James W Alexander

Everything was done to perfection and more came on time everyday finished when they said they would job done so well.

Job was postponed due to Covid, but well worth waiting for. Fitted an electric water heater. Did an excellent job, neat tidy pipe work.
Very happy.

Jim and his team fitted our kitchen for us and we couldn't have been happier with the service we received. The quality of the work was excellent and any minor snags were dealt with within a week. We'll definitely be using them again for any future projects.

Firstly, the kitchen lighting was replaced using LED fittings.
Then the old floor mounted boiler was replaced with a wall mounted condensing boiler in a different position. Both works were completed in a very professional manner; started and completed as programmed and a neat and tidy installation. One minor snag after completion was resolved within an hour. Highly recommended.

We had floorboards replaced upstairs and downstairs, the joiners were very efficient and tidy. The work was completed quickly and they tidied up before leaving.
We also had pipework done in the bathroom and the plumbers were as good as the joiners - quick and clean, you wouldn't have known they had been.

Thanks Alexanders!

Installation of new boiler.
From the initial meeting to discuss requirements to the actual installation work everything was conducted very professionally. The product offering was exactly what I wanted and all aspects of the installation work was carried out carefully and exceptionally well. The installation engineer was very knowledgeable and explained the boiler functions to us in clear unambiguous terms.

We had a boiler replaced. They turned up on time and the two plumbers were professional, hardworking, polite and tidied up after themselves. I thoroughly recommend James W Alexander and would definitely use them again.

James Alexander fitted a kitchen for me which involved : ripping out an old kitchen, installation of all appliances, units and even a tiled flooring. The work was carried out efficiently, completed earlier than I expected.
All the tradesmen involved were very respectful of the environment they were working in, leaving the property immaculate.Their professionalism instilled confidence in me that the job would be completed to a high standard.
James oversaw all the work, constantly on call to answer any queries. Nothing was too much trouble for him, even collecting heavy tiles for my new floor.
Working with a very hardworking, personable and pleasant group of people ensured the process of installing a new kitchen was stress free.

I highly recommend James W Alexander. The work they carried out from start to finish was trouble free and to a very high standard. Everyone was very polite as well which made this a pleasant experience.

Jim and his team installed a Magnet kitchen. As well as carrying out works required which included joinery, plumbing, gas and electrical work, a new floor had to unexpectedly be fitted (due to displaced pipes). Jim contacted me to explain the reason for the additional works and and the work was carried out without affecting the end date.

The team were everything you could ask for; professional, friendly , reliable, prompt and tidy!

I will definitely go to back for any future works needed.

The staff are excellent, from Anne at reception to all the various men sorting out my plumbing problems over the years. Arriving on time, very polite, friendly and tidy. Problems always sorted out with a smile. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Jim's team installed our new kitchen so some of the spend figure is included in that, and some was for additional work (flooring, electrics etc.) My wife and I are delighted at the quality of the work carried out - good old-fashioned craftsmanship which you don't come across much nowadays. The joins on the new Minerva worktop were invisible after they'd finished! They also threw resources at it when the initial strip out and install took place, so disruption minimised. The photo doesn't do justice to the installation as we still have to complete the re-decoration, but I'd happily go back to James Alexander for our next home improvement.

This is a very reliable company. The members of staff are helpful and considerate.

Install a Magnet Kitchen bought from Magnet Musselburgh plus additional joinery, plumbing, tiling, gas and electric work required as a result of the new kitchen.

All work was carried out to a high standard by helpful and friendly tradesmen.

The company have carried out various jobs over the last few years incl. shower installation, cleaning rhones and replacing where required. Very satisfied with workmanship and will use company again.

I had a replacement kitchen, bathroom and boiler. Very happy with the professional way all the work was carried out. All the tradesmen were courteous, punctual and tidy. Very happy with the end result. Would definitely recommend James W Alexander.

Jim’s company was subcontracted by Magnet to fit our kitchen. We needed much more work to be carried out before, during and after the fitting. Jim and his team rose to the challenge and carried out all the works whilst he continually reassured us that everything would be fine. How right he was. All his workforce performed their numerous and varied tasks with professionalism and were a joy to have in our home. No matter what we asked of the Jim and his team, they would do it. We now have a kitchen that we are delighted with and it draws many admiring comments. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jim and his team, when he says it’ll be fine, it was!

My job involved replacing the kitchen tap and one of the bathroom taps. I phoned James W Alexander and was able to fix up an appointment for the following day. Ian came out and replaced both taps quickly and efficiently. He was friendly and polite and cleared away all rubbish caused by the installation work. I found that all staff that I had contact with were professional and helpful, and would certainly recommend the company.

Replacement of conventional gas boiler with new condensing boiler

First class service from start to finish. When our 22 year old boiler finally packed in, we had a visit the next day which confirmed that this was beyond repair and then the following day to survey and discuss options. We decided to go with the Worcester Bosch Greenstar condensing boiler (which is more efficient than conventional) and would come with 10 year guarantee. The workmen were very professional, clean, tidy, courteous at all times. Particularly pleasing was having this work completed before we headed off for a short holiday we had planned. Also how they managed to conceal the new condensate pipe. More than happy to recommend.

Absolutely went above and beyond to help me out in an emergency, I cannot recommend highly enough. I manage 20 flats and I will be using this company again without a doubt.
