Highlights
"Joey and his team did a great job fitting our Wren kitchen. We ran into a few unexpected issues with the house’s old 1970s electrics, but Joey got everything sorted quickly within a couple of phone calls, even over the Christmas period. The team also took care of some unfinished flooring work that a previous contractor had left bodged, which we really appreciated. We’re really happy with the end result and would definitely use them again for any future work knowing we'd be in safe hands."
"Joey and his team did our bathroom full rip out, moved a wall so we had a bigger bathroom, boarding and all skimmed, outstanding bathroom suite fitted, super happy was all completed within one week will definitely use again thanks mike."
"Had our kitchen fitted in August 2025. Knew Joe from school and when I realised it was him carrying out the work I had no reason to doubt anything. Expectations were exceeded beyond measures. Nothing was too much for joe and his team. Communication response was excellent. Came back at my request for a few minor things and was sorted straight away. Would 100% use them in future for other projects in the house. Still obsessed with my kitchen now."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — 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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
Run the Cowboy Checker on J Needham Installations before you contact them.
