PV James renovated our period home before we moved in. The experience was made very easy with clear objectives from the outset and great advice on the various options which arose and the finer details. The work was carried out during a very difficult time in terms of working conditions and obtaining materials and Pelham and the team did everything they could to meet our objectives in a reasonable time in very difficult circumstances due to the pandemic. We couldn't be in better hands and communication was good. The team were polite, hard working, professional and helpful at all times, my neighbours were complimentary of the team also. The method of schedule invoicing they use means you only pay for work carried out to your satisfaction which gives great confidence. We are very happy with the quality of the work and their professionalism. We would not hesitate to recommend this company or use them again.
This company destroyed our home renovation in Buckinghamshire with total incompetence and lack of due care. Everything was in place for a straightforward overhaul of an old house which was unnoccupied and as the owners we were always ready to support and source what they needed. There were clear architect plans who were retained for the project so were on hand to support, yet PV James lost control of the work and left us with a complete botch job. The owner Pelham Vincent is completely out of his depth and more interested in his failing side projects than the building work he has on the go, which was clearly too many renovation jobs at once. Most of the people he sent were lacking in basic manners, skills and often hungover from the night before, or even still drunk! This took place in 2016/17 and it’s only because we have been fixing the problems they left and weighing up legal action against them that we have not been able to warn people off them before. Regrettably we had to accept legal action will be more trouble than it’s worth and we have already had three years of heartache and disappointment due to PV James. DO NOT GO NEAR THIS COMPANY!!!.
