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.

Plastering- 4 Sep 2020
Living room walls and ceiling plastered. Communication leading up to the job and during was great. Richard was great to deal with. Started first day and arrived early which is always a good sign. I went away for a few days whilst work being done and Richard kept me informed and sent through pictures and video. Really, really pleased with finish and can’t wait for it to dry out now. Cleaned up once finished too. Richard to come back to finish off once other works done and this hasn’t been a problem with him either. Would definitely recommend.

Extensions- 15 Aug 2013
Father and son team, Pip and Jake Palmer, are the bee's knees! You'd be hard put to come across a pair of more hardworking, experienced, conscientious, resourceful, reliable, skilled and meticulous builders. Nothing was too much trouble and no problem insoluble. Watching Pip and Jake work on the superb garden room extension which they've built us, it soon became very obvious that they love what they do and that they take a real pride in their job. Truly a pair of proper 'old school' builders! Five stars out of five!' Mr and Mrs Cox Nottinghamshire

We originally got a different company for the extension works but started to realise there finishing wasn't great, that's when we got Viking in. Matt done a great job with the MDF panelling and also helped finish the structure, wish we got him from the start! Viking also had their own plumber Tim which we used and was more smooth under one company.
