If I could give these guys more than 10 I would; I can't recommend them enough. The attention to detail in the brickwork is amazing and we now have a beautiful kitchen diner. They are reliable, great at explaining things, lovely to be around and really hard working. They made the whole process less stressful by dealing with everything from start to finish for us.

Detailed reviews
After being let down by a number of companies I got in touch with JP Builders. They came out to quote the next day, walked me through the costs, their plan and how long it would take. Even though our job was a difficult one (due to access and poor workmanship on our house previously), the quote they gave was very accurate and so was the timing. A few issues came up during the job that cost us a bit more, but we were warned that this would probably be the case before they started the job and they kept us in the loop at all times. Will be using them again for sure! Great lads. Thanks a lot!
This is the third time Jon and Joe have done work for me. Brilliant as always. They are reliable, punctual, hard working and tidy. The standard of work was good and the finish is great. They are friendly and considerate. They took out a small fireplace and plastered the little alcove to make a display area. They put shelf brackets back up for me and also added a couple of electric sockets and changed the light fitting. They replaced the architrave, skirting boards and picture rail.

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
