Our Story
Planning for Home Renovations in Exeter
J&J Contractors was founded by best mates Jay and Joshua, and Exeter is right at the heart of what we do. Jay started in the building trade at 17, learning under an established local master craftsman, and today our team brings more than 25 years of combined experience to homes across the city. Exeter has one of the most varied housing stocks in Devon, from Georgian townhouses around Southernhay and the Cathedral to Victorian terraces in St Leonard's, Heavitree and St Thomas, post-war homes in Whipton and Beacon Heath, and newer estates in Pinhoe and Alphington. Each brings its own challenges, which is why Exeter homeowners need landscaping and interior specialists who understand the city's buildings. Older homes often need sympathetic plastering, damp proofing and breathable decorating, while gardens on Exeter's hillier streets, such as those around Pennsylvania and Mount Pleasant, can benefit from levelling, terracing and sturdy fencing. With plenty of rainfall and the River Exe running through the city, good drainage on driveways and patios matters here too. Whether you live near the Quayside, in a family home off Topsham Road or on a new development on the edge of the city, we're proud to be your local team for quality work you can rely on.

Services We Provide in Exeter
Everything Your Property Needs: Plastering, Decorating & Landscaping
We offer a full range of outdoor and indoor services to homeowners across Exeter. Outside, our fencing work includes featheredge fencing, custom fencing, metal fencing and home security fencing, perfect for private back gardens in Heavitree or open-plan plots on the city's newer estates. We design and lay natural stone and porcelain patios, and our landscaping covers garden levelling, new turf, decorative stone and sleeper beds. For the front of your home, we install resin bound, block paving, gravel and concrete driveways, all designed to drain properly and meet planning rules, which matters on busy Exeter streets where front gardens are often converted for parking. Inside, we provide plastering and skimming, painting and decorating, damp proofing, internal wall insulation and room-in-roof insulation. That makes us a natural fit for Exeter's many period properties, where solid walls, lime plaster and chilly attic rooms need careful, knowledgeable work. We also offer external rendering to protect and refresh the outside of your home. Because one team handles everything, you can combine projects, such as a new driveway and fence, or replastering followed by redecorating, without the hassle of coordinating different trades across the city.
