Highlights
"James and his team were consummate professionals - very polite and respectful. They did a fantastic job of converting a rickety old lean-to into a beautiful office space. I would absolutely recommend them and will likely use them again in the future."
"My wife and I were very happy with JW&sons hard work and professionalism throughout our kitchen renovation project. From start to finish, they were reliable, courteous and highly skilled. The communication and teams dedication were outstanding. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of workers to create our new kitchen and the final results are outstanding and exactly what we hoped for. Highly recommend !"
"James and his team have been a delight to work with. Great communication, honest advice and top-rate craftsmanship throughout. They installed our new fireplaces and bespoke cabinetry and worked through a range of odd jobs for us. Would thoroughly recommend!"

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?
