Highlights

"Jimmy came to quote for sealing in our windows and bolting cladding. He looked carefully and identified the problems, explaining everything clearly. He provided a quote in writing. Once the scaffolding was up, he and Jon looked at everything in more depth and explained the plan of action. The work was then completed by Jon who was excellent too, explaining what he was doing and showing me photos. They went over and above what was required - clearing a bit of guttering for a neighbour and checking our loft. I was really pleased with the work done and with how well it was organised."

"We hired JHL to do a knock through of load bearing wall between kitchen & diner. Very pleased with the work completed by Jimmy & his team- they were friendly, punctual, clean & tidy. Great communication at each stage of the build, Jimmy explained the process in detail. Highly recommend & hope to use JHL again for other 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.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
