Highlights
"We have used Jake many times over the past few years and every time he delivers! Most recently Jake installed our brand new kitchen, carrying out all of the work from start to finish to a very high standard and within a very tight timescale. I can honestly say Jake is the first person we call when we need work doing on our house."
"Jake & Chris arrived bang on time, 2 lovely friendly lads.Git straight into the job …absolutely love what they have done !! Perfection !!! Definatley will have them on speed dial going forward for any carpentry jobs I want doing ( and there’s a few !! ) Thanks lads …over the moon ! Will post pics when painting is finished."
"Third occasion we have used Jake and the second time he has built bespoke fitted wardrobes for us. Extremely helpful, great quality of work, on time, tidy and a genuinely nice guy. Also wardrobes are significantly more affordable than big brands but quality and finish is outstanding. Have recommended Jake to friends and family who have also had work completed by him and will be asking Jake to complete further work for us."

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?
Run the Cowboy Checker on JJB Carpentry & Building before you contact them.
