Please accept my sincere apology

Please accept my sincere apology, I did indeed get the wrong MJL, and having looked and searched your web site, I can see your attitude to your work seems to be something we could only dream about! Looks to be a very good professional job - if only everybody worked to the same exacting standards hey - hey, Wains, if you are reading this as well.

Sorry, I expect you were surprised by the content of my comments, didn't sound great did it, my comments were for a Mr Lugg's company, NOT, a Mr Oxley.

I wish I had returned to the site and noticed my error earlier, sorry.

Came back today to see if would be able to post more, concerning the fire risks of a bodged job, by MJL staff - site foreman - that again is just hidden, it matters, if the worst should happen and you have a fire, it matters - I would not have known if I had not been stood right beside him, but I have a conscience, and although I said something at the time to the manager, nothing was done to either investigate it, or correct - it simply had to be ready for an NHBC inspection that same day - it means fire, fume, hot gas, could potentially circumvent a fire collar between two flats - the whole job was done poorly, even though Wain Homes claim to have such rigorous high standards - yeah, really?! On paper only I would suggest - it is a bit like buying a brand new car, at full price, but with three bold tyres, a hole in the exhaust, rust, dented panels, and a flat battery - it isn't right, it isn't fair on people - there are no defects with their money - and I will stand up and say so. I have told the council about much of it, but I am not sure how much they even understand sometimes.

I hope you will accept my apology, and that everyone will understand that my first post was not meant for this company, it was an error.

David.

Afternoon David, no problem at all and of course your apology is accepted. We often get confused with the other company but are at completely opposite ends of the country. I must admit it was a concerning read indeed and concerning for the industry. We hope that you can get your concerns raised and lessons learnt where needed. Thanks David and all the best.

Really great job from Matt and the…

Really great job from Matt and the team. Extended patio and dug out existing back lawn, levelled and laid new decorative stone chippings. Carried out some additional work which was not in original request from me at no extra. Really good service.

Raised patio extension and fence

We had our patio extended by around 1 meter over its full length. (Around 6 meters) and then a fence built by MJL. They did an excellent job and it has completely transformed our back yard. Very friendly, hard working lads with a lot of experience behind them and they left the place nice and tidy when all completed. We’d definitely recommend them and will use MJL again in the near future when we extend around the side of the house. Excellent job.

Excellent Unique and Tailored Construction Team

The MJL approach, quality of assessment and works carried out, have remained excellent over many months.
Alongside their technical professionalism, they have extended themselves in a most respectful and informative manner towards all the residents here. All in all our experience with MJL has been nothing short of exceptional.
MJL are a shinning example of professionalism when it comes to both the quality of the work under taken and the daily customer service being respectfully offered to the residents on our development.
Highly recommended
