Sarah & Tom R., Exeter
Full Renovation & Extension
“JB Richards exceeded all our expectations. We undertook a full renovation with a large rear extension and were nervous about the scale, but John and Martyn guided us every step of the way. Their workmanship is flawless, they were always on time, and their communication made the whole process feel easy. The end result is stunning – we finally have the home we’ve always dreamed of.”
Elaine M.
Heritage Restoration & Lime Work
“Our Grade II listed cottage needed urgent restoration and traditional lime plastering, and JB Richards came highly recommended. Their knowledge of heritage techniques was incredible. The team treated the property with such care and worked around tricky details without cutting corners. It now looks beautifully restored – with the character fully preserved.”
