Tom Cuthbert, Director
J T Cuthbert Ltd was founded by my father, John Thomas Cuthbert, in 1988. I started here as an apprentice in 2011, learned every aspect of the business and the trade, and now lead the company. We have grown by doing quality work, keeping our word, and earning repeat custom, and that is exactly how we will deliver your project.
Why Newcastle homeowners choose us
Building done right, backed in writing.
Family-run since 1988
John Thomas Cuthbert started J T Cuthbert as a brand in 1988, completing successful projects and finally taking the company limited in 2012. We have been building in Newcastle and the North East for 38 years, a family business, not a franchise, and never random subcontractors shipped in from elsewhere.
Director-led, apprentice-trained
Tom Cuthbert took over the business after starting in 2011 as an apprentice and learning every aspect of the trade and the business. He grew the company completing projects across the UK and abroad, and now personally leads every build. Joe Cuthbert is his right-hand man and runs the site day to day.
Fixed price before we start
Your written quote is the price you pay. We itemise every cost upfront. No 'while we're here' extras, no surprise invoices when the job is done. Whether it is a small repair or a full new build, transparency comes first.
Fully insured, paperwork ready
Public liability and employer's liability insurance in place on every job. We can email certificates before work starts, so there is no chasing needed. We are happy to provide references and examples of completed work across the North East.
