had jamie and daz convert my garage. They were very reliable and hard working very happy with the work they done and would reccomend to anyone! Great price also!
JDR done a fantastic job of converting my garage into a living area. I have recommended them several times already and will continue to do so in the future.
We had a double extension completed in 2022, the builders were amazing, helping us every step of the way. They were always polite, on time, always kept us well informed of everything going on and they were the cleanest, tidiest builders we have ever used. Would highly recommend
After using these guys for a double height front extension I didn't hesitate to get them back to build my summer house. Again it went up really quick I knew the costs from the start and I'm so pleased with the build.
Jamie and Daz were brilliant from start to finish. They built us a single storey rear extension, took out an internal wall, and extended our hallway – everything looks amazing. They explained things clearly all the way through and made the whole process really easy to understand. What we really appreciated was how flexible they were – they even managed to fit in some extra work we’d planned for later, which was a huge help. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were always friendly and easy to have around. We’re so pleased with the end result and would recommend Jamie and Daz to anyone without hesitation.
Superb work and really great service - very polite and clean - couldn’t recommend more
Have already recommended and I am happy with the work carried out.
We used JDR for our build and we could not be happier with the results. They were excellent from start to finish and the work they carried out was perfect. They took on everything from the groundworks right through to full completion of our home. Could not ask for more.
We couldn’t be happier with the work carried out on our home extension. JDR Building Services managed our entire project and were extremely reliable, professional & tidy from start to finish! Communication was excellent throughout which cannot be said about some other tradesman that we have dealt with in the past, they were also brilliant at explaining every stage of the project to us clearly! We are so pleased with the end result and have had many complements on the end result from friends & family, would have no hesitation in recommended them to anybody!
I have used JDR twice over the years. First I had a new rear extension and a part 1st floor extension, we had no experience of home extensions but JDR talked us through the process and offered us recommendations along the way, we had a young baby whilst the work was being carried out and they were extremely accommodating, ensuring that the site was safe, boarded and dust free. The second time we converted a bungalow with a rear extension and loft extension, again the service and quality was top draw, the entire building was reworked, during this time the building was empty and we were confident we could trust them to come and go with their own key, they did not let us down. Another fantastic job completed. Both Jamie and Daz are hard working, tidy and reliable builders and I will only contact them if we were to need further building work in the future. It's hard to find reliable trades people, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a full interior refurb including new walls, chimney removal, electrics, plumbing and plastering completed by JDR. From the initial conversation to completion of the work Jamie and Daz were friendly, honest and reliable and their project management, advice, attitude and ability to resolve issues were first class. The JDR team were always punctual, helpful, organised and clean. What could have been a stressful time for us was made easy with all the help and great work from JDR. The finish was superb and completed on time with no hidden costs. A highly recommended team to tackle any size job.
Really good overall - very helpful - accommodating - we had a few changes and they were happy to carry these out -already recommended and having them back
We initially had building work done in our living room but were so pleased with it that we got them in again for work in our kitchen. Well organised and works were carried out quickly. We have recommended to friends and family and would definitely use again.
Cannot fault them - already recommend - great from start to finish and saved us a lot of stress and ran smoothly.
Would recommend them and already have. They did everything we asked for and more and we are so pleased with the work carried.
Preparation is key and this was definitely taken care of Work carried out quickly and to top quality Every evening our home left tidy with a huge clear up on completion Very polite and friendly work men Would thoroughly recommend
From initial quote through to completion Jamie & Daz we’re amazing. Friendly, informative, knowledgeable in their area of work, respectful of our home, very tidy, punctual and completed the project within the time scale scheduled. I would use them again & recommend to anyone needing work done.
