AJP has worked tirelessly to forge long-standing and fruitful working relationships with numerous large and small building contractors, developers and individuals who can re-iterate the professional and high-end results attained whatever the project requires.
These recommendations combined with our dedication towards our company infrastructure, site safety and customer relations are paramount.
Testimonial – Shaftesbury House
We engaged AJP in a large extension and refurbishment to our domestic property, which comprised a new, enlarged kitchen, family room and orangery as well as major alterations to our master bedroom. The project was scheduled to take 5 months and had a budget commensurate with its scale.
Before work commenced we were immediately struck by the professionalism of Richard in the way that they prepared and presented their quotation. The quotation ran to 10 pages, with a detailed specification and prices broken down in appropriate detail. The specification comprised minimal assumptions as Richard had taken the trouble to thoroughly survey the site and understand our requirements. AJP were not the cheapest quotation we received but their approach gave us confidence that we could work together with minimal surprises and that communication would be clear and precise.
Their attitude was extremely professional and entirely consistent with what we were looking for.
Their approach when work commenced did not disappoint. Richard was our point of contact and he project managed the work with great diligence. As an example Richard would email me every week summarizing the work done, setting out the priorities for the next week and re-confirming the completion date. Richard and his team were refreshingly tidy and were always very considerate towards our needs as we continued to live on-site whilst work went on around us.
The quality of work undertaken by AJP was excellent and exceeded our expectations. We had other contractors on-site at the same time that were equally impressed by the quality of their work. The whole project was completed on time, on budget and with no surprises. Post completion, there were a couple of trivial snagging queries, which Richard dealt with as soon as they arose.
Overall, we would have no hesitation in recommending AJP and have subsequently re-engaged Richard to undertake further work. Our experience has demonstrated that the quality of AJP’s work is excellent but just as importantly so is their professionalism, communication and reliability. We firmly believe that you can have confidence in their abilities to deliver a great result.
Testimonial – Wood Lane House, Cherington
AJP Construction has been part of our lives for much of the past two years as we dragged our tired but lovely oaky beamy Listed Cotswold stone house into the 21st century. Richard and his team have replaced most of the roof with lovely fully-compliant Cotswold slates, replaced two dormer windows, reconfigured an unworkable kitchen, laid a new patio, demolished unsightly sheds, walls and obstacles, dug trenches for cables and pipes, laid foundations, created a new stretch of beautiful stone wall, boxed in unsightly pipes and redecorated all the exterior woodwork and most of the internal surfaces.
Throughout they have collaborated amicably with other trades, been unfailingly good-humoured and helpful while the difficult and controlling clients changed their minds and even undertaken additional work in our absence, like moving an aged but much loved rose and ensuring it’s survival, cat feeding and furniture moving! They have all just been respectful of our property, committed to getting it right and nice to have around. More importantly, they take a real pride in their work and try their very best to ensure that the clients get what they want, going the extra distance to accommodate their wishes. We have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone with complex or straightforward work requiring genuinely committed craftsmen with a great attitude. – Sue Stapely
