The work involved having to knock down walls, move windows, add in new soakaways and involved the kitchen/diner, family bathroom, hallway & utility room having a complete refurb. Leon and Rio were professional throughout, keeping us up to date with plans, consulting on any issues as they arose & providing recommendations based on their vast experiences. They were also very thoughtful to the fact we have a young family & accommodating that with their schedules. Would recommend & use again!" > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Rio and team were great from quoting to delivery. They moved internal walls and replaced flooring in the upstairs bedrooms, including electrics and plastering. They communicated clearly about availability, timing, and any challenges they encountered. Quality was excellent. Highly recommend!" > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Leon, Rio and all the team were fantastic during and after the build of our extension. The work was carried out quickly and efficiently and to a great standard. The space created is beautiful and they have been so helpful with other extra bits too.

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. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. ## Contact - Phone: 07727 634901 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/jls-carpentry-build-ltd Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
