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.

Extensions- 8 Apr 2018
I would highly recommend Greg (Penco Builders) for any work you're considering. His team worked like trojans ensuring very tight deadlines are adhered to at the highest standard. The only thing I regret is not finding Greg earlier to help me with my drawings and visual concepts. When I first started out I hired an architect to do this for me so the builder knew immediately what was required. The architect was a complete waste of time not listening to the brief or budget or visually demonstrating what the finished concept might look like. When I met Greg within 24-48hrs he amended my drawings to exactly what I wanted and more importantly suggested realistic ideas to make it even better!! I cannot recommend him highly enough, thoroughly nice chap with a trustworthy team. Matt Straker, Botley

Hired John to do our single story extension. Nothing is too much trouble and his attention to detail was superb. His work is top quality and whoever hires John won't be disappointed. Top tip though get plenty of teabags in.

Painting & Decorating- 12 Apr 2024
Good job and pleasant people, easy to get one with. Done panelling on the wall really nice too. Some bits of paint unfinished (maybe forgotten about) and some slight touching up needing at parts. But all in all good for the price paid!
