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.

Bricklaying- 17 Dec 2022
I am absolutely delighted with the work Luke and his brother have done. I found them through this site and have been really impressed by them from the original quote to finishing the work. This was a trick job rebuilding a section of garden wall, matching brickwork to the original wall. They listened to what we wanted, gave some great advise and kept us updated when weather conditions meant a short delay. They took great care with the garden area surrounding the wall and left everything tidy. Quality workmanship from genuinely nice people. They will be my first point of contact for any building needs in future.

Extensions- 10 Feb 2016
Absolutely first class Had Richard round to knock down a rubbish extension that came with a house I bought, and rebuild a wall to accommodate a new living room window. He worked all weekend to get the job done - including Sunday morning in sub-zero temperatures, which is pretty commendable. His work was signed off by the local council's building inspector, and even an amateur like me could tell that it was neat, solid and high quality. I've since had him back to fix my roof. Honest, reasonably priced, straight-forward, solid builder. I'd highly recommend him for pretty much any job, and will likely have him back for further work.

Extensions- 29 Sep 2024
Outstanding!!! If you want professional, honest and hardworking builders - look no further. We can't rate Franklin and McKenna highly enough. The level of communication was high, right from the start they always kept us informed and updated regarding, when they were coming, materials etc. They always turned up when they said they would. We felt they went above and beyond - sourcing high quality materials and other trades, at reasonable and sensible prices. They only purchased enough materials required for the job - hence not wasting our money on materials that were not used. We are so pleased we found them - so much so that, they are coming back to do further building work for us. We have already highly recommended them to others and will continue to do so. We can honestly say that they NEVER Let us down and feel they are excellent value for money.

Extensions- 29 Jun 2019
Brian and his men did an absolute marvellous job. Everyone comments in a very positive way of how the brickwork blends in with the existing house, and that it looks as if its always been there. Despite the fact that quite some additional work was asked for by me and the job in the end included fitting a new kitchen and remodelling the garden, including building a sturdy brick shed and also a lovely patio area, Brian kept very much to the timeline agreed (had been revised after the extra work was asked for). He also was extremely supportive with really good ideas and also implementing our wilder ones. When pretty near the start of the work it became clear to us all that due to shoddy prior workmanship (before we even moved into this house) he and his men would have quite a difficult extra workload, involving additional hard work, he sat us down and explained, and otherwise stayed very much to the quote given and agreed. We would use Plastermaster again, and can only - and in fact have done so already a few times - recommend Brian and his men. All in all it was a positive experience.

I am very pleased with the work Steve has completed, he's a very experienced builder, who I have no trouble in recommending. During the build he was conscientious, polite and a helpful. Having discovered him, I will be using him for all my future building work. Note to any prospective clients, he takes 2 sugars in his tea.
