Detailed reviews
Ben jacobs has completed a few jobs for me now and I am extremely pleased with the results- he takes his time and gives options for the finished look. Usually I find workmen find the quickest / easiest way for them but not so in this case. Price has been very reasonable and he takes his time to complete the work to a high standard. I have recommended him to neighbours and they too have been pleased with his work.

Overall very pleased with the works. The steps and walls make a massive difference to the front of the house.
I would recommend BJD building to any of my friends and family. A very professional and excellent work force.
Ben recently built a raised flower bed in my garden which I was very pleased with. The guys were friendly, helpful and I would definitely recommend them.
Very professional. Took our requirements for laying paving and building brick planters and improved on them significantly by asking all the rights questions. They estimated the time required correctly and delivered all the work to a very high standard. The guys were polite and helpful throughout the project. The site was left spotless. Highly recommended.
Both Ben and Frank, without shadow of a doubt, are absolutely amazing at what they do. I can’t recommend these two brothers enough. Words won’t do justice for their craftsmanship and their passion and desire for their trade. When it comes to restoration these two brothers are the ones to call!
Reply from the business
"Thank you, it’s been our pleasure to work with you. A customer that knows exactly what they want, just makes our job much more pleasant overall. We wish you all the best in your new home and hopefully many happy times to come. Best regards Ben and Frank"
The quality of the work done in building the new wall and repairing another wall exceeded my expectations. Ben and Frank were hard working.
Very pleased with the work from this company. Clean and tidy excellent work would definitely recommend to family and friends
Prior to Ben arriving on the day we had been emailing each other about the work and getting a quote. Ben was professional from the beginning. On the day he arrived got on with the work with limited interruption. He was a pleasure to deal with and I look forward to more work from him. I've also referred him to my friend.
Anyone looking to have brickwork done then look no further than brothers Ben & Frank!! They are absolutely amazing at what they do and their passion for their craft really shows!! If the opportunity ever rises to build a home from the ground-up I know who I'd be calling!!
Professional and accommodating. Took time to answer any questions and work completed to a high standard.
Overhang brickwork in front garden.Cracked and unsteady underfoot.Ben Jacobs replied promptly and carried out the work within days.Excellent job.Would highly recommend.
Ben made a professional job of repointing and building a double brick wall.He was clean punctual and very polite I would highly recommend him Alan
Had a job done by bdj brickwork and couldn’t be more impressed with what they done, hard workers and done too a very high standard, will definitely use them again for any paving/brickwork.
Ben removed our garden wall and replaced it with a garden fence, we were very happy with work and how the area was cleared and cleaned every day. Ben and Dave arrived promptly each day and the work only took 3 days which was very good, considering the size of the wall they removed. We would highly recommend. Thankyou both
100% recommend Ben, at a difficult time for me he was so compassionate and professional, nothing was too much trouble,and did an outstanding job at my property, even had the time to help out the neighbour , excellent standard of workmanship,and communication throughout! Quotation and quality of work was first rate , will absolutely use him again for any future projects .

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.
