Our Story

BUILT ON QUALITY AND TRUST

JB Contractors was founded with a simple belief: that property owners in Plymouth and Cornwall deserve contractors who deliver what they promise. After years working in the construction industry and witnessing too many examples of poor workmanship, missed deadlines, and broken promises, we set out to build something better - a company where quality and reliability are genuinely non-negotiable.

From modest beginnings focusing on roofing work in Plymouth, we have grown to offer comprehensive external property services across the entire South West peninsula. Our team has expanded, our capabilities have developed, and our reputation has spread through word of mouth recommendations from satisfied customers. What has not changed is our fundamental commitment to doing excellent work and treating people fairly.

Today, JB Contractors operates from our base in Plymstock, serving customers throughout Plymouth, Cornwall, and South Devon. We have completed thousands of projects ranging from small repairs to major roof replacements and complete property transformations. Each project, regardless of size, receives the same attention to quality that has built our reputation.

We remain a local business genuinely invested in the communities we serve. Our team lives in these areas, our children attend local schools, and our reputation depends on delivering results that we would be proud to show our neighbours. That accountability drives everything we do.

Looking to the future, we continue investing in our team's skills, our equipment, and our service capabilities. The construction industry evolves constantly with new materials, techniques, and regulations. We stay current with these developments, ensuring our customers benefit from the best available solutions while maintaining the traditional craftsmanship that remains essential for quality work.

Our Values

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Quality Without Compromise

We use quality materials from reputable suppliers and install them properly. Cutting corners might save money initially, but we have seen too many failures from poor materials and rushed installation. We build things to last because that is what our customers deserve and what our reputation requires. Every project receives the attention it needs for excellent results.

Honest Communication

We tell you what we find, what we recommend, and what it will cost - clearly and honestly. If we think you do not need work, we say so. If we think a cheaper option would serve you adequately, we explain that. Building trust matters more than maximising every job's value. Honest communication creates lasting relationships with clients who return and recommend us to others.

Reliability You Can Count On

When we say we will be there, we are there. When we quote a timeline, we meet it. When we make a commitment, we keep it. In an industry where reliability is often lacking, we have made it a cornerstone of our service. You can trust that your project will proceed as agreed without excuses or delays.

Standing Behind Our Work

All our work comes with genuine guarantees that we honour without argument. If something is not right, we fix it. This is not just policy - it reflects our belief that customers deserve work they can trust completely. We take responsibility for our work because that responsibility motivates us to do it right the first time.

Our Team

SKILLED TRADESPEOPLE WHO CARE

Our team consists of experienced tradespeople who share our commitment to quality. We do not use subcontractors who might prioritise their own interests over yours. Every person working on your property is directly employed by JB Contractors and fully invested in our reputation.

Team members bring expertise in specific areas - traditional slate roofing, modern flat roofing systems, leadwork, exterior decoration, and more. This specialisation means the right people work on each aspect of your project. Apprentices learn from experienced craftspeople, ensuring skills transfer to the next generation.

Beyond technical skills, our team members share important qualities. They are punctual, courteous, and respectful of your property. They communicate clearly and listen to your concerns. They take pride in their work and care about the results they deliver. These qualities matter as much as technical ability.

Continuous improvement is part of our culture. Team members attend training on new materials and techniques. We invest in quality tools and equipment. We review completed projects to identify ways we could do better. Standing still is not an option when customers deserve our best.

Our team's dedication shows in customer feedback. The positive reviews we receive consistently mention not just the quality of work but the professionalism and courtesy of the people who delivered it. These comments reflect a team that genuinely cares about every aspect of customer experience.

Our Services

COMPREHENSIVE PROPERTY CARE

Over fifteen years, we have expanded from roofing specialists to comprehensive external property service providers. This evolution reflects customer demand - people who trusted us with their roofs wanted us to handle painting, fascias, and other exterior work too. Our services now include:

Roofing Services

Complete roofing solutions from emergency repairs to full replacement.

Exterior Painting

Professional exterior decoration that protects and transforms.

Weather Shielding

Invisible protection against moisture and weathering.

Power Washing

Professional cleaning for driveways, patios, and walls.

Render Repairs

Expert repair and restoration of damaged render.

Fascias & Guttering New Roof Installation

Maintenance-free roofline replacement.

This range of services allows us to address all aspects of your property's exterior. Many clients engage us for multiple services, benefiting from coordinated work and efficient project management. Having one trusted contractor handle everything external simplifies your life and often proves more economical than engaging multiple specialists.

Service Area

PROUDLY SERVING THE SOUTH WEST

From our Plymstock base, we serve customers throughout Plymouth, Cornwall, and South Devon. Our coverage extends from Bude in the north to Penzance in the west, and throughout the countless towns and villages between.

Fifteen years of working across this region has given us intimate knowledge of local property types, building traditions, and environmental challenges. We understand how properties in different areas face different demands and adapt our approaches accordingly.

Wherever you are located in our service area, you receive the same commitment to quality and customer care. Distance from our base does not affect the service you receive - only the travel time we factor into scheduling.
