A new drive has been built on sloping ground and the finish is first class. The builder really listened to what we wanted and offered a lot of ideas and suggestions on details and materials and kept us updated on progress which was very helpful. His attention to detail is excellent and is reflected in the quality of his work which was very reasonably priced. We are really pleased with the end result and highly recommend his work

Amazing work. Polite. Honest. Knowledgable. Not many like him and his son around anymore. Wish every tradesman was like John.

Entire roof re-slated, including bay window and rear extension. New flashings and gutters.
Exceptional care, courtesy and consideration. The team worked through some atrocious weather without complaint. There was none of the usual shouting, swearing or loud radio which in my book is a big bonus!

Plastered walls and ceiling of living room Feb 2022 and ceiling of bedroom Nov 2023. Previously built my extension.
Honest, reliable and trustworthy. Work always completed to the highest of standards.
Don't look any further, this is the best building company out there.

Over a period of 10+ years John Gallagher (the face of James McGurnaghan) has carried out extensive repairs to my Victorian house - roof repairs, elimination of dry rot, etc etc, and I am extremely grateful for his support throughout this “project”. He has always provided a high quality, friendly, reliable professional service with quick response to emergencies and I feel very reassured to know I can call on him for ongoing maintenance.

John is excellent. He's done various pieces of work for me over the last ten years or so and it's all been exemplary. Highly recommended.

John, who is the main man at the company, has done all our roof work for the last 10 years which is a considerable amount as it is a Victorian era mid-terrace property and just needs attention. John knows the property and is always prompt in his responses to us and the quality of the work just couldn't be better. He has replaced and future-proofed much of our guttering anticipating the increased volume of rainfall, diagnosed and repaired curious/obscure leaks, dressed, repointed and in some cases sealed our chimney stacks and much else that I'm probably forgetting. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I have used John and Andrew at James McGurnaghan in both my present and previous homes. They did internal work by knocking down a wall and plastering in my previous house.
They have built a decking area and laid mono block off street parking.
I have found them punctual, trustworthy and their work was carried out to the highest standard. I have recommended them to friends. Delighted with their work.
