PEAKE Projects London Ltd

Peake Projects renovated our entire house and also built our kitchen extension over the past few months. This should be quite a stressful and complicated process but James and his team made it anything but. They were incredibly organised, delivered on time and the result was just perfect. I have been blown away by how thorough the work has been executed, we really couldn't be happier. I have also been really impressed by how tidy and organised they have been throughout, always leaving the house in a nice way at the end of the day, even when we didn't live there. I really, really could not recommend James & Peake Projects enough and we are beyond happy with the way everything turned out.

Very impressed with Peake Projects - professional, diligent and incredibly hard-working. The team were lovely to work with, and took great pride in their services. Couldn't recommend them highly enough, and we'll be hoping to work with them again on future projects.

Instructing a builder requires a judgment call on choosing the builder that provides the right balance between a number of factors such as quality of build and finish, pricing, reliability and communication/ connection. For us (and for others we have recommended Peake Projects to) James and his team offered exactly the mix we needed - great quality work, fair pricing, reliable team and excellent rapport with James and his main project lead. We were unfortunate to be mid-project when the pandemic struck, awaiting the imminent birth of our second child. James went into solution mode and worked with us to progress the project, when permitted to so by government guidance. As mentioned above, we have referred James to friends - both of whom have been delighted with the results. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with James again.

James and his team have just finished our garden flat renovation. The work included an extension, removal of structural walls, full rewiring, fitting of a new kitchen and loads of other big jobs, so not trivial. Building work can be stressful at times but James, Adam, Sasha, Andrew, Vlad, Igor and everyone else in the team have made it less so. Helping with big decisions and always making the right ones in terms of design and fixtures and fittings. Having someone we could trust was invaluable. James always kept us right throughout the whole process, which we massively appreciated as we are first-time home renovators. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend James to friends and family. In fact, I have already done so. We will be using James for all future work we want to do to our flat.

PEAKE Projects did a kitchen side return, new bathrooms and a full refurb of our house in Wandsworth between the commons over an eight-month period. The quality of the work was excellent in every respect and all the professionals on site were extremely polite, hard working and pleasant individuals. Attention to detail was second to none. We were very budget conscious and are happy to say that James Peake delivered exactly what he promised in the timeframe we had agreed. When we wanted some extras (and there were many of those), he was very reasonable in finding compromises that worked for everyone. James is a very nice and trustworthy gentleman which is essential for such a large project. He visited the site regularly to make sure everything was in order and found effective solutions whenever we hit a road block. We could not recommend James and his outstanding team more.

PEAKE Projects where reliable and professional from beginning to end. They work to an extremely high standard, the quality of their work was outstanding. James Peake has a great head for understanding the design and was always there to offer advise and deal with things as they arose. They were also reasonably priced in relation to the quality of work and didn't keep adding costs as little snags came up. One of the things that really impressed me was how respectful they were to the house during the build...always leaving the space clean at the end of the day and protecting the rest of our home. I would highly recommend James and his team and will definitely be using them again in the future.

James helped us with a full refurb of our apartment: UFH, flooring, re-wiring, windows, doors, kitchen, bathroom, joinery and decoration. Job was completed on-budget and we’re very happy with the outcome.

I have literally no reservations in giving Peake Projects five stars. They have been, from the first moment to the completion of a five-month job, professional, helpful, tidy, full of good ideas, and a pleasure to have around. ( How often can one say that!?) Each member of the team, independently, has been someone we could feel we could wholly rely on. They have gone beyond their job description to complete things on time, make the extra changes or details that make all the difference, and have been entirely considerate. We also believe that they would make intelligent decisions based on any problem that cropped up, and would always contact us if that was the case. The team is so experienced that we have full faith in their ability to carry out another rather complex building project that we are now about to embark on with them. It is an absolute pleasure to review Peake Projects so enthusiastically.

No job is too small for Peake Projects! When our study ceiling collapsed due to a leaking pipe, I immediately called James. He and his team went above and beyond, not only with the ceiling repair but with ‘making good’ the entire room. His team was efficient and incredibly polite, and the work was completed in very good time. Full marks and very strong recommendation for Peake Projects!

James and the Peake Projects team were involved with our kitchen renovation - which we were forced into due to leaking pipes from the previous renovation - from the very early planning stages, through to the final fix and fit. The work is of a uniformly high standard, the project management was excellent as was the overall communication level. The good levels of communication and planning ensured that there were very few surprises as the build progressed and anything that wasn't exactly right the first time was put straight very quickly. Pricing and billing matters were as transparent as possible with all costs discussed up front and documented. We are delighted with the work and would recommend Peake Projects to other homeowners.

We used Peake Projects London Ltd to do a long over due office facelift. The office was looking very tired and we painted all the internal walls, woodwork, radiators, office doors and front door. The office looks completely different and so bright now. The feedback from our tenants has been very positive and the attention to detail was spot on. I would highly recommend Peake Projects London Ltd.

Another efficient project completed on our property by this team! Interiors last year, exterior this year. We keep going back for more, and they keep delivering :) Thanks Peake Projects!

After twenty years of hard use - normal living but also little children and subsidence which caused havoc re cracks and movement - we've been refurbishing our house. It was in a bad state of repairs when James and his team arrived to restore it and beyond. We completed stage one just before Christmas. Two brand new bedrooms, a new bathroom, cracks repaired beautifully, a refurbished roof terrace and more besides. I am so happy with the work. James is very easy to communicate with. Likewise his builders. We couldn't afford to move out and they had to work round us during lock down while my son was home schooling and I was working from home. Things must have been good because we're now about to start stage two: the lower parts of the house including refurbishing another bedroom, a shower room and adding a small extension to our kitchen. Of course, part of me is NOT looking forward to having builders again but I really do confidence that it's worth it and that James and his team will make part 2 as painless as possible. And, judging by the quality of the first stage, we are going to have a most beautiful house. I would definitely recommend James and his team.

James removed the living room dividing wall and the back room chimney breast, turning a narrow through living room into a wider more open plan space. I'd spoken to a number of builders about it at various points over the last 10 years and he was the only one who really understood what we were trying to achieve. We were particularly impressed that his team managed to remove and refit some intricate Victorian coving which provided the finishing touch for bringing the space together.

James did a big project for me several years ago and when I had a smaller problem in my current home he kindly came and helped me out. As well as a great builder, he's a gentleman and a gentle man. He still works with the same architect he did on my previous project 13 years ago and I think that says something about a person. Would definitely recommend.

I would highly recommend Peake Projects, are Project not only completed on time and in budget. The finish was exemplary, great eye for detail and everyone was highly professional. Very very happy with our finished bathroom .

Peake were recommended to me by a friend to get my basement remodelled - they were incredibly efficient and professional. Skilled and experienced team with a very refreshing can do attitude when there were changes in the plan or obstacles encountered and flexibility to mean that the work was completed on time and on budget as promised, high quality finish. Great suppliers and network of specialists could not recommend James and team highly enough.

James and his team are fantastic. We needed a lot of work on a property that needed some love and we got that and more.. James consulted with us on our options and gave us a really exciting plan which was executed to perfection. We had our whole house repainted and plastered along with the bathroom completely re-fitted and the finish is exceptional. On the few issues we’ve had after completion, james’ team came back and sorted with minimal fuss and we are just so happy in our new home! Couldn’t reccomend more highly.

If anybody tells you a major build is straightforward, just roll your eyes at them. They will be lying or stupid or both. All builds have their own narratives, with ups and downs. The only thing you can do to mitigate the stress and strain is to have the right personnel on your side. Having been through a seven month build with James Peake and his team, I can tell you they are the right personnel. They are thorough, detailed, hard working, professional and flexible. On the face of it, ours was nothing major: essentially a reorganisation of building footprint and the installation of a new kitchen. In reality, it was a once in a generation make-over and re-enforcement for a building in search of the love we didn't know it needed. There were multiple steels, dig outs, rewires and plumbing exercises. And that was all before we got to the fun part: the finish. James and his team of extremely cheerful workmen, navigated the ever changing scenario and then helped us to realise the kitchen we wanted. Would I do it again? No, not in a hurry. But I'm very glad that when I did do it, it was with James Peake on our side.

We have been using James Peake's company to refurbish our house three years ago. The amount of work that was needed made us think it would take the best part of half a year. However, James has been able to fully complete the job within 4 months. To our delight, this was done with the most amazing care for our situation as we were living at the house during the work. The builders were extremely courteous and helpful with any queries we had. The finishing was absolutely wonderful and we have been living in the house of our dreams ever since. Thank you so much James.

James helped us refurbish our house, one or two rooms at a time, over a period of years, and we found him great to work with. He's very creative in his own right, but also truly collaborative. For example, he was happy to come with us to the fixtures and fittings shop, where we researched and found the perfect handles for our cupboard doors; and to the architectural salvage place, where we found the recycled school laboratory benches that James and his team turned into work surfaces for our refurbished kitchen. (See pics.) He was also good at adapting his ambitions for our house to our budget, so that we got the most from his team we could for our money.

Jame Peake and his team renovated my apartment in the Alaska Buildings near London Bridge 12 years ago and it still looks just as beautiful as the day they completed the work. They did a magnificent job - on time, on budget, and with real attention to every detail. I recommend Peake Projects without reservation. Working with James was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Working with James and his team over the years has turned our house in to home that's beautiful and suits or needs precisely. Communication is where James excels - from understanding and cleverly interpreting our brief, next navigating us through the build stage then ultimately delivering a high end finish. This was done near enough on time but miraculously on budget, remarkable.
