Jeff Smallman and his son are block paving specalists but are also excelent in re-roofing and roofing repairs and building extensions etc. Prices are very reasonable plus it it very difficult to find an honest roofer. Jeff has been in the business for 25 years. He takes great pride in his work which is guarannteed.

Jeff and his son replaced my kitchen ceiling. He warned me that it would be a very messy job, and he made every effort to minimise the mess, and cleaned up very thoroughly afterwards. The work was completed a day ahead of schedule in spite of a few unforeseen problems. I find Jeff a very conscientious and honest builder, and would definitely use him again.

What initially appeared to be a leak on our conservatory roof turned into a much bigger job to seal the leak and re-decorate. An excellent job by Jeff and the boys ensuring the leak was traced, sealed and problem solved. I have booked them for further work on the house.

We have used Jeff three times this year, most recently to lay a small patio at the bottom of the garden. After discussing the work required and offering helpful suggestions, Jeff provides a detailed estimate setting out all the work required. Jeff then carried out the work quickly and efficiently with his son Darren. We wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

We required extensive work on our home as it is 100 years old, as the work proceeded the work required extended considerably. Mr Smallman and his team were excellent. They were receptive and understanding to the needs of our 80+ yr old man. Work was of highest standard.

Outstanding work carried out by Darren and his team. Front of house repointed, new slate step fitted to front door and additional repair work carried out on the roof. Great communication throughout, always turning up on time. Throughout the work Darren was courteous and considerate to our neighbours as this is an extremely messy job when removing the old cement, yet at the end of every day all was left clean and tidy.

JS Builders came to estimate re-build of gate pillar and ended up doing, retaining wall, rear access steps, next doors pillar coping - even turned out to help my wife in an emergency situation in the most appalling weather. Excellent standard of work. Both Jeff and Darren were polite and professional in their day to day work. Will be having them back to rebuild rear boundary wall soon!

We employed J S Builders to prepare ground and lay drainage, patio base, patio, steps and platform. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this company as the standard of workmanship was excellent and the quality of work was second to none, it was always about the quality of work with them, from being meticulous and clean, even when we had a change of plan and added a few extra jobs there was no problem, let me reiterate that I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who needs any type of building work carried out, thanks very much JS Builders for a job very well done.

I used JS builders to undertake work to the front of the house as patio was collapsing including the wall.In addition i required works to extend the front door step for my mother who is disabled. Jeff came down last year and quoted for the patio works of which was accepted by us. No pressure or anything from them They clearly explained the works and the costs. Anyway we waited for them to carry out, of which last week they came along and carried out the works plus the additional works to the front door step. All I can say is that the job was carried out very efficiently, they discussed any issue with me before engaging any work of which I had no issue.By heck they worked exceptionally hard, cleaned up every single night before going, and again gave the necessary safety advice as my path was being dug up for the new patio. The result of their hard work and meticulous eye for perfection and detailing is excellent and the standard is Fantastic. Overall I can say without show of a doubt that I can highly recommend this building firm, family lead and friendly, this shows in the quality of work. In fact I have asked for them to come back later on in the year to carry more works to the property.

We contacted JS Builders through a recommendation from a colleague. We had had half a dozen quotes about the work we needed doing but Jeff and the boys seemed the most reliable, knowledgeable and friendly specialists who turned up. From day one they were open and helpful and guided us through the process expertly. They finished the roof and all the extra bits and we were delighted with their work and decided to commission the garden as well. JS Builders were fantastic throughout and we recommend them wholeheartedly and will definitely use them again in the future for all our renovation needs. All of them were brilliant and dedicated, honest and reliable and hardworking. We are extremely happy with everything they did for us. They clearly take pride in their work and we felt confident with everything they advised and did. Darren went above and beyond for us and ensured that the job was done properly, regardless of the demands and he proved time and again that we made the right choice by going with JS Builders. Another highlight was the fact that there was absolutely no hassle for us, despite falling sick and being stuck home for over a week. The guys ensured the work continued and there was 0 issues for us. We wish JS Builders all the best and a massive thank you again. You are the best.

Jeff capped our wooden but sound fascia boards with PVC capping boards and replaced a soffit. Although he is not a specialist roofer he did a good job. Whilst the scaffolding was up he offered (for a few extra quid) to re-point the ridge tiles (which needed doing), replace a broken tile and do some repairs on the "roof valleys". He was friendly, accomodating (the scaffolding he arranged was left up on my request for a few weeks so I could paint the pine end wall), helpful and turned up when he said he would. I would employ him again!
