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.

George Herkes visited us the day after contact and quoted a very reasonable price for our loft hatch & ladder replacement. We arranged a mutually suitable day for the work to be done and that was adhered to. He bought all the wood and ladders (included in the quote) and the job was completed in one day to our total satisfaction. All old wood was removed by him and he tided up when the job was done. We would highly recommend this firm and we will certainly use them again.

Bathroom Fitting- 9 Apr 2018
We opted to contract out the renovation of our bathroom and after meeting a few different builders went for Nick and his team. Despite being new to the site and having no feedback he had genuine reasons for this (operating on referrals and now looking to expand) and while not the cheapest, priced the job fairly with itemised details of the work to be carried out which we appreciated Due to a delay initially on our part and then his due to taking another bigger job in the interim which was delayed due to weather the work was fragmented over a few weeks rather than the initial quoted week and did exceed initial quoted working time although we were clear upfront there was no immediate time pressure and therefore need to rush so this didn't impact us greatly. Nick and his dad carried out all general building, tiling and basic electrical work while Plumbing/Electrics and Plastering were subcontracted. General standard of workmanship was high, we had a couple of snags as always with a bigger project which were complicated somewhat by us not being on site and having to communicate via phone although everything was resolved to our satisfaction and Nick was considerate of our lists of demands. Another point worth noting is Nick and his team were very tidy with rubbish either taken out immediately or stored in bags leaving minimal/no mess behind. Will be asking him to quote on future work and happy to have found and added him to our growing trade contact book.

Bathroom Fitting- 13 Oct 2015
Reece and his father did a great job in our bathroom and he was a real pleasure to deal with . He went above and beyond the role as he had to order and collect a bath end panel as he suggested it would be a better match from the one I had selected . He was correct in this. He is he first builder I have ever known to suggest an improvement, source it and collect it as part of the job !! I would thoroughly recommend him. :)

Plastering- 27 Jan 2021
Feel my errors of not getting quote in writing and paying early has resulted in him wanting more money. Left plaster waste at flat and tried to dispose of in communal bins. Resulting in a fine at the residence. Good plasterer and very nice, just ensure that quote is in writing

Steve Scarrot built my double extension and I can honestly say, wow what a great job. I can’t say a bad word about it. Steves workmanship and knowledge on the building game is second to non. His hard work and dedication to work is first class. He was prompt, never late and did exactly what he said he was going to do. His quality of work was exceptional and he never tried to cut any corners he was first class all the way. An absolute professional and a credit to the industry and I’d happily have him work for me again.
