Highlights
"Parquet flooring, skirting board and picture rail completed by Acorn Building. Amazing job, clean and tidy, perfect finish and great value for money. The highest quality of work with the upmost professionalism."
"We used Acorn for a house extension in 2019, and have used them on 5 other occasions since due to the quality of work and competitive pricing. In 2021 we had soakaway drainage installed and a roof replaced on a shed. In 2023 we had all windows and french doors replaced and in 2024 a full new roof replacement and a front composite door fitted. On all occasions the price quoted was what we paid, and the work is finished to an excellent standard. The 2 Jon's were a pleasure to have in our home and would always leave it clean and tidy each day. I would have no hesitation in using them again."
"Jon and Jon built an extension for us, comprising of a porch and WC. From start to finish, they conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism. Every day they'd arrive on time and wouldn't waste a moment before beginning work. Noise levels were always kept to a minimum and the site left spotless each day, such was their care not to be disruptive to us or to our neighbours. No additional request was too much, and at the end we've been left with a space that has completely transformed our home and our lives. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again for any job or to recommend them to anyone."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
