Highlights
"Got this company's details via the checkatrade site because it had good reviews and we needed a roof repair and replacement ceiling following water damage. The work they have done is excellent. James repaired the roof and took away all the rubbish, even the plasterer left the room very clean. Would definitely recommend J Jarvis."
"I noticed a leak on the roof of our garage & after speaking to James (he has done work for us before) he managed to fit us in promptly to repair it. He was very accommodating to fit around our work etc & very respectful when doing the work. He kept me informed of what was wrong & what he did to repair the roof. James is polite, courteous & a makes getting any work on your house done very easy. His work is to a great standard & I would definitely recommend."
"We had replacement windows installed, and the service was great. James was professional and easy to communicate with. The installation was clean, fast, and the windows are exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend!"

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.
