    Alex Parkinson - Image 1 "From our very first meeting with Jon, his calming, reassuring, and deeply knowledgeable nature made it clear he was the right builder for our project. Jon’s high standards are reflected in his team, who were a pleasure to have in our home. They care about the work as if it were their own property, treating both us and our home with the utmost respect every single day. As with any major project, challenges and delays cropped up, but Jon was quick to suggest practical, well thought out solutions and ensured they were executed without fuss. The whole experience felt organised, collaborative, and genuinely supported. Outside of the core building works, one of the most helpful aspects of working with Jon was his itemised quoting and invoicing. It made it incredibly easy for us to track progress, understand each stage of the build, and stay fully in control of our spend. That level of transparency gave us real confidence from day one. We couldn’t recommend Jon and his team highly enough"

    Denise Jones - Image 1 "Jon and his team knocked through from the kitchen into the dining room and fitted new kitchen units and flooring. Everything was done on time and to a good standard. I would recommend them for any building works."

    "We carefully chose our main contractor when seeking a loft conversion back last summer (2025). Jon struck us from outset with his level of knowledge and experience and absolute safety first way of working. The team that Jon built around him, from those on site day to day to trades people only delivering their part of the project were all expertly managed and were all as equally polite and respectful of our home environment (busy with children and dogs). Jon and team are trustworthy, knowledgable and provided both ideas and know how to complete the job in the time they initially estimated. Overall, I would recommend Jon and he will make your project ideas come to life. Very happy with the end result."

    "R&J did our extension in 2022 + later kitchen floor / kitchen units replacement in 2025 in Hitchin - very happy with the service from end-to-end - honest and direct, and a friendly team. Creative solutions to any problems which came up, speedy once on site, and no real issues / surprises since - it's all solidly built. Even sorted out some awkward roof design problems which the architect left unsolved. Would recommend."
