Big Bean Construction ltd

Big Bean Construction did an exceptional job refurbishing my garden! Jeff (the owner) managed the project seamlessly, ensuring everything stayed on track, while George oversaw the team on-site with great attention to detail. Both were fantastic in their roles, and the entire crew was professional, skilled, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Throughout the process, they maintained excellent communication, worked efficiently, and were always friendly and accommodating. I absolutely loved the team—they made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The results speak for themselves, and I’ve received so many compliments on the transformation! I’m absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out and highly recommend Big Bean Construction to anyone looking for expert work and a reliable, professional team.

It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Jeff and the rest of the team at Big bean Construction. The process was smooth from start to finish and Jeff was accommodating with any last minute changes that came up with the project. That work has been completed to a very High standard and I am looking forward to work with Jeff and the team on my next Project.

We first met Jeff having been recommended by a friend well regarded in the construction industry. Jeff was very easy to work with from day one and was very clear and straightforward when working through the initial plans. The development process has been well managed and there has been clear communication throughout. When issues arose through no fault, Jeff was easy to reach and quick to support with resolutions. We are very pleased with the professional final finish of the project. We would happily recommend Jeff and look forward to working again with Jeff and his team soon.

Big Bean have been excellent from start to finish. Available, approachable and understanding, they provided a clear quote, regular updates and a timely project. Work was completed to a high standard and they were keen to achieve best possible job, including making proactive suggestions and purchasing decisions. Any problems were quickly resolved by an excellent proprietor and his great team. Thoroughly recommend.

I highly recommend Jeff and Big Bean. Big Bean's estimate was the second cheapest of four we had, but according to our surveyor, it was realistic and had some good ideas. We are delighted with the work they have done. The team were professional and polite, our "site" was tidied and swept at the end of each day and our ten week job was finished by the middle of week nine! Dealing with Jeff was a pleasure. Our surveyor was impressed with the workmanship too. Big Bean has transformed our impression of builders and we are now going ahead with a further project in complete confidence. Thank-you Jeff and we want you back!

We appointed Big Bean Construction for our flat. It was a complete refurbishment and some alterations to the floor plan. Jeff and his team were very reliable and always available to discuss the nature of works and what to be done. Also, we had a strict timeline for the completion of works and Jeff has put all efforts to meet the deadline on time. Jeff was all the time available and if something was needed urgently we immediately had it the next day as he is very reactive. We were very happy to have appointed Big Bean Construction and we highly recommend Jeff and we thank him for the works completed and for delivering on time.

Jeff and his company did an amazing job on a wholesale renovation of our flat, which involved an effectively complete demolition of the existing interior and refurbishment (including electrics). The work was carried out efficiently and considerately, with minimal disruption to our neighbours. The end result was a property finished to a very high standard, which benefitted considerably from Jeff's creative input. Highly recommended.

Jeff and team were very professional throughout the process. The work was finished to a high standard and aligned with the initial quote. Communication was good throughout the project as we navigated covid and supply chain issues. I’d highly recommend Jeff and team

Very happy with Jeff and the team at Big Bean construction. They did a side extension and double storey rear extension plus general refurb throughout the rest of the property. Jeff was honest and transparent with me throughout, telling me what things would cost upfront and why. We didn't have any cost overruns except for a few items that were not his fault - discovering we needed a new roof because of some issues the structural engineer missed for example. However in that situation Jeff gave me options and was very clear about what the costs were breaking it down clearly for me to review. We slipped by a couple weeks over the course of the project but all things considered - covid, labour stuck abroad, supply shortages, etc - that was a pretty good result in a 6 month project. Jeff and his team were very good at coming back after the end of the practical completion to fix items on the snagging list. The team were courteous and professional, being careful to clean up after themselves when in my home. Renovating a house is always a terrifying proposition to a newbie and as this was my first time I was understandably nervous but Jeff made the process a hell of a lot less terrifying than it could have been (and that friends and colleagues have relayed from their experiences with contractors!) so I would highly recommend Big Bean. They definitely weren't the cheapest option out there, but their prices were pretty competitive and you do pay for quality at the end of the day.

Jeff and his team were fantastic, some of the nicest, hard-working and considerate builders I have ever worked with. I have no hesitation in recommending Big Bean... and in fact, I have already referred them to a friend who is looking for a reliable, professional and trustworthy construction company for her ground floor extension.

Totally recommend Big Bean. Was a pleasure to work with.

We are delighted with the work that Big Bean Construction did in our home! Jeff and his team took over our project when unexpected problems surfaced and we started doubting the dedication of our original builders’ work. They advised us clearly on our options, making sure they understood our priorities, and then delivered the project with professionalism, attention to detail and a focus on customer satisfaction. We will be hiring them again! Five stars!

I have recently completed a residential project with Jeff and his team. They have been a pleasure to work with throughout. I was impressed with the communication from Jeff and the on site team, George and Rusi, and was regularly updated about progress on site. There were some real niche finishes and details in this project and they worked diligently to make sure that the design was carried out faithfully, to a very high standard. I highly recommend Big Bean for their excellent workmanship and positive, can-do approach, and hope to work with them again in future.

I have been working with Jeff several times and always very satisfied with quality I highly recommend Big Ben Construction

Jeff and his team were great to work with from start to finish and we are delighted with the end result. I’ve had 4 or 5 flat refurbs before and all have left me a little disappointed - not this one! The finish is high end, which is what we were after, with care given to every detail. We had the same team on site throughout the build - George and Rusi - who took pride in their work and care for our home. We had other trades coming in and out throughout the build so it was good to know they were on hand to oversee everything. The project scope kept changing as well, which Jeff took all in his stride and never made me feel bad for adding something in or taking another element out. I’d highly recommend their services.

We had a project in collaboration with Big Bean construction and it was absolutely brilliant. The quality standards were so high and we could count on them in every phase of the work. Also, deadlines were met and communication was smooth and useful. Thanks and hope to work together soon.

I worked with Jeff on one of his projects as the supplier of the radiators. Jeff was very professional and hard working. He was always available to deal with enquires and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Jeff and his team are professional and carry out works to a very high standard. He has a can do attitude and is full of brilliant ideas! I would fully recommend Big Bean Construction!

Cubbit Antiques have worked on and off with Big Bean construction for a number of years now providing clients with antique/mid century and Architectual items, We recently finished supplying some flooring and fireplaces for A project. Jeff seemed to know exactly what the client needed and I was happy to see such great pieces going to such a good project. Always extremely professional and was lucky to see the quality of finish on a project and would highly recommend.

I have been working with Jeff for few years now on different projects and I can confidently say that he is a serious and dedicated professional, very pleasant to work with.

Fantastic company to work with, excellent at solving problems, great people to do business with, Jeff is very reliable and friendly

We employed Big Bean to undertake our refurbishment after seeing their work on Houzz. We were delighted with the team and management. It was a tricky job in an old house and we are quite particular clients, so it was great that Jeff listened to our requirements and was able to deliver. We are very happy with the finished project and would not hesitate to recommend Jeff and his team.

I have worked with Jeff from Big Bean Constructions through Kia Designs and it was a great collaboration. It was easy to communicate, straight forward and to the point conversations. I have photographed a project that he finished and his work was amazing with very careful finishes and he delivered a totally beautiful project. I would definitely work with him again and i would recommend him to others.

Jeff and his team were fantastic to work with on a penthouse refurbishment we designed in Baker Street. They worked tirelessly to make sure that every part of the project was not only completed on time but with an attention to detail rarely seen in the industry. Would highly recommend Big Bean for projects and look forward to working with them again in the future.

I am so happy I chose Big Bean Construction to renovate my new flat. Jeff managed everything perfectly, he is professional, respectful and never had an issue on my 8 week project. I had to travel quite a lot so he took care of everything for me . The flat is beautifully finished and I totally recommend Big Bean Construction. I will choose them again in the future.

Flat in Angel that required extensive replastering and painting following some damage that occurred. Big Bean could not have been better. They were able to come in quicker than expected and completed the work with great care and attention. I'd strongly recommend Big Bean and its nice that Jeff maintains that personal touch and oversight on the project. His team are also really great and effective in getting stuff done.

Perfect job. Not only do they offer high quality finishes but they are incredibly effective in solving problems, always in wonderful harmony with the designers. VERY RECOMMENDED

Jeff has done a fantastic job for us in a tricky location - he has installed a new bathroom in a small flat with challenging access and we are very happy with the job. He has also generously helped out on other small jobs including providing a plumber for our son! A very helpful man - thank you so much

I worked with Big Bean on the refurbishment of a house. They were very efficient, very attentive, and very responsive, always available when needed. I defenetly recommend.

I can only say Congratulations for the wonderful work. Absolute professionals, attention to detail. We have completed a beautiful Tadelakt bathroom with Big Bean Construction Ltd. Quality materials installed by professional tradesman in a fixed periods of time without any delays. I will highly recommend Big Bean Constructions and I hope to work with them on many other projects.

Big Bean came highly recommended to me by a colleague who had a fantastic experience with them when renovating her flat. The project was to convert the loft in my Grade I listed almshouse in London. I met with Jeff who provided me with an extremely detailed and realistic estimate for the project. Jeff also worked with me to fully understand my vision for the project and had some excellent ideas for how best to use the space. The work started on time as agreed and the builders were extremely professional and diligent. It was also commented upon by the neighbors how tidy and generally considerate they were. The project was expertly managed by Jeff who was responsive and a pleasure to deal with. He worked with the architects, structural engineer and staircase designer to ensure a seamless and stress-free process from start to finish. I was particularly impressed by the fact that he visited the house every day to oversee the work, reporting back with updates and photographs. The project was completed to budget and there were absolutely no surprises or (not previously agreed) extras on the invoices. The team returned straightaway to go over the (extremely minimal) snagging points. The end-result is brilliant and to an extremely high standard. I would recommend Big Bean to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to use them again for any future work.

Extremely professional and accurate in the realisation of the work done , and available for any request and suggestions during the work

Jeff and his team did works for us including complete refurb of our kitchen/living/dining space, our inner courtyard including installation of a new wall, creation of a gym and various other works to bedrooms, bathrooms and the large format tiling of our main atrium and living spaces. Jeff and team’s work was excellent quality and they delivered exactly what we wanted, rather than doing what was easier - this was particularly true of our tiling where I had specified particularly large format tiles. The team were polite, respectful of our property and did their best to leave the site tidy each evening which was particularly important as we were living on-site. They were also very helpful to me personally, which I needed given I was 6 month pregnant at the start of works! Jeff’s communication was great - he was always available and set out clear timeframes to us, let us know if any issues had arisen and offered good advice on how to get around any problems so that the works could progress well. We will definitely be using him and team for the next phase of our works later this year.

this is the first large project I have undertaken (complete refurb (including new kitchen, bathrooms) of a 2 bed flat and converting a large cupboard to an en-suite bathroom) so was somewhat nervous and also sceptical of builders - you hear all the horror stories. Jeff immediately put me at ease. He prepared a clear and detailed estimate upfront and made me aware of potential issues which might arise. He kept me informed throughout the project of progress (orally and weekly written reports) and I experienced no horrible surprises. I cannot recommend Jeff and his team enough. I popped by the property on a fairly regular basis (sometimes unannounced) and I was very impressed with how tidy they managed to work. All the guys I met on site were friendly and polite. Jeff was very quick at responding to any questions I had - I felt in a very safe and trustworthy pair of hands throughout. Thank you!

We hired Jeff to renovate a large proportion of the Victorian house we moved into. It was in a terrible state and needed a huge amount doing to it. Jeff and his team were brilliant throughout the whole process. They were respectful, always on time and when changes needed to be made they did so without any issue at all. Renovating a house is quite a daunting prospect and it costs a significant amount of money and we are so glad that we hired Big Bean Construction Ltd to do the job. It was finished to a high standard and we are incredibly pleased with the work that has been done. Our house looks simply beautiful now!

Jeff and his team made quick work of a large office refurb. They were prompt and did a great job ensuring attention to detail was paramount. All waste was removed and we were ready to move in as planned. Would highly recommend.

What an amazing experience! Jeff completely understood my requirements, was honest enough to tell me that some of what I asked for was not feasible, and ended up offering me what he thought was best for me. Thanks to his very efficient, respectful and professional team, I have a very secured garden fence which my 3 dogs hopefully will not escape from! An extra thumbs up for literally working through the snow and completing the job 1 day early!

We got in touch with Jeff via Houzz and asked for him to come and quote on a bank holiday weekend, with work to start a month later - a tall order. From that point on Jeff has been very impressive and very communicative. The project has gone without a hitch, thanks to his meticulous planning and excellent team. Nothing has been too big or small for them to deal with - including us changing our minds from time to time... No overrunning on timetable and constant communication about any increases in price. As this is a block of flats, we were nervous about having builders in for such a big project, but Jeff and team worked excellently with the porters and our neighbours. We would highly recommend Jeff and team.

Excellent to deal with Jeff, he is knowledgeable and dealings are straightforward. Gives realistic deadlines that are always on time. Jeff is approachable and keeps me in touch with dates. Concepts and finish are fantastic.

Wary of building industry I decided to self-manage my renovation project and at one point needed to involve a professional. I contacted various companies and once I met with Jeff it became apparent I didn't have to look any further. He promptly answered my enquiry, knew exactly what needed doing to achieve what I wanted, was professional, respected the schedule and really took the stress out of the whole thing by arranging and coordinating different professionals. He was always true to his word and explained things. The work was completed to a professional standard and the flat was left neat and tidy. Jeff is such an adept, knowledgable and decent guy who selflessly provided me with a valuable advise on other aspects of my project he is not going to be involved with. This industry should have more people like Jeff.

We hired Jeff at Big Bean Construction based on Houzz reviews, so we had concerns. These concerns were allayed pretty quickly once Jeff and his builders started. Firstly, we received a quote and Jeff basically stuck to it even though we asked him to do more tiling around the windows (originally we had thought to just paint around the windows, then we changed our mind) which means the job took longer than expecting. In terms of craftmanship, Jeff and his men did a fantastic job replacing a bathroom and a cloakroom. I would highlight the great attention to detail (especially when it comes to tiling) and the fact that Jeff's main builder always cleaned after himself and left the "building site" in clean conditions every night. The finish is very good and everything works very well (shower, toilet etc). We will get Jeff in again to do more work in the future and would not hesitate to recommend him.

The main reason we chose Big Bean was because of their transparency in all aspects of the design process, schedule and cost. Jeff proved to be very honest and worked hard to find savings for us without compromising on what we wanted. His lovely team brought everything in on time and were very pleasant and respectful of our space, which was important considering we were living there during a disruptive build. Jeff is and his team are incredibly hard working, a pleasure to deal with, and sorted out any problems that came up immediately. We know that this is rare to find. We are incredibly happy with out new home and wouldn’t hesitate to use Big Bean again.

We recently installed some Secondary Glazed windows for Big Bean. From initial enquiry to finalisation of the project, Jeff (Big Bean) was very professional, courteous and easy to work with. He was very clear about what he wanted - making this project run smoothly. The project was high spec and we worked well together as our standard of work matched his. Slight delay with finalising the project from our end but we worked together to get all done and the result was satisfactory for all involved. Look forward to working with Big Bean in the future.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jeff and the Big Bean team for renovation work at my primary residence in London. As ever, there is a lot of mutual trust involved in contracting a builder for a home-project. From the outset, this trust was established with Jeff - he was extremely competent, insightful and totally up-front. He also made me feel very comfortable that he and the team would take any problems/snags in his stride. My trust proved to be well-founded, and I would like to thank Jeff and the team for all their hard work - the apartment looks great!

We have worked with Jeff on Two projects now look forward to many more in the future. Jeff and his team work in professional and efficient manor. Highly recommended.

Great Company to Deal with. We supplied out Faux Brick wall panels for a kitchen project and it was a straight forward easy project no hassle no fuss - recommended - Hannah Coleman www.dreamwall.co.uk

It couldn't have been easier dealing with Jeff throughout the whole process. It was quite a big job in a beautiful house in North London. Thanks for the opportunity and we hope to work with Big Bean Construction again in the future.

Being in the antique, architectural & interior trade I have supplied Big Bean Construction & there clients with a lot of my stock, I have always found them to be extremely professional with a fantastic eye for detail. I now recommend them to all my clients as I have seen how they have managed to marry in my stock with with great building work and I have always had great feedback. Please take a look at www.cubbitantiques.com for some fantastic interior pieces.

We have worked with Big Bean Construction on several projects, we have always found them to be very professional with a high standard of workmanship, this in turn makes our job easier, being aluminium glazing suppliers, the projects run smoothly and on time our mutual clients are always delighted. I would have no hesitation in recommending Big Bean to any of our clients who are looking for reliable builders.

I have worked with Jeff at Big Bean on a number of projects. Jeff has always been extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. I wish him every success for the future and look forward to working with him and his team on future projects.

We collaborated with Big Bean Construction Ltd to create bespoke kitchen and wardrobes for their client's modern period town house. The end result was a stunning example of classic-contemporary design. Big Bean Construction were great to work with and offer a very professional service. We would be delighted to work with them on any future projects!

I have worked now with Big Bean Construction Ltd on 2 projects helping with the design and supply of the Lighting. Big Bean Construction were very professional and easy to work with, both projects required a very high standard of finish and I think the attention to detail at the early stages has really shone through in the end result.

Jeff did a great job bringing our house up to star quality. We had a new roof with insulation and we had brick cleaning over the whole house and re pointing and our house then became the smartest in the street. The neighbours have all done the same now so it no longer stands out quite so much as it did but it is still an excellent result. We also had the front drive re done with new brick walls and new gravel and at the back of the house we had paving and a new terrace. Overall we were very pleased with the results and the cost was reasonable. Jeff was easy to work with and could be relied upon to get things done in the timescale and for the price agreed. I wish him every success with his new ventures and projects. 60

Jeff at BigBean did a great job from start to finish from giving an accurate quote to dealing with structural surveyors, building control, architect and neighbours!. More importantly we didnt have any delay (which is very rare in London and with most builders). Jeff was always available to meet on site and discuss/deal with issues. Great job overall. I highly recommend Jeff/BigBean

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that the builder we get to do up our precious home is a cowboy and doesn't care as much as we do. Jeff is not that guy. He is transparent, open and honest (I couldn't believe it either) and will listen patiently and respond kindly as you worry about the transformation your home is undergoing.

Jeff and the team did a renovation project for us in 2015, and they were fantastic. Professional, knowledgeable, always easy to deal with they were flexible when it mattered but have good direction and advice consistently. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Big Bean construction helped design a new kitchen and living space for my family home, and oversaw the complete refurbishment. From the design stage to completion they were not only innovative, but incredibly attentive, and prompt. I was particularly impressed with the aftercare, which wasn't contractural. Reccomended.

Jeff helped bring a house extension with new kitchen and bathroom to completion, opening up the ground floor of the classic London/ Fulham terrace house to give valuable social space for a family. The client had stalled anxious about the building process and contractors but Jeff was able to give the client confidence in the works to be undertaken, the programme and budget. With a good working relationship established the scope increased from the initial kitchen extension to the inclusion of a new bathroom designed by Jeff and his team.

Jeff's team carried out a full refurbishment of my ground/first floor flat including structural re-configuration to a very high standard. The project was relatively complex and included working with an architect on a full planning proposal which had to be submitted to Westminster. The project stayed on budget and schedule too! Jeff is easy and straight forward to work with and when problems arose, was able to think of solutions quickly. Highly recommended!

We have worked with Big Bean on many projects and we find them to be very professional, hard working and good value for money. Their work is finished to a high standard and they make sure that the small details are adjusted to perfection, making us and the client very happy! I would not hesitate to recommend them.
