Cheal Concepts Ltd T/A The DIY Doctors

Complete bathroom refurb which included good suggestions from James (on ventilation, lighting, switch positions). When the old tiles were removed the plaster condition was very poor, but rather than bodge it to keep within quote he was open about the extra work needed which we agreed. James was good at liaising with other tradesmen (plasterer, floor fitters) to make sure jobs were done in the right order without loss of time. Polite and easy to communicate with when not on-site, so important in these tricky times. Someone you can definitely rely on. And the bathroom is just as we hoped for!

From start to finish our bathroom fitter communicated with us. He went above and beyond our expectations. He ensured all carpets were covered and treated our home with utter respect. His work was beautifully executed. He gave us options where he could and explained in depth his professional opinions. We trusted him 100%. The finished product is beautiful. His skill and patience are second to none. We would highly recommend Jimmy.

Had James in to completely refit a bathroom - completed to a high spec / high quality finish. Attention to detail impressive. So pleased we asked him to quote for work we needed doing in kitchen (spotlights, under cabinet lights and additional electric points) which he priced and agreed to do. Again, delighted with the job.

James quoted for the work and offered a comprehensive refurbishment of the bathroom of this rental property. The works started within a few weeks which was helpful and was completed to a very high standard. All the waste and rubble was taken away and the property was left in immaculate condition. The tenants were very happy with the conduct of James and his team and I would highly recommend James for bathroom refurbishment work. Excellent work. 👍👍

James did an amazing job transforming our old shower room into a proper bathroom. He offered helpful suggestions, really prompt replies to queries and the work was completed with a thoroughly professional service. We are very grateful and would definitely recommend!

James fitted our new bathroom, and plastered and painted another room and fitted a new radiator. The plumbing from the old bathroom was awkwardly done but James did a great job to get everything in around it. He also made some helpful suggestions for things we hadn't thought of. He was careful and thorough with the work and came back promptly to fix a small problem we had. He was also polite and friendly, and we felt comfortable having him working in the house. The bathroom looks great. I would recommend his company.

Finding someone to do a small job and do it well, is in my experience an uphill battle. When I found the DIY Doctors and their excellent reviews on this website I was delighted. I contacted James and arranged for him to come to vent my cooker hood through an external wall. James was very polite, explained exactly what he was going to do and completed the work very efficiently. I will definitely use his company again.

Contacted DIY doctors and James came to do a few jobs for us before we went up for sale. Professional friendly and down to earth. Had a tricky and unique back door step situation and James was thorough and practical giving us advice on a solution that would be long lasting. He came back to paint the house externally and fix a couple of things and the work was to a high standard. Asked him to come back to put another coat on the house at the front which he obliged and it was easy to negotiate a price based on the work involved which had turned out to be more time (and paint) than predicted.

James Cheal replaced the six(!)-year-old bathroom that had increasingly given us nothing but Problems Galore, culminating in water coming through the lighting in the kitchen below – everything had been done badly by a complete cowboy subcontracted by a bathroom shop. It had all looked very nice initially, but gradually revealed itself as a truly shoddy job in every respect. James did a whole load of “invisible” work, stripping out layers of tiling, replacing pipework, plastering, replacing flooring that was unsupported, damaged or rotted by hidden leakage etc, so that the job was 100% done to his standards, no compromising with the previous rubbish of Jesse James. We are therefore entirely confident that his work will stand the test of time. James was tremendously hard-working, and even came up with good ideas that we were pleased to adopt. He also recommended an excellent bathroom supplier to use. James is multi-skilled - plumbing, plastering, tiling, flooring etc. - and takes an obvious pride in his work, doing everything to the highest standard. He is meticulous, thorough and painstaking, and is clearly a genuine, honest man. We now have a beautiful finished product that is a pleasure to use and, most importantly, we have the comfort of knowing that it is done correctly too, not a nightmare waiting to unfold. We were lucky to hit on James for the job, and would not hesitate to use his services again – we cannot recommend him highly enough. If only we'd used him before

James and the team were extremely professional from start to finish. The attention to detail through planning, delivery and completion was excellent as was the quality of finish. The team were totally trust worthy - we even felt confident enough to leave our keys with them and go on holiday! The project was completed on time and on budget. Thank you James.
