker. He is always courteous, polite, and professional. We will be using him again for further projects, and recommending him to friends and family. (Reviewed May 2021)

James removed 2 old sheds,and prepared the area,for the installation of a whole side of fencing,2 layers of decking and a pergoda, all in our rear garden.His work was well planned and organised, from start to finish.James is very professional and courteous (our neighbours were having work done in their garden at the same time, and the contractors were 'effing and jeffing' all the time. Not nice to hear!!) James is a very tidy worker,and cleared up after himself after every day he was working here.He communicated throughout the job, and made suggestions, and gave advice. The end result is an amazing contrast, and friends and neighbours have all commented on how lovely it all looks now. We are thrilled, and will definitely use James again for more projects we want doing inside our property. (Reviewed April 2021)

James effectively managed our extension project himself but being proficient in a number of trades from carpentry, plastering walls, laying floors to constructing a GRP flat roof, undertook much of the construction himself. He had support from a few, well trusted group of specialist people to assist him mainly with plumbing, electrics, and bricklaying.
The project has just completed, and the finish is excellent with great attention to detail.
Not only that, but it's been a pleasure to have him work with us as he is a friendly, trustworthy person who is always willing to help.
His rates are at least competitive and given his relationship with local suppliers has been able to save us money and been able to give us a favoured position.
Overall, we can't recommend James too highly. (Reviewed November 2020)

Meticulous workmanship, has high standards, very versatile, good communicator, and great to have working on our extension.
Thoroughly recommended
(Reviewed August 2020)

All work in the bathroom completed with care and good use of past experience. An excellent job and we are very pleased with the result, thank you. (Reviewed June 2020)

Our six month house modernisation program is complete! We couldn't be more pleased. The final ground floor phase consisting of redecoration in the hallway, cloakroom, lounge, dining room and kitchen, together with associated re-flooring concluded an extremely well-planned and carefully executed renovation job from James. James' previous project management skills are obvious in the way he superbly organises his work and that of sub-contractors (he will only engage with other tradesmen who reflect his own high standards). Extremely polite, very friendly, reliable and trustworthy, We will/would highly recommend James to others. We've already booked him for further work for 2021! (Reviewed May 2020)

Immediately prior to the current lockdown James completed the decoration of the lounge and dining room as well as installing new glass panelled doors throughout the ground floor. The transformation from a rather dated 70's look into a modern contemporary style has delivered everything we were hoping.
The continuing quality of James's workmanship is outstanding to such an extent that we have now asked him to quote for further work to be carried out in 2021 and once this phase of the project concludes in the near future. (Reviewed April 2020)

James has worked wonders in modernising our very dated, small ground floor cloakroom. As before, he found solutions to a number of challenges including moving the mains stop cock into a concealed position and boxing in unsightly old pipework, blending it in with the new cloakroom fitted furniture. Excellent carpentry work. (Reviewed March 2020)

Unexpected time pressures has meant James needing to work seven days a week to meet our deadlines. Another refurbishment of an old bathroom on the first floor completed to the same excellent standard.
The work included tiling (James' forte), vinyl tile flooring, carpentry, decorating of walls and woodwork, installing of new bathroom furniture as well as the fitting of new sanitary ware and a corner shower cubicle. (Reviewed March 2020)

Following on from a refurbishment of the top floor of our house, James has now completed the decoration of two bedrooms, landing and stairs and the complete refurbishment of cupboards, wardrobes and doors.
The quality of James' work continues to be of a consistently high standard and his knowledge of suitable solutions, products and suppliers has been of great assistance to us in the renovation of this property.
Throughout the lengthy project, James has worked in a neat, orderly and organised manner and as previously has co-ordinated other top-notch trades people into the workstream as necessary ensuring continuous workflow.
Now onto the family bathroom and then Phase 3. (Reviewed February 2020)

The kitchen work was over a period of time.
The work involved upgrading the kitchen with new doors and work tops using the existing carcasses modifying and strengthening them where necessary.
It also involved coordinating electric and plumbing services.
James is a pleasure to work with, honest, reliable and a good communicator keeping us informed as work progressed. He's also very versatile and can turn his hand to many tasks. (Reviewed February 2020)

He CAN do good work but when he doesn't, as with painting of my period windows he will not take responsibility and then will not take phone calls. Have been in e-mail correspondence for sometime and get nowhere. In the beginning was full of excuses and promises to come but not doing so, now doesn't want to know. This was a large project taking well over a year. and I expected better treatment than this. Be careful, dot every i and cross every t and check the work very carefully before making the final payment.

Response from business:
As a repeat customer who has had several separate jobs done by our company at your property over the course of a year back in 2018, we are sorry to hear that on this occasion you are not happy with the length of time the paintwork has lasted on some of your wooden windows. We have disagreed on a few matters regarding the paintwork and unfortunately, even by involving Trading Standards we have failed to find a resolution to where you the customer are happy with the outcome. (Reviewed February 2020)

James is without doubt the best builder we could have engaged. The quality of his work reflects enjoyment and pride in producing the very best for his clients and himself.
Having initially engaged separate builders for different floors (to expedite modernising a 1970's townhouse) we soon realised our mistake. The project will now take longer but be a price worth paying for what will undoubtedly be a first rate outcome.
James is totally trustworthy and happy to take responsibility. He refers when key decisions are needed but otherwise gets on and happily project manages. If other skillsets are required (e.g. electrician, plasterers), he has contacts for some of the best around. Now to Phase 2!
NB. Chocolate biscuits are also invaluable in maintaining his happy and positive disposition. (Reviewed December 2019)

Fourth time James has done work for us, as usual he was excellent, very tidy and attention detail was superb. He prepared our Georgian property for a new bathroom, took the old out, made all the walls good, fitted bath and panel, re built housing unit to hide some stairs and pipe work, carpentry work was excellent. Tiled the floor which was laid extremely level, finish again was excellent, can't fault his work. (Reviewed November 2019)

James and Bill repaired and renovated our wooden framed windows and, at the same time, replaced the old single-glazed panels with new double-glazed units. This required alterations to the frames in order for them to accept new glass.

We are very pleased with the end result. The work has been completed to a high standard with attention to detail and finish.

James was very organised in his approach and clean and tidy with his work too. We also felt we could trust him in and around our home whether we were there or not. We will definitely be asking him to do more work for us in the future. (Reviewed October 2019)

Prompt, precise and planned. Very polite and reassuring. Pleasant working relationships with me and colleagues/work partners. (Reviewed October 2019)

This was the second time we have used James (along with either Martin or Bill) for phase's 2 & 3 of extensive building works to our home that totalled 9 months continuous work. Having had a stressful experience previously from different builders, who were difficult on many levels, we swapped to James which proved a fantastic decision- what a relief. James is very easy to talk through want you want doing, he shows very high levels of initiative, skill, and knowledge- is very polite, so you can relax and trust in his ability. He is a perfectionist, working to high standards, very careful, very tidy, amazingly clean and proud of his work. He always turned up as expected, is almost too cheerful in a good way- and we expect to use him again for phase 4. Thoroughly thoroughly recommended. (Reviewed October 2019)

James recently sorted out our bathroom pipework that needed to be boxed in but easily accessible again in the future. He spent 5 hours on the work and was so professional every step of the way. I did not need to do any clearing up when finished, the work was to a high standard and completed for the amount of the written estimate given prior to commencement.

I would recommend his skills, commitment to doing a first-class job and his care to anyone needing someone to assist and who, I believe, will not let them down. (Reviewed September 2019)

He completed the work to a very high standard and it was a pleasure to have him in our house.

James and colleague Martin were excellent in every respect - skilled, helpful, tidy, polite, cooperative and generally a pleasure to have around. They completed a fairly complicated project that involved building a new dormer window, creating a new bedroom and bathroom and opening out a lounge/diner. They are workers of the highest calibre and are highly recommended. James always says he likes to do things to the same standard he would use in his own home and it shows. (Reviewed February 2019)

We are so pleased we decided to get James and his team to refit our holiday flat kitchen, we needed someone we could trust to make the right decisions on our behalf as we weren't there. James kept us up to date with lots of photos and phone calls. He managed the site really professionally directing the different workman and also keeping in contact with the neighbours to minimise disruption. The property is Georgian, they removed the old kitchen and prepared the room for the new one which being an old property had lots of quirky things they needed to overcome. With the new floor and walls all ready they fitted the new one beautifully, excellent finish! We are so pleased with the standard and quality of their work. We highly recommend James and look forward to him doing the bathroom there! (Reviewed March 2018)

He is a perfectionist and a good communicator. The work lasted 4 weeks. He made it a stress free process due to his ability to think ahead, be organised and by keeping me informed. He and his cousin Darren were a pleasure to have around the house. The end result is excellent and I have recommended him to friends. (Reviewed February 2017)

JR Property Improvements (James, Ben & Marcus) have completed part of a full refurbishment of my property in Seaford. As I live in London, James kept me informed of progress via daily emails with photographs attached – an excellent service that kept me in touch with every detail every day.

The work has involved: Knocking down internal walls, building internal and external stud walls, installing external cladding, installing external PVC windows, re-plumbing hot and cold water feeds, damp treatment for affected walls, insulating cold external walls, removal of chimney stack over 3 levels and associated steel support work, installation of new ceilings throughout, plastering all newly built and treated walls and ceilings, installing coving, complete conversion of a garage into living space, installation of 2 fully operational bathrooms, tiling, plumbing and door hanging.

The job took 13 weeks in total, which was 3 weeks more than originally planned. I found JR Property Improvement’s adherence to Building Regulations comforting, but occasionally costly. There was a little confusion between building work and decorating work which resulted in some of the detail not being completed. Overall, the work done is of a high standard - A pleasing result from a reliable and competent company. (Reviewed April 2015)
