What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

LJ Building & Maintenance Services, led by Louis, has earned a strong reputation in Portsmouth for building and maintenance work carried out to a consistently high standard. Customers describe Louis as a true craftsman whose attention to detail sets his work apart, whether fitting a new bathroom, replacing kitchen worktops and sinks, or handling brickwork, repointing and lintel replacements during a garage renovation. Reviewers often mention his punctuality and reliability, noting that he arrives when he says he will and works solidly until the job is finished.

Clear communication is a recurring theme, with customers appreciating honest explanations of what will be done and what it will cost before work begins. Pricing is widely described as fair and reasonable, and one account mentions additional repointing carried out at no extra charge. Tidiness also comes up often, with Louis clearing up after himself so thoroughly that a customer barely noticed he was there. His friendly and courteous manner is frequently praised, as is his willingness to take on short-notice jobs and put right work originally done by others. Repeat business and referrals follow, and reviewers value his expertise across bathroom installations, kitchen fitting and structural repairs.

Louis is very professional and very passionate about his work. We found him very easy to work with and his workmanship was outstanding and very fairly priced. He went beyond our expectation in his service delivery. Very patient and understanding as well. We could not recommend him enough. And will definitely be using his services again. Thank Louis for such a great job and we really appreciate it.

Amazing work from Louis and his team, all in the lead up towards Christmas. Full bathroom removal and refit. Excellent quality work, resulting in a beautiful bathroom. Kept us informed the whole time and provided a fair quote for the work completed. Would not hesitate to use again for further works on our home. Thank you Louis!

Always goes the extra mile to ensure we were happy with the design idea. He has made the experience as stress free as possible and we will 100% only use lou for any future work in the house.

Had a few problems with previous tradesmen, however not this time. Louis is highly skilled and removed a section of wall exactly as we wanted and finished to a very high standard. Reasonable price and even did some repointing at no extra cost. Would definitely use again

Louis came round to extend a downpipe for me. He was super responsive, reasonable and able to fit the job in quickly even before he came round then when here he was great - lovely to chat to, tidied up after himself and I barely knew he was here to be honest. Would 100% recommend! Thanks again Louis.
