Services on offer
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.
Qualifications and accreditations to look for
The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) is the UK's largest trade association for small and medium-sized builders - FMB members are vetted, insured, and must pass an independent inspection before being admitted. For structural work such as extensions or loft conversions, Building Regulations approval is required by law - a reputable builder will obtain the necessary permissions and arrange building control inspections as part of the project.
