RJR Installations

We have used Richard on a number of occasions over the last 8 years and this time he was putting in new kitchen units, new extractor fan, under cupboard lighting and shelving. Quite straightforward in theory but we were retaining our existing sink, cooker and worktop, all of which he had installed about 4 or 5 years ago. He removed all the existing units without damaging the worktop or tiling and the job ran very smoothly as we expected, largely due to his adaptability in fitting units which were not always exactly the right size. The quality of his work, attention to detail and ability to find workable solutions to the inevitable unforeseen minor problems which arose were of the highest order and we would certainly use him again. He is, in our opinion, simply the best in his field.

Richard came highly recommended to us by a friend of a friend and we can see why. From when Richard came out to price our kitchen renovation we knew we were in safe hands. He was confident and knew exactly what he was doing. He was taking on a fairly big job with us replacing everything flooring, electrics etc etc which was to be expected in a 40 yr old kitchen but he instantly made us feel at ease. Whilst it all ran smoothly we knew if there was any issues Richard would have dealt with it in his calm manner. His biggest concern was how would I cope without an oven, I was more worried about my washing machine! Over the 5 weeks he was with us I think I went without it for a couple of hours which was amazing considering all the work he had to do. Richard gave us a clear and very accurate estimate both price and time scale. Once work began Richard was always, punctual, polite, clean, tidy and did his best to leave us with a functioning kitchen. Most of all he always communicated well. We cannot recommend Richard highly enough, our kitchen looks great and he made our journey such a positive one 😊

Delighted to have chosen Richard to do a complete refit on our shower room/wet room in our new bungalow. Richard done an excellent job from start to finish he was very polite, thorough and explained everything as he was doing it, he always left the area clean and tidy when he finished each day. We will would not hesitate in recommending Richard and would definitely use him again ourselves for any future projects.

This is the second time Richard has done work for me. His attention to detail is excellent and he constantly keeps the work area clean and tidy and is a pleasure to have working in my apartment.

The work carried out by Richard was a complete full kitchen installation replacing an old tatty one that was well overdue a change and not functional any more. This included full removal of units and floor tiling, installation and utilities connections. From the quote visit, Richard provided an inspection and helped answer any questions I had before providing a competitive quote. What swayed me was that Richard offered a full service rather than having to arrange multiple tradesman (plumber, electrician etc.), which made the quality of the job much better and organised. The work carried out was very thorough and to a high standard with Richard able to let me know the schedule and progress whenever requested. He carried out all necessary plumbing and electrical wiring work as well as floor tiling. After each day, he ensured the work area and wherever work was carried out was left clean and tidy so there was minimal disruption left. Living in a flat, this hindered areas to work (cutting materials etc.), however Richard proactively worked around this and was able to effectively complete the work. He was also very accommodating to any requests during the project and if any were possible, he was happy to carry this out to ensure the customer was happy (eg if I wanted something a certain way). Overall, the completed kitchen looks excellent, great attention to detail and I'm very pleased with the finish. It's great to have a fresh new kitchen up and running for 2023.

We wanted to upgrade our kitchen so everything was replaced except the kitchen cabinets. Richard did an excellent job, conferring on decisions and making recommendations where he thought there was a better way. He is polite, thoughtful ( works quietly and always cleans as he goes) and an absolute pleasure to have in the house. He works steadily and to a high standard and I would have no hesitation is recommending him. In fact our friends were so impressed they have him booked in already!

Richard installed our new kitchen but also did an excellent job of everything else we wanted to be done including electrics, plumbing, flooring and painting. His precision and care with everything was truly impressive. Richard discovered a few design issues along the way and was quick to point them out to us, but more importantly, did not make them our problem. He took ownership of the issue and after discussions with the Kitchen Designer, they were quickly resolved thanks to Richard's solutions. The designer commented to me "you are lucky to have Richard". Indeed we were. What stood out was not just the quality of his work (first class), his helpfulness and communication but also his attention to detail. I can highly recommend Richard.

We had a long-standing issue with an ill-fitting bath panel which did not take account of our sloping bathroom floor! Richard researched and found the ideal solution - an adjustable bath panel specifically designed for sloping floors! It was a perfect solution which was perfectly fitted. Richard went the extra mile by enusuring a high quality finish...chrome mirror screws, fine line of sealant and the short length of exposed pipe alongside the end of the bath panel neatly boxed in and sealed. Overall a great job. Would not hesitate to recommend Richard.

Having contacted Richard initially last summer to do a number of small jobs for me, I had to wait six months between quote/job done, I think because of the ‘covid induced’ demand for handyman services like his. However, Richard’s work was worth the wait! Having had someone else do a really poor job putting up mirrors and shelves, Richard came in to make good – which he did admirably. He also put up a dozen or so pictures for me and was very patient with me changing my mind all the time. He put up a cabinet and boxed in pipes in my bathroom, and particularly the boxing in, was far better than I was ever expecting. He did all this in 2 days. He worked hard both days and took very little time off for lunch/breaks. He was the tidiest handyman I’ve come across – with tools in one hand and his Henry hoover in the other. Even though there was a long time between quoting and the job getting done, he stuck to the exact dates he initially gave me for the work. His quote was emailed to me in a professional spreadsheet form and he stuck to this completely. Throughout the job, he was thoroughly professional in his work and manner - to me, my property and my belongings; and I felt was a genuinely decent person all round. I would absolutely recommend using RJR Services to anyone - even with small, bity jobs like mine. I will definitely be calling on Richard for future jobs I need doing, and would absolutely recommend him to others.
