Joe and his team did an excellent job repairing our Lych Gate and re-laying the front path which was in a very sorry state due to tree root damage. They had to remove the tiles of the Lych Gate before straightening the structure and putting in new larch posts to bolt to the original (rotted below ground) posts. They re-tiled and found matching tiles for ones that were damaged and also repainted the woodwork….it almost looks brand new. They also managed to salvage most of the original paving slabs. Highly recommended

Joe and his team have carried out high quality building work at our property. Work completed - internal wall removed - chimney opened and supported with two lintels - new rear door opening created - old rear access bricked up to create a window - ceiling removed and re-boarded - plastering - excellent workmanship Brickwork matched to original imperial bricks and colour matched mortar Joe helped us to project manage the renovation and has been very helpful throughout. He is very knowledgeable and is happy to advise on how work should be completed.

The work Joe and his team carried out at our house was done to a good standard. They arrived on time and left the place tidy after finishing up on each day. The agreed timescales were met and any questions we had were promptly answered.

Joe (the builder) repointed our front bay, cemented around the door and fixed the chimney stack on the side of the house. Key things I noticed: - His team were punctual, - He recommended that certain works should not be done (i.e. he didn't try to add extra work to increase the price), - Everything was cleaned-up after the work was done, - He was very experienced in his knowledge and advice. - The price was fair too. We would definitely use Joe again!

I had a bit of an emergency recently. Plastering exposed a rotting lintel, which was supporting a chimney breast. I only had a couple of weeks to put things right before our kitchen fitter started. We had some questionable builders quote and propose some less than suitable solutions. Luckily we came across the J L Lyon’s team. Joe came around within the week, talked through his proposed solution, and could start the following week. The lintel was replaced and some supporting brickwork rebuilt. Joe and Phil were always prompt, polite and tidy and a pleasure to have around. I’m glad to have found someone of Joe’s calibre to add to my contacts and will be considering them again for any future work!

Thank you for the repointing and DPC works carried out on property.

Joe and team completed a single storey rear extension to our home recently. Joe was able to source all materials without delay to the project even whilst we were in lockdown. The extension was approved by the council without hiccup and has also been inspected by the FMB (Federation of Master Builders). I have no hesitation in recommending Joe and team.

Joe's team rebuild the paths around our front yard allowing larger vehicles to park and easy walking. This used a good number of old paving stones and such. The areas involved include some steep gradients and old, hard concrete slabs which took some breaking. This was completed exactly as we wanted and in very good time. The old brick wall was expertly modified and nicely finished. The team are really professional and a good laugh as well!

Carried out plinth repair to my house. This involved cutting back to the brickwork in places, rendering and re-painting. All work was carried out to a high standard, in a clean and tidy manner and in the required timeframe. Recommended.

Joe and his team created a concrete base in my garden for a plastic shed I had purchased. Joe was reliable and excellent to deal with, and the communication was clear throughout. The work was completed to a high standard. The team even came back to touch up the base after a stray animal had left some minor footprints, which I appreciated. Would recommend and consider using again.
