    For anyone looking for a top quality company then Aspire is definitely for you. These guys are excellent, they do what they say and manage any project end to end. They have recently extended my kitchen and the end product is in my opinion first class and completed in a highly coordinated way with customer service and quality of work uppermost. The whole Aspire team are skilled professionals who can be relied upon to do what they say and to a very high standard. I cannot recommend Aspire too highly. Excellent company so pleased to have found them, they… [read more]

    Aspire recently fitted my new kitchen and I have been very happy with the whole process. They ripped out and disposed of the old one, only brought what they needed onto site when they needed it so my house wasn’t full of boxes and tidied up after themselves when they left. The whole crew were always polite and friendly. Most particularly, they seemed to take pride in producing a great finish to the whole job. All in all, it was a relatively painless experience with a very satisfactory outcome.

    I had a complete kitchen remodel over almost three weeks in November. I cannot fault the wonderful guys who removed everything and created a beautiful new space for me. The fitting and sizing of every unit and appliance was excellent and they constantly checked with me to ensure I was happy with the work they were doing. They also tiled the walls above the countertops and the floor. In addition I had new lights fitted in a very high ceiling (which involved) a lot of crawling around in a narrow roof space. Every part of the job was performed by… [read more]

    We are so delighted with the building works and kitchen fitting completed by Aspire . Aspire basically removed the back of our house and put in bifolds, knocked through internal weight bearing walls and fitted a kitchen, tiled floors , completed electrical works etc. From start to finish they were professional and we felt we had full trust in them . Jeremy , Marcus and all the guys that work with them are a credit and actually a pleasure to have in our home. Always made sure that they were delivering on our requirements, kept us fully updated on timescales…. [read more]

    Aspire construction completed a renovation for my husband and I a couple of weeks ago. I am not one for writing reviews however I felt that Aspire construction were so wonderful I wanted to give my feedback. The work they do undertook for me was removing walls, plastering, electrical re-wiring, changing windows, fitting radiators, reflooring and a whole host of other jobs which I added as the build went along. Jeremy, Marcus and team had all the skills and knowledge that were needed to complete the job which meant never having to wait for any other… [read more]

    I would highly recommend Jeremy and his team. We have an old house, which estate agents would say is “full of character,” most builders find it a nightmare. No surface is flat, nothing is straight, there are no right angles. However this team got on with it and with great skill and craftsmanship fitted a downstairs cloak room and utility room.They are trustworthy, got it finished quickly with the minimum of fuss. A great job.

    Jeremy and his team completed a kitchen re-fit for me in November 2020. It included not only the dry fit of the kitchen, but also moving the boiler, re plumbing, re wiring, moving the gas supply, re plastering, new skirting and doors, so a full domestic re-fit. The whole team were engaging and very knowledgeable, years of experience allowed them to not only complete the job to an immaculate finish, but they also talked through options on the smallest detail to give me the very best results.

    A long delayed piece of work due to COVID but Jeremy, Martin and Mark did a great job for us, ripping out old kitchen and bathroom and highly skilled first and second fit. Both areas look great. Jeremy had some useful design ideas for us and although the job was much more than we first thought – when you start pulling walls down you find all sorts – the team were helpful and tried to keep our costs down. I’d recommend Jeremy to anyone.

    This is the third time that we have had Jeremy and his team to do improvements at our house. This time it was to create an ensuite and fitted bedroom wardrobes. Jeremy, Martin and Mark did an excellent job as usual and the new ensuite in particular looks great. They completely ripped out the old bathroom including ceiling and floor andrebuilt it to our specification. Timely, friendly, and very good standard of workmanship. Highly recommended and we will use them again in the future.

    Heard great reviews about this company, needed a complete bathroom refurbishment and extension, not been disappointed. From beginning to end, lots of advice and they discovered a problem that in time would have been very costly! So not only bathroom but bedroom renovations too. Completely happy with the end product and such a friendly set of guys too, would highly recommend.

    We found Jeremy on Our Local Expert. We asked him and his team to convert the downstairs cloakroom and part of the hallway into a shower room with toilet and basin. This involved knocking down a wall, blocking an external door, moving the doorway and installing new fittings.The work was done professionally, on time and on budget. Jeremy, Mark and the rest of his team were courteous and tidy throughout the work.

    Jeremy and his team fitted our new kitchen a few years ago (on the recommendation of a friend). They did a great job so when we wanted our bathrooms replacing there was only one person to go to.The team (and in particular Martin) spent just over two weeks turning our first bathroom from drab and uninspiring to clean, fresh and bang up to date. It now looks absolutely wonderful and we are so pleased. Punctual, friendly, trustworthy people and most of all producers of a quality product with great attention to detail and liaison with the customer at every stage… [read more]

I have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending him to you. I trust him completely.

    We have used Jeremy for two builds now and have him booked in for two more. Small family firm who are polite , efficient, totally honest and really very very good quality work.This build was technically complex and Jeremy modified plans and engaged building inspectors without ruffling a feather. He endured a number of last minute changes forced upon him by us with a smile.You would not regret this choice.

    Jeremy and team completely refurbished our 1930’s house to a very high standard. Because we couldn’t move in to the house until most of the work was done, he worked long hours to enable us to do so, for which we are very grateful. The cost of the work matched the estimate. A very friendly team who are a pleasure to work with. We still have some work that needs to be done, and are confident that we will be happy with the results.

This is the 3rd time they have done work for us, the previous 2 being bathroom installations. In all cases they have come in on or under the estimated time.

    We now have a beautiful ensuite bedroom a study and a new hallway thanks to JR Cheeseman. From quoting the job to helping us with design choices and fitting the work to our budget they were brilliant. And when they started they worked like the clappers to a high standard and they really enjoy what they do. They flexed to our needs were fun to be around they kept to their budget price and finished the job on time. What more do you need ? Would definitely use them again.
