Staircase refurbishment and flooring

The work undertaken by JBC (Roland and Russell) was outstanding. We wanted our old-fashioned 80s staircase refurbished in our flat. This involves removing of an internal wall/cupboard and fitting oak treads and glass side walls to modernise and bring in more light. They also fitted oak-engineered flooring in an upstairs room and hall. From the outset, at the quote stage, we had confidence in their expertise and suggestions. When they came to do the work, their attention to every small detail was outstanding. For example, instead of just putting a facing around a step, they removed the step and engineered a seamless finish in the workshop. We were away on holiday when they completed the work. When we came home our house was left spotless with all dust removed from even less obvious surfaces. To say we were delighted with the end result is an understatement. We had other quotes for this work and JBC not only provided good value for money but the extent and quality of what they did was far greater. Roland and Russell have a real attention to detail and care about the quality of the work they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them.

From the quoting stage to the finished product, Roland and Russell were very professional in all aspects of the operation. They took the time to listen to what we were looking for and gave us the staircase we were hoping for and completely transformed our home. They were prompt and professional and cleaned up after themselves daily. Roland really cares about the workmanship and quality of the job. We have never had someone go over the details so well and be passionate about the finished project. It was a pleasure having them working in our home with minimal disruption. It is a reliable, professional and a truthful company. Highly recommend!

Oak Staircase Installation

Although we were in a new build property we have a very creaky staircase which the builder was unable to rectify. We decided to contact companies to enquire about options to rectify the creaks. Roland from JBC quickly responded to our query and came out to take a look and talk over options. Roland was friendly, knowledgeable and explained the options available from a repair through to complete staircase replacement. As we wanted to install a glass balustrade as well as have a solid staircase we decided to go for a completely new oak staircase with glass balustrade. For the installation Roland and Russell did a fantastic job. They removed the existing staircase with no damage and then expertly installed the new staircase. The job took 4 days and we were kept updated on the progress. Roland and Russell worked away diligently cleaning up each night and making sure the staircase was safe. We had no idea on the intricacy of installing a staircase and the value of true craftsmanship in making sure it was installed correctly! We now have solid, fantastic looking staircase with no squeaks! They even made a matching doggy gate to stop our dog from going up the stairs! We are delighted with the installation that JBC completed and are happy to recommend!

I’m absolutely delighted with my new balustrade, it’s even better than I imagined it would be. Quality and craftsmanship is excellent. Family business, easy to deal with. Roland and Russell were extremely nice and very tidy workers. Didn’t have to redecorate. Can’t recommend highly enough.

When we were looking for a company to install a new balustrade & banister and to hang 5 internal doors, we were taken by the photographs and testimonials that JBC have on their website. They almost appeared to be too good to be true. However, having met Roland when he came to discuss the project and to show us samples of the oak finish and the finish to the glass clamps, I was taken by his demeanour, and I could immediately understand why previous customers had offered such glowing testimonials. When he was joined on site by his brother Russell, for the installation, I was indeed confident that JBC was the correct choice. The level of craftmanship is first class. Not to mention the detailing of the remedial work where the old material was removed. The Birkett Brothers could teach other tradesmen a thing or two about leaving the premises neat and tidy! On completion they left the premises spotless. Such was the level of work that my wife and I have now asked Roland to quote for a new front door.

Replace safety glass and install stainless steel clamps to mount glass on balcony. Fit new balustrade of glass and stainless steel newel posts, handrails and D shaped clamps on staircase . From beginning to end fantastic job. Ronald and Russel so professional, innovative, friendly, knowledgeable and so so tidy. Explained everything they were doing and the standard of work was fantastic both on balcony and staircase. From initial survey to completion everything was faultless and also a very fair price. I feel Christmas has come early and can?t stop admiring their work. I have already recommended JBC to my friends. A first class job by first class guys.

I asked JBC to fit a handrail to my elderly mother's staircase. They asked me to send some photographs and provided a quote, which was inline with other estimates. I paid a deposit and they ordered the parts and pre-painted the handrail. On the day of fitting they took great care to measure before placing the handrail and vacuumed up every particle of dust created (they brought their own vacuum). The handrail looks fantastic and my mother is delighted that she can now traverse the stairs with ease.
