We had a full bungalow refurbishment carried out by this company and cannot over estimate how good the service was from from John ( J D Kent ) ...when we asked John to quote he spent a lot of time talking through our requirements and advising us on what works well ( and not) along with the technical elements associated with our work. Once we had… confirmed he provided us a price and talked us through every element which we was more than happy with , They started on the agreed date and the work progressed really well as per Johns timescales and when we had problems ( through no fault of Johns

We would highly recommend Jon and his team. We had our single storey rear extension built in the first half of 2020, when we had 2 major storms and a pandemic to contend with and can not fault his work and commitment during this challenging time. We didn't change a lot from the original design but the changes we did make during the build were no… hassle for Jon who was happy to accommodate. His communication was spot on throughout, any concerns or queries were responded to very quickly. If we need any building work done in the future we would not hesitate in asking Jon.

Jon has recently completed our extension and we are thrilled with the end result. From his initial quote and expert advice we hoped Jon and his team would be easy to work with and we were not disappointed. Jon project managed a lot of the build providing us with plasterers, roofers, joiners who have all been friendly and efficient in their trades. We couldn't recommend Jon enough if you are thinking of doing work to your home. We now have the house we've always wanted and are very grateful to have had an easy going, hard working guy on side.

Jon has just completed an extension to replace our old conservatory and has done an excellent job, his team really grafted to get the build done and he organised the trades efficiently. We are really pleased with the outcome and would recommend Jon and his team for anyone wanting an experienced and reliable builder.

Lovely job recently completed for me. The builders on site put in a lot of hard work to get the job done on time whilst maintaining quality workmanship.
