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 May 2018
I hired Ryan and his team and I am very happy I did. They worked with me to get my extension brickwork complete while also providing advice when sourcing materials for the job. They are a good bunch, who like a bit of banter! ;-). The work was of excellent quality, went up quickly and received good comments from the building inspector. Came back to finish off items after I had sorted roof. Even gave me a hand with my sky light windows; although I did reward them with ice lollies afterward. I highly recommend them and have gladly given permission to be used as reference to his future customers. For those of you who are anal like me; they cleaned up after themselves and kept the place as tidy as possible. They we punctual and arrived on the days agreed, they where respectful towards me and my family while on site. Only negative; everyone gets called buddy. ;-)

In 2014 Gary removed an internal wall, created a wide opening in another wall and installed a complete kitchen. This involved plumbing and electrical work. In 2017 Gary removed my old bathroom suite and installed a new one for me. I have been highly satisfied with both jobs. The work did not exceed the amount quoted and Gary's finish and attention to detail is exceptional. Gary treated my home and my pets with care and respect and I did not feel at all uncomfortable knowing he was in my home on occasion that I was unable to be there. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Gary.

Rob and his colleagues have done a fantastic job within budget. Rob kept in touch, making helpful suggestions and giving me great confidence as he was working on my house in Burton but I was still living in Somerset. He is trustworthy and a good craftsman and I have no hesitation in recommending him for both building and garden work. Kate.

Extensions- 7 Apr 2025
Quotes were provided and the job was agreed upon. The project involved a full house restructuring and extension build. However, after several stages of work, communication with Jas was lost, and his co-worker took the lead on site. Several issues arose, such as recommending smart plumbing equipment for purchase, but their plumbers were unable to install it. The tiling, skirtings, and tiles were not completed. Tiles around the columns were cracked. After Jas's team abandoned the project, another plumber had to install all the remaining items. The job was left unfinished, and we had to find alternative contractors to complete it. Significant time and money were wasted due to persistent communication problems, failure to issue invoices, and numerous other issues. Eventually, Jas and his main labourer stopped responding and disappeared, ignoring phone calls and WhatsApp messages. Be aware of these potential issues.
