K E Jones and Son have been working on our Grade II listed cottage for the last few months. We needed a French drain installed to prevent damp, re-rendering to damaged external parts of the cottage, redecoration of cottage walls, timber windows and doors, new lead applied to tops of windows, new garage doors, paths and back patio re-pointed, driveway re-laid and woodworm treatment to internal beams. This was extensive work to undertake but Ben and his team took it in their stride and nothing was a problem.
Ben and his team are very professional, friendly and well presented. Throughout all

Ben & his team have provided a super job from start to finish. Very professional, hard working and transparent. We've had renovations on our grade II listed cottage and the work carried out has been to an excellent standard. Nothing was too much trouble and numerous detail changes were happily accomodated. Just make sure you have plenty of tea bags! Sam & Camilla Jordan.

Ben and his team have just finished a substantial refurbishment for us. Knocking through a load bearing wall and chimney breast to create a large, kitchen diner, installing kitchen, new lighting, downstairs cloakroom, new stairs and heating system. Ben is very responsive, experienced and friendly. All of his team took great pride in their work. We're absolutely delighted.

Literally incredible!!! K.E Jones spent several weeks completely renovating and refurbishing our kitchen/ upstairs. It was a very complex job with structural walls that needed to be removed, damp and timber issues, stair reconfiguration, all new plumbing underfloor heating etc, you name it it needed it. Our new kitchen/dining utility and spare room are absolutely stunning. I can not thank these guys enough, they were an absolute pleasure to deal with and also helped along the way with ideas beyond our knowledge. A huge big thank you to the team for creating our dream space, we literally never leave

Ben and his amazing team have done several different jobs for us on our period home. Each time he has given some great advice and always tried to keep the cost down without cutting back on quality. The work has all been completed to a really high standard and after each day have left the house clean and tidy. Thank you very much to all of you, it is much appreciated and I will reccommend you to everyone.
