Thank You

It’s a real shame we can’t give Will (James) and the team more than five stars. From the outset, they showed up on time every single day and went above and beyond to deliver our loft conversion. As builders, they were exceptional. But beyond that, as people, they were incredible. So, not only Will, but Rick, Tanya and Lossy were a part of our family for 9 weeks. They treat our home like their own, vacuuming and cleaning after every day, having tea parties with my five year old, gave our dogs as much attention as we do, and even saved all the off cuts for our log burner. They even tolerated my wife’s constant skip diving for stuff to ‘salvage’. Their collective attention to detail was mind blowing, and all their subbies doing electrical (Ben), plumbing, air conditioning , plastering (Josh) and carpentry, along with all the rest of the team helping to turn our dream into a reality far exceeded what we expected from the project. Will said at the outset that his aim is to disprove the misconception that builders are all cowboys, and boy did he do that in spades. It became a catchphrase throughout that every little unforeseen problem was met with his unwavering reply of ‘we’ll sort it’. The team at High and Dry will sort whatever problem arrives, with good nature, some mild swearing when they think we can’t hear and an incredible end product. He said that sometimes with a long project that the customer can get sick of having them around. We feel quite differently, we’ll miss having them around, so brilliant that they all are. They were not the cheapest quote we had. But they represented the most value for money you can possibly get. We can’t wait to have them back for phase 2 and beyond. Thank you so much. We hope you enjoy the beers. Love, Ben, Mandy, Jasper and Aubrey.

Where do we start ? Found this company by chance via Google as we wanted a loft conversion. From first contact with James right the way through to completion the whole service has been outstanding and we are delighted with the finished product. James and his team sorted everything out including all work with ancillary contractors, namely plumbing and electrical and took care of all building regulations. Must also point out that they also do many other aspects of building work and are not restricted to just lofts. Would highly recommend making contact if you are considering home improvements.

We decided to go ahead with a loft conversion, after a visit from James, explaining each stage of the project. He then gave us a quote and timescale of 4 weeks. The work was completed in July, within the 4-week schedule. I would highly recommend them, from start to finish they were very tidy, polite, hardworking and respected our house and very professional throughout. The first week was during a heatwave, where the loft space was so hot, but they still carried on, to remain on schedule. We also used their contractors, which meant the plastering, plumbing, electrician and decorator were perfectly scheduled, one after another, for the job to complete on time. We now have a huge loft space, which will become a dual-purpose living room / office space and somewhere for my husband to finally display his sports memorabilia! Constant flow of tea, coffee and biscuits was definitely worth it 👍Thank you again for the amazing job you’ve done ☺

James and his team were so professional the standard was so high, we are delighted with the work the garage conversion looks amazing thank you Mr and Mrs Ginnelly

Finally got round to leaving a few words about this company. We approached Will about having a dormer shell built he turned up sent us a quote and work went ahead. From start to finish all I can say is Will and his team are fantastic nothing was ever too much trouble, all of them were hard working polite courteous and very very tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants any sort of building work doing

When getting a builder you can never be too sure, but with these guys they were brilliant from the word go! All the planning permission was taken care of and the whole project of the loft conversion went really smoothly. I would highly recommend James and his team to anyone.

Exceptional team of professional, hard working and courteous trades people. Completed my loft conversion to a very high standard. Their attention to detail sets them out from your average builders. I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone.

James and his fantastic team of hardworking , creative and polite tradesmen always complete an amazing job. The barn conversion that they produced for me was done in record time and the attention to detail is extraordinary. With minimal consultation James can visualise exactly what will work and this combination of vision and expertise is priceless. You could not get a better team of craftsmen for your job. Head and shoulders above any other company. Thankyou

After a very enthusiastic visit from James to get a quote for a loft conversion we were in no doubt that he was the man for the job. His team came and conquered!! The 5-6 week estimated completion was reduced to 3 weeks. They worked so so hard and never left for the day without tidying up. I cannot thank them enough for their patience and hard work.....dealing with a difficult space, they have given us a much needed extra bedroom and bathroom, not to mention an awesome amount of storage. I would not hesitate to recommend James and his team for any construction work......just don’t make it a “dry job” 🤣......regular cups of tea was the least I could do. Thank you again x

After having no heating for months and 5+ companies coming to try and sort the problem Johno and P came to have a look. Amazing guys and very polite and had the heating working within a few hours. I would highly recommend the company for anyone wanting any work done.
