"We would WHOLE HEARTEDLY recommend Jason to other people. The whole extension was metisticly planned which resulted in a smooth operation, despite poor weather, everything went according to the planned scheduled. Jason kept us fully informed of his plans during the build and was always very approachable and flexible. The quailty of Jasons build was VERY VERY GOOD and absolutely no short cuts are made.
In summary - If you were to instruct Jason you would end up with a VALUE FOR MONEY build that was built to a VERY HIGH STANDARD.
It would also be kept to budget"

Once we had finalised architect plans and obtained Planning Permission, we wanted to appoint a Builder - Lovelock and Sons we were one of those on our architects approved list. Since our project was to build a ground floor and 1st floor extension, a utility/dog room, together with internal reconfigurations, we wanted a builder who could effectively project manage the works programme and all the associated trades.
Having met Jason Lovelock, he stood above others seen, with his evident project management skills, and we felt we could work well with him. Having appointed him and once the works commenced, Jason was good to his word and kept us fully informed of progress on his tracker, clearly explaining any difficulties encountered with options provided for us to consider.
In spite of some complex phases, Jason always planned well ahead and we never had any gaps in the programme - workmen from his proven network of trades were always on site as required. As we were living in the property for the duration of the 10 month programme, Jason did his best to minimise the disruption to our lives, and that of our dogs. That’s not to say we weren’t relieved to get our ‘new’ house back to ourselves - but very happy with the build quality and finish.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Lovelock & Sons.

Jason created and delivered a wonderful bespoke wet room for help with my mobility issues. From the initial meeting he made me feel safe and it was clear that he would help me with getting a usable working shower room perfect for me.
He exceeded my expectations hands down and am delighted with the functionality of having angled grab rails suiting my height with a fold down seat to enable me to safely shower each day. Installing aqua panels on the walls, adding alcoves in stainless steel has given me a bathroom I smile at each day.
His team removed my existing bathroom suite and his project management skills were excellent to ensure my new bathroom was completed in a professional way.
I highly recommend Lovelock & Sons Ltd for any mobility and disability work round the house. His staff of plumbers, electricians, fitters and painters were all top class and made me very happy to have met such super qualified workers.
Anita - Mobility Wet Room/Bathroom
Jason and his team carried out a complete extension of the upper and ground floor of our property including a full kitchen extension and extensive mobility adaptions including external ramps and through floor lift access.
Throughout the project we were fully consulted at all times and advised throughout of the planned progress of the work. Despite suffering the worst winter for many years, Jason was able to pull back any delay to complete within the original time frame.
Jason's planning and attention to detail is of a very high standard as is his aim to keep disruption to normal life to an absolute minimum. His quality of workmanship is second to none as is the workmanship of the tradesmen he employs and he is completely trustworthy having been left in charge of our property on many occasions.
We are very pleased with all aspects of the finished work and would fully recommend Jason for any building work large or small and would have no hesitation whatsoever of inviting him back to carry out any future works.
Thanks for all your help

Jason did a fantastic job, converting our small tumble down stone barn into a cosy, open plan, split level, off-grid cottage - it was nothing short of a miracle! Jason has all the qualities you could hope to find in a builder - honesty, technical knowledge, superb practical skills, experience, wisdom and good humour. He worked really hard to fulfil my vision, and came up with some great ideas I hadn't thought of, but at the same time was honest enough to tell me, very tactfully, when my ideas just wouldn't work! Jason's enthusiasm and drive helped us overcome some very tricky hurdles, and every phase of the work was explained to me, carried out to the highest standard, with no corners cut. I would thoroughly, and without hesitation, recommend Jason to anyone carrying out a similar project.

Choosing Lovelock and Sons was one of the best decisions I’ve made. My 105-square-metre garage had an old planning consent for conversion into a holiday let. Because the original structure was dilapidated with a rotten roof, we decided to apply for new planning permission for a complete new build. My architect recommended three good builders, including Jason Lovelock, but warned me that because they were so highly regarded, they were incredibly busy. To be thorough, I reached out to those three alongside seven other builders. When Jason visited, we had a good and detailed two-hour consultation. My final decision was based on quality, service, and cost—but with such a significant investment, quality was my absolute priority. What deeply impressed me was Jason’s proactive approach; he was genuinely focused on how to add value using premium materials like oak beams, while simultaneously finding clever ways to reduce costs such as the demolition phase. It felt less like a standard supplier transaction and much more like a true partnership. Throughout the 11-month project, Jason continued to suggest excellent design improvements such as to the floor space, roof build, and kitchen layout all without increasing the cost. Lovelock and Sons have a phenomenally hardworking team; also punctual, friendly and reliable. Knowing that Jasons sons co-own the company gave me confidence, as it means they are personally invested in the success of the build. The transparency of their billing is exemplary. Costs are clearly split between materials and labour, invoiced every two weeks so you see exactly what you are paying for. There were no stressful upfront demands; you pay strictly for delivered progress.
The holiday let has now been open for two and a half years, and we have experienced no issues. Our only minor complication was an external tree root encroaching on the wastewater Bioair tank 18 months post-build, which Jason and his team swiftly resolved within a month. Countless holiday guests have since commented on the breathtaking quality of the build. Lovelock and Sons deliver absolute excellence.
