About A K John Building & Refurbishment

A K John Building and Refurbishment takes on extensions, loft and garage conversions, full house refurbishments, kitchens and bathrooms, structural alterations, brickwork, rendering, groundworks, garden rooms and new build work across Manchester and Greater Manchester. One person runs it and is who you deal with.

It is deliberately not a large operation. That has a cost and a benefit, and both are worth saying: fewer jobs can run at once, and the person who quotes your job is the person on it.

No scheme logos, no cover badge and no membership marks, because there are none to show. That is worth saying plainly rather than leaving a gap where most builders put a row of badges.

No prices either. An extension is not a rate, and a number on a website that turns into a different number after a site visit is the single most common complaint people have about this trade.

A visit, then a written quote that itemises what is included and what would change the number. Where something genuinely cannot be known until a floor comes up or a wall opens, the quote says that rather than hiding it and producing it later as a variation.

During the job, being told what is happening. Most of the stories people tell about builders are not about bad work. They are about not being told, and that is a choice rather than a difficulty.
