I live in a 30s house. It is end of terrace (they are built in blocks of 4). It used to have a roof which sloped 3 ways and I thought we could not have a loft extension. About 2 years ago I met Jordan when he was working across the road and he was the first person to explain to me that we could have what is called a hip to gable loft extension. I also thought this is the man I would like to do it.

It took me some time to digest the information and investigate possibilities; in the end I did get Jordan and he did a great job.

He has been building loft extensions since he left school; he really knows what he is doing. Neighbours commented on how quickly the job was done. The bulk of the work was done in 4 weeks.

He is also a perfectionist, which is rare in a builder, and everything he does he does well. What is more he is straightforward and honest. You know where you are with him. I had no problem leaving him the key of the house.

I also liked and trusted the people who work for him. He will get subcontractors back if they have not done things exactly right.

I found him very reasonable and helpful with my particular concerns. For example, I wanted to include a kitchenette. That has worked out perfectly. I also wanted to make the most of a good south facing view and he put in a really big Juliet balcony.

Building work is messy. Wives hate it. Jordan is sensitive to that; he is clean, tidy and organised, expert at avoiding unnecessary inconvenience.

If you would like to see our loft extension, no problem just get in touch. And there is another one which Jordan built over the road.
