LOFT CONVERSIONS - Don't move out, move up!
JM Contracting have over 20 years specialist experience in loft conversions. From a single room with roof windows to a large dormer with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, we can make the most of your existing space.
All our conversions are completed to current building regulations, and armed with this knowledge we can achieve the very best use of your space, tailored to your requirements and your budget.
Why incur the expense and upheaval of moving, or lose precious outside space to an extension, when we can utilise your dormant roof space.
EXTENSIONS
Sometimes our customers have the space to really go for it, and substantially increase the size of their homes. We can help you design and develop a stunning extension for your garage, dining room, bedrooms and beyond.

latest reviews
I just wanted to give some feedback to JM Contracting regarding a job we recently finished. The customer had secured your services for an extremely large loft conversion, which in turn you recommended us for the tiling. When the customer visited our shop to pay our invoice she praised your extremely high standard of work. She said that she would have been unable to trust anyone else with completing the work to such an exacting standard, and the job was completed mostly in her absence. When I went to finish our part of the work, the customer walked me round the finished coversion, at times she was unable to express her gratitude because of the obvious time and effort you had put into the project. As a consequence we would not hesitate to recommend JM Contracting for any type of loft conversion or extension in as the proof was in the pudding!
Their friendly staff and personal service that deliver exelent quality.
When the local hooligans, with a possible eye for robbing my photographic studio, decided to kick my rear door in, it was of great concern that my property was left vulnerable. I'm a photographer and as someone who has as much joinery skill as a caveman with a blunt piece of stone, it was a great relief to have my new door installed by JM Contracting. I can now sleep soundly in my bed, knowing that my security is once more in place, thanks to JM Contracting and the attention to detail that the team took over the installation. There will be no hesitation in recommending them to my colleagues, now that I have first hand knowledge of the professional service and skill they provide. Keep up the good work.
JM Contracting had to call on a few occasions, all by prior arrangement, due to various complications such as inclement weather, unforeseen remedial work, etc, but they soldiered on and made sure that the job was finished for the agreed deadline. The work was carried out in a professional and efficient manner, and resolved the issues we were experiencing. So now I have my early Christmas present of some new guttering! I had used other joiners and builders on various jobs, and whilst their service wasn't bad, John's has been better. And perhaps more significantly the prices have been more competitive. The price charged was very reasonable, less than I've paid before on a comparable basis, and not hidden extras or suprises! I've had no hesitation in recommending JM Contracting to my client and associates in the past and I will continue to do so.
JM Contracting recently repaired my elderly relative's bay window. She had previously used a cold caller who carried out such poor and shoddy work that the repair was totally ineffectual. John Martin called to see her and within minutes had put her mind at ease and explained in non-jargan terms how he would carry out the required repair and provided contact details and a quote for the job that she was able to send to her insurance company. True to his word, John arrived at her house on time and completed a really high quality job promptly and to her satisfaction - a remarkable feat in itself (the satisfaction, not the quality job!). I can and will continue to recommend JM Contracting for any joinery and building work. They are truly a local firm providing quality work to local people! Thanks John, for a job well done!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank John and his team for all of their efforts in completeing a superb job which we are extremely pleased with. John and his staff have been thoroughly professional throughout and your dilligence shows in the quality of the finished loft. We are particularly pleased with the way the staircase fits in to the hallway, something which neither of the other companies from which we received estimates, even offered as a possibility. All the people who have viewed the room so far have been extremely impressed, and we will continue to recommend JM Contracting to all of our family and friends. Once again, many thanks.
John recently completed an extension to our house, and we are absolutely thrilled with the new space. The under floor heating has been a real success, we have turned all the radiators off on the ground floor as we are finding it does the job on its own! The oak truss and rafters speak for themselves, and it makes a great first impression on our visitors who have all commented on the quality of the works. We would like to pass on our thanks to all of the team for their efforts.
John Martin's team carried out pebble dashing to our office and also to a wall at our home. All work was carried out to the highest possible standard. The quotations are always very reasonable, the work undertaken in a timely manner and the resulting installation has served us well. I would like to thank John and his team for the hard work put into completeing a job well done. We have worked on many complex projects with John's team and find the interface and flexibility very good leading to job completion without problems. I would not hesitate to recommend them in the future.
When we first considered creating a new open plan kitchen/living area in our house, little did we realise just what we were letting ourselves in for and in the end, how much we were going to change our home. It seems a long time now since we first drew up our plans and then began the search for a reliable builder. We were impressed from the outset with the friendly manner, smart appearance and keen eye for detail. Having been assisted by John's advice and detailed quotation, there was little doubt in our minds that we had chosen the right builder for our work. Despite the various highs and lows, set backs and frustrations which are inevitable during any building work, we can honestly say that one constant throughout the whole project was your professionalism. The problems the team encountered, coupled with our demands for additional work must have given many of the people there a headache. However at no time did we feel under any pressure from John and thanks to him, we felt supported at all times and confident that no problem was insurmountable. It is obvious that the quality of the build is in no small measure a consequence of John's personal high standards and constant review of his team's work. Despite being let down by our door supplier and subsequent delays we felt supported by John and his team. We are very grateful to John for this and for giving his time latterly to meet with the company's managing director to help us overcome our grievance. We are delighted with the end product and it greatly surpasses our expectations and has attracted many, many positive comments from visitors. You can be sure that we are thoroughly enjoying the use of our new space and are recommending JM Contracting to all our family and friends. Thank you so much.
