Highlights
"Rodney is probably the most knowledgeable and capable builder that I have ever dealt with. He and his team are very conscientious. I have used them a number of times over the years and no matter what problem arises, he and his team overcome it. They are cheerful, tidy, polite and on site early. I would absolutely recommend R. Johnston and Sons to anyone considering any type of building work, Paving,Driveways, Landscaping and Fencing etc."
"I cannot fault any aspect of the job. The refurbishment went to plan. The costings were accurate. The building work was to a very high standard. Rod and his sons were problem solvers, improving on the plans and getting round the inevitable difficulties that come up in a build. They are also incredibly nice people and a pleasure to have in the house."
"Rodney and his team have been doing building work for me since 2003: hard landscaping, a new studio/garage, atrium conservatory, re-roofing existing pool room and conservatory, car port. He does an excellent job, is completely trustworthy and really concerned to ensure his customers are fully satisfied. He doesn’t cut corners but does a very good job. Highly recommended."

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check — a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 13 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.
