CJK Builders - Consett

Lynn D.

We used CJK Builders in 2022 for our garden room and to knock a wall down between two rooms. David and his team, particularly Cameron, did an excellent job. David talked us through the job and advised us of any changes beforehand. The first and only time we've had a stress free time with workman doing work to our home over the years. They tidied up every day and cleaned the room after the wall came down. Very friendly, polite and professional. No hesitation in recommending David as he did amazing work for us.

We used CJK for our two-storey extension in 2023. Dave and the team were professional and efficient, identifying potential issues early, finding the best solution and accommodating our young family. We had several comments from the neighbours who were impressed by the work ethic. Dave obviously has an excellent relationship with the building regs officer and we got sign off no problem. We'll be using CJK for any future work!

I became aware of CJK builders through local recommendation and from the initial quote to the completion of the kitchen extension I found them extremely professional.
A contract was drawn up with an agreed payment schedule which was subsequently followed.
The standard of work was excellent and the extension build was completed on time.
Throughout the build David and his team were easy to deal with and were flexible in accommodating last minute changes to the plans. They worked closely with the building inspector as the build progressed and on completion of the work all appropriate certificates were provided.
I have no hesitation in recommending CJK Building Services to anyone requiring building work.

I have no hesitation in recommending David and the team and CJK builders, from day one it was clear that they cared about our project as much as we did. The quality of the work was top class and the communication throughout the project was great too. We will be using them again for any further building work.

When looking to repurpose space in our house, we approached CJK Builders and we're so glad we did. David's expertise and knowledge ensured we landed the best options and design to meet the brief. The work was carried out to a very high standard, with fantastic attention to detail resulting in a top class job. The communication was excellent, we knew what was happening and when, and every trade group that supported the job were brilliant to work with and very reliable. Even when COVID meant we had to adjust the timings, it was never a problem and plans changed to support everyone concerned. Whilst a smallish job, the end result is giving us so much pleasure and we've had a great Christmas with family enjoying the re-purposed space with some great comments on the outcome! I'd highly recommend David and CJK Builders. You won't find a more reliable, trustworthy, knowledgable and genuine company to deal with. Thank you - we absolutely love the work you've done and thoroughly enjoyed having you working here! Jude & George Robinson December 2021

Top notch builder!

The process:
I decided to extend the front of my house to increase my living area.
CJK Builders came highly recommended by a friend of my sister.
I received a very detailed quote and decided to go ahead with the work.
Building work was completely contained on my property and the impact on neighbours was minimised.
A lot of effort and attention went into the groundworks, structural alterations and brickwork - the building inspector made positive comments and noted that David, the boss, dealt with issues that other builders would apparently have just left (there was a steel beam in an unexpected place).
Project management was excellent. As soon as one stage of the work was finished, the next stage started and I was kept up to speed throughout the process.

The people:
The core team were professional and friendly which is important when they are going to be around your home for a couple of months. Neighbours have also mentioned that the team were nice and friendly.
All contractors were 5 star - all nice people that I was happy to have in my house and good at their trades.
David had promised me my job would get 100% of his attention but I think it actually got 110%. He is a perfectionist and nothing was too much trouble. He was happy to discuss little details that he probably didn't have time for, such as where to put sockets, and also made suggestions, such as glazed internal doors, which I'm very happy with. Yes, there is an architect's plan and construction is a process, but the overall feel is that David appreciates that he is creating your home, not just a house, and he puts a lot of effort in to ensure you are happy with the end product.

So, the end product...
Internally, the house is transformed and finished to a really high standard.
Externally, the house looks excellent and various neighbours have complimented it - can be summed up by the neighbour who described it as 'a cracking job'.
The end product massively exceeds my expectations and I love it!

Would I recommend David and the team? Absolutely!

Just one word could cover my experience “fabulous” we decided to convert a small church to a 2 bedroom home and was recommended CJK by a local builders merchant. David is so experienced and really great to deal with. His attention to detail is outstanding and such a genuine person. Not your stereotypical builder. Thank you.

Excellent team! After getting a number of quotes I decided to go with cjk for my large Extension project to my home in Wylam, and probably this was of my best decisions of my life! I have seen other builders struggling at a slow pace and poor quality workmanship in the area.

David Bain is a skilled project manager who scoped the job well and the project was completed ahead of time and within budget. His knowledge of the building trade is good and he is very approachable. The high quality work in all aspects of building work is plain to see, including the stone work.

I thoroughly recommend CJK Building services..and future customers can call me or my wife for confirmation
