Report
Employed DJB To build a 2nd storey extensions over an existing ground floor extension (summer 2020). From the initial plans from the architect, DJB were very helpful in providing insight on the plans, and asking me questions on fixtures / fittings etc - before they were even commissioned for the job. The reason I chose DJB in the end is because of the ambiguity in other builders quotes, most just gave me a price and not a detailed list of what was included and what wasn't. At least then I knew there shouldn't be any (financial) surprises. I was quoted a maximum of 12 weeks to complete the work

Report
We enlisted DJB to renovate the whole of the downstairs of our house including a new kitchen, downstairs cloakroom and bathroom upstairs. We were originally told the build would take 8-10 weeks in the end it was 22 weeks. The sub-contractors they used were incredibly unreliable we never knew who was turning up on site and when. Communication was terrible about delays and made the whole process more stressful than it needed to be. The standard of work was ok, but the attention to details was poor. I would not recommend using them.

Report
DJB completed renovation works at our office. They were accommodating with regard to fitting in with our working hours to give least disruption possible. (Mainly weekend work). Work was completed to an excellent standard on time and priced to the quote provided in advance. I highly recommend Dave and his team
