Established in Gorton in 1969, and now based in Denton, Jim Smith is a professional builder and plumber serving the local community for almost forty years. Old-fashioned courtesy together with fair and reasonable prices have always been the hallmark of his business.

Do you remember when you could call your local builder and be confident that if your tap washer was leaking, he wouldn't try to sell you a whole new kitchen? If your gutter were dripping, he would probably fix it, rather than trying to convince you that you (and two of your neighbours) needed new gutters back and front?

Who do you call now when you just want a regular job doing by the local builder? Some man out of the local paper? Maybe you have met one already: Fancy trademarks, brand new van full of Polish workers, shiny clipboard and lots of talk about "health and safety" to justify a huge price tag with a big lump of VAT on top. Yes, we have seen them too!

Maybe you have had some "quick cash" cowboys round already who want to do half a job with sub-standard materials? Lost of fast-talking is what they are good at, but they probably didn't turn up when they said they would did they?

If you are nodding your head reading this, you are probably in the right place.

A Local Builder Serving Local People

As a local builder, with local values and ideals, who sources materials from local suppliers, Jim understands what you are looking for. Value for money and a good job is what everyone wants; value for money and a good job is what Jim will deliver.

This is the reason why so many of his customers have come back repeatedly over the years. They no longer need to accept the poor quality, shoddy workmanship and bad service for which much of the building industry is renowned. Jim's customers know that they have found someone able to consistently deliver a first class service and provide them with peace of mind.

Working with a small family team, which has remained unchanged since the mid 1980's, you will find Jim and his staff to be friendly, polite and tidy workers.

Big Jobs or Small Jobs?

Smaller jobs fill the gaps between bigger jobs! Therefore, small and larger jobs are welcome.

From a tap washer to a re-roof. No job is too big or small.
