Fantastic company - Outstanding quality of work
It is my pleasure to submit this review for Property Development Plus Ltd based in Upminster. I first noticed their vans when they were working on my neighbours property. My neighbour was extremely proud to show the work PDP had done including an amazing extension and kitchen installation. Then my other neighbour had Barry complete their bathroom and is getting him back to do their kitchen. She also raved about how great Barry is and I had it in my mind to ask PDP to look at works in my house. I then suffered a sudden escape of water at another house I own whereby all the ceilings fell through and damaged the lighting. I literally did not know what to do as my insurance company just told me to get quotes. Then I remembered the PDP vans and Barry came to the rescue. As a complete gentleman, he gave me a really fair quote, not loaded in any way just because “its insurance” and explained what work was needed in each room and took all the stress away from me. PDP is also a WHICH trusted trader and was trader of the month for December 2020. As I knew the quote was fair and below what others had quoted, I commissioned the work before the insurance pay out as I trusted his price. The standard of his work and his colleagues ( plasterers/ electricians/plumbers) is absolutely outstanding. My ceilings are beautifully finished - I am so delighted. I will definitely be getting Barry to undertake a substantial amount of work at my house including a new bathroom and garage conversion.

Excellent reliable service from start to finish
Barry and his team refurbished our bathroom. We found them reliable, responsive and great to deal with. The quality of workmanship was excellent especially the tiling. Would highly recommend it.

Bathroom refit
We had our bathroom done by Barry and his team. They did a fantastic job and renewed/fixed things in the bathroom I hadn’t asked them to do, but they took the time and really went the extra mile. The most professional tradespeople we’ve ever had working in our home. Will definitely be using Barry and his team again!

Bathroom Refurb
Barry and his team fully refurbished our bathroom and we have nothing but praise for him and all his team. They pulled out the old bathroom suite and old tiles and stripped everything back and started the refurb from scratch. We are absolutely delighted with the finished result. From start to finish they were ultra professional and completed all works to agreed timelines and to a first rate standard. The quality of all the workmanship was excellent and from initial consultation to completion they have been outstanding. Barry is very easy to talk to and always available to offer advice and reassurance. Would highly recommend Barry and his team 100% and will be having him back in a few weeks for refit of en-suite.

Absolutely fantastic workmanship
Barry’s company Property Development Services, have just completed some extensive work for us to retile both our large kitchen floor and our hall, which used a Victorian tile pattern. The work is exceptional. Barry and Tyler did the preparations which were faultless and George the tiler was terrific, nothing was too much trouble and the end product is stunning, even better than the plushest magazine. George is a very gifted tiler and a smashing guy to boot. Everything was thoroughly explained and planned in advance. Barry was everything you would hope for in a builder, honest, reliable, thorough and utterly professional throughout. Thank you Barry, we know who to approach when we have future projects, really appreciate the work you have done for us. Truly great job!

I have a beautiful bathroom!
Barry and his team have installed my perfect bathroom. From initial visit to completion of works I have experienced friendly, skilled service and been offered excellent advice, as needed, throughout the project. The quality of work has been exceptional. PDP are a busy outfit but well worth the wait for an installation slot. There is a reason why they are so busy!

New kitchen
I cannot rate Barry and his team highly enough. From the first consultation, Barry was friendly, responsive, and, knowledgeable so I was happy to wait to be booked in. I can fully understand why they are so busy! From the dismantling of my old kitchen, preparing the electrics, plastering, and installing the new kitchen everything was carried out with care and professionalism. I was absolutely thrilled when Barry suggested moving a radiator, which I thought would have been too big a job to do, so I hadn't previously mentioned it. It allowed me to have the banquette seating I wanted, not only that Barry built the seating for me so I didn't have to wait months for it to be done. The whole team was so accommodating, friendly, and most importantly trustworthy. I had a busy week running in and out and had no problem leaving Barry and the team alone. The job was completed on budget and schedule. I would highly recommend PDP, in fact, my sister has just had her kitchen completed by Barry and his team, straight after mine, and is also thrilled with the finished result. If I have any work carried out in the future Barry will be the first person I contact.

New kitchen, cloakroom and roofing work
Barry and his team were excellent from start to finish. A truly stress-free experience and a pleasure to have in your house. Barry offered advice and guidance at key points that helped us make some critical decisions on the design of the new kitchen. The attention to detail and little extra efforts here and there made them stand out from all previous experiences with tradespersons. It was clear that Barry and every member of his team took great personal pride in what they were doing, and the end result shows this. What started out as a potentially daunting project for us turned out to be a very smooth experience. We will not hesitate to use PDP again.

Fantastic new bathroom and en-suite
Work consisted of gutting of old bathroom & en-suite and complete installation and fit out. Barry and the team are first rate - punctual, clean & tidy, highly skilled and very professional. We were blown away with the transformation. Highly recommended and will definitely use them again.

New family bathroom
We cannot rate the team highly enough. We had a separate toilet and bathroom which we wanted made into one room. It needed to be completely gutted and a wall removed. From the initial site visit nothing was too much trouble even when we changed our mind about the layout. We have a young child and being without a bathroom for 2 weeks was daunting but they made everything completely stress free. Every member of the team was tidy, courteous and highly skilled and the job run exactly to schedule. We need to have our kitchen refurbed next and we will definitely be calling PDP.

Complete refurbishment of bungalow interior
After reading the many favourable reviews on this site I asked to Barry to quote for a complete refurbishment of a bungalow I had recently purchased. I’m pleased I did and very pleased with the outcome of this major project which included a new kitchen, bathroom, complete re-wire, new central heating, re-plastered throughout and new doors and flooring. Each piece of work was detailed in a written quotation with a price that was kept too with no hidden extras or surprises. Although hands-on himself, Barry coordinated highly skilled tradesman for specialist trades such as electricians, heating-engineers, plasters and tilers where needed. I was able to hand over the keys to the property with complete confidence. I would like to thank Barry and his team for their high standard of work and would certainly recommend Property Development Plus.

Excellent, Trustworthy service
We were drawn to this company based upon previous reviews and we were not disappointed. Barry provides an excellent and trustworthy service. Barry and his team replaced my elderly mother’s entire bathroom, installing a walk in quadrant shower with grab rails and wall hung seat, beautifully plastered and tiled ready for decorating. He was very helpful from the first point of contact, throughout, until the work was completed and went beyond expectations. Everyone in the team was prompt, courteous and clean and tidy. Work was completed on time and to budget. We would definitely recommend him and his team.

Fantastic work at an exceptional standard done well within time and budget.
Barry at Property Development Plus is the most trustworthy reliable tradesman I have ever met. He has completed the renovation of a shower room and family bathroom within time and budget and the work is absolutely of the highest standard. He collaborates with other tradesmen to bring the project together (exceptional tiling from George) so you always know what’s planned along the way and there are no issues with any unexpected costs. I love my new bathrooms and would recommend Property Development Plus very highly.

Excellent job
The first Contact with Barry was at the quotation stage for a new fitted kitchen. He listened to our requirements, gave helpful suggestions, explained the time scale for the work, and how he and his team would carry out the work. There was no sales pressure applied. The quotation was provided promptly, any alterations to the plans were discussed, and Barry always asked if we're happy with the plans and had any further questions. A date was agreed to start the work, and a time table provided. as it got close to the date Barry reconfirmed the schedule. Work commenced at the agreed time and date, Barry and the team worked hard, including improvements to the plumbing, gas and electrics and a bespoke cupboard for the heating system. in addition to the kitchen, we asked for new flooring to the entrance hall, which was fitted without any problem. We would thoroughly recommend Property Developments Plus Limited, in fact, we have asked Barry to give us a quote for some more work.

Outstanding!
PDP are all you need, look no further. Barry & his team did an outstanding job transforming our bathroom; it was exactly what we were after. It was also delivered on schedule and in budget. Barry has got a great workforce and it's really not surprising that PDP have won awards! I can't recommend PDP enough to anyone reading this.

Professional, clean, trustworthy
All work completed to the highest standard. Every member of the team was professional, respectful and left everything clean at the end of the day. Personally, to have people in the house that you feel comfortable with is a necessity. A problem with an order (that was our fault) was resolved without any hesitation and we were very grateful for that.

Amazing team for bathroom installation and repairs
Barry and his team fitted a new en-suite and made repairs to our cloakroom which had previously had a leak. Barry is a very busy man and has a waiting list of clients but he is definitely worth the wait and we would call him again without hesitation. All the work was completed as agreed on time and on budget. Despite working in the two smallest rooms in the house in the hottest week in the year none of the team complained. Barry always told us who would be at the property and what jobs were being done each day. He has assembled a great team and each person was a real pleasure to work with. Every single member of the team worked hard to get the best results and it’s no surprise that we are delighted with the result. I just wanted to add a special mention for George the tiler who made a fantastic job of the en-suite but also transformed our ugly cloakroom backsplash thanks to his creativity and skill, it has made such a difference to the room. Also for Dave the plasterer who gets the best finish we have seen, it’s almost a shame it gets covered up. The whole team are solution focused and nothing is too much trouble. They just want to do a great job and get best result for the customer. We are really pleased with their work and would highly recommend them.

New kitchen
I cannot recommend Barry and his team highly enough. From the initial kitchen plans by Richard at Howdens in Romford, who so helpful and efficient throughout, to my finished kitchen I am so very happy. Barry is very personable (as all his team are). He is always at the end of the telephone with any queries I had. I felt safe leaving them in the house when I went here. Everyone worked full on from the minute they were here until they went home. Every step was seamless, from the gutting of the kitchen, skip delivery to the plastering then the delivery of the kitchen, the fitting and all the electrics, plumbing by Tyler, the granite, carpenter work I could go on and on. There was not one hiccup. To say I’m delighted is an understatement. I will be recommending Barry to all my friends and would definitely use him again. Too many names to mention, but I’m happy to say book Barry and his team.

Quality workmanship!
Right from the quotation stage Barry was keen to give ideas and opinions, not just a price. He was more than happy to adjust the work quoted to fit in with our new plans. The quote was fair and competitive and the work schedule agreed (to fit around our holiday!) well in advance. We were also able to take advantage of PDPs relationship with local suppliers with some very welcome discounts when purchasing all of the bathroom fittings. Work started on the date agreed and the prep work ensuring minimum mess was excellent. At the end of each day Barry told us what had been completed and left the house neat and tidy. The tradesmen who came in to do the plastering and tiling were also punctual, tidy and their workmanship was spot on. We had our bathroom and en-suite completely replaced and are very pleased with the results. Barry and his team are extremely hard working and professional and this is reflected in the end result. Our bathrooms look amazing and we will 100% be using PDP again in the future. I can’t recommend them enough.

EXCELLENT
This is the second piece of work Barry and his team have undertaken for us over the last 14 months. This time it was a total bathroom refurbishment. The outcome is superb. All Barry’s team have been terrific, are all excellent craftspeople who are clean, professional and a great source of advice. The plasterers Dave and Grant, George the Tiler, Paul the mastic man, Barry, Tyler and John who stripped out the old units and installed all the sanitary ware etc. Barry’s team overcame every challenge in a positive way especially lifting an awkward 88 kilo bath up a flight of stairs. Really grateful to one and all. We have future work to do and the only people we will engage is Barry and his team at Propertydevelopmentplus. Thank You

Fantastic work
Barry and his team are just the best. We had 3 bathrooms done and are very pleased with the work. They showed up on time, worked hard, cleaned up, and completed the jobs within time given. On the first day, they made sure floor and furniture were protected and kept everything as clean as possible. They are very pleasant and trustworthy people. We felt comfortable leaving them with the house keys. Would highly recommend them.

Complete removal of bathroom.
This work was carried out in a very professional and friendly manner. Have used this company before for a new kitchen which was expertly fitted. Hence I had no hesitation in using them again. All work was excellent. No waiting for any part of the job to be done, it all run like clockwork. I would highly recommend them.

Reliable, trustworthy and highly recommended
This is the second time I have used Property Development Plus, and both times Barry and his team have been great. Work was completed on time and within the agreed budget, and we've been happy with everything completed. They were also flexible to add some tasks during the job or tweak things as things progressed. The last job was to renovate the entire ground floor, which included plastering, removal of redundant gas pipes, new doors, skirt and architrave, installation of new radiators, removal of fireplace and preparation and installation of a Wren kitchen. The previous job was to renovate the entire 1st and 2nd floors, including removal of chimney breast, installation of a new staircase, new radiators, new doors, skirt and architrave and plastering. Overall we couldn't be happier with their work, and I would highly recommend them.
