Hiring builders: what to know
Local builders and construction companies undertake house extensions, loft conversions, garage conversions, new builds, structural alterations, and full property renovations. Many project-manage the full build — coordinating subcontractors including plumbers, electricians, and plasterers — and can obtain Building Regulations approval on your behalf.
What to check before hiring
For any structural work, never pay more than 25-30% upfront — agree a staged payment schedule tied to project milestones and get everything in writing before work begins. Check whether the builder is a member of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) or holds equivalent vetting, and confirm they carry current public liability and employers' liability insurance.
