John repaired our garden wall he was very professional and completed the work to a high standard. He kept us updated from start to finish he cleaned up afterwards an exemplary craftsman at his trade. I would have no hesitation In recommending John to my friends and family. Should I need any more work in the future John will be my first choice.

We contacted John via Renfrewshire Trusted Trader to see if he could remove our brick chimney. His workmanship and approach was exemplary. Of the other builders we contacted, he was the only one who actually offered to do some investigations before he provided a quote. His diligence - from initial investigations, to sourcing replacement bricks, to painting our fascias, to communicating with our neighbours - shows how much he cares about doing a good job and making sure we were happy. The results were impressive. He left a clean, tidy site (and this was despite the horrendous weather!), and ensured the skip was removed on the day he left. As others have indicated, John is a pleasure to have in your house.

After seeing the excellent work John carried out for my mum and dad with their garden wall and hearing how reliable, trustworthy and reasonable he was I contacted John to carry out some work for me. I moved my boiler and this left holes on the outer wall of my house. John turned up when he said he would and completed the job very quickly and to a very high standard. Would definitely use again for any work required in the future. Highly recommended

We were looking for a bricklayer to build our garden wall. I looked on here and found John (Whelan Builders) and I’m so glad I did. From the initial visit to the completion of the job John was fantastic! Very high quality of workmanship. Was here on time when he said he would and was very clean and tidy. A bonus that he’s a top guy as well! Would have no hesitation on recommending him to anyone looking for any building work to be carried out. Five stars not enough!

We had this building company in to repair bricks at the corner of our house which were showing signs of wear due to weather exposure.
The service was great. They turned up when promised and worked solidly to repair the area. They even managed to source bricks which are similar if not an exact match so the repair is barely noticeable.
We feel we have had great value for money and excellent service and would definitely recommend the company to others.

John carried out repairs to old stone wall at front of house. Very pleased with his excellent standard of work, nearly a week since work completed I have lost count of the people stopping to admire and compliment on the wall. All rubbish taken away area left clean and tidy. Highly recommend Whelan Builders and look forward to having John back in the future to transform the rest of our walls !

I had a double brick retaining wall built by John. When he came to view the job he was extremely helpful and advised me on how to reduce the cost of my wall. I am very happy with the job he has done.

John completed some remedial work on my conservatory brickwork.The work was well done and importantly he reassured me there was nothing more serious that required attention. I would definitely call upon John for any future work and would recommend as a trusted trader.

John has been a real ‘find’. He repaired the crumbling tiles from the top level of our external stairs and ground down the core of the stairs to accommodate and fit beautiful ceramic slabs. He did what other builders said couldn’t be done. The standard of his work was excellent and he maintained dialogue with us as the work progressed. He clearly believes in keeping in touch with his clients (a rare breed) and his costings represent great value for money. He is a very friendly and reliable man and, on this experience, I would recommend Whelan Builders without hesitation. He will be our ‘go to’ man for future work on our house.

I am very happy with the quality of the finish. Whelan Builders provided a cost quote that outlined clearly the timescale, materials and labour required to repair and rebuild my driveway wall.

John kept me updated with progress, start times and disruptions to progress when the weather changed.

I found John to be very friendly, easy to talk with and l trusted his judgement and experience ehen it came to bring the wall up to its highest standard.

I'd highlight recommend Whelan Builders for building work and would definitely use again.

I invited Whelan Builders to provide a quote to build a low retaining garden wall. John responded quickly and subsequently provided a quote which I found acceptable. He started the job when he said he would and completed within the timeframe agreed. John’s work was excellent and I am more than satisfied with the finished look (before and after pictures attached). I would be more than happy to use his services again and/or recommend him to neighbours and friends.
