Do extension builders near me need insurance?

While it isn’t a legal requirement, most builders carry public liability insurance to cover accidental damage or injury during work. Always ask to see proof of insurance before agreeing to a project.

Do local extension builders offer guarantees on their work?

Yes, many local home extension builders in your area should provide a guarantee covering their workmanship for a set period, often lasting several months to a few years depending on the project size. Always check what the guarantee covers before work begins.

What should I ask before hiring an extension builder?

Ask about previous work, project timelines, cost estimates, and payment terms. It’s also wise to discuss materials, planning permissions, and how any unforeseen issues will be handled. You can easily view examples of previous projects of extension builders near you on MyBuilder.

How much deposit should I pay for an extension project?

Deposits usually range from 10% to 20% of the total cost. Make sure the payment schedule, scope of work, and conditions are clearly written into a contract before the extension project starts.

Restoration & Refurbishment- 29 Oct 2023
Carl replied promptly to my ad. He has actually been the only one who was ready to start the renovation immediately. His project management skills are great, he knows what he does, and he is great at working with the customer to find the best solutions to all kinds of problems and difficulties that could arise when refurbishing an old flat like mine. 10/10! Thanks Carl!

Conversions - General- 9 Feb 2020
David and his team have been absolutely exceptional. Our conversion ended up being a much bigger job due to woodworm and the whole roof had to be removed and rebuilt from scratch. The team have nearly finished and the quality of their work has been outstanding and very reasonably priced. The team have worked long hours and every aspect has been of an extremely high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend this local company to anyone and we would definitely use them again.

Conservatories- 16 Aug 2020
Ryan and his team were all very professional. They were all very polite and cleaned up after themselves. They did a very good job of replacing my glass conservatory roof with a proper insulated one. They Even found some issues that we were not aware off and effected a repair whilst they were on site. On the initial visit Ryan suggested other options that we could consider which we hadn’t even thought off. Giving us a choice of finishes. I would not hesitate to use Ryan and his team again. If you are wanting work done in a professional, efficient way then hire Ryan

Extensions- 26 May 2020
After taking several quotes for our new extension we chose Jason because he was the only one who wanted to do what we wanted to do, he didn't try to dissuade us from doing what we wanted and always consulted us when he wasn't sure. Considering the god awful weather at the beginning of the project we are now nearing completion in good time. We would recommend Jason to anyone.

Extensions- 9 Nov 2022
Everything we were looking for, prompt initial contact, discussed proposed work clearly, adding his professional input where helpful. Provided clear quote with everything broken down at a reasonable price. Work carried out to high standard, and acted professional on site, and kept site clean. Final fit and finish exceedingly high, and followed up after a month to ensure we were still happy. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
