New build projects bring together every trade under one roof. Our team handles:

  • Groundworks
  • Structural building
  • Carpentry
  • Plumbing
  • Electrics in-house

Meaning you're dealing with one experienced company rather than juggling multiple contractors across different stages of the build. This is particularly useful on a new build, where the sequencing of trades has a real impact on how smoothly the project runs and how quickly issues can be resolved if they occur. For work on existing buildings, from substantial alteration, a rebuild of part of a property, or bringing an older building up to modern standards, we bring the same level of care and the same trades team, so the standard of work doesn't change based on the type of project.

Why choose R&J Building Services

R&J is an established Bedfordshire building company, with a track record built over 40 years and led throughout by Jon Fish. We are Which? Trusted Trader accredited and have been a member of Trust A Trader for 14 years. These accreditations exist to give clients confidence when committing to a project of this scale, and we take what they represent seriously on every build. We can also organise planning on your behalf, giving you one reliable point of contact for the whole build rather than having to manage architects, planners and builders separately.

A large part of our workload comes from clients who have used us before or been recommended to us by someone who has, which we think reflects our standard of work and the way we look after people through a project, from start to finish.

Beyond Shefford and Bedford, we also take on new build and existing property projects in:

  • Letchworth
  • Flitwick
  • Milton Keynes
