Kitchen Installation & Remodelling

Job consisted of my kitchen removal and installation of a Wren quality kitchen. I Didn't like Wren installation price so acquired my own builder.

The Builder quote was exactly what I was willing to pay.
Kitchen arrived first thing in the morning. Removal of old kitchen and taken away same day.
New kitchen installed and electrics completed. Perfect.
The guys were great arrived at 8am to 5pm or later. Clean workers friendly, and conveyed how the installation was going each day. I would recommend David John Builders as an asset. If you need a brilliant builder. Here he is Thanks Dave and Mike 😃

David has done an excellent job replacing a flat garage roof for us.He was very competitive and because of the urgency needed he was able start the work within a week of being contacted. The job was made more difficult due to the poor but was still completed to a very high standard.
I would not hesitate in recommending David.

After a long and frustrating search to find a builder to do a soakway at the front of my house I found Dave. The first amazing thing he did was turn up at the allotted time. He is a can do man and straight away told me he could do the job for me. He came today and did the job in a day such a relief as I have been worried about not being able to find anyone. He has done a very good and thorough job. He read the surveyors report and knew what needed to be done. He is very reliable and honours his commitment. I have a number of other jobs all of which Dave is now going to handle for me. He is a very nice man to deal with and an added bonus is he charges very reasonable prices for his work. I thoroughly recommend him a straightforward and honest builder. More...

Outstanding job from start to finish! Very professional and such speedy responses, kept us in the loop regarding time frames, costing and planning! Dave was so professional and reliable. He did the work within 1 and a half day and also a week earlier than we originally planned which was amazing for us. The workmanship which Dave has carried out has been absolutely outstanding. He completely transformed our home in such a short amount of time and could not recommend him enough! We will be definitely using his services in the near future for our next projects as I wouldn’t want anyone else, as we have had the most positive experience throughout and would only trust David John builders to deliver such a class service. Thank you for everything. More...

General Builders

Dave and team have completed a fantastic refurbishment of my downstairs 1920s house taking an old long alley kitchen and separate living room into one open-plan space with large glass sliding doors, sky lights and installing new kitchen with island. From start to finish I was quoted a fair amount (I had several quotes) and they worked closely with my architect and structural engineer to ensure the project would go smoothly. It was delivered on time and to budget. What really impressed me was that everything they said they would do they did, and anything they thought I could source cheaper they were honest about. They never over-promised and were there every day until the job was done, rain or shine! I ordered a very tricky to install kitchen and they took their time ensuring it was fitted correctly. Cannot fault them and would highly recommend. Whole project took 6 weeks! Very impressed. More...

We are delighted with our new extension which is exactly as we wanted and looks beautiful. There were challenges along the way - undertaking a building project during a COVID pandemic was at times difficult, with delays in supplies and deliveries - but we got there in the end. Happily enjoying the new kitchen now. More...

Initially recommended this company based on initial interactions. Had a couple of discrepancies with the plans which eventually over time got sorted. Submitted the plans which have been rejected because they overhang the boundary line with our next door neighbour. Have then asked if this can be altered so the plans can be resubmitted to be told NO because an alteration has already been done. This was after being told alterations came at no extra cost. This was of course after they had gotten their £700! Conveniently the mobile number doesn’t work, the 0800 number is hung up when answered or rings out and when emailing the company I get the reply “I’m on holiday” and “We’ve done alterations and cannot do anymore”. I strongly recommend that everyone avoids this company AT ALL COSTS if you want to save yourself time, money and stress. I made a mistake, anyone reading this PLEASE DO NIT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE!!!

Hi Jamie, Thanks for your response. I would like to reply with the following. As you have already stated we did do everything you asked for and altered the plans at no extra cost. However when you requested another alteration where you wanted the extension to meet your neighbours we advised aganst it becuase of the potential backlash you may recive from the planners, however you insisted that this is what you wanted, so we made those alterations. if you would like us to redraw the plans back to the original,or similar we would be more than happy to do this for a small nominal fee, I would put a small cost of £150 for this work. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. PS I have been on holiday recently and do not think it is unreasonable to wait for my return to the UK. Dave

Hasn’t completed the work he was contracted to do and has left the site unsafe.

Contracted to knock through from the living room to kitchen, install an RSJ and make good the brickwork beneath the supporting beam. Hasn’t finished this work - brickwork falling out beneath the RSJ, with poor support for the floor above and exterior wall. Has left the site unsafe. We paid him for the work (upon the condition he’d return to complete the job). He then refused to return to finish the job. Has left us in a difficult position, unable to move back into the house with a young kid.

Won’t be recommending him to anyone else and will be reporting him to trading standards. We have asked for a refund.

Hi Beth. Thats not quite correct is it. Your husband asked us to do a partial build as he wanted to keep the costs down and wanted to do a large section of the works himself. He asked us daily what he could do to reduce the bill. Your husband simply tried every excuse possible to not pay. In the end we gave up i believe you cant get blood out of a stone. Some people just dont want to pay for goods and services they order. You still have an outstanding amount of £800 plus. Dave, Andy.Pete and Dion.

Responded first at weekend and before anyone else. Some declined and didn’t respond at all. Sent me quotes within minutes at the weekend. Booked a time slot and came back to me ASAP when I wanted to move forward. Confirmed the appointment and turned up on time and for the time they expected to be here for. Told me I would get the plans within a certain timeframe and delivered. Answered all questions I had and in timely manner too. We’re really chatty, helpful and informative and answered questions when came to quite too. Would definitely recommend. More...

Extremely pleased customer in South Manchester – honest builder and competitively priced.

We found Dave and his team to be honest, reliable, hard-working and a real pleasure to work with on out garage conversion.

We were impressed with the level of communication from Dave and his team throughout the job and also his willingness to go that the extra mile to ensure the job was exactly to our specifications. In the build up to the job commencing Dave was readily available to answer any query we had and was flexible when we changed our designs.

We were so happy with Dave's work and prices that he is commencing on a Sun Room extension to our house in February 2021.

Q&As

A full 10 year guarantee comes with our work, and this is not a guarantee where the customer has to pay and then claim back from an insurance company. Its completed and paid for by us.

Completing a project for a customer who has been previously told by others, " that project can not be done" then we go and do it just how they wanted it.

I was annoyed at bosses ignoring customers wishes.

Becuase we are extremely hard working, reliable and very very competant builders.

I can provide advise and Architectural plans remotely,

I myself wear all relevant PPE when viewing projects and so do my employees.
