Types of building work

- Renovations and structural alterations
- New builds, from a single home to small developments
- Project management of other trades
Hiring a builder
Get at least three written quotes for the same specification. Agree a written contract with a schedule of staged payments rather than paying a large sum upfront, and check the builder’s insurance.
Most structural work needs building regulations approval, and some needs planning permission or a party wall agreement with your neighbours. Confirm who is responsible for each before work begins.
Choosing builders and contractors
Common questions about searching, comparing and getting in touch.
How do I find builders and contractors near me?
Enter a town, city or the first part of your postcode in the search box to see providers covering that area. We are adding businesses to each directory, so if there are none near you yet, our guides explain what to look for when choosing one.
How should I compare providers?
Look at the services each one specialises in, check any professional registration that applies, and read independent reviews. Then contact two or three directly and compare their answers, fees and how quickly they respond.
Does it cost anything to use the directory?
No. Searching and contacting businesses is free. Any fees are agreed directly between you and the provider you choose.
