This was our second time working with Jon and this time was a full kitchen refit including carpentry, plumbing, plastering & laying LVT floor. We had to wait a few months to start, but that is testament to Jon as he is in high demand. Excellent from design through to finish, helped us come up with solutions and communicated well with us and the supplier throughout. We are very happy with our new purpose built kitchen. Thank you Job

We couldn’t be happier with the work Jon has done on our kitchen! His craftsmanship is outstanding, every detail has been completed to perfection, and the quality really speaks for itself. Jon was a pleasure to have in our home throughout the project. He was not only professional but also incredibly easy to communicate with, always keeping us updated & taking the time to explain things clearly. His knowledge and advice were invaluable, helping us make the right decisions at every step. On top of all that, Jon was so respectful of our space, keeping everything clean and tidy as he worked. It made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable, especially as he was able to assist with other smaller additions such as window fitting, door re-siting, plumbing in toilet which saved so much hassle. We’re absolutely thrilled with the end result and would highly recommend Jon to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and personable builder. A big thank you to him for transforming our kitchen!

Jon is an excellent carpenter and did a wonderful job of fitting my new kitchen . It wasn’t without its challenges but Jon overcame these with his skills and I’m very happy with the finished result. Would recommend to family and friends.

This is 2nd worktop installation that Jon has completed for us, included cutouts & ceramic sink connection, very pleased with everything from first call through to finish, with great advice & care throughout. Have already booked Jon for our next project - full bathroom renovation !

Jon completed this renovation to our kitchen. It included plastering, tiling, plumping and reversing the external rear door and window. The kitchen ceiling was replaced and new floor boards fitted. We cannot praise Jon enough for this excellent job, the price and his work ethics. Jon is a total professional and we highly recommend. Thank you so much Paula & Geoff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What should have been a straightforward (ish) 2 week kitchen refurb spiralled into a complicated structural challenge, as Jon uncovered some unexpected issues with our small Victorian terrace. As well as damp issues, a hidden rotten window with a boiler hanging from it and an unsupported chimney breast were found, before Jon could begin with the kitchen fit. Despite all the challenges, nothing seemed to throw him off course. Jon tackled all the work, including the structural stuff and brought in trades to do the gas and electric. The finished kitchen looks fantastic - light, dry and clean with loads of storage and some nice touches. Jon did all the flooring, plumbing, plastering, tiling, also building a wardrobe upstairs, carpentry and more with good humour and patience and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others. There was nothing he couldn't do !
