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.

Conversions - General- 17 Mar 2019
Elliott has to be the best decorator/ builder I have used. On time with works and no lies or excuses!!! After posting my job he call me within 30 minutes to arrange a visit. This was the following day. When Elliott arrived he understood my requirements and saw my ideas and advised when he thought from his experience, would work better. He was very polite and professional. I needed the work done within 2 weeks due to carpet being laid. He completed the works within 7 working days. The works involved, Removing a wall, Removing all woodwork, Boxing out pipes, Plastering, New coving, New skirting, New architrave 2 doors, Building an under stair shelving unit, Moving a socket, sky cables, internet box, Removing radiator, Painting of all new plastered walls ceiling and woodwork to my chosen colours. I was even able to get him to squeeze in some additional works. This was creating shelves in my airing cupboard upstairs and boxing out pipes in my hallway. Elliott’s communication throughout the works was great. Even if he was unable to get round my house he would let me know at his earliest opportunity. Very very tidy during works. I have a 3 year old and Elliott made sure it was left safe every night. The finished works are to a high standard and he even popped back to do a bit off snagging on a Saturday morning. When I say snagging it was a few paint marks, re-laying my old carpet and dropping my keys off. I will be using Elliott in the future.

Extensions- 3 Aug 2019
This was a project where I wanted to improve a house for my daughter's first home and where I had to do this on a budget, but as nicely as possible. Dave did a great job on my small terraced kitchen/dining room extension where it was a tricky job due to space restrictions. Dave quoted a good price based on the fact that as a small house, it is only worth spending what you will make in equity on the property, or thereabouts and therefore the cost of improvements have to be proportionate. Quote was accurate and minimal extras fully accounted for re: additional electrical work and a roof light that I requested. Dave was able to recommend other tradesmen to support the finished job (i.e. bathroom) and I was able to negotiate with them independently. Dave was available on the phone and kept me informed on a regular basis as I was out of area. All in all very happy with the professional job completed by Dave and would recommend his friendly, professional approach from supporting initial plans and building regs. to final building regs. and to completion. Many thanks Penny Stony Stratford Buckinghamshire

Extensions- 14 May 2019
We engaged Civenco following a three way quote in which they were clearly competitive. What impressed us most was the professionalism and approachability of John and his team. When it came to the job itself they were timely, very competent and helpful throughout. They rectified minor snags quickly and were a pleasure to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Carl was very professional and friendly from start to finish. We needed the job doing fairly quickly and Carl did just that...responded to the ad very quickly,he came to price up on a Sunday afternoon and it was completed on the following Wednesday. The price was very reasonable and we were happy to go ahead. He was helpful, knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble and he cleaned up afterwards. The job was completed to a high standard and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend or call him back for any other work we may need in the future. Great job Carl!

Kitchen Fitting- 10 Mar 2013
Adrian and his team provided an excellent all round service from quote to completion. Great value for money was accompanied by a marvellously skilled job completed with minimum fuss in very good time. The quoting process was very helpful as Adrian both suggested areas where work could be done differently as well as areas that maybe weren’t necessary to achieve the best possible end result. This enabled a clearer picture from the outset accompanying his detailed quote. The work was started soon after acceptance and deliveries (new kitchen) received and signed for which was enormously helpful. We were regularly updated on his progress and jobs outside the scope of the quote highlighted for our agreement as they went along. The finished result is excellent and I would recommend Adrian and his team at Start2Finish to anyone requiring building work in the South West. Our conclusions were- great value, honest, accomplished, excellent communication throughout, fantastic finish and helpful throughout the process.

Antony is a good worker, reliable and tidy. He has dug and laid the foundations for a few conservatories for me, then done the brickwork when building them up. He is a great lad, and I will definitely get him back to do more work for me.
