When I encountered a damp problem under the floor of my 150 year old flat, I immediately contacted Danny.The problem turned out to be much more extensive than originally evident but DTJ’s experience, expertise, positivity, flexibility, hard work and attention to detail got the job done.DTJ are trustworthy, reliable and always do what they say they will when they say they will do it.Danny has a brilliant team who always work hard to cause as little disruption as possible and in as clean and tidy a manner as possible.I recommend DTJ very highly and would not hesitate to use them again.
DTJ were recommended to us and we get why!The project involved extending our kitchen and installing bigger windows in our day room; it was a big job. Danny's team were all incredibly helpful, dedicated and always willing to answer questions.We love the end result, and it has transformed our family living space for the better.We'd happily recommend DTJ for any building work!Wayne & Leela
Danny and his team transformed our kitchen and dining room into a kitchen, utility room and bathroom. We are so pleased with the results and the professional service throughout. Recommended!
Danny and his team recently finished work on our extension and have been absolutely superb throughout. The quality of work is outstanding and all the tradespeople in Danny’s team who worked on the project were extremely professional, courteous and took pride in the high quality of work.Danny’s communication was excellent, always keeping us to date and being transparent and honest about timescales, costs and adjustments.When you’re spending significant amounts of money and have builders in your home for several months, trust is everything and Danny made us feel comfortable, confident and reassured throughout. He’s a model professional and I greatly valued being able to benefit from his years’ of experience on everything from door selection to paint choice.But, as the parent of a young family, probably the most important thing is how considerate the team were of us during the work. During a building project, upheaval is practically guaranteed but Danny went out of his way to plan work to minimise the impact on our family life, including doing internal work while we were away and sectioning off areas for safety and to reduce noise and dust. I’m sure it was inconvenient for them at times, but it made a huge difference to us and our children and was greatly appreciated.All of which is to say that I’d heartily recommend DTJ to anyone considering a building project in the Edinburgh area. I know for sure that we’ll be using their services again in the future!
Well another excellent job delivered on time and on budget by DTJ Joinery & Building! After working with Danny and his team on our extension and kitchen renovation, I wouldn't work with anyone else so I was happy when Danny was able to fit in our bathroom refurb with a tight 3 week turnaround just before Christmas! The great thing about working with Danny and his team is that I'm confident he can take my half-baked ideas and turn them into something magic - well he certainly delivered for our bathroom refurb! Designing as we went - his team of top joiners and plumbers (and painters in the end) delivered something truly special and I managed to get my Christmas day bath in my new roll-top bath! A special mention too for delivering really eye catching wood panelling around the bathroom - a real talking point at our Hogmanay party! Thanks again to Danny and the team - with Danny at the helm, I can assure you that your home improvement works will be in safe hands, delivered on time, on budget, with minimal stress and a top-quality finish!
I highly recommend DTJ Builders based on the exceptional quality of work they undertook on our side extension project. Danny carefully listened to my requirements but also came up with his own great ideas which I was really impressed with! The entire process was smooth and stress-free. The quality of work was very high with great attention to detail. Very responsive to communications and good at keeping me informed as work progressed.Danny is very enthusiastic and brings with him great experience. He is reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy and a very hardworking professional with excellent workmanship skills.Thankyou DTJ Team for all your hard work.The results are sooo much better than I could have ever imagined! 😊
We highly recommend Danny and his team. They did an excellent job in removing a load bearing wall to create a large kitchen/dining room which included installing the kitchen, flooring, radiators and all other work required for completion. The renovation work also included installing an inset electric fire in our living room. All work was completed to excellent standard with the end result exceeding our expectations. Danny was always available to answer questions and give advice on improvements to our plans and we were kept informed on the progress of the work which was completed within the expected timescale and budget. His team were very professional and friendly. We could not be happier with the final result.
The DTJ team was outstanding start to finish. Communication before the job was excellent. Danny was flexible with timing of the job, which made organising it much easier. The team worked quickly, efficiently and did an exceptional job with our side extension, porch and garden wall. Coordination between the different team members was brilliant, ensuring that everything went smoothly and to schedule. Danny was friendly, comfortable to be around, trustworthy and professional with excellent workmanship skills…we felt like he was part of the family! We highly recommend Danny and his amazing team and will definitely be using their services again!
We asked Danny and his team to undertake a big renovation project that has been carried out over two phases, extending into the garage to create new bedrooms and bathroom, as well as knocking down internal walls to make a bigger kitchen/ living space. They have been fantastic!Danny is always available to answer questions and come up with solutions - nothing is ever a problem. Both he and his team are friendly and personable and take great pride in their work - with the end result being an incredibly high standard.As with any job there have been a few unavoidable hiccups on the way that we're sure would have derailed many builders and led to long delays, but Danny is always willing to go the extra mile to find a way to keep things on track and to keep us informed of what's happening.We've got to know Danny and his team so well over the past year we will even miss seeing them when they're finished!We're very happy with the new space in our house - thanks DTJ for making it happen! If you are about to undertake any building project, big or small, we would thoroughly recommend DTJ!
Danny’s workmanship is extremely good, as is that of his team. The materials used were as perspecifications, and he was very flexible in the way we ordered various items between us. His advice was invaluable in the way that the building works were progressed and how they were finished. He sets himself and his team very high standards, with his ethos being that his business will be based and judged on the quality of their workmanship. I certainly have no problem in recommending Danny and his team in this respect. Great attention to detail was evident throughout.Value wise, Danny’s Quote was not the cheapest we received, but it was his reputation and the way he communicated with us that swayed us to accept it. His professional attitude and realistic views when he visited the site gave us confidence in his abilities and commitment to the project. We certainly were not disappointed in accepting his quote. No project of this size goes exactly to plan, and there were issues with lead times for materials and and a problem with the doors for the garage conversion, all of which were largely out of Danny’s control, but it was how he dealt with these problems that was impressive; re-arranging the ongoing work to keep to schedule and pushing the suppliers and subcontractors to resolve the issues. There were very few snagging problems at the end of the work as there are in all projects of this size, all of which were promptly dealt with as they were identified.Danny and his team were always courteous and friendly. Great communication and consultation kept the disruption caused by the works to a minimum. I have no hesitation in recommending DJT to anyone who is looking for a quality result, backed by a builder who places quality, professionalism and customer service at the centre of his business.
