Highlights
"Convert garage into a living space My need - to improve upon the far-end of my garden that situated my old double garage, constructed of asbestos material. Demolish & rebuild, retaining the look of structure from vehicle access end, but convert the interior into a two-roomed apartment. I filtered a host of tradesmen who declared their interests to quote for the job. I studied previous REVIEWS which had been left behind by former clients of these builders. At the end, shortlisted only 4, each of whom I believed demonstrated the ability to deliver a good job. I wrote them. They, each visited and were all excellent, but finally I settled for Joe Coney for his best quote. Joe lived up to all the good things said about him by previous clients and I MUST ADD MY OWN VOICE. He is very intelligent & hardworking. In my job, he went far and beyond by my assessment to deliver a standard I expected – it is not easy to impress me though. However, Joe’s standards of delivery & quality of work were simply EXCELLENT. He was quite supportive even when I requested for his help in another ‘non inclusive’ aspect of the job – he executed this ‘labour free’. He completed the job in quick time irrespective of unpredictable one-week of bad weather conditions. He remained humble & tidy. To register my undiluted appreciation I gave a treat of his best choice of wine. Once again THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH JOE for a brilliant job. I unreservedly RECOMMEND JOE for anyone hard-pressed in making the best judgement for a builder in this area"
"Convert garage to bedroom with ensuite Joe is very friendly and very enthusiastic about what he does. He is honest and full of solutions. I will recommend him."
"Porch with tiled roof Very happy with work carried out, polite punctual, very helpful, no job to small, will use again,"

Convert garage to bedroom with ensuite Joe is very friendly and very enthusiastic about what he does. He is honest and full of solutions. I will recommend him.
Porch with tiled roof Very happy with work carried out, polite punctual, very helpful, no job to small, will use again,
Garage Conversion Having chosen Joe from Fouth Generation was the best thing that I have done. Joe and his team were very brilliant. They were very respectful towards me and nothing was to much for Joe to do for me. At the end of their day shift they always leave the site clean and tidy. I am very happy with the job that Joe has done and will not hesitate to recommend him in the near future. Thank you again Joe and good luck. Ann-Marie
Refurbing porch way I would highly recommend Joe and his team. They were polite, efficient and was very informative of what would need to be done to get the result we wanted and had done exactly what we wanted. Joe and his team were very punctual from start to finish. The work they carried out was done in a clean and tidy manner as they had ensured whilst they were knocking down walls and removing parts, the mess was being cleaned along the way and it was excellent team work between them. There was no hassle and the work was done fairly quick. Whilst work was being carried out, we had asked Joe if he could do a couple little extra work which wasn’t discussed at the start but Joe and his team happily carried the work out. So if anyone is looking for a team who are polite, punctual, efficient, with reasonable pricing, I would definitely recommend Joe and his team. Thank you so much guys! Glad we met the team as we now have people to go to for any future work.
Very reliable, highly recommended to anyone.
Trustworthy and competent. Can't fault him. More than happy with the work Joe does.
Very professional. Price is reasonable and does a very good job.
