Highlights
"Wayne has been fantastic from start to finish, we can't thank him enough. We have never done a project like this before and we were very nervous about being taken for a ride by unscrupulous builders. After reading his reviews and knowing he's local, we got in touch with him. From the moment he came to quote, we knew he was the guy for the job, calm, professional and honest. He has arranged and carried out the whole project, advised us, overcome hurdles, arranged deliveries and altered plans to meet our needs, professionally and efficiently. Thoroughly recommended 1000%."
"Wayne and Tommy have been absolutely fantastic, always prompt with timings and good at communicating - Wayne always responds quickly to messages. Any issues have been promptly solved and discussed with us. They have been polite, clean and quick with work. They have been amazing with our dog which has definitely eased stressed. Wayne has also stuck to the original quote so there have been no surprises."
"Wayne Jurd has completed lots of work, including extension, RSJ, new flooring, new fitted kitchen, electrics and bathroom install. This was a back to brick complete installation including structural work, liaison with building and planning permissions, plumbing, tiling, plastering and decorating on completion. always a clean up after every days work. Extremely reliable and a perfectionist. I can’t think of anyone else I’d entrust to do such a spectacular, clean finish. Can’t thank Wayne enough, a gentleman and a highly skilled tradesman. Thank you"

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.
