About Me…

I am a fully qualified and insured builder and joiner. I carry out all aspects of building work from the initial stages of design consultation to handing over the keys to a completed project.

Based near to Buxton, Derbyshire, I work locally in the High Peak and also have clients in parts of Staffordshire and Cheshire.

Whilst I specialise in conservation work and traditional construction, I also take on new projects. My regular work includes a wide variety of building, repairing and restoration projects.

With over 17 years of trade experience, I followed a traditional apprenticeship route and worked on property maintenance for several years before becoming self employed. I grew up around the trades and I’m the fourth generation to continue the tradition.

  • We have no hesitation in recommending Matthew Jenkins. Matthew carried out an impressive renovation on our dilapidated 15th century farmhouse. During the project we found that Matthews professionalism, ability, attention to detail and work ethic were second to none. Thankyou Matthew, we would have been lost without you!

He did superb work installing new guttering and downpipes as well as a full repair and paintion all of the soffits and fascias on the perimeter of the house. The work was done professionally at a very high level of quality, whic I am very pleased with. Excellent work all round.

  • Matthew has not only replaces slates on my roof but, replaced the lead of my porch solving all the leaks that no-one else had been able to solve in the past. I am now watertight and sleep easy. I got him back to do the pointing of loose mortar areas on the elevations and, as with the roof and leadwork, everything was done to the highest of standards. I no longer consider any other builder when I need work doing. It's Matthew all the way. It's the besy quality work I've seen.

  • We highly recommend Matthew Jenkins. Matthew has completed several projects at our home, including built-in wardrobes, a bespoke garden gazebo, and the fitting of a new kitchen, which also involved laying a new floor. The quality of his workmanship is excellent throughout. He has expert knowledge and always provides clear, practical advice, taking the time to listen to our ideas and carefully consider our requests. Matthew is reliable, professional and completely trustworthy, which gave us real peace of mind while the work was being carried out. We wouldn't hesitate to use him again and would gladly recommend him to others.

  • Matt did an extension at our house a couple of years ago. He organised the whole build from the first ideas with the architect to digging the footing himself by hand as access was difficult. He arranged a crane to lift the steels over the house. Nothing is too much trouble for him. He is an excellent tradesman aswell as polite and conscientious. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for work in the future.
