From the moment Jake arrived for a quotation on our garage conversion he portrayed nothing but passion and was a fountain of knowledge in all aspects of the build. We had others come and quote but first impressions didn't come close to that of Jake! He went into great detail and showed real enthusiasm for the potential build, this didn't change from start to finish of him being here! He would talk us through each stage of the build which we thought was fantastic, he arrived on time every day and worked harder than any other tradesmen we have used previously. Jake would always clean up after every day and his attention to detail was just incredible! Simply put Jake is not your ordinary builder! He is a true gentleman and his work speaks for itself!! We would only ever use Jake for building work now no matter how long the wait is! We couldn't be more happy with the end result and the stress free nature it was carried out.

Really recommend Jake. He was great from start to finish. Professional, friendly, on time, tidy! He was a great communicator as well - he kept us informed each day what the next stages were. He was also really flexible with any changes we made. He was super friendly and we liked having him around. We also really trusted his opinion and recommendations on what we were doing. Our project was to remove two walls in our house - one load bearing and create a space for bifolds into the garden for a nice open plan kitchen / lounge. We also relocated the kitchen. We have had a fair few contractors in now and he was by far our favourite. So much so that for any future work we want doing we'll happily wait for him to be free! Definitely hire Jake :-)

Jake has just completed work on our property. We've had composite cladding installed to both gable ends of the bungalow as well as the sides of the dormers. We also had UPVC cladding put on our soffits. When somebody recommended Jake and we looked at the reviews, we were a little sceptical as they all sounded so unbelievably good. However, from the minute Jake came on-site to the minute he left it was obvious they were justified and we'd made an excellent choice. Knowledgeable, informative, excellent workmanship, extremely helpful and a really nice guy. At the end of each day, the site was left clean and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble. We asked Jake if he could check our chimney whilst he was on the scaffolding as we'd had a slightly damp patch appear. He noticed a small hole by the lead flashing and simply filled it for us to resolve the problem as well as remove some weed that was growing on our chimney pot. We now have a very smart looking bungalow with minimal maintenance and wouldn't hesitate in recommending Jake's services to anybody we meet.

Jake rescued a collapsing garage. Came promptly to give sensible advice. Strengthened and propped roof while demolishing collapsing wall and rebuilding. Whole job completed in good time inspite of supply difficulties at present time. Completed without fuss or mess and final result better than the original. Would thoroughly recommend.

Jake designed, supplied and installed a complete new kitchen for us. This entailed the removal and disposal of the existing kitchen, re-configuring the plumbing for the sink and gas supply for the cooker, installing a new ring main, replacing flooring and wall tiles, making good damaged plaster and complete redecoration throughout. All the work was completed to schedule and to an excellent standard. We found Jake to be very trustworthy, with a great work ethic. He gave us regular updates on progress throughout and was extremely and helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

Jake is very experienced and with his professional eye, we now have the bathroom of our dreams! Would highly recommend and would use for any future work.

I have used Jake countless times over the last 7 years, from new bathrooms to extensions. This time my dorma window was leaking so I got Jake around to make good. He replaced all the lead and removed the old tiles and replaced with a dark oak composite cladding, also replaced the old felt roof and upgraded it to a lovely rubber roof giving my dorma a clean and unique look. I could not be happier with the end result and have not and will not use another builder to work on my properties as Jake is 100% trustworthy, reliable and his work is outstanding, he will talk you through every step of the job keeping your mind at ease throughout. I have now booked him to do the same to my rear dorma. I would recommend Jake to all my friends and family. A true gent and generally nice guy who would go that extra mile to keep his customers more than happy.

Jake has completed three different jobs for us since we moved here ten months ago - ranging from the addition of an external PVC door and surround to a passageway, to a complete replacement of a row of PVC windows to the major task of the installation of cladding to replace vertically hanging tiles on the walls of our house. He is the best builder we have ever used in our lifetime - a history of some 14 properties! Trustworthiness, reliability and punctuality are second to none. His quality of workmanship is superb as is his attention to detail. And when all that is done, his final tidy-up is exceptional. We look forward to the next occasion to use him - he is thoroughly recommended. Roger Barnes Hampshire

I doubt whether you could find a better or more congenial builder than Jake. He has been working on two projects over the last three months; the first converting our garage plus snug into an extra room with shower room and the second converting our separate kitchen and dinning rooms into a kitchen diner and installing a new kitchen. Jake and his sub-contractors, Bob (carpenter) and Matt (electrician) are all exceptionally good professionals. We endorse a previous feedback that Jake is an exceptional, conscientious, reliable and very helpful builder, nothing was too much trouble, working to very high standards. he's a pleasure to have around and do not hesitate in recommending him. The finished job is all we hoped it would be and more thanks to Jake.
