John4.8 / 5 ·

I chose J Gibson builders to upgrade a block built workshop into an upmarket insulated garden room with a washroom. It seems a gamble selecting someone online for an expensive item especially when paying a portion up front but John said "Don't worry, I'm a man of my word, old school"- and he is. John gave a great quote, reusing materials from the existing workshop where possible. The end result was exactly what I wanted and looks fantastic, with superb windows and bifold doors- see pic. John and Dan focussed on my job throughout and were onsite each day unless rained off, tidying up each day before leaving. Comms were on-site with John/Dan and via email with Frances. They used their experience to tackle the various hurdles that emerged and delivered a great result. John and Dan tackled the build, drainage, carpentry and plastering. I separately arranged electrician, the building regs/planning, finishing and painting. Many thanks to John and Dan.
