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.

Landscaping- 14 Nov 2020
All work was done on time and the garden left tidy with no mess anywhere. Finished article looks great and was exactly what we asked for. Tom helped organise a skip as well as sourcing the top soil needed and saved us a few quid there. Now... just to stop the dog from pissing all over the grass!

Extensions- 23 Feb 2020
We have enjoyed a very good experience in having Cahill Builders construct our splendid new porch extension including shower and wc room and cloakroom. Sean is an excellent builder and in particular went that extra mile to ensure we were consulted and involved in all the decision making that had to occur. His co-worker Russell was also hard working and courteous throughout some atrocious winter weather conditions. We would have no hesitation in recommending Cahill builders and wish them well in future projects.

Extensions- 22 Oct 2019
Lee called me to explain that I will need to make sure I have the correct planning permission (no existing clauses) for the addition to the already existing extension. I am really glad he gave me the advise so to not waste anyone’s time and money including my own. Really thoughtful and welcomed advise, thanks.

Ievgen and his amazing work mate were hard working from start to finish. Despite having problems with his van, they arrived early on a bike and worked solidly throughout the process of my shower install, and removed all the rubbish including some other bits I had. Prob look to hire these guys again.. Thank you Ievgen!

Extensions- 21 Jan 2023
I engaged Mick to build a single storey 500 sq ft extension in early 2022, having received several quotations through Mybuilder. The project proceeded well and was completed as per the agreed specification. The site was organised, kept tidy and the quality of his workmanship was outstanding. He is easy to get along with and communicates well. I have no trouble in recommending him for similar projects. I am very pleased with the outcome.

Carpentry- 13 Feb 2020
I would highly recommend Pete, he has done a brilliant job, building the stud wall, insulated and plasters it bringing warmth into what was a cold bedroom. It was always cold and damp which was why it always closed off with a curtain up at the door. Now it is warm. We didn’t even know he was here, he just carried on with the job he had to do which is perfect, we can already feel the difference. Again I would highly recommend.

Landscaping- 27 Feb 2021
Gary and his team cut corners from the beginning. A job that was quoted to take 4-6 weeks ended up taking around 14 weeks and even then was not completed by gary and his team due to him walking off the job. They used substandard materials which meant things needed replaced before the job had even finished. Overall the “finishing touches” for the job were absolutely horrendous. A child’s playhouse had nails sticking out of the wood. The nails in the fence had all rusted, the lawn wasn’t laid correct so couldn’t drain. The level on extension was completely wrong. Gary himself was quite rude and Him and his team were extremely unreliable. 100% would not recommend, save your time, money and sanity

Single storey rear kitchen extension - really pleased with the new kitchen. Yuri and his men built the extension and did all of the ground work too and then fitted the kitchen for me. As my existing kitchen plus the new kitchen extension together, is a very unusual shape, the fitting of the new units and appliances would have stumped most builders or kitchen fitters and I know that it was a very difficult job but Yuri fitted everything really well and kept his sense of humour at the same time.
