Urban Refurb Co

What is most important answer a potential customer wants to hear ? Without doubt I would use John again and yes I would wait until he is available. Honest. Reliable. Thinking. Great sense of humour but watch the cockney rhyming slang unless you can speak it fluently! Quote on the nail and willing to adapt during project. He was recommended to me by an old and close friend and made the long distance communication from the channel islands work including the sending of pictures during the construction.

An outstanding complete refurbishment of our kitchen! John and his team have installed our kitchen with care and commitment, and have dealt with numerous problems in a good-humoured way. No task was too much for them. As a result, we have the kitchen of our dreams. Extra work was undertaken and completed to a high standard. The site was always left tidy at the end of the day, and at the end of the job. And what we valued was that we were consulted regularly about how we wanted things done. We would and will use this firm again. Thank you.

John made what could have been a distruptive process easy and pain free. He, and all the people he works with were professional, quality tradesman and a pleasure to have around. John always looked for solutions for us and was very concious of keeping costs down. We have a young toddler and another baby on the way so he was really sensitive to this, making sure we had things up and running as soon as possible. We are delighted with the results. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

John did an amazing job on my new kitchen, his attention to detail was outstanding, he is obviously a man who takes pride in his work. Will definitely employ his services again. Phil.

John did a very good job fitting my kitchen - entire new kitchen. He did it on time and everything worked. It was not that easy being on the third floor of a non-lift flat, but nonetheless everything was great. John was tidy and was very helpful in getting rid of all the old units and goods. He created some shelves which was very skilled. He helped advise on things such as lighting and gave suggestions. I would have no hesitation to use John/Urban Refurb and suggest anyone who wants their kitchen fitted employs Urban Refurb without hesitation.

I can't speak highly enough of John and his work on our kitchen – we're extremely pleased with how it's turned out. Right from the start, he was enthusiastic about the project (a complete refurbishment of a small kitchen in a top-floor flat, complete with lots of odd angles and a line of cupboards running under the eaves) and confident that he could deal with the challenges it presented. He came up with several ingenious ideas that saved us a considerable amount of money and made even better use of our limited space than the original plan suggested (which was drawn up by another party). The finish he's achieved on our oak worktops is amazing – numerous sands and coats of oil went into them, and it shows. It was also an absolute pleasure to have him around; he's a warm, friendly and trustworthy man. He was great at keeping us informed of how the work was progressing too, regularly updating us on what he planned to do next and what he'd done that day. He also consulted with us on all aspects of the finish in order to achieve exactly what we desired, and left the flat clean and tidy before departing each night. It's clear he takes great pride in his work, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.

I had my bathroom completely stripped down to the bare walls, replastered tiled and a new bathroom suite, fan radiator/towel rail etc installed. The work was done quickly with little mess to a very good standard. When a couple of problems happened with sub-standard fittings (not supplied by the builders) they went out of their way to correct them/replace them so that we now have a lovely bathroom. My wife is delighted which means I am more than happy!

John was very easy to work with and did an excellent job on my kitchen refit. The ripped-out materials were neatly organised in the corridor on tarps to protect the carpet. He organised the removal and cleaned the corridor and stair once it was gone. My neighbours even commented how appreciative they were of this. He spent time fitting the new components into the kitchen, including modifying cabinets to fit my sloped walls and creating additional shelves from the excess wood. John sanded and oiled the wood worktops at least 3 times so that it had a perfect, durable finish. Many other little touches that made the job a real success. I could not be more happy with the his work and my new kitchen.

John is a friendly, amiable person who undertakes his work enthusiastically in a professional manner. I had bought a Wickes kitchen and this was one of their recommended fitters. The old kitchen had to be completely stripped including the flooring which was left clean and tidy. He organised his team, electrician, gasman, plasterer, in a business like way and they were punctual and performed their work well. John listened to what my requirements were and carried out the work accordingly cleaning and tidying up after. Unforseen problems were discussed and he would explain his intentions to overcome them and, with his long experience in the trade, tell me and demonstrate the quality of some of the fittings/connections and materials used that in some cases were better than the ones supplied. He also gave me a good quote for fitting the floor in the kitchen and hallway which he did to a high standard re-doing a bit, I was not too happy with, to my satisfaction. All the work was done satisfactorily to a high standard and to the estimated cost. I would use this man again and recommend him for this type of work.Moreexpand_more

Jon was very hands on from day one and worked with us very closely. He listened to all our ideas and was very good at explaining how best we could achieve them. He always kept us very much in the loop and the work he did was fantastic. There were extra things we asked for and he was happy to accommodate us and never once did we feel that we were being treated unprofessionally. I am more than happy to say that I would without hesitation use Urban Refurb again and will in the future.

John was a real pleasure to deal with. His quote to fit our kitchen was the cheapest, and the end result was brilliant. John's experience and expertise meant that we were able to overcome some unforeseen issues thrown up by the unusual shape of our property. John kept us informed every step of the way and left the place looking great. We've already found a number of other projects we'd like John to help us with!

It was worth the wait. John had a good eye for detail and customised certain components to fit our wonky kitchen.

John installed my Wickes kitchen which went well so I asked him to also install my bathroom and lay wooden flooring as the quotes he provided were competitive. He was able to do the work with minimum involvement from me and was excellent to deal with and very helpful with suggestions. I felt comfortable with John and his team in the house and they always left it clean and tidy at the end of each day. I would use John again.

We booked Urban Refurb to install an oak kitchen worktop and remove the old one. The guys were punctual, very professional and knowledgeable with a good friendly manner. It must have been a messy job, but when I came home from work they'd cleared everything way, and the kitchen looked sparkling. It was a great job and I was particularly impressed with the carpentry skills, creating the rounded corners at the end of the worktop. I would use John and his team again. Thanks guys.

We had a new kitchen purchased from Wicks and installed by John. From the moment we met him we felt at ease. He talked us through everything and all through the works he kept us informed of progress. As we have an Victorian property not all the space is even and so John made bespoke fitting to fit with the standard units. The result a perfect kitchen. He completed and/or organised everything from plastering,electrics, plumbing and installation. A really first class job.

The results of my kitchen were exactly as the design with personal additions that I was proud off. All in all, it was exceptional work and will use John and his team again for future Jobs I may have. Many Thanks. Isaac (Islington).

John installed recently our kitchen. He provided a good service. He was recommended by our landlord. He always presented in a very polite and friendly manner, he is a trustworthy person, you can rely on him at all times. We were pleased at the end with the overall quality and look of the Wickes kitchen. There were some delays at times with the suppliers of materials but at the end the job was done within reasonable time and till today we are enjoying very much the results. Definitely we recommend John as a professional builder.

I was very impressed with the level of service and quality of workmanship provided. The work was carried out to the agreed timescale and communication was very straightforward. I would definitely reccommend this company to anyone else.

John installed a new kitchen for us last year. The standard of work was fantastic. He was prompt, polite and extremely tidy. Highly recommended.

Really happy with the work carried out by Urban Contracts when they installed my Wickes' kitchen. They went over and above, doing small bits of maintenance and extras as they went along which was really helpful. Also good communication with me throughout and generally really nice guys to have about the place. Would reccommend!
