He's A Chip Off The Old Block

JW Dickinson...building for the future.

When you need building and renovation work done, it can be tricky finding a reliable company. Word of mouth is the tried and tested route, but sometimes that’s not possible.

Which is why it’s best to find a business which has a history in successful construction.

And if it’s a family firm, so much the better.

Which is why JW Dickinson is one of the most respected names in the Northeast building and property maintenance industry.

Leading from the front is the boss, James Dickinson.

The name…Dickinson…is well known in the region. His father, Brian, was involved in all forms of construction for over 40 years and has since retired.

In other words, James was brought up surrounded by conversations relating to building. No surprises therefore that he now has his own successful building company.

“We’re a proud family business which is steadily growing, but we still have good old family values at the core of everything we do,” said James. “The key to any business is its staff, which is why I’ve built a team of 10 craftsmen who’ve racked up over 130 years of construction experience. Since I started JW Dickinson eleven years ago, I’ve also developed a reliable network of suppliers, architects and specialists who can take care of any project, small or large.”

Oh, and if you need any sort of reassurance, his company is a member of the Federation of Master Builders and is TrustMark registered, with all staff trained to NVQ Level 3. Work is covered by an insurance-backed warranty, alongside employer and public liability insurance.

And if you go onto the MyBuilder website and check reviews of work done by JW Dickinson, they all award a 5-star rating.

“We’re a residential building company working extensively throughout Gosforth, Jesmond, Whitley Bay, Tynemouth and Ponteland, but can also operate further afield into Northumberland and Co. Durham. Whether you’re looking for house extensions, loft conversions, home refurbishments or a similar service, we offer complete building solutions from the initial design consultation all the way through to completion. We also provide a service for commercial premises and will shortly begin whole house construction.

“We’re currently working on a large orangery at a family house in Jesmond, several renovations and numerous extensions in the Gosforth area. Thankfully, with 10 of us on the team and six vehicles, we can easily cope with the level of work undertaken. The new builds are the result of being able to offer a total build service thanks to our tried and trusted network of local suppliers and architects. We can offer a full advisory service and even help with local planning applications.”

And don’t forget, you will almost certainly find that once James and his team have finished the job, it will have invariably added value to the property.

“People need to look long term when it comes to costs because I’ve lost count of the number of times that we’ve started a job, only to find that additional work needs to be done because previous work has been substandard. I also find that I can offer different ideas and solutions that are cost effective.”

In other words, JW Dickinson can provide you with all your building and property requirements, and lead you through any project, keeping you fully informed along the way.

JW Dickinson…building for the future.
