AM Builders

Jimmy was absolutely outstanding, and his crew of workers were equally impressive. My large three-bedroom house was in a terrible state most rooms had damp, the upstairs ceiling was inverted and looked ready to collapse, stair rails were broken, and the double cellar was filled floor to ceiling with rubbish. The property was completely dilapidated and needed a full renovation. Jimmy started in early July and, incredibly, completed everything by the end of the month. He gutted the entire house in a week and carried out a complete transformation: new roof, full electrical rewire, new kitchen and bathroom, fire doors all finished to a high standard. His team worked tirelessly, were highly skilled, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. Jimmy was professional, listened to what I wanted, and delivered beyond expectations. He was fairly priced and completely committed from start to finish. I highly recommend Jimmy and his brilliant team.

Jimmy and his team were excellent. From initial quotes/discussions, through planning and the job itself there was clear communications and full transparency. Quote was accurate but more so the quality and pace of work was second to none. Despite some unexpected challenges on the job they finished ahead of schedule. We knocked put a wall, redid electrics, installed a new boiler and kitchen. Everything was done to a high standard. The best bit is it was stress free - Jimmy managed everything including all the details. His team is polite, hardworking and committed. Highly recommend Jimmy and his team. Will use them again for next 2 projects.

Following our recent kitchen renovation, we can't recommend Jimmy and his team highly enough. This was, without a doubt, one of the least stressful experiences I have had with tradespeople, with Jimmy and the team full of experience and knowledge. Jimmy took charge of everything and just delivered. Our renovation required an unexpected rewire, which, as soon as identified, Jimmy took us through what was needed, why and how. As soon as the okay was given, the team took that on top of the kitchen fitout without a second thought. Each day saw progress and the kitchen was left in a clean and tidy state at the end of each day, as was the garden where they were working. If Jimmy says he is going to do something, he will do it, whether that is at a time or day the team will be there, or getting the right accessories for the job. We are thrilled with the results, and it is such a transformation of what we originally had. Everyone who has so far seen the end results has been impressed, and we have recommended his services without a second thought.

We recently had an extensive new kitchen move, utility area and downstairs cloakroom created by Jimmy and his team. From the very first contact, which I had an extremely prompt and different experience from the anonymous reviewer on 26/04/2025, Jimmy was both very professional and friendly, as were all of his team. Quoted 5-7 weeks for the works which included taking down walls and redirecting drainage to say the least. Job was completed in 5 weeks and to such a high standard we are delighted! Had a few unexpected surprises along the way, lack of lintel in supporting wall was one, but Jimmy took them all in his stride and rectified any issue promptly and efficiently. His team were amazing and very helpful, even dealing with our dog when we couldn't be there to ensure he was safe from the works being done. The team always turned up on time and cleared up each day before they left. I personally could not be happier with the finished job. We will definitely use again for any future works and I would happily recommend them if you are looking for efficient, friendly builders with great work ethic and excellent standards. Thanks Jimmy and please pass it on to all your team!!!

Agreed on a job and price, then stopped answering phone calls and messages. Wasted my time. Very disappointed.

The AM Builders Engineer came to service a Worcester Greenstar 2000 boiler. He was most helpful and thorough, and also corrected some errors not addressed by the company which did the previous service. The service charge was as notified and I very much appreciated his work and valuable advice.

AM builders did some structural alterations to my property for me. This included removing of a chimney breast and installing support brackets for the chimney stack, removal of two load bearing walls and installing two RSJ's as well as opening a new window and bricking up a couple of old windows. They got all of this signed off by Building Control for me. I found AM builders really easy to deal with. They were super fast at providing a quotation and really clear and transparent about the work they would do. I also added some extra work after the quote and before they started work which was no problem. Towards the end of the job i asked them to put up some stud walls for me and to soundproof a wall adjoining the neighbouring property which they were really accommodating of and gave me a quick and reasonable price. They finished the work ahead of schedule and on budget, and as i mentioned, even did some extra work for me. This is the first time I have done any building work of this scale so was I a little nervous but AM builders were really friendly and easy to work with and I appreciated the transparency and directness so there was no confusion and everyone was clear about what was happening. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will be getting them back to do my extension.

AM builders did a very good job renovating our house. Their strength is that they took the structural work very seriously, ensuring they liaised thoroughly with all other relevant professionals including structural engineers and building control until they were 100% happy with the plans in place. This allowed us to feel the project was in safe hands which was our utmost priority and the reason for which we are most grateful to have gone ahead with AM builders to undertake the work. All workers were ready from the day that we agreed to start and often arrived early in the morning to ensure work was completed as agreed. Despite difficult weather conditions at times, the roofing work was undertaken in a timely and efficient manner. A strong attribute of the company is their availability to discuss any questions or issues with the lead at any point. This included evenings and weekends if required to ensure we had our questions answered and were happy with progress. Overall, a reliable company who can be trusted to deliver good quality work safely and on time.

We had a an amazing experience working with Jimmy and his team. Very through, efficient and time management was on point. Every little concern of ours was handled and the adjusts were made without a second thought in mind. We was extremely happy with the customer service Jimmy and his team had provided. We didnt have to worry doing any running around if anything was missing - Jimmy handled everything from the smallest to the biggest issue. My kitchen was left clean and tidy ready to use as soon as they left. I would definitely be using AM builders again! For anyone reading this you wouldnt regret this either. I wish there was a way to give you more than 5 stars on here as id definitely wouldve been doing so! Thanks Jimmy for creating the kitchen of my dreams, words cannot explain how easy you made the process look and the achieve the final outcome. Your attention to detail to everything makes it look so effortless.

Jimmy and his team undertook an extensive remodelling of the downstairs area of my house and courtyard garden. I’d had a few quotes before selecting AM Builders but the thing that really won it for me was their time quote. Others were quoting 3-4 months whereas Jimmy was quoting 6 weeks. In the end the build took 7 weeks. The builders were here every day between 7.30-8.30 am and they worked very hard. The build included: New kitchen with UFH New position for sink New roof above kitchen with skylight A lean-to New decking and tiling in the garden Carpentry in the living room Moving the boiler and washing machine Budget-wise the build went 10% over the quote due to me needing a new roof (discovered once the ceiling was removed), a new fuse box (the current one didn’t have enough room for the extra fuses needed) and a new soil pipe. The standard of work was not compromised in the speed in which they completed it. The finish is very good. Painting was included in the quote so it felt very nice to have a finished house to enjoy at the end of the build. They even put up a few shelves and extras for me. After the build was completed I realised my dishwasher didn’t work. I ordered a new one and Jimmy sent his plumber over to remove and fit the new dishwasher free of charge. The plumber also kindly fitted a water filter for me and finished a few other jobs. The aftercare has been very good. I would recommend AM builders to others. Especially if you want a job done quickly!

Jimmy and his team removed our old kitchen and fitted a new one, they did a great job and actually completed the job in less than the time quoted, would not hesitate to use again. AM builders is a full service company and Jimmy doesn't sign the job off until you are completely happy with everything. Would definitely recommend them.

I have used AM Builders previously and was happy to use them again. They are always friendly and make useful suggestions without being pushy. This time I needed a complete replacement of my bathroom as it needed to be made suitable for someone with mobility issues. They replaced the 90 year old plaster which was hanging on by a thread, fitted a new toilet, power shower, basin, tiles and some grab rails. The shower tray is now just 15mm (half an inch) above the floor so is easy to step into. The room is so much more accessible now. We also had the door replaced with a sliding door as the bathroom is tiny and is now so much easier to get into. They completed the work in time and I am happy with the results.

I engaged AM Builders to make my dad's ground floor area into a more accessible living room, kitchen and bedroom with an accessible toilet. Due to a lack of time on my part, I could only give them a loose idea of what was required. They did everything requested and made some helpful suggestions without trying to force them on me. I changed some of my original request when it became clear my dad's needs had changed, and they took the extra work in their stride. Throughout the process, the team arrived every morning as agreed, were friendly, easy to get on with and clearly knew what they were doing. All the work has been completed to a very good standard, on time and on budget. I would happily use them again.

Jimmy and his team completely refurbished an entire property for me. This involved structual work including new support beams, door openings as well as repositioning of the kitchen. The project included the complete strip out and reinstallation of plumbing (new boiler, radiators and pipework), electrics (new cabling, sockets, lighting, smoke detectors), new kitchen (new units, gas installation and appliances) as well as bathroom (tiling, bath/shower, sanitary ware). Jimmy and his team were excellent. The quality of their work was outstanding, they took great pride in their respective trades. Communication was excellent, the team were very accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy. A great sense of humour was a bonus! The project finished on schedule. I was always informed of things to anticipate ie sourcing items, deadlines and logistics. I felt that my property was in safe hands. Jimmy's mantra of 'if we're going to do it, let's do it properly' was always reassuring. I was thrilled with the quality of the finish and any issues that were raised along the way were always addressed promptly. A very happy customer.

We are new to the area and bought a house knowing it would need work. AM builders were recommended by our designer. We were given details of another recent customer and she vouched for the quality of Jimmy's work, and their project was impressive. Jimmy and his crew started with us in late April: they opened through from the kitchen to dining room, repaired sagging joists, insulated under the entire ground floor, installed underfloor heating in the kitchen, took out an old toilet and installed a new cloakroom / shower room, made openings for new windows to be installed, re-tiled the entire floor and redecorated - all in about 5 weeks. The standard of workmanship was impeccable, they kept in touch and made decision making easy, their costs were entirely reasonable and they were a pleasure to work with. As the title says, we can't recommend highly enough.

We used A M Builders because they can do everything we needed and at a reasonable price. Jimmy gave us some good ideas and advice. Jimmy & his team gutted our bathroom first, then tiled our walls and floor and around our window frame. Then fitted a new shower unit, re plumbed everything & fitted new sink & toilet & rad etc. Jimmy & his team then started on our Kitchen as we wanted a kitchen diner. They knocked down our partition wall and closed of a no longer needed doorway. Then took ceiling down & insulated & re plastered, levelled the flooring & one wall, then re plastered throughout. Then started on the plumbing side and took old gas pipes out & fitted new piping for electric appliances. Then tiled our floor throughout and fitted us a new separate downstairs toilet new tiling & small sink. Then Fitted out new kitchen units & rad, sink etc and decorated for a fantastic finish. I would highly recommend Jimmy and his hardworking team to anyone.

This is my second time working with Jimmy on a complete refurbishment of a terraced house. We got our house back after a years-long ordeal with our previous tenants where we did not have access to the property for 7 years. We were horrified at what we found in the house; dangerous building work, plumbing and electrics; an unauthorised loft conversion; failing guttering; damp; and a garden that had been used as a dump for scrap metal from the surrounding area. The day we got the keys back we couldn't believe how much work it was going to take to get the house back into a habitable condition. However, having worked with Jimmy on a similar project the year prior, we felt confident that we would get the best result for the fairest price in the quickest time. In under two months Jimmy and his team have completely transformed the house into a beautiful, bright family home. It has been completely re-plumbed, re-wired, re-floored, re-decorated and fitted with a brand new modern kitchen and bathroom. Jimmy also created a great new outdoor space for us, amongst countless other smaller jobs that he does with the customer always at the forefront of his mind. Builders don't come more hard-working or trustworthy than Jimmy - you will be lucky to work with him.

We're delighted to strongly recomend Jimmy and his team who recently completed a substantial refurbichment of our home in Forest Gate including structural work to the rear, new kitchen and two new bathrooms. We're really happy with all the work they've done, they were great value and progressed the project very rapidly. The were also very tidy, clean and careful with everything they did. 10/10 overall. Look no further, accept no imitations, Jimmy is the man for you.

Having recently purchased a new house, we wanted to use a builder that could offer us a ‘one stop shop’ rather than using lots of different traders. We decided on using a&m builders as they could offer us everything we needed including plumbing, electrical work, knocking down walls, decoration, laying floors and a kitchen installation. We had direct contact with a very personable chap called Jimmy. He was straight talking and very knowledgeable. Despite us wanting several changes as the commenced, he was very accommodating and I cannot speak highly enough of him or his company. I highly recommend this company as their work is of the highest quality whilst also being very competitively priced.

Really recommend Jimmy and his team. When we bought our house in Forest Gate it was falling apart. They completed a full refurbishment -stripped out the house, modified the downstairs layout to make it open plan and changed the upstairs layout (from 5 bedrooms to 3 bedrooms), made large structural changes including installing steels to reinforce the basement, and above new openings to fit bifolding doors. They also, re-plumbed, re-wired, fitted a new boiler, a new kitchen and bathroom, plastered all walls, repaired the guttering, fit new flooring throughout, insulated the loft and basement, and decorated to a very high standard. The work was done incredibly quickly (done in 10 weeks) which are so grateful for - sometimes we would turn up and there would be 8 workers on site. Jimmy was always available to discuss the work (any time night and day) and gave us lots of great ideas to simplify the work which saved us money in the long run.

Fantastic company. I would have no hesitation at all to recommend AM Builders. They recently completed a full refurbishment of our property in East Ham and the project was completed to an incredibly high standard. They stripped out the house, re-plumbed, re-wired, fitted a new boiler, repaired damage to the walls, refit a brand new kitchen and bathroom, plastered all walls, repaired the guttering, fit new flooring throughout, insulated the loft, took care of repointing and decorated to a very high standard. When we met with them to discuss the project they straight away they gave us new ideas and spotted things that we were unaware of. Throughout the process they were very communicative and kept us in the loop, spotting any issues early on and either advising us or going ahead with our requests as and when they came up. The team are highly skilled and very efficient, the project was actually completed slightly ahead of schedule which has hardly ever been the case in my experience. Jimmy always puts the customer first and has helped us achieve exactly the desired outcome for our house. In fact we’ve already booked in for another project with them in the new year.

AM builders completed a number of jobs at my parent's place including a brand-new kitchen, reinforcing a party wall, electrics update, and basement damp proofing with a number of other jobs. Throughout the various projects, Jimmy and his team were professional and efficient. They found solutions to challenges and we felt our home was in good hands. I would highly recommend AM Builders for quality workmanship.

My central heating boiler was 35 years old and having broken down twice in recent months, I was increasingly concerned that it would not last another winter. I had recently used AM Builders for a range of building works at my house, and having been impressed by the results, and realising that they also offered gas installation services, I asked them to quote for supplying a new boiler etc. Jimmy of AM Builders quickly got back to me, and having accepted his quote, he speedily sourced a new Vaillant boiler and arranged for its installation. The boiler was duly fitted with a new flue and magnetic filter, a new room thermostat was provided, and the radiators were given a power flush. As a result, I have an energy-efficient boiler, which will hopefully help with heating bills, and radiators which work more efficiently than they have done for some time. The work also involved the removal of water tanks, so no more worries about large quantities of water in my loft during cold winters and the removal of the hot water cylinder from a bedroom has given me much needed space in that room. As before when I used AM Builders, I was pleased by their speed, efficiency, and helpfulness.

Jimmy of AM Builders and his team recently undertook extensive and very necessary work at my house consisting of: replacement of flat roof on extension; replacement/cleaning out of guttering to whole house; clearance of overgrown garden; conversion of bathroom to wet room; tiling and redecoration of adjacent lobby; new drainage system; fitting of vinyl flooring in morning room, hallway, lounge and front bedroom; remedial work to damp in morning room, plus redecoration and fitting of new units in this room; repainting of front bedroom, hallway and stairs. Jimmy adhered to the start date he had given me for this work, and estimated it would take 3-4 weeks. His workmen always arrived before 8.00 am, worked hard and were polite and helpful. Of the various estimates I received for this work, Jimmy's was very reasonable. That, in the end, his estimate was exceeded was because additional work was added, at my request. Despite this extra work, everything was completed within 4 weeks.

After being let down previously by so called builders, I rang AM Builders number from which trusted traders, Jimmy came round, he was very friendly and helpful and really knows his stuff, he and his team was polite and friendly and started work at 8 every morning, always tidied up after themselves and, and now got the bathroom I dreamed of, and I can't thank them enough, I will be contacting them later to have a new kitchen.
