Building job in CO5

I was impressed with Jamie Belcher from the beginning. He adopted a no nonsense approach to our requirement (a major office refurbishment) and from the very beginning offered excellent advice and actually saved us a large amount of money. He was efficient and came in not only on time but also under budget. His after care was excellent and he came to visit us three times to make sure we were happy with the work and to make one or two minor adjustments (he had pointed out not us). In fact the landlord was so impressed that she will pass on her property maintenance and building work to him. He is thoroughly trustworthy and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone no matter how big or small the project is. If he answers your ad in Rated People – grab him with both arms!

Building job in CM8

Could not rate Jamie and his dad highly enough. Turned up early and got stuck straight into it without even a cuppa! Worked solid all day long, even helped me out during the day with a couple of bits of DIY on top of his work. Great job guys and it's really made a great difference! We will be in touch again soon for more work. If your considering Jamie for a project then look no further, you wont regret it!

Gardening & garden design job in CM6

I honestly cannot compliment Jamie highly enough. From coming round and quoting for the job up until completion he has been professional, approachable and extremely hard working. The standard of the work is second to none, testimony to this is that we will have more work done by him and family members are also going to.
