Firstly, I am the first to admit I am a fussy customer. Affordable Home has been fantastic and bent over backwards to ensure that I am happy with my extension. Yes, granted, there have been a few hurdles to jump over as there were some unexpected issues (what project is ever plain sailing?) - However, Affordable Home quickly resolved these issues. Thank you to all the team for your hard work - we are very happy with our new extension.

Near completion of our orangery, interior design and landscaping project with James and his team. I have thoroughly enjoyed the process where attention to detail and customer care is held in the highest regard. The experience and knowledge they possess to make plans and ideas become a reality has enabled us to transform our home. Thank you James and team for all your hard work in making our home something truly special!!

James came to quote for a conservatory on 11th January. At that stage we were only thinking that we would be able to afford one. The quote came in very reasonable and work started almost immediately,
What a fantastic experience. The guys are all passionate about their work and really want to do a good job.
James contacted us on a daily basis to make sure we were satisfied with the work. The Conservatory is now all up, just waiting for us to decorate, and we love it. I would not hesitate in recommending Affordable Home Improvements for any home improvements, and I will certainly use them
