Review Comments
John is a great team leader as well as an excellent joiner. His team is professional and work so hard in all unbelievably winters tough weather. The neighbours even commented that they had never seen such hard workers.
We also had a great architect Tim and John and Tim kept us up to date throughout the several months our complete reconstruct was in progress. Between them they recommended the shops to go to for all the internal fittings and they managed the logistics so there was never a major holdup. This was a six figure budget project and was costed to the Nth degree with any changes being also costed and accepted. Of course such a long project can’t be pre-timed exactly and the couple of weeks overrun was not unexpected. Minor snagging after a few weeks was efficiently attended to.
WE CANT THANK ENOUGH AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

After 2 weeks John and his excellent organised team of skilled tradesmen completed a full renovation of our living room. We had a fireplace and fire removed, new ceiling and sunken lights installed plus extra sockets fitted and moved, room re plastered with new doors facings and skirtings fitted. Also new flooring fitted from the living room into the hall and bathroom. The work carried out has been done to an excellent standard by his employees who were ALWAYS on time and extremely courteous, also very tidy. We would highly recommend and will definitely use again.

We used Balmoral building and joinery for a partial garage conversion. Communication before, during and after was first class. John was able to address any queries as we went through the process. His team were very friendly and knowledgeable and the work was finished to a high standard. Highly recommended and would use again.

My wife and I approached John and his team with plans to completely renovate the entire upstairs of our home which included knocking down walls, building partitions, installing a new bathroom, installing windows and a lot of insulation. It was a massive job, especially the rip out, but straight away the attention to detail from John and his team was impressive.

The team were efficient and professional, using their years of experience to make suggestions and alterations to the existing plans to make the overall finish even better than we could have hoped. Everyone was punctual, friendly and an expert in their job.

I can wholeheartedly say that my wife and I feel very lucky to have come across John and his team. We have plans for a number of other projects in the future and we will not hesitate to get John back for those again. I would recommend Balmoral Joinery to anyone wanting a professional team, attention to detail and a quality finish.

We have used Balmoral Joinery on three separate occasions now and found the quality of the work, attention to detail and overall service to be excellent. The work done included a complete kitchen removal and refit, a media wall and custom built cabinets, garden decking / shed repair. We would definitely recommend their workmanship.

Partial Garage Conversion to Shower room.
John's was a competitive but not the cheapest quote however his communication was clear and reassuring. Staged invoices were issued as per the estimate, with no surprise costs. John and his team are courteous, work very well and to a good standard. The sub contractors used also worked well and to a good standard. I would be happy to recommend Balmoral Joinery.

Review Comments
John and his team recently carried out a refurbishment for us including new kitchen, bathroom, flooring, lighting, radiators, rewiring, redecoration, rotten joist replacement, etc.

They were punctual, open to changes/additions, kept us updated, made helpful suggestions, took time to talk things through, dealt with snagging quickly, finished to a high standard and cleaned up well.

John and Sean his joiner are both decent nice guys who do a brilliant job. While you could maybe get the work done cheaper, you could also get scammed by fly by nights which has happened to us in the past.

You get what you pay for with this firm; an established reputable team who are highly professional with an excellent standard of workmanship and won’t let you down.

We had our house re-floored, new door handles fitted throughout, coving installed and other various joinery work. Both John and Sean did an excellent, highly skilled professional job and left areas clean & tidy. Good communication throughout.
We would highly recommended Balmoral Joinery and not hesitate to use their services again in the future.

John and his team replaced and insulated the ceiling in a kitchen-diner extension, adding downlighters. They were friendly, punctual, reliable and respectful, and completed the job with the minimum of mess and nuisance. Work was completed to a very high standard on time and on budget. I’d have no hesitation in recommending them or using them again.

Review Comments
Our project was relatively straight forward - we wanted to split our garage into two with one half becoming a new internal store room with a door put in linking it to the kitchen. We sent out a number of requests for this work to be done in late February. John was one of the first to respond and I sent him the approved building warrants. He followed this up with a visit to discuss specific points before submitting a quote. We had a number of quotes and John's pricing was competitive but not the cheapest. We gave him the business as he had bothered to view the job (others did not) and his availability to start in May matched our requirements.

John started on the date promised and worked away diligently, just coming to ask us when things needed clarifying. He not only built our internal store but also laid down our new flooring that matched the kitchen. We were very impressed throughout with John's demeanour, professionalism and keen attention to ensure the job was completed to a high standard.

We would not hesitate to recommend John for building work.

Create a kitchen diner by taking down a load bearing wall, making good and fitting new kitchen, flooring etc. This work was carried out to plan and the final result was excellent. The workers involved were extremely pleasant, polite and helpful. John Stanton managed the job very effectively and the contractors he brought in were all very good. He was very helpful in taking on board extra requests we made and was always clear about the costs. His communication with us and the team was commendable.
I have no hesitation in recommending John and his team and would use them again if I needed other building/ joinery work done.

John did an excellent repair to the kitchen sink, leaving it more firmly attached to the granite worktop than it has ever been. He also removed, made and hung a new back gate. Excellent work, left areas clean & tidy. Good communication throughout. Highly recommended.

I used Balmoral Joinery & Building to fit a new kitchen and shower room, and I am so pleased with the end result. All work was carried out to a very high standard, and John and Martin kept me updated on progress throughout, and also provided excellent advice and input on how to maximise space, layout, use of material, products etc.
I would definitely recommend John and his team, and will use them again for future renovations.

John is a very professional and friendly man. He built an end section of a old fitted kitchen. Matched materials where possible and it is looking fantastic. Although brand knew it has blended in well because of the matching of materials. I would definitely recommend John again and have already asked him to do another job. When you trust a tradesman it gives you such a good feeling.

John replaced the internal doors to my flat. I came across his business through Edinburgh Trusted Traders. Excellent job, completed on budget and on schedule, as we had agreed. John was creative and advised the best solution for our case. The doors fit perfectly and look great. We are already discussing the next job that I would like Balmoral J&B to do for us
