Home Transformers

The service I have received from James has been exemplary. From initially viewing properties with me to providing ideas and costs for work and eventually securing the right property for our complex circumstances, James has been there throughout. Due to our personal circumstances we had a significant delay between property purchase and commencing work, during this time James was happy to accommodate changes to start dates even within the demands of his waiting list. Our situation is fairly unusual in that we have a severely disabled member of our family and much more planning and thought went into this project involving other services and organisations which was no trouble for James and his team. All of James' team are friendly, approachable and were considerate and willing to listen to my requests and ideas on site during the project. James was always available on the phone to reassure me and answer questions. The way James runs his business and trades who work with him in my opinion is incredibly rare, trades who work for James are all honest and hard working. I would not hesitate in recommending him and would encourage people to wait for his input as his waiting list speaks for itself. Without question James goes above and beyond for his customers and is highly committed to providing an excellent standard of work. Above all else he is trustworthy and honest.Moreexpand_more

James and his team have recently finished a single story extension for us and we cannot recommend them highly enough. From the initial conversation with James and quote we felt confident Home Transformers would deliver on every front. Jay and his team who were on site most days are not only skilled builders, but genuinely good lads, which makes a difference when you’re opening up your house for 8 weeks. All are first class skilled tradesman that take pride in their work. James project manages all elements and the communication was great throughout. The occasional hiccup or issue was always dealt with promptly, and the transparency re costs (I. E exactly what’s included) is useful and reassuring when budgeting. We’re genuinely delighted with the finished project, which has transformed our living space downstairs. Thanks again James and team - the best in the business!

We had a significant first floor extension, garage conversion, new porch, internal wall changes, kitchen, utility, 3x bathrooms and various other changes. James and his competent team delivered this in 12 weeks as stated and commenced the project on time. James handles variations fairly and openly and is very flexible in his approach. Since the project James has resolved a couple of minor defects promptly. I would recommend James and team who are all very knowledgeable.

25sqm extension to create a beautiful open plan Kitchen, Lounge and Diner - plus a guest bathroom, a downstairs restroom and a utility room. James and his team were great to work with. You always know where you stand - great communication. Very high quality work - design, structure, build and finishing. The team are brilliant - very considerate and highly skilled. A stress free experience and a great finished product. Thanks!

We were delighted with all aspects of our loft conversion and build, from initial meet with James to handover, James and the team stood out and exceeded all of our expectations. Answering all queires and offering unbiased advice, James friendly manner, assurance and professionalism allowed us to to remain stress free while they went about their craft. Completed on time, in budget and starting construction within the time period stated, this level of service means you are in excellent hands. Would thoroughly reccomend.

James and his team have exceeded our expectations and then some! All of the team are polite, friendly, hard working and knowledgeable, we can’t thank them all enough for how they have transformed our home in such a quick timeframe. Our neighbours have even commented on how professional the guys have been, tidy, quiet and considerate of parking etc. On some days during our project we had 12+ tradesman on site at one time which felt overwhelming to begin with however James and the team kept us informed throughout and answered any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble. James helped to guide us through our decision making and his advice helped us to stay on budget when it came to extras! We set a budget for the whole project at the start which we shared with James so he was able to guide us to stay on track and rein us in with our expensive wishes when required! We are so grateful for this! I have already recommended Home Transformers to friends and family and will continue to do so, our project was delivery on time, on budget and to an excellent quality. Thank you home transformers! We are over the moon! .Moreexpand_more

From start to finish James provided an outstanding service. He recommended a great architect who drew up our ideal home which James and his team built for us. Everything was completed in time and as promised. James' team are a great bunch, always friendly and knowledgeable. They put up with a lot from us! Would highly recommend.

From start to finish James made our bungalow renovation as easy as it could be, we were nervous, it was a big expense for us but James and his guys really did make it as good an experience as it could be, nothing was too much trouble, and the end result was a complete transformation, we now have a warm lovely home for a number of years with no future worries. Thank you to the whole team and would really recommend them to anyone looking for a builder who won't let them down.

In a nutshell, I think HomeTransformers is the best around and the service we received was fantastic from start to finish and overall it was a positive experience. This is why I gave a 5 star review…. I found James and his team to be quality professional builders, highly skilled, competent, hard-working, diligent, attentive to detail, reliable and trustworthy. Just like the reviews I read online and everything you want when you plan to spend a lot of money on a building project. I could single out each of his team for high praise for the quality of their work and there was not one member I wouldn’t consider inviting for a meal out or to the pub. James has assembled a great crew. I liken my experience a bit like being on BBC’s DIY SOS and in the most positive way. The project was expertly managed by James. Members of his team were at my property almost daily and I could see progress by the end of each working day. James would provide a timescale and it would be done, few hassles. His team works fast but the quality is not compromised. James was able to finish my loft conversion ahead of schedule. We approached HomeTransformers to build our loft conversion following a recommendation from our architect. James and his team had excellent reviews online and we had the opportunity to see a few of Jame’s previous completed building projects. The quality of the finished builds matched that described on online reviews. So it was worth asking if he was available and able to do our project. My wife had lined up a few builders and James was the first to do a site visit. We didn’t bother having any other builder companies around as we knew we had found the perfect fit for what we had planned based on our conversations. Obviously, you can tell we are delighted with the quality of our finished loft conversion and would encourage you to approach HomeTransformer if you are looking for a quality building company. .Moreexpand_more

We had a 1950’s bungalow demolished and a brand new bungalow rebuilt. Project managed and built by James and his team. James took time with us to plan and advise throughout the whole project. The finish and the care taken by all was fantastic and as promised by James. We would highly recommend Home Transformers. You may have to wait a while but they are worth it. Thank you to James and all your team.

We had a loft conversion back in 2018, built by James and his team, we were so pleased with the quality of work and quality finish, James' knowledge, expertise and reassurance makes the whole process far less stressful than you would expect, his team are amazing, they're approachable and a delight to have working in your home. Then in 2022, we had a ground floor extension with kitchen and dinning room knock through to the new build. There was no question who we wanted to do it, James again held our hands through out the whole process, he listened to us and came up trumps with whatever we asked of him. He was always at the end of the phone to give advice or problem solve. His team's quality of workmanship is 5 star. James kept us up to date at each stage of the build and was very good at putting our minds at rest. Nothing was too much trouble, again his team were a delight to have on site and we missed them when then finished! We now have a beautiful open plan kitchen with snug TV area.

Our extension project has been a long time in the making. Having never done anything like this before, we took our time developing our plans and finding the right builder to make it happen. James came recommended to us and we are so pleased we found him! On the day our project started I was really nervous, especially when parts of the house started to be removed. But the team were brilliant! Some days we were simply astounded at the number of people and trades that worked on the project. Yet it never once felt intrusive, I think that’s down to the people on the team, like Jay, strawberry, Perry, Greg, Dollers and many many more! Credit must go to James though. From the outset he has been brilliant. I’ve lost track of the number of silly questions and changes I asked for before we even started the build, and he always responded immediately, helping us to make informed decisions and choices. Every recommendation he made was the right one. We are so pleased with the end result. Our new kitchen/diner and utility really has been worth the time, money and effort and transformed how we will live in our home.Moreexpand_more

We have just had a single storey extension and new downstairs cloakroom/utility constructed by Home Transformers and are absolutely delighted by the work. From our initial meeting with James we were so impressed by his openness and his obvious desire to make our plans come to life for us. There is a long wait for the team but in our opinion, they’re worth waiting for! The whole team are great. They made the whole process as easy as it could be for us, they answered all of our questions along the way and made even the tricky days fun with their banter and positive attitudes. James has amazing customer service skills and is always at the end of the phone for all the little queries we had and was on site to check in with us regularly, he told us to relax and that they would take care of everything and they really did! All the tradesmen that James uses are really professional and provided us with finished home that we had hoped for. If you’re considering Home Transformers, we highly recommend them and suggest you book in a meeting with James sooner rather than later. Tony and Karen Mizen.

James and the team completed a single storey extension for us in December and it is absolutely fantastic. James said to us at the start - ‘just enjoy it’ - which I was doubtful about, but amazingly it genuinely was stress free and although not without the odd ‘hick-up’ - nothing for us to worry about and James sorted everything. All of his team were polite, helpful and a real pleasure to have in our home. Highly recommend. Thankyou James, Strawbs and the team! Trev and Hayley.

Home Transformers recently converted our large loft into an en suite bedroom, study and eparate storage room. Other companies estimated 8-12 weeks, James (home transformers director) estimated 5 weeks and achieved it. The guys were brilliant, easy to have in the house and they tidied up after themselves daily before leaving. The best feature is the incredible custom made oak staircase that James sourced for us from a local company. We couldn't be more pleased with it. All work was completed efficiently and to high standards. Our opinions/likes/dislikes were always considered throughout. We would definitely use them again for similar projects. Thanks!

Home Transformers did a fantastic job on our extension, garage conversion and new garage build, thank you guys! Work started in January 2020 and unfortunately was about half way through when lockdown struck - it couldn't have come at a worse time for us, with no back wall to the house and no kitchen! James and the team worked so hard to do what they could to keep things moving (safely and within the rules of course) and somehow they managed to get us there without too much delay. Everyone worked so well and helped us through some tricky decisions, we couldn't have asked for a better team. Thank you all so much, we love our new improved home. ? .

Our home is now truly amazing, James and his Home Transformers team have completely upgraded our house both inside and out. We appointed Home Transformers based on past reviews, James’s excellent customer services and his approachability during the estimate process. We were not disappointed! . We had a vision how we wanted to transform our home and I wanted to very much be a part of the build. James exceeded all expectations, his patience, knowledge, commitment to please and meet deadlines was exceptional. Throughout the build, James project managed everything but allowed me to share ideas and work closely with this team. He was on hand to continually update us on the progress of the build, ensuring materials were delivered on site, and at the appropriate time. Due to COVID we had to work from home on occasion, added to our children being off school meant we spent more time at home during the build. Throughout, we were not inconvenienced and the team worked tirelessly to ensure that we were able to go about our business with minimal fuss. The build has been of the highest standard, with his team showing dedication and a keen eye for detail and were extremely accommodating to changes we required, and went above and beyond. The banter between us and the team was brilliant and this certainly helped throughout the transformation of our home. We had to wait a long year for Home Transformers but it was definitely worth it! We set out to build our dream extension, and with James and his teams help we have certainly done that! We are still buzzing, and we can’t stop smiling!Moreexpand_more

Home Transformers were recommended to me and I am so glad that they were and that I went with them. I couldn't be happier. I now have a beautiful home that I am proud of and can enjoy. I had a rear extension including upstairs dormer. Nothing was too much trouble for James and his team. They regularly worked weekends and long hours to stay on track. They started on time and finished on time. I got to know everyone quite well (James, Strawbs, Andy, Jay, X, Perry, Martin, Greg and Paul) and they are such lovely, talented, caring, hard working, trust worthy professionals. I genuinally believe they wanted the house to be the very best it could be, and gave me great advice along the way, for example suggestions to achieve the best ergonomic design. Any issues were resolved quietly and calmly and I never felt worried. There were no hidden surprises and James was incredibly communicative throughout and because he is so well connected, I got some incredible discounts too. I can see why there is a year long waiting list, and to anyone considering an extension, I would highly recommend Home Transformers and look no further.Moreexpand_more

Having had James complete our loft extension 10 years ago, there was no doubt that we wanted him to come back and build our single story rear extension and garage conversion. James is a man of his word and does everything he can to give the customer what he wants (and needs). James is very open and honest right from the quotation stage and you can see why there was a year long waiting list. Having given us a start date a year in advance, he started a few days early and finished on time. All of the team are very professional and work hard to give you the best finish. I would thoroughly recommend Home Transformers for any building work. I particularly liked the way that they managed to allow us access to most of our kitchen facilities throughout the build even when the back wall was missing.

Hometransformers have completed a highly professional, high quality single story rear kitchen/diner extension to our 3 bed house in Whiteley. The high level of customer service was present from the quotation phase, where the attention to detail and willingness to discuss various solutions to our needs was evident from the company’s director James Thompson. This excellent level of customer service continued throughout the build. James is well connected with other service providers/tradespeople such as architects, electricians, plumbers, kitchen providers, decorators etc. Which meant Hometransformers were able to offer a full end to end build. The build started slightly ahead of schedule, and the Hometransformers team conducted the build in a very professional, respectful and courteous manner. The team and director kept us informed of progress on a regular basis, ensuring we were suitably prepared for each stage of the build. Any of the usual challenges that arose during the build were calmly and professionally dealt with. The team regularly worked weekends/long days to keep the build on track. The final product is to a high standard and excellent value for money. I highly recommend Hometransformers.Moreexpand_more
