JR Building Service Kent recently completed our extension and internal structural changes and we couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to quality were exceptional. They completed the project within time and budget which made the entire experience stress-free.
Thomas MartinExtension & internal structural works
We used JR Building Services Kent Ltd, run by Joe Randell, to convert our garage into an office and large utility room — easily the best building/trades experience we've ever had. Joe does exactly what he says he's going to do, coordinated perfectly with Building Control, and finished on the exact day he said he would, on budget.
Gass ProductionsGarage conversion — office & utility
What an amazing company to work with. Joe and his team are extremely knowledgeable and hardworking, they turned our vision into reality on time and on budget, while being courteous and kind to my family throughout. Don't even hesitate about commissioning him for your project.

Really happy with the work done on our Garden Office. The team were professional, hardworking and easy to communicate with throughout the whole project. Everything was completed to a high standard and they paid attention to the small details as well.

Joe does such a great job! From the moment you meet him you instinctively know he's the right guy for your project. Everything is carried out meticulously and he never leaves the job until the area is clean, tidy and tools are put away.
