We have recently moved into our first house and required several bits of building work following a structural engineer report. James responded quickly, turned up on time and got on with the work specified. He installed an RSJ steel beam in place of a bent timber beam, installed a new loft hatch and put in some new structural timber beams in the loft to the engineers specifications. As part of the process we had building control assess the works and they confirmed that they had been done appropriately and to the engineers specifications. Overall we are glad that we found James and plan on contacting him again for future works.

James replaced a cracked stone lintel over my front window with a steel support and new lintel. He was so helpful in assessing the problem and explaining what my options were. The work was completed in good time and to an excellent standard. I am delighted with the whole job and would highly recommend James. Great communication and professional at all times.

James was recommended to us by a structural engineer to help bring two parts of our house back together. James came round to look at the job and-gave a quote quickly in writing. He turned up to do the job when he said he would. He was really considerate regarding noise and mess and was respectful of the fact he was in our home. James was also happy to answer my endless questions and provide recommendations as to next steps to take. Everything was clear and concise and at no point were we left wondering what was happening. I would not hesitate to use James and his company for further work.

James was recommended to us by an engineer we used to carry out a structural defect report on an inadequately supported chimney. James was great throughout the process and liaised with Building Control. The work was complicated by the fact we needed to move an unvented hot water cylinder in order to complete works on the chimney. James found us a certified plumber to complete this work and coordinated the work. The work was completed with minimum fuss. James was helpful throughout the whole process, easily contactable and always got back to us promptly. I'd thoroughly recommend James.

Failed to respond to requests to undertake work.
I originally approached James in March near the start of the pandemic to explore repair work to an open porch. I was impressed by his reviews. His initial reply was friendly and we agreed because of the lockdown that I would approach him again later with details of the work. On 4th May I emailed him a very detailed explanation of the work and asked him when he could come to to look at the job. I had no response to this email so phoned him again in early July asking him to call me. I had no response to that. I would have had no problem at all if he had explained he was too busy or that the work was unsuitable for him. Just ignoring me after our first friendly communication was very aggravating and should not be expected from a Which? Trusted Trader.

James and his team installed a new RSJ to support and fix a crumbling chimney stack. The lower part of had been removed by a previous owner of the house and the rest had not been supported at all. They did an amazing job threading this steel into the house from outside with, literally, millimetre precision to not damage the ceiling below. Rebricking the chimney and putting the external brickwork back. We were very impressed with the work and how well they tidied up after themselves each day. We'd definitely be using them again if we had to do any more major work / repairs to the house.

James managed the building of an Orangery style extension including garden landscaping and patio. Completion of the whole job took a few months. As a builder James did some of the work himself but also managed sub-contractors where necessary including labourers, landscaper, electrician, gas fitter, plasterer, roofer and underfloor heating specialist. The work was completed to a very high standard. Duration was a little longer than expected, but worth it for the quality of the completed structure. The job came in slightly lower than the estimate as James was able to reconsider the design of a couple of elements as work progressed to achieve this. James was happy to return to complete a few small additional jobs once the main work was completed and told us to get in touch if there were any issues. Communication was good throughout. We would certainly recommend James and his team.

James completed the installation of a chimney support (NSJ) and organised for the Council building control officer to visit so the work could be signed off. He was clean, tidy, professional, no hassle. I would not hesitate to use him again for further works.

James came to dig a trial pit for our engineer. He was prompt, polite and did an excellent job. Once the pit had been inspected, they filled it in so well you could hardly tell where it had been.

I needed to have a difficult job done on the house, and was nervous about selecting a tradesman and what outcome I would get. James (Fix Homes) was excellent both with quality of work and level of customer care. Very happy with the job done.

James completed refurbished our downstairs kitchen and morning room, knocking down a wall, putting on a new roof, velux and doors. He sourced replica window frames to take our original stained glass. His quote was competitive and his work was to a very high standard. The finish is excellent and he often came up with ideas and suggestions. Would highly recommend.

James and co fitted our bathroom to an excellent standard, and were very amenable to last minute problems with our supplier and changes to some electrical work. Despite the disruptive nature of the work they kept the job very clean andwhat mess there had to be local to the bathroom. We were pleased with our quote and highly recommend Homefix's professional, reliable and well-managed services.

James completed several jobs for me in my new flat, including removing a false ceiling and an old kitchen, fitting my Kahrs engineered flooring and also organising some additional electrical work.. very happy with all of the work. He was the first contractor I spoke to who had a helpful, 'no problem' attitude. Work was fitted in and completed in really good time. Would definitely recommend.

James installed a lintel above a fireplace for me. Communication was great, the price quoted was fair and I was very pleased with the standard of work. James was also happy to discuss and offer opinions on further work around the house. I will definitely ask James back to do further work on the house.

We needed our back door frame replacing as it was rotten. James came when he said he would and gave us a quote which was cheaper and more comprehensive than others. The work was carried out when promised and James was polite and cheery as he worked carefully, meticulously and tidily. He did not waste time but he did not hurry the job. It was a pleasure to see such workmanship. We chose James having found his company on this site and after reading the reviews already posted. We would heartily recommend Homefix and James.

We looked at three builders for a job involving removing a chimney stack in our bedroom, the chimney at the top of the house, add electricity points, rehang a door and plaster the bedroom so it would be ready for painting, all that within a week before Christmas. James quote was the best value and quality. He had thought through details others did not, came with another person which made use feel he had the capacity to take on a job in a relatively short time. He was also polite and efficient. He did not underestimate the job nor overestimated (some builders told us we would need planning permission for example - they clearly did not have James's experience). Another was short and spoke very little, so we felt we couldn't build a working relationship with them. James was very patient, never pushed us, and always answered our queries good-naturedly. Homefix had the keys to our house, and we felt fine with trusting them. James brought 2 other staff to do the job. They were polite, well-skilled, and nice to work with. They carried the work to our specifications, did it on time, with the minimum of fuss and ÔøΩ70 under the quote. My partner who is an engineer and has an eye for detail was very happy with the quality of the work, including things like tidying the attic where some of the chimney removal work took place. We don't plan for anymore work to the house at this stage, but should we do, we would employ Homefix again now that we have a relationship with them. We highly recommend them to anyone needing a reliable building company.

We decided to use Homefix Construction after reading their reviews on Which Local, We couldn't be happier with the service we received from James and his team. We had never had any building work done before so were a bit apprehensive about everything but James guided us through the whole process and did a great job. I really would recommend him for any building works you need doing. We'll certainly be using him again.

We wanted a garage converting to a dining room based on plans and a new kitchen fitted and contacted James after reading the reviews on 'Which Local'. James and his team carried out the work to a high standard and in a friendly and courteous manner and always turned up when he said they would and continued until the job was finished and kept us informed of progress along the way. Would highly recommend and will use again.
