Wayne
We had a brand new patio complete with sleepers installed in our back garden. The work carried out was at a very high standard and it’s truly transformed the space.
Lorraine
Tiled roof circa 1907 in conservation area needed substantial repairs with lead flashing. Much work needed on decomposing cement and chimney brickwork and replacing chimneys that had been improperly removed way back in the past and had not been properly covered. James provided photographic evidence, clear estimates of work and a schedule that included scaffolding provided by an excellent scaffolder. At conclusion of work, scaffolding removed within two days. All building debris neatly removed as work progressed. A really professional efficient job. More...

James was professional, courteous, and communicative throughout the entire process. He delivered on every commitment, from providing a quote on time, to arriving as scheduled and completing all within a short timeframe. The survey he conducted was thorough, and I’m extremely satisfied with the service. I would highly recommend without hesitation. More...
Danielle
We are hugely grateful to James and his team for their fantastic work on our Kitchen Diner. From the outset James was always on-hand to offer advice and help coordinate the project to a smooth and successful completion. On-time, efficient and reliable, all work was conducted to an exceptionally high standard. James was easy to talk to, understanding and accommodating keeping us informed and advising at each step. We are extremely happy with the completed renovation and based on this experience will be calling upon James again in the future. We have recommended James to family and friends. More...
Liam
James did an amazing job redecorating our flat. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding, and his reliability and communication were too. No task was too big or small for him, and he was always available to talk to when necessary. We will definitely be using him again in future! More...
Marcia
I couldn’t have been happier with my experience with Britannia property solutions. It started with a brief (free) evaluation where James actually listened to what I wanted. I have a second floor flat and access to the garden is difficult. Britannia property solutions took it completely in their stride, moving through the flat with minimal disruption. The team were hard working, polite and punctual, good natured, self-sufficient and very respectful to my neighbours. The work was carried out to the highest standard There were no hidden costs and the work was completed early. More...
Brenda
Thank you for the fantastic job you did painting my flat! The attention to detail, clean lines, and smooth finish really stands out, and I appreciate the care you took in your work. The colours look perfect, and the space feels fresh and vibrant. Very professional, tidy, and efficient throughout the process. I’ll definitely recommend your services to others and will reach out again for any future projects. Great work More...
Janet steel
I recently had my bathroom refurbished by Britannia property solutions, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and outcome. From the start, communication was excellent, with clear updates and guidance throughout the process. After selecting high-quality products for the renovation, I knew it would require exceptional workmanship—and Britannia property solutions delivered flawlessly. The attention to detail and commitment to a perfect finish were outstanding. The final result exceeded my expectations, and my bathroom now looks absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend More...
Tammy
Really fast and efficient service, so pleased with the speed and quality of the work. James is a lovely, hard working chap who looks after his customers. He really went out of his way to help me with my leaking roof when I was in a real pickle, which I really appreciated. Thank you More...
Elena
James did an excellent job tidying our front and back garden. He provided a competitive quote, had availability within a week of being contacted, arrived on time, was courteous, efficient, tidy and did a really impressive job. Very happy overall and highly recommended! More...
Kiera
My chimney was damaged by high winds but my insurers refused to pay out as the winds were not high enough for it to be classified as “storm damage”. James and his team gave me a prompt estimate and even sent me drone footage of my roof to show what work was needed. They arrived as promised and carried out the work at a competitive price. More...
Brian dalton
We recently had our gutters cleared, not an easy task on a three storey house. We have used James from Britannia property solutions for some time now. Always does an excellent job, is reliable, efficient and personable. The difference with getting your gutters cleared by Britannia property solutions is that you get to see images of before and after so can be assured that a good job has been done. Thoroughly recommend James. More...
Gerrard Dale
I am extremely impressed with James and his team's work in replacing our wooden fence with concrete posts. After enquiring about their services, they promptly arrived the next day and completed the replacement within a single day, which was much faster than other companies had quoted. Their professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. Despite encountering issues with the existing fencing, they were able to come up with innovative solutions to ensure the progress was not disrupted. They maintained a clean area, minimizing any inconvenience to us. More...
Callum
A speedy, professional and competitive quote with only a short wait for the work to be carried out. We are very pleased with the end result.
Shane Jenkins
Thank you to James and his team for their outstanding work in replacing a leaking gutter and deteriorating soffits at my elderly mother's home. Their professionalism, politeness and the use of quality materials exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend. More...
Bill
James is excellent - trustworthy, diligent and communicative. He completed a number of jobs for me - including structural work, kitchen installation, patio laying, and much more - and each one was done professionally, promptly and without fault. His work is of an incredibly high standard, he was always considerate and kept things tidy, and his quote was very competitive. I can’t recommend him highly enough for any works needed. More...
Rihanna
We moved into our 1960's ex-council house a few years ago, the previous residents hadn't touched it for decades so there was a lot of work to do. We are renovating one room at a time as an ongoing project. James has plastered 4 of the rooms so far and each time given us a fair quote, been able to get us booked in quickly and maintained contact in the lead up to the day. He is friendly, professional, punctual and we are extremely happy with the results. Would definitely recommend and we will be in touch for further works. Thank you :) More...
Pauline Murphy
I am incredibly impressed with the results. James demonstrated exceptional skill and professionalism. The attention to detail was impeccable, with clean lines and a flawless finish. The project was completed on time. I couldn't be happier with the transformation of my home. I highly recommend James for any painting needs. More...
Martina
This company was great. I needed some new window hinges fitting on older double glazing as drafts and traffic noise was an issue. Other companies would not carry out any repairs and wanted to sell me new windows. James came out and fitted new hinges at a fraction of the cost giving an instant reduction in traffic noise. Excellent! More...
Marcelo
James was on time and kept us updated. Very polite and informative when explaining issues we had on our roof. The work was carried out immediately and at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be using James again and would highly recommend his services. More...
Roy
I found James on the Nextdoor app, he came recommended, what a great find! Reliable, honest, polite and very hardworking. We originally planned some work to my kitchen which turned into so much more but James was able to complete all the extra work without hesitation . I could not recommend this guy enough! More...
Stacey
Absolutely fantastic! I could not recommend Britannia property solutions more. We bought a Victorian property with major damp issues all across the ground floor and it was evident damp proofing was necessary. James did a thorough, careful and thoughtful survey and then carried out the work very professionally, neatly and to a high standard. The team worked hard to keep the mess to a minimum and they even finished the job earlier than expected. We really appreciated their expert and invaluable advice, not just in terms of the damp, but also about Victorian homes more broadly. 5 star! More...
Bernard
The work provided by BPS has been some of the best work provided to my office since I've started here. 10 years I hadn't had a company as diligent, thoughtful and accommodating as them and the end result was even better than I had imagined when planning the works with them. A mixture of requests as well as asking for their guidance on how a room should look, communication was brilliant and at no stage was I left feeling out the loop. So many services at such a high standard - I couldn't recommended this company enough! More...
Glen Rochdale
James and his team were absolutely fantastic . They carried out major roof repair works and went above and beyond to ensure the works were done to the best possible standards considering the mess it was in originally. James provided a competitive quote and stuck to it. The work carried out was professionally done and on budget. We were given regular updates, videos and pictures of completed work. I would highly recommend Britannia property solutions and will certainly use them again in the future on my other properties. More...
Andy
I needed a few areas of my kitchen replastering, James was quick to come and do a survey and the final price was exactly as he quoted. He was even able to do some extra work for us while here and was very happy to do so. James is extremely kind and well mannered and his workmanship is excellent. We will definitely be using him for any more work we need. More...
Gina
Part of the gutter was slightly disconnected and created a gap through which rain water was falling down. I’m happy with the repair which was carried out by James quickly and professionally.
Tahir
Professional, friendly & knowledgeable. Their quote was reasonable & delivered very promptly. They were reliable & cleaned up. Very impressed & wouldnt hesitate to recommend them. More...
Jack R
James did a fantastic job re-decorating our son’s bedroom. The quality of the work was excellent and James was very professional. He was responsive, turned up when he said he would, took care during the work and left everything clean and tidy. We would highly recommend him and will be using him again for future decorating needs. More...
John
Highly recommend Britannia property solutions. James is very honest, fair priced, and highly skilled. It was refreshing to discover a builder who really cares about his work and ensuring every small detail is perfected. We could not be happier with our new kitchen! Britannia property solutions removed internal walls, fitted RSJs, installed new kitchen, flooring and decorated throughout our ground floor. As an interior designer myself, James found the best solution for each unconventional idea I requested. Everything was completed to an exceptional standard and I would not hesitate to use Britannia property solutions again! More...
Kieran
The BPS team was excellent, from the first survey through to completing the works. The guys onsite were experienced, professional, and very hard working. They also went to great lengths to minimise the mess, which was very much appreciated. A good clean job with no hidden extras. More...
Barney
James has finished painting our new kitchen today - walls and ceilings. Thanks for the great finish and attention to detail and advice around choice of paints. We will be booking James again in the coming weeks for another decorating job. Would highly recommend. More...
Leona
Large Silver Birch tree in back garden needed trimming back as it was overgrown blocking sun in our garden and neighbours. The communication and work done by the team was excellent and would 100% recommend them! More...
Tess
James and beskin have delivered outstanding work at our house! Great attention to detail and very professional in every way. In addition, both are very pleasant people! More...
Gregory hunch
These guys were absolutely brilliant! They quickly and accurately identified the issues with my guttering and sorted them with minimum disruption. Adding to that they were friendly, honest and really keen to do a good job at a fantastic price. They are now my go to company for any similar problems! A huge thank you guys, restored my faith in honest & reliable trades people. More...
Hillary
Roof inspected for insurance purposes. I’m very pleased with the honest report I received from James along with the detailed quotation for necessary repairs.
Will definitely be using James again when in need of similar work.

Pete
I recently contacted James to take a look at my damaged guttering and facia boards. I requested a detailed and itemised quotation and that’s exactly what I got. The work was carried out within the agreed time and on budget. Thanks James More...
Harry kimpston
Outstanding job. We had a bit of an emergency with a skylight window and guttering that fell off. James reacted quickly, gave us a reasonable quote, ordered a new window and installed it within a couple of days. He was reliable, professional and very easy to get on with. We'll certainly go to Britannia property solutions with any roofing issues we have in the future. More...
Farhad
I got some tiles and lead replaced on my roof to stop an ongoing issue I had in my bathroom. All problems solved quickly and professionally by James.
Jessica Clifton
This is the second time I have used James and his team, once for a kitchen renovation and recently for 2x bathrooms, flooring and general painting and decoration. Both times James delivered the project to a very high standard ahead of schedule. The team worked very efficiently and were extremely responsive to any queries and requests. Wouldn't think twice about using Britannia property solutions again. More...
Glen Gleason
We needed a Garage Door extended to 10 foot width and this required installation of a new lintel. Britannia property solutions presented a very professional quote. They listened carefully to me as a non-expert and explained clearly each step of the work. All their workers were very polite, tidy and well organised. Having them do the work was an unexpected pleasure and the final result was excellent and on-budget. More...
Bradley
James fitted a picket fence and gate to match work he had previously done in our garden. Very happy again with the work and price. Would recommend to anyone!
Mario
Torrential rain left us with another leak in our roof, our second in just over 3 weeks. Once again james has come to our rescue. He sourced a reclamation yard for us and phoned ahead to make sure they had spare tiles. He replaced the cracked tiles and got us sorted yet again. Always good communication and always does what he says. Perfect in every way. Thank you. More...
Darren flight
James and Bali were recommended by a family friend, they came across very professional and knowledgable. We gathered a number of quotes for our project and they were somewhat at the higher end in terms of pricing, not by much. They carried out a complete renovation of our family home including a single storey rear extension. Everything from start to finish was smooth and we could not be happier with the finish. Easy to communicate with, good ideas, you can tell that they have been around for a while. Thank you! More...
Tom
Very good and quick in getting back to you from site visit to receiving quote. On time, polite and very knowledgeable. Finished job was excellent, would use again and highly recommend.
Ricardo
Working with James was a real pleasure. All of the decorating work was done to a really high quality and with genuine effort and care (for example, taking time to fill and smooth walls, special paint to deal with damp spots, advising on paint types, dealing with lots of awkward shaped walls and stairways). Every part of the process was clearly explained and while the work was never rushed, it was still all completed quickly. Beyond the work, James was always on time, quick to communicate and just a friendly, joyful bloke to be around. Recommended! More...
Malakia
These guys came to my rescue after a bad experience I had with a dodgy builder. James and his team fixed all the previous builders errors & even helped to resolve other problems, like wobbly tap, cementing rodent holes under the kitchen floor, nothing was a problem. They are very knowledgeable & these guys can pretty much do anything. They worked hard & also gave me good advice. I'm really happy with the excellent job they did & will definitely be using them again. Many thanks. More...
Leon silva
James has been maintaining my home and garden for over 3 years now. I’m always impressed with the quality of his work. I have recommend James to plenty of family and friends over the years.
Garry
James worked very hard on my extension. Im very impressed with his attention to detail and overall finish. I would definitely use James again and would recommend his services to others in need of similar work.
Mary Jewson
James confirmed a problem with a leak was caused by a blocked downpipe. He did a great job of replacing this and the broken front bay window gutters and taking away the old guttering. He also cleaned out our other gutters. Good quality work and good value for money. I would be very happy to seek James’s help again and would recommend him to others. More...
Georgina
James was a pleasure to have working on our exterior painting and gutter clearing. He was polite and worked very hard. The work was carried out to high standards and with great professionalism. He covered all areas with the necessary covering before commencing with any of the work and cleaned up after the job was completed. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. More...
