JBC

Would like to thank Roland, and Russell for a great job on my new bannister, service was great from start to finish, very very happy with the final product, would also like to thank them for fixing my front door which was jamming appreciated, also want to thank Nicola for all the correspondences through emails very quick responses back & forward, would recommend this company. One happy customer.

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!

Absolutely delighted with the work carried out by Roland and Russell to install a new balustrade and repair the stair treads. I would have no hesitation in recommending this family run business

Fantastic job carried out by men at the top of their trade great comunication all the way through, really nice people I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who requires this type of work.

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.

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.

I contacted JBC by telephone, explained what I wanted. They asked me to send photographs of where I wanted my handrails. I received a quotation fairly quickly. The communication throughout the process was 1st class. The job was completed to my 100% satisfaction. This company are a joy to work with and their workmanship is outstanding.

JBC replaced all the balustrades on the stairs of our four storey townhouse. Neatest and tidiest tradespeople we have ever employed! High attention to detail has delivered a result we are delighted with

JBC installed a new oak bannister for us. This was quite a complicated job and involved critical angles for jointing to follow the line of the staircase. The end product could not be better, skilled workmanship of a high standard. We are very pleased indeed and highly recommend this company. We have now asked them to quote for further work and look forward to having them back to complete that.

This is the third time we/I have employed JBC. They constructed new double glazed windows for our ground floor, they made a beautiful solid front door, and this time they rebuilt a balcony and balustrade. Russell's and Roland's work is immaculate - attention to detail is standard for them. They remain the best craftsmen we have ever employed. I am thinking of adopting them.

If you’re considering this type of job - look no further. Excellent customer service, excellent job and excellent attention to detail. You won’t regret it. Promise.

Excellent job conducted by JBC in renovations of both our staircases converting from old fashioned spindles to beautiful oak and glass with feature lighting giving a more modern and casual temporary look. Roland and Russell were extremely hardworking really took note of our customer requirements and completed a first class and very professional job. Would highly recommend.

The work carried out by JBC was outstanding. They came promptly, were efficient, pleasant and dedicated craftsmen. They were extremely helpful and we are delighted with every aspect of their work.

Competent and very tidy workers. Excellently completed on time. No problems at all. Can be highly recommended.

Very professional job from start to finish. Communication , advise on details was excellent, friendly & cleanliness as they went about there work was brilliant. Would recommend this company 100%.

Both Roland and Russell were very courteous and polite. JBC manufactured and installed a wooden door and surrounding panels with double glazed glass. They were very attentive and took pride in what they did. Extremely pleased with the outcome.

From first contact with JBC to completion of the work, I felt valued as a customer and it was a pleasure to deal with all individuals from the Company whom I encountered. Questions and clarification points before the contract was signed through to completion were all answered quickly and fully. The stair was completed ahead of the initial estimated date and was done to a very high standard. I'm delighted with the outcome.

Excellent job, very pleased with the final look. Roland and Russell are experts at what they do and pay a lot of attention to detail making the finish first class. Will certainly recommend and use again.

Impressed by their positive attitude, hard work and tidiness! Roland & Russell put in a full shift each day even when the weather wasn't too good. They respected us and our property and this was greatly appreciated.

JBC did an absolutely outstanding job, transforming the bannisters on our stairs from old white painted wood to beautifully crafted oak and glass. From the design stage through to the installation and completion, the team exhibited excellent commitment, professionalism, technical skill and customer service. The quality of the work was exceptional. We couldn’t be happier and we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending JBC to anyone. Thank you to all, but especially Roland, Russell and Nicola.

JBC were a company in our area and we wanted to keep it local. The stairway survey was done with great detail and attention and allowed us to influence the design process. Nicola was great in keeping in touch and Roland and Russell were meticulous in the work and their expertise shone through in every area. Everything was done according to the quote. The area was protected well and afterward the area was left spotless. The “guys” were excellent in all their work and we could not be more delighted with the result. Eric and Caroline

Just had our wooden balustrade replace with glass and stainless steel. The work was carried out by JBC and I cannot fault the work. The whole process for start to finish was amazing. Roland and Russell arrived and the way they went about the work was truly amazing with great attention to detail. Would have no hesitation in recommending them. Amazing work.

An excellent job - very happy. I always get nervous engaging with the trades but felt very comfortable and confident I had chose the right company in JBC from the start. The work was initiated and completed to a very high standard with great communication in how the work was going to be done and solutions offered when required. They went that extra mile. There was no snagging required which demonstrated their high standard of work and finish. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending JBC

From the initial contact, survey and price to the conclusion of an amazing job. Nicola, Roland and Russell were so professional, innovative, welcoming, knowledgeable and so tidy. They constantly explained everything they were doing and the standard of work can only be described as exceptional both on our new front door and the balcony/ staircase. We’ve already recommended JBC to neighbours, relatives and our close friends. A very professional job by a very highly rated family business.

What a great company!!! So professional and very helpful. They discuss all aspects of work involved and give great advice!! Nothing is too much trouble and are very responsive on email or phone to answer any questions you may have. The installation was brilliant. The guys powered through the work and what a fabulous job!!! Everything was left so clean and tidy after the work was complete. Would not hesitate to use this company again and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have this type of work done. A great local company where quality and high end workmanship is clearly part of their ethos.

Roland and Russell did a great job on our new staircase. They have a real passion for their craft and a keen eye for detail. Would recommend JBC for any similar job and will use them in the future.

This was the second time we had a door made and fitted by JBC. The reason for that is simple - the craftmanship and attention to detail to produce the doors in keeping with the era of the house but with all mod cons were truly superb. This is a family firm which takes a pride in all aspects of its service and always goes the extra mile in a cheerful and friendly way. I know I can always rely on them to do a great job.

From start to finish they were very professional. By this I mean they explained what they were going to do structurally and cosmetically.My house was left looking just the way it was after they were finished.I cannot praise them highly enough Roland and Russell are very knowledgable in the work they do and I would highly recommend them and their company to anyone looking to get this kind of work done.Once again I cannot thank yous enough.

Contracted JBC to install 2 x 5" glass balustrade panels to my patio replacing panel fence. Roland & Russell completed what is a superb robust job with nice surround finishes (even painting newly exposed fencing). Explained the engineering aspects along the way. A knowledgeable family business and would highly recommend.

My son recently moved house and we were impressed with the glass and oak balustrade they had, much nicer than our 30+ year old original “ranch fence, three plank” banister. While searching for suppliers, both in Sunday supplements and locally, we came across JBC at Broxburn and asked for a quote. A neighbour a couple of doors down was surveyed the same day. We were unable to accept the quote at that time but after seeing the quality of the work carried out at our neighbours we asked Nicola at JBC a few months later if it would be possible to have the work done at the originally quoted price. Luckily the answer was yes though, because of our delay and the guys schedule, we would have to wait a bit longer than usual for the work to commence. Roland appeared and carried out the full survey and noted my concerns regarding some phone and network cables which would have to be incorporated. He and Russell duly turned up on the allotted day and laid down protective covering on the stairs, spending the rest of the day cutting and preparing various sections prior to the final assembly. A temporary banister was fitted overnight with the balustrade completed the following day. The craftsmanship and quality is fantastic with the stairwell now opened up, my cables invisible. Many thanks to the guys for a fantastic job carried out in an extremely professional way. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for similar work to be carried out.

Used JBC to make bunk beds and cupboards. Roland and Russell were very professional from the start, completing the work on time. Offering good design options, tidy workers, courteous. The work was completed to a high standard and they took pride in the quality of their workmanship. I would recommend them and would use them myself again.

We booked JBC for a bathroom refurbishment. From the written quote (Jim) to the completed work (Roland and Russell) we experienced nothing but professionalism from JBC. Despite working in very cramped conditions and in extreme heat (31 degrees) Roland and Russell managed to produce an amazing modern, sleek and beautifully tiled bathroom...nothing was overlooked and the quality of their workmanship was nothing short of perfection. Communication was excellent as was reliability, honesty and a desire to do a good job for the customer. I am so very glad we used JBC and we will be doing so again, and would definitely recommend the company. Thank you also to Nicola whose professionalism meant that any paperwork, questions etc were managed with speed and efficiency. A wonderful company.

Our bath was removed and replaced with a glass sided shower cabinet and the wc and basin were replaced. The floor tiles were removed and replaced and the walls were tiled. Substantial replumbing was needed. The work was carried out in the agreed timescale and at the agreed price. The standard of workmanship was virtually flawless and we were minimally inconvenienced while the work was in progress. Communication with all members of the firm was straightforward, helpful and good humoured. It is now 6 weeks since the work was completed and no problems have arisen. I will certainly go back to JBC if I need further similar work carried out in the future. I don't know whether I could have had the work done as well for less, although I'm sure I could have had it done less well!

JBC carried out these works to my second floor tenement flat to a high standard of workmanship. Definitely worth the money as a long term investment in the flat.

Roland and Russell from JBC installed an oak and glass balustrade in our hall. From first approach to completed job they were thoroughly professional, with excellent workmanship. We are very pleased and would not hesitate to recommend JBC.

Excellent workmanship. Seamless process from planning of project all the way to completion. Highly recommend.

JBC supplied and fitted 10 replacement internal oak doors, 4 of which had to be custom made. The doors were delivered and fitted on time. The fitters worked to ensure a perfect fit to all doors dealing with the difficulties of an old building. The end result is a very high quality job undertaken with excellent customer service. I would highly recommend JBC

This is a small family business who provide a friendly and most efficient service. Their custom made hinged secondary windows proved to be an ideal solution to the problem of installing secondary glazing in a period property with a minimum of disruption (and no need for planning permission). Roland and Russell were delightful people to have around ; they completed the work in record time, my floors and furniture were protected with polythene and dust sheets and they left absolutely no mess. They also paid attention to extra details such as ordering and installing new blinds and brass window handles. I would unhesitatingly recommend this company.

I contacted JBC through finding them on google and found their slim line double glazing would be ideal in our Georgian flat that looks onto the main road on the busy North Charlotte street in Edinburgh. It was also important that we could close the original wooden shutters which was accommodated. Throughout my communication with Jbc I was dealt with by a family member which gave me confidence that customer service was a priority, as at all times quotes, appointments and the installation was done when agreed and on budget. Rolland took a great deal of time measuring up the glass space as in all old buildings the measurements are never identical in 2 windows. The family have an attitude of get it right first time which is very refreshing having had plumbers joiners bathroom installers and electricians working over the last 4 years who Generally over promised and under delivered. It was also helpful to view a similar installation locally, prior to placing the order,to see how effective the window worked out. I am very happy with the outcome and would recommend Jbc as a trusted family business.

From first contact to installation of new glass sealed units and fixing wind damaged hinges on French Doors everything was done professionally and as listed on the quote.

Everyone I dealt with at JBC were friendly, professional and delivered what they promised. Nothing was too much trouble and the attention to detail was second to none. I would highly recommend them to anyone. All in all it was a pleasure to deal with a company who take such a pride in their craft. Well done guys (and girls!).

Had JBC repair and overhaul a set of bi-fold doors. They were thorough, pleasant to deal with and totally professional. The work was done to a high standard and with the minimum of fuss. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I would highly recommend JBC. Their customer care and workmanship was exemplary from my initial phone call right through to completion of the work - replacing my front door

A very good and tidy job replacing the garage window; Russell and Roland took the trouble to dustsheet my motorbike, and it was a pleasure to have them working here.

We highly recommend JBC. They were reliable, did a first class job fitting a new glass balustrade as the old one was just dark and did not complement the hall, Guys from start to finish amazingly perfect and the job was spotless after work was all done.

JBC has to be one of the best companies I have ever used. They made beautiful windows for me. Roland and Russell have the most amazing work ethic, they didn't even stop for lunch! I would highly recommend them.

Roland and Russell covered all access areas, removed the old window, installed the new window and finishings and did a very neat job indeed. It was very competitively priced, the guys were very friendly and polite, and they cleared up after themselves. Far better dealing with a local business which is highly thought of than a national company with subcontracted work and non existent after sales service. I highly recommend the business - they inspire confidence from first contact to completion.

JBC are fantastic! I can't recommend them highly enough. My staircase was dark with lots of very dark wood panelling and now it's bright with the white and glass staircase. They removed my pine clad ceiling and replaced with new plaster and coving. They also laid a new wooden floor and skirtings. Their attention to detail is a credit to them. They are a professional family business and take great pride in their work. Thank you so much JBC you were amazing! Will definitely call upon your services again for my next project and will not hesitate to recommend you

We are renovating a flat in Edinburgh that required a new set of sash and case windows. JBC was recommend by my mum who had a bathroom and staircase installed by them. The windows look fantastic, they fit in with the style of the building and are great quality. Russell and Roland take great care in their work and seem genuinely enthusiastic about what they do, their attention to detail is something you don't get with all tradesmen. I would definitely recommend them.

We have a rented flat in the New Town area of Edinburgh and needed a new handrail installed quickly to meet the requirements of a tenant who was just moving in. JBC contacted the agent, gained entry and measured up/costed the work. We were happy with the quote and they agreed to bring the job forward. All work was completed 100% on time and to agreed cost. JBC workmanship and attention to detail were excellent and we are delighted with the final result. They were truly "trusted traders" and we will use them again on other jobs that need to be done. Well Done!

Needed a fix to a very large single glazed window on half landing that was both losing heat and letting in sound from neighbouring lorries. The JBC Secondary glazing was perfect for our Listed building - massive improvement in both draughts and noise and you would not know it was there! Excellent and efficient throughout - Roland and assistant were quick, tidy and friendly. Could maybe have got done cheaper but would certainly have been at expense of quality and probably on effectiveness.

Russell and Roland are the best tradesmen we have ever used. It was a pleasure to have them around. The work to replace our sash windows with their own double-glazed units was immaculate and has stood the test of time. We are happy to recommend them without reservation.

Absolutely first class work. Arrived on time, worked throughout the day and no mess at all. I would reccomend them to anyone and everyone.

We got JBC to fit a more modern balustrade for us and it is stunning. Great work done by a professional team. Highly recommend this company as the quality of work is outstanding.
