"From our first meeting with John, to discuss the building of our front porch, we were really impressed by his project management skills and his attention to detail. We were able to reach out to him, at any time and he was always good at providing us with suggestions, to enhance the look of our design. The expertise of his team was obvious and not a day went by without someone carrying out their job. The whole project was completed within 5 weeks and we are absolutely delighted with the end result. We highly recommend John and Old Town Building Services and would definitely use them again."

Customer voice from the public record
"I had a brilliant experience with Old Town Building Services. Various drain clearing companies and Scottish Water hadn’t been able to understand and fix the problem. John and his team got it sorted in one day. Great communication, tidy work, so pleased! See photos for during and after."
"I needed a very small repair on an outside window sill and had been finding it impossible to get someone to fix it. John replied quickly to my request and came out to have a look. He brought back his brickie a day or so later and repaired it within 15 minutes. John is friendly and practical and I wouldn't hesitate to ring him again if I ever needed work done again."
