Can a home conversion contractor assist with planning permission?

Depending on the nature of your project, you might need planning permission. Skilled contractors can advise whether it’s necessary, help with submitting applications, and ensure your renovation abides by local regulations.

What type of warranty or guarantee is typical for home renovation near me?

Most contractors will offer a workmanship warranty that covers defects or issues for a certain period after the job is finished. Be sure to ask what’s included so you know you’re protected.

How do I assess a contractor’s previous work quality?

Look through their portfolio of past renovation projects and read authentic reviews from former clients. Many contractors share photos and feedback on MyBuilder, helping you gauge their skills and customer service.

Will a home renovation increase my property’s value?

A well-planned renovation can add functional space and enhance your home’s value. Contractors can often suggest design ideas that will improve both your living experience and the property’s resale appeal.

Guttering- 9 May 2018
Absolutely fantastic job. Worked like a trooper in all weathers. Nothing was too much Trouble and the work has been finished to a very high standard. Cleared up after himself each evening and worked through into the evenings often. Even the rain did not put him off and carried on working soaked through. If you are looking for a true expert for finlock guttering removal or replacement. Jason Shaw is your man. We had all concrete guttering around the bungalow removed and also removed from inside the conservatory. He made sure all openings were securely covered , taped up so we had no dust in rest of the house. We can highly recommend him .

Conversions - General- 8 Nov 2010
Kaspars and his team did a great job. They did what they said they would, when they said they would, right from the first visit to quote, pricing, doing the work and completion. This same reliability cannot be said for most others. When others "kicked the tyres", shook their heads and said it would cost extra to do it properly, there was non of that corner cutting with CBS. The area was kept clean and tidy every day and the work to a high standard. They were friendly and accommodating, their price was good, the guarantee was lengthy and I would have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them to others.

Restoration & Refurbishment- 17 May 2018
Keith Gary and Dan have done a wonderful job on my house starting with the roof and refitting including most walls. They have listened to what I wanted and carried out the recommendations from the lime company which has increased the insulation incredibly. The job was challenging due to lack of parking and access but they have worked amazingly hard to finish on time and on budget. Where possible Keith has salvaged and adapted existing fixtures and given lots of guidance and expert advice on decisions about what was practical and expedient . The volume of work was enormous due to the completely run down state of the property but it is now barely recognisable as a beautiful dwelling conserving as much of the original as possible. All the work has been to the highest standard and skill and structural reinforcement and repairs done wherever necessary. The existing heating system has been adapted and conserved where possible , again keeping the costs within budget, and the new kitchen and bathroom installed .Keith communicated with me at all necessary junctures and never seemed irked by daft questions or having to explain things more than once .He has made a lovely slate plinth for the kitchen woodburner and everywhere you look are examples of problem solving . So I am well happy with all the work and feel that I was very fortunate to have such skilled builders who never lost their sense of humour when things were very challenging with the weather and working conditions.

Conversions - General- 8 Oct 2022
Valentin, Dan and Chris did a great job turning an old wooden shed into a beautiful teenage den / home office. They stripped the shed down to the original wooden frame, replaced the roof and cladding, subdivided the internal space into two rooms and a small shower room. The job was reasonably priced though there was a little scope creep much of it due to additions to the original specification that resulted in an increase in price. With hindsight we should have made sure we kept track of additional work. They were friendly, tidy and considerate in the work and the dog loved having them around. They were professional and hardworking and we were pleased with the final result which was excellent value for money. We would recommend Valentin and his team and will have them back to do more work for us.

Giles and his colleague Dan were an absolute pleasure. Sadly as often happens, the job turned out to be hugely more complex than anticipated due to structural concerns. Despite this Giles was flexible and patient, with the final adjusted invoice remaining very reasonable.

Conversions - General- 5 May 2015
Andrew and his team have done an excellent job on my garage conversion ( roof getting done next year) the guys were ready to go at 7am and didn't finish until back of 4pm everyday. Any points I wasn't sure about Andrew was happy to discuss and change to my preferred option. The job was finished later than anticipated but I had no issue with this as the guys didn't stop when here. I had one main issue when the job was finished, when going to fit my laminate flooring I discovered that the floor in my existing dining room wasn't level at the new French doors. This meant although the new conversion floor was level I couldn't run the floor right through both rooms as planned. Andrew sent his guys up to assist with levelling the floor and start off laying my flooring to help get over the adjustments needed even though the conversion floor was level and to spec. He done this at no extra cost. The cost agreed at the start was what I paid and was very competitive compared with other quotes I got. I would highly recommend Andrew and his team and won't hesitate to use him again
