J & C Barker (Builders) Limited

The job was to replace a lintel, and repair and repoint some brickwork. Jim did an excellent and professional job; and came on the dates and times as advised. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again and can thoroughly recommend him.

Jim undertook work to brick up an external door from an integral garage, create a replacement internal door into the house and to tile the garage floor. He was precise on exactly what work would be undertaken for his quoted price. His work was of a high standard. He took time throughout the project to keep us informed of progress, to completion. We were very comfortable having Jim work in our home and would be happy to use him again in the future.

After reading previous reviews I asked Jim for a quote to move an L shaped section of garden wall and to key it back in with an existing section of the wall. He came out very quickly to see the job and also responded very quickly with a reasonable quote. Within two weeks he returned to undertake the work which he completed to an excellent standard in two and a half days. He worked hard and managed to recover the bricks and reuse them without the need to use new ones. I have asked Jim quote for further work and my neighbour is also going to contact him. I will certainly use him again, thank you for a good job.

Jim replaced the lintels above four windows and did some repointing in such cold and atrocious weather. He was prompt every day and worked really hard without a single complaint. His work is first class and I’m so happy with the finished job. I would totally recommend him. Such a lovely guy too.

I contacted Jim following a leak after the recent bad weather. Jim was able to quickly come round, take a look at the problem, and provide a quote. A few days later he was back doing the job. He was very quick and tidy. He turned up when he said he was going to. His work looks excellent. Jim was polite, respectful, and pleasant to chat to. I paid the price quoted. I would definitely recommend Jim's services.

Communication was excellent from day one. He kept us up to date via e-mail. After initial contact and a visit assessment, Jim was able to give us a written quotation for the work needed, which was supported by photographs. He was punctual on each day and carried out all repairs to a standard well above our expectations. A very friendly builder and we would definitely use him again. Glad we went with a Which? Trusted Trader.

Jim did a great job. worked well turned up when he said he would cleaned up after himself kept us informed at each stage of the job and listened to what we required. Would 100% recommend him to anyone and would definitely use him for any other building work I need

Jim is a great guy. Very pleasant and works away without any problems. He was Covid aware and gave a very good quote for work on guttering. The first day it was pouring with rain and Jim was out there starting the work. Paid exactly what was quoted and have no hesitation in recommending Jim to other customers. It is a relief that our work has finally been done after trying to get other people out to fix the gutters. Will definitely use Jim again.

Could not recommend Jim enough, he was punctual every day and completed the job ( an internal wall removing and plastering) to a very high standard, which we are so pleased with. Did it all with a bit of humour also! We felt very comfortable having him in the house as he was respectful too. Will be the first person I contact when I want more work doing in the future.

We waited a while for the job to be done but we had told him there was no particular rush. He replaced the front gutter and downspout and cleaned the facia boards. This was completed to our satisfaction, the only complaint being that he did not clean the windows of the stains which his work had caused.
