Finding a Builder
The builder you choose will be spending several weeks, or even months, working in your home. You need to be confident both in the builders ability to do the work, and that you will have a good working relationship with him. Most of us try to find a builder for building projects like an extension to our house or repairs and improvements, by looking in the local papers under builders and tradesmen. A better way is to ask family and friends know a good builder. This is 'a referral'. Some use a directory like 'Yell dot com' or other online 'find a builder' directories.
Although you can do an internet search for builders etc., you have no idea of the quality of the builders you see listed.
We starting this website by listing builders I have used myself and showing the local areas they cover. We will also list other builders, plumbers and electricians to give as much useful information as possible to our visitors including this like builders merchants.
Please feel free to email with your own experience of builders and we will happily add to our builders database.
Note: We can only voice our opinion of the builders listed on this site. If it says 'this builder is recommended' this is our personal opinion of the building work they did for us. We offer no guarantees that your building experience will be the same.
We also recommend you locate a good builders merchant such as Wicks DIY stores. Wicks have online DIY stores nowadays and ordering online is very easy from Wicks. Choosing a Wick kitchen or Wicks conservatory is a great way of saving money and the chances are that tour builder will have a Wicks account and can get you a disount.
