John Duncan NE Ltd

I had a large loft hip to gable extension, master bathroom, ensuite and kitchen extension done by Duncan and his team. They were professional and personable from start to Finnish and not only listened to plans but we're really invested in making a space that works for you. There were some unexpected holdups as there always are on any build but Duncan went above and beyond to put his clients mind at ease and solve issues quickly and effectively. Overall I was very happy with the design and construction of the job on my house and I have used him again for other work as well as recommended him to friends and family.

John Duncan Design/Build/Live refitted a bathroom and two en-suite shower rooms and built two new en-suite wardrobes. The innovative design made the best use of the space and natural light. The work was completed ahead of time and to a high standard. The team of workmen were reliable and hard working they also left the work site clean and tidy each day. We are very happy with the quality of the work completed.

Duncan and his team completed a garage conversion and fitted a new kitchen for me last year. From planning, knocking down walls, plastering, tiling and eveything in between, they were brilliant! Very professional and lovely to get along with. Everything was finished perfectly and on time. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone.

5*+ realy, I had asked other builders to quote for the work. Adapting our bathroom to make it more accessible for my disabled wife. One quoted so high it was clear they didn't want the work. Others said they couldn't do what we needed. On his first visit Duncan told us how the work would be done. Later the same day he sent drawings of the intended work, told me what he would supply and what I should buy for personal choice. He gave a ballpark price. Told me what day the work would start and how long it would take. His crew arrived on the appointed day and started straight away and stayed with the job until the work was complete, on the day they said. Before they left they removed all the waste material, cleaned up immaculately. The price was as agver went up Duncan was a man of his word start to finish. His crew were hard working and friendly, just keep the tea or coffee going. It was a difficult job completed compiteny No snagging needed. I would use them again at the drop of a hat.

Duncan did a garage to kitchen conversion for us. He took care of everything. In our case, he took a job that was complicated that other builder had turned down. Duncan handles all the tradespeople and paperwork for you. We were so pleased with his work that we hired him again for a kitchen extension and a downstairs toilet for my mother.

I had a loft conversion completed by Duncan Binnie and his team 13 years ago, their team were immaculate workers, very thorough in listening to what I wanted to achieve and kept me up to date every step of the way. The work was completed at the exact time scale that they gave me and to A very high standard. 13 years on, I wanted to replace the circular Jacuzzi bath with a shower cubicle in the en-suite but because of the very unique shape and build no builders were willing to estimate for the renovation that I required. I reached out to John Duncan again to see if it was something they could do for me. As per usual Duncan was very positive and upbeat and everything’s possible attitude. I now have my life conversion fully renovated to My requirements and once again, Duncan and his team were soo efficient and every fine detail finished to perfection. Highly recommend this company/ builder for any building requirements . Kerry

In one word, Duncan Binnie is exceptional! He designed and built my two bedroom dream bungalow and throughout the whole period nothing was too much trouble. He worked closely with me from concept -design-and every aspect of its construction and interior design fittings and finishings. His attention to detail is second to non and his customer care is first class. Living so comfortably and enjoying my beautiful home, I will be forever grateful that I chose him.

Excellent job from start to finish. Duncan came measured up for a conversation from a two bed to a three bedroom after being recommended, he drew up a few layout plans without charge and emailed them over, happy with the plans we went ahead. Great set of lads that came to do the job. Tidy, cleaned up after every shift and good customer relations. All round great job.
