He and his team were very professional and finished the job to a very high standard. Unlike other builders, James stays on the job until it's finished and doesn't jump around from one work site to another. They worked from first light until it got dark. Whilst working on the house he found other problems that previous builders had done and rectified them at no extra cost. I would definitely recommend him." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "James did a very professional job plastering a room after I had installed insulated plasterboard. The work was done to a great standard including a tricky sloped ceiling section. Excellent and friendly service, highly recommended." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "James was fantastic from start to finish. He was friendly, punctual, and highly professional throughout the job. He took the time to fully explore the problem with our damaged flooring caused by damp, clearly explaining what needed to be done and keeping us informed at every stage. His work was tidy and thorough, and the finished result looks great. You’d never know there had been an issue in the first place! We really appreciated his attention to detail and the care he put into getting everything just right.

Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done. - Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced. - Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. ## Contact - Phone: 07533 043489 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/james-brown-refurbishments-limited-2 Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, and reviews are cross-checked across 2 review sources.
