“We have been really impressed with the work that LJ General Builders provides. They are polite, reliable and never leave a mess behind them. Mr Haynes who is in the industry pointed out that he himself can say hand on heart that the work provided is top quality and would recommend them to anybody who would like a job doing well”.

“I was first introduced to L J Builders in early 2007 in order for them to construct a four bedroom extension to my Care Home in Leicestershire. Their price was extremely competitive and the work was completed on schedule and within the price quoted. With this in mind, I used their services again two years later to construct an eight bedroom (all en-suite) wing with lounge and dining room and wet room facility. Again L J Builders did not disappoint, completing the task by the date set plus some extra works that I asked for. Mr Shorrock was full of helpful suggestions with design and materials to be used”.
