Tim and John helped us with alterations to our Grade II listed house. Their service was excellent and dealt with any complications that came up through the planning process. Just made the whole process a lot less stressful for us. Will be calling on them again soon for another job.

We are in the process of having a rear extension and open plan kitchen-dining room. JPD have been easy to work with, fast-moving, and have made the whole process much less of a burden. They have overseen the project from the beginning and have made sure that things have gone smoothly every step of the way. Without their input and support, we would never have been able to put our ideas into practice!

We have used JPD on a couple of occasions now. On both, the approach was friendly, but professional. They, in our case Tim, listened and understood what we were trying to do. The drawings were accurate, and I can commend their patience through going back and forth. They also acted as agent on the planning. I will use them again.
