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.

Mark Staley
Rating: 5 out of 5
I have been in the building trade since 1981 and have developed my skills to incorporate carpentry, plastering, drainage and bricklaying. I enjoy all aspects of the building trade from groundwork to finish, I especially like cutting a roof as this is an enjoyable phase of the build. I am a clean and tidy worker and a perfectionist and this is reflected in my high standard of work. I also pride myself on my good working relationships with clients.

Having purchased our new build property thru Kingsleigh Homes Ltd, we would like to say how happy and impressed we are with Shawn and his work colleagues on producing an absolute stunning house. After initial contact with Shawn and going thru the plans and ideas we felt confident and reassured by Shawn’s knowledge and expertise. Nothing was too much trouble when we changed our minds about certain specifications during the build. It was very easy to approach him and get things done. Everything was done with high spec and professionally. Shawn’s and Kingsleigh Homes work speaks for itself. Very high standards created by him. Very pleased with the end product.

Extensions- 10 Feb 2021
Wayne built a large two storey extension off a steel frame above an existing garage for us. The job was complicated by party wall and planning issues which caused extensive delays but Wayne took it all in his stride. I have a fair bit of building experience and have worked with quite a few builders over the years and I would happily work with Wayne again, he is a good solid builder, very fair, has good communication and is excellent value for money. No hesitation in a full recommendation.

Latest review:
I received planning permission for a 3m extension, garage conversion and garden office with a toilet/shower and the architect recommended Timall. We of course carried out all our due diligence before selecting Timall as our builder. I received around 8 final quotes from various legal and reputable builders, and gratefully we chose Timall after checking their previous projects. Timall renovated my townhouse, stripped to brick, repartitioned to be more functional for my family, moved bathrooms, new kitchen etc. The council building control said we needed piling for the 3m extension, and Timall were fantastic to change their plans to carry out other internal work whilst a piling specialist was called in, who Timall also liaised with. The garden office, 3m extension and garage conversion all went well. Parminder the director was very hands-on during the project daily, with his builders on-site daily, honest in his advice, and very experienced in his knowledge of the building industry.
