About Us
Watson and Sons, a family run business based in the South West!

Watson and Sons
Our Story - It all started with one man, a spade, and a dream...
In the heart of Exeter, Jamie Watson grew up surrounded by hard work, resilience, and a deep respect for craftsmanship. Inspired by his family of tradespeople and the pride they took in their work, Jamie always knew he wanted to build something of his own — something lasting. Even during his school years, while others imagined careers in offices or faraway cities, Jamie had a different vision: a business rooted in the soil, in community, and in quality service.
But as with many dreams, the first step was the hardest.
In 2001, filled with both determination and nerves, Jamie took the leap. By 2003, through trial, error, and sheer persistence, he began knocking on doors and offering his skills in gardening and general maintenance. Every garden tended, every job completed, became a stepping stone. He studied hard, earned trust, and, most importantly, always treated customers like neighbours — because they were.
Over the years, Jamie’s efforts blossomed — not just professionally, but personally too. With the growth of his family came a new chapter. What started as Watson & Son soon became Watson & Sons Building and Landscaping in 2012, reflecting both a family legacy and a broadening scope of services. From plumbing to gardening, carpentry to full-scale renovations, the business evolved into a comprehensive building services provider with one mission: to deliver the highest quality service at the most affordable price.

Over 25 Years of Building Dreams
Fast forward to 2025, and Watson & Sons is proud to celebrate over 25 years of service. We now cover homes and properties across South Devon, with a reputation built on reliability, environmental responsibility, and unparalleled customer care.
But we do more than just build and maintain — we give back. Whether it’s offering free renovations for local charities, sponsoring youth clubs, or contributing to community events, our passion for improvement extends far beyond bricks and soil. One of our proudest current projects is the rebuild of Brixham Football Club, a tribute to our commitment to Beautiful Torbay and the people who make it what it is.
At Watson & Sons, we don’t just renovate homes — we build trust, foster community, and create spaces where families thrive. Our work isn’t done until you’re happy. That’s the promise Jamie made over two decades ago, and it’s the promise we keep today.
From one man and a dream to a thriving family business, we’re just getting started.
