JR Renovations

Roman and his team have just finished a bathroom renovation which was quite extensive as it involved moving several underfloor pipes to allow for a new layout. I also had some work done on creaky stairs that needed support. The whole job was done to an extremely high standard with any problems that occurred quickly being resolved by Roman's clever solutions. I was always kept informed of progress as the work went on. Roman, Matt and Adrian are extremely polite, friendly and trustworthy. I had no concerns about giving them a set of keys for when I was out. At the end of the project, the house was left spotless, they even jet washed the front path that had become dirty with plaster, saw dust, etc. I am so pleased with the work and would not hesitate to recommend Roman and I will certainly use him again for future work.

Having spent most of my working life checking the work of builders I have seen much to make me wary of employing anyone to work in my house. However, advancing years and other interests, together with the sheer scale of the work required to renovate my bathroom led me to search Which? Local. There, the many positive recommendations for the work of JR Renovations helped me overcome my reservations. Roman came around on the same day that I phoned him, made helpful suggestions and soon produced an estimate. His friendly and constructive manner and evident experience gave me still more confidence to go ahead. With the work now completed I have no regrets about choosing this contractor and I am very pleased with the quality of the work ? particularly the wall and floor tiling. Of course there are a few minor things that could have been done even better but overall the work has more than met my expectations. Roman discussed every stage of the work with me as it proceeded, making suggestions but always being prepared to achieve the end result that I wanted. This included some extra work that neither of us had anticipated ? arising from inadequacies in the original house construction. At the end of the job we agreed a reasonable extra payment for this work, although Roman was prepared to stick to his original price if we had not reached an agreement. I have no hesitation in recommending the work of JR Renovations and would confidently use them for similar work in the future.

"Roman and his team did a kitchen/dinner knock-through and a kitchen installation for us and we are so happy with him and his team. Finished on time and on budget

I would echo the positive comments made by other users: Roman is quiet, polite and quick to come up with suggestions for seemingly tricky jobs. His two men were efficient and trustworthy - important if you have to entrust your keys to them.

Roman and his team did a fantastic job on our fitted wardrobe in an unusual shaped space. He was very easy to get hold of before and during the job and kept us up-to-date with the job start date / job progress and stuck to the quote. Standard of finish was excellent. We would certainly use him again for other work.

We did a complete re-model of our bathroom this summer. In addition to installing completely new fittings, the work involved knocking down a wall and building a new one, re-routing plumbing, changing electrics and fixing an ancient extractor fan. The quality of the work and professionalism of Roman and his team was second to none. The finished bathroom looks amazing. We own a warehouse conversion and the fit out is very bespoke - the bathroom was a difficult space to work with. This led to several unexpected challenges cropping up during the work, and the way Roman dealt with them demonstrates the level of skill that he has. For example, the pre-manufactured shower cubicle that the Bathstore sold us (after they measured the space!) did not fit in as the ceiling was too low (we had not had a separate shower before). Roman then designed from scratch for me a bespoke walk in shower room to fit the difficult space. Whilst pulling out the old bathroom we found a redundant factory building waste pipe which passed through our unit and was leaking - before I had got back from work he had been and bought some kind of unit to seal this off and had fitted it. Finally, we discovered some of the otherwise exposed brickwork was painted white which looked awful compared to the rest of the beautifully preserved open brickwork in the bathroom - his team sweated for hours on end removing the paint which was a nightmare job - he even bought a new tool to do it, and they got it done perfectly. Whilst Roman was on site I also got him to fit new plumbing and electrics for a new dishwasher system in the kitchen, replace a tap, and fix a broken pipe to the washing machine - he had no problems with doing this for me, did it swiftly and for a decent price. Roman would communicate with me throughout the course of each day with updates as to progress, for my sign off on the price of any additional items required and generally for a chat - he is a lovely bloke. All work was very reasonably priced and done absolutely on time. I will certainly be using him again.

Last October JR Renovations decorated our kitchen, utility room & bathroom on the ground floor and our first floor bathroom. Roman was recovering from an operation so it was his two workers who did an excellent job throughout. They were always punctual, friendly, tidied up very day and also fixed lights that weren't working, cupboard doors that needed rehanging and replaced an extractor fan in the bathroom. I have lost count of the number of times that we have used Roman and we would never go anywhere else as he always does such excellent work and he is always a pleasure to deal with

I asked Roman to put some coving up in a new extension, to paint this and the ceiling and to render the outside wall of the extension. There were a couple of other smaller jobs but Roman polished those off on his initial visit to discuss my requirements. Despite being busy with a much larger job Roman managed to fit my relatively small job in quickly. It was carried out thoroughly and professionally and the house was left clean and tidy. In addition to this, Roman was a very pleasant person to deal with and listened carefully to all my requirements. I would certainly use Roman's company again.

We have just had excellent work done by Roman and his team both in the roof and in the garden. He was prompt in responding with a quote which was very reasonable and quick to start the work. All was done in a short time with an efficient hard working, pleasant and trustworthy team, so important in a small house with children running around. Adaptations we asked for were fully discussed and quickly implemented with full clean up afterwards. Altogether a professional job and team. We are very pleased with the result and will definitely use them again.

My 105 year old lime plaster ceilings fell down without much warning in both the hallway and living room leaving the lathes in place. Roman and his team replaced with plasterboard and skim very efficiently, leaving the existing lathes in place. Being a ceiling they protected the wallpaper walls and carpet and cleaned the area before leaving. I have since painted both ceilings and can say that to the untrained eye, it is difficult to identify the disaster which occurred. The only work I had to do was to slightly blend in with the coving which had not been damaged when the ceiling fell down. The team worked hard, providing a first class end result and at a reasonable price.
