Macclesfield's Trusted Building Contractor — 30+ Years
J & L Building & Design has been serving homeowners across Macclesfield and Cheshire for over 30 years. Family-run, CITB-registered, and fully insured — led by Dave, your single point of contact.
Our Story
Built on Reputation, One Project at a Time
J & L Building & Design was founded over 30 years ago in Macclesfield, Cheshire. What started as a small general building outfit has grown into one of the area's most trusted all-inclusive building contractors — handling everything from house extensions and loft conversions through to full new builds, kitchens, bathrooms, and landscaping.
Our reputation is built on straight-talking, honest pricing, and work we're genuinely proud of. Dave leads every project personally — he's your single point of contact from first call to final handover. No middlemen, no subcontracting surprises, no chasing multiple trades.
We've worked on hundreds of homes across Macclesfield, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Prestbury, Knutsford, and throughout the wider Cheshire area. Our customers come back to us again and again — and send their family and friends our way.
Dave's Philosophy
“We work with all budgets. What matters is doing the job right and leaving the customer happy. That's what keeps people coming back.”
