Required a complex multi-paned (35), double glazed window screen approx 70 sq ft, to confirm with B listing. It's a very well constructed and beautiful piece of work, well worth a a wait for glass etc. John was helpful and compliant with our various wishes. Would definitely recommend and use again.

We engaged John Barr Contracts Ltd. to make sets of folding shelf units with drop down shelves which could be shipped within UPS package size limits and which could be fully erected in 2 minutes for use in trade shows when set up time is very limited. The company took out rough design ideas, developed them , improved them considerably and produced the required 4 units on time and within budget. In our opinion the company has a rare set of intelligence, vision and skill.

John designed, built and installed a bespoke office desk to a very high standard. He is reliable and professional and I will have no hesitation in using him again for any future joinery work.

John and his incredible team have been handling the complete renovation of my house including gutting out every room, adding an ensuite, re-doing the other 2 bathrooms, adding velux windows and bi-fold doors, replacing all the original windows, creating custom bathroom cabinets to accommodate drier and washing machine and the sink i wanted.

He does everything and gives sound unbiased advice and very competitive prices. He's an incredibly skilled and hard working man and his team are equally so. Knowing you have such a solid reliable tradesman backing you up gives you the confidence to take on a full renovation project to get your house from liveable to dream home.

Review Comments
John has done several large jobs for us, a flat conversion from one large flat into to smaller ones, and a 'small' storm damage roof repair that turned into a massive emergency rebuilding of the corner of the building.

No contractor is perfect but John and his tram are about the best I've ever dealt with over a long career in property. Work done in a sensible and cost effective manner, within budget and without nasty surprises (apart from one the building gave us). His communication on the job is exemplary with daily updates including photos and video. Our building is historically important and in a conservation area (not listed) and the sash & casement windows he made, from scratch have utterly transformed the interior and look indistinguishable from original from the outside.

On leaving the job they left it clean enough to use straight away. Bottom line; if I have any kind of building work needed in Fife (and I'd have him come to my house in Glasgow, frankly) he is my first choice.
