Charles James Developments

All the projects look great, quality workmanship. We look to work with you on some up and coming projects. Best wishes.

I cannot recommend this company enough, from the get go there passion was so apparent, from the enthusiasm of the plans down to the fine detail of the completed project, they did not disappoint. Being extremely apprehensive about the project, as it was the first major structural change the firm made this experience a very pleasant one. Communication was excellent, the work completed was outstanding and second to none, the workers were fantastic and made the whole process extremely easy. I found everybody approachable and a problem was never left unfixed. The quote given was competitive and the budget set was the budget spent even with all the problems that occured along the way. They went above and beyond with all aspects of the work and made everything simple without worry. We were so happy with the project undertook we decided to have the bathroom done as an extra, we left the designing to Charles James and they delivered a modern stylish bathroom with added extras, which made it that extra bit special. They put our ideas and thoughts into reality and we couldn't be happier with the results. We will always use Charles James for future renovations and we can't thank them enough for their hard work and commitment throughout the whole process. They will be starting our attic conversion in the new year and we cannot wait to see what plans they have in store.

Dean and Will delivered with quality. The team was professional and highly competent. We were very pleased with the eventual outcome.

On the recommendation of my brother-in-law we had Dean and Will come and have a look at our garden project in May this year. Previously it was a mix of paving and grass with overgrown flower beds. For a reasonable space it felt small, awkward and unusable. We agreed on a plan of low maintenance artificial grass, with composite decking and membrane plus stone to keep the weeds down. The quote was very reasonable and when we asked questions based on what others had told us Dean was able to explain in layman's terms why he chose the methods he would employ. The work took two weeks and communication was easy. I can honestly say we have been in the garden all summer and now that the weather is turning my children are still out there more than ever. It really has changed the way we use the space and it was worth every penny! We have since started collaborating on interiors projects, so impressed was I with their work ethic and customer service.

We hired Charles James to transform our tired gallery style kitchen, reception room and lean to conservatory into one livable space. Their craftsmanship, creativity and project management skills are exemplary. The final product far out exceeded our expectations and the new space has totally changed the way we live. From day one their communication was first class, they are reliable and courteous with an array of skilled tradesman. Would highly recommmed.

We have used Charles James for a couple of projects and each time Dean, Will and all of the team have been excellent, really respectful of our house and a pleasure to have around. All of the work that has been done for us (general building, kitchen fitting, electrical and tiling) has been of a really high standard. We can’t speak highly enough of Charles James and would use them every time.

I can't recommend Charles James enough. From initial discussions to them finishing up they were a joy to deal with. Professional, courteous, respectful and most importantly RELIABLE. Turn up when they say they will, do what they say they'll do, and the quality of work is fantastic. Everybody who comes in to the kitchen and orangery has the 'wow' moment. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for - Charles James are first class. If you're looking for quality trades and a reliable contractor, speak to them and nobody else.

I contacted Charles James for a quote to remove a load bearing wall between our kitchen dinner and living room. When Dean from Charles James arrived he was punctual and reassures that the job could be completed. When the work commenced my wife and I were kept up to date throughout the project and Dean was always available to answer any questions. The work was completed on time and to a very high standard. Importantly for my wife and I all the tradesmen were pleasant, arrived on time and all the work completed was to a very high standard. Often the quality of work is judged by repeat business. Therefore weeks later Charles James returned to complete a much needed bathroom upgrade, and again the work was to the highest standard. Since the work has completed there have been no issues at all and have recommended Charles James to family, friends and would recommend to all.

Couldn’t recommend enough. We had a loft conversion with dorma alongside an overhaul of the rest of the house. The team were reliable, trustworthy and made sure any snags were sorted at the end of the job. Would definitely use again.

Dean and his team are a rare breed - a builder who is true to his word and who does not rip you off. A complete professional from beginning to end, the boys completely rebuilt a three bed ram-shackled property in Roath, and, within 10 weeks had refurbished it to an extremely high standard. It was a hundred times better than anything you see in the makeover programmes on TV. The pixies had visited Roath with avengeance!!!!!!!!!!
