experience with J A Wright

  • We couldn’t be happier with the work carried out by Alan and the team on our garage conversion. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and professional. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, it’s really transformed our home. We would highly recommend Alan to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality building work. Thank you again for such a fantastic job!
    Yasmin Claridge
  • When I decided to have a new bathroom downstairs last year, Alan was recommended to me as a builder I could trust. It was good advice as from the first meeting he proved to be informative, knowledgeable and willing to listen. The day-to-day work was mainly done by a team of tradesmen with the same two men on site at all times to supervise they’re coming and going at the other trades, such as electricians, gas engineers etc.
    Sally Elliott
  • Building projects can be stressful but with the expert advice and guidance from Alan coupled with the obvious skills his Team bring to their respective tasks confidence is high that a quality job will be delivered – and that is exactly what happens and all with the utmost care for the customer treating your home as if it was their own. A highly professional firm that is highly recommended.
    Phil Lambert
  • Alan Wright was recommended to us by a neighbour as our property needed a complete refurbishment both inside and externally.  This consisted of removing and reconfiguring internal walls, installing RSJ’s, having a new staircase fitted, dismantling a rear roof space to build a beautiful external balcony with glass balustrade, additional roof space-storage, new kitchen worktops, wall & floor tiles, replacement of all internal doors, handles, locks etc.
    Patsy Held

  • Alan Wright is one of the nicest people you could meet.  His professionalism is second to none, he is always polite and courteous and is extremely trustworthy.  Alan is always the first person we call when we want some building work done on our house and he comes up with some good ideas and vision when we can’t see it ourselves.  The finished job is always perfect – he won’t leave until it is perfect.  I would highly recommend Alan to anyone that asks, and have done on quite a few occasions.

    Mrs. P. Jewell
  • Alan and his team completed a loft conversion for us last year. From the moment we met to discuss our requirements through to completion, Alan has been professional, reliable and a complete perfectionist. He and every member of his team take such pride in their work and the attention to detail shown by every single one of them is amazing. Our standards are very exacting (which Alan himself will attest to) but they even exceeded our expectations and were always thinking ahead, considering things that would never have crossed our minds.
    Mrs. Mun-Li Boswell

  • I just wanted to say a massive thank you for my bathroom.  I absolutely love it.  I can’t believe it’s the same room!!!!!  Please pass on my thanks to your team and can you ask them if they can come round and hoover and tidy up every week?

    Mrs. J. Pope
  • We could summarise the service, professionalism and workmanship of Alan and his workforce in one word “outstanding”.
    Mrs. C. White

  • I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alan – in fact, I already did, to my best friend! I was delighted with the both the quality of the work and the manner in which it was undertaken. Alan and his colleagues were a pleasure to deal with, and Alan was always honest about the progress of the work, any issues arising and the costs. He’s so good that I don’t really want to write this as it might mean that he’s too busy next time I have a building project!

    Mrs. C. Walden
  • The building operations were carried out in an efficient manner, with Alan controlling his workforce and material suppliers from start to finish in a very professional manner. I particularly liked his attention to detail with the construction, and would not hesitate to use him for future work, or in recommending his company to others.

  • It almost goes without saying that Alan’s work, and that of his team, is of the highest standard.  He is also 100% reliable and trustworthy – if he commits to something you can be sure he will deliver. What I value most though is that, despite the many and varied projects he is invariably involved with, he always takes the time to understand the needs of the specific customer and tailor his approach and recommendations accordingly.
    Mr. A. Walden

  • Alan came to us highly  recommended and we were not disappointed. Alan is the best kind of builder and project manager rolled in to one. Work was completed to a very high standard and within budget. Any issues encountered were brought to our attention immediately and Alan was creative in his solutions to issues encountered to protect our overall project budget. In addition, Alan handled all aspects of Building Control and has a wide range of skilled tradesmen he can call. We would recommend Alan without hesitation.

    Mr. & Mrs. T. Attree

  • I used Alan Wright’s building company some four years ago when renovating my bungalow. The renovation consisted of – new windows, doors, central heating, new kitchen , new bathroom and plumbing. I had extensions to provide one new room, enlarge another room and to construct two new bathrooms together with the replacement of a flat roof and roof light.  All work was carried out professionally and to a high standard.

    Mr. & Mrs. R. Rolfe

  • Alan Wright and his team completed a 2-storey extension including a complete re-design of upstairs in May 2008.  There was always a team of builders working every day to ensure the job was completed with the minimum disruption and no unnecessary delays. The quality of work and attention to detail was excellent with good recommendations from the team for improvements and a number of additions to the planned work being accommodated without issue.  All members of the team were pleasant to have around and totally trustworthy.  I was delighted with the finished extension!

    Mr. & Mrs. P. Tucker
  • We have a home exceeding anything that we had dreamed of! There were no corners cut and the finish was fantastic – Alan’s eye for detail exceeded even ours! He is a true gem in the world of builders, taking a genuine pride in the work he carries out and completing everything to a very high standard.
    Building a home involves thousands of decisions but the best one we made was employing Alan!
    Mr. & Mrs. P. McGuigan
  • We were extremely pleased with the standard, quality and attention to detail of the work completed by Alan and his team.  Any issues were quickly dealt with and Alan was more than happy to explain things to me as they went along. We found that the work was conducted in a professional and friendly manner at all times whilst taking into consideration our needs and more importantly that of our very young child.
    Mr. & Mrs. J. Jarvis
  • In recent years, Alan has installed a new kitchen and added a conservatory to our 1960s property, again involving the removal of a supporting wall; refurbished a family bathroom to maximize the available space and created a downstairs shower room. Due to his professional approach, Alan enjoys a good relationship with Local Authority Building Control officers and ensures all his work is compliant with current Building Regulations. We have recommended Alan to several of our friends and would not hesitate to do so in the future.
    Mr. & Mrs. J. Elliot

  • The most important thing was obviously the quality of the build and the interior and exterior finishes. Alan and his men had all this covered and we were very impressed with what we had seen so much so that we appointed him as our builder on the extensive enlargement and refurbishment of our house. Alan and his men completed the work on our house in a timely fashion.

    Mr. & Mrs. G. Erol
  • Alan and his team turned up on the agreed date, and every day, weekend and bank holiday for 8 months until the job was complete. As and when problems arose (and they always do), a solution was always calmly and carefully worked out. Any variances that would affect our budget were always quoted for beforehand, and our total spend with Alan was almost exactly to his original quotation.
    Mr. & Mrs. D. Fuller

  • We were very pleased with the building extension carried out by J A Wright Builders. Alan and his team were always professional, trustworthy and friendly throughout the project. They were also very helpful when it came to fixtures and fittings and their advice really helped us ensure we made the right choices! The completed job is exactly what we had hoped for and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

  • We used Alan and his Team on a number of occasions and it is a measure of our confidence in him that we were comfortable giving him the keys and allowing him to get on with it. Alan understood what we wanted and not only did he deliver but ensured the work was done to the highest standards. Work was always completed on time and Alan was always available to talk over issues or incorporate relevant amendments. We valued immensely Alan’s professional counsel and are proud to say we regard him as a friend and not simply a hired contractor.

    Mr & Mrs Lambert
  • Alan and his team took care of our ambitious conservatory, outdoor kitchen and patio build. We had a grade 2 listed house and our local council was a very protective and strict.  Alan handled all the challenges we faced calmly and confidently making sure that all parties were satisfied. He handled complex architectural design contributing excellent ideas of his own to improve the design and decrease cost.
    Mr & Mrs Darling

  • Worked with Al and his team on several projects over the last 10 years, ranging from small to significant multi-month projects. Always a great experience, professional, high quality, high attention to detail and personable.   Worked to budget and collaborated to find mutually acceptable solutions when unforeseen problems happened.  Whenever we have a project Al is the first person we call. Would unreservedly recommend him and team for major or small projects.

    Julie Pope

  • I highly recommend Alan and his team. They delivered outstanding workmanship on our new-build home, with exceptional attention to detail and quality throughout. From start to finish, they provided valuable advice and guidance that helped the project run smoothly. This was a substantial undertaking—around 10,000 square feet of buildings plus extensive external groundworks—and they handled it with professionalism and expertise. I would confidently recommend them for projects of any size.
