    Featured Reviews for Builders in Canterbury, Kent

    AJ Construction Essex Ltd
    Builders in Canterbury, Kent
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 March 2024
    “Very pleased with my extension! Reliable, friendly and efficient guys and we can’t fault the finish of the work.”
    I D Smith Construction Services Ltd
    Builders in Canterbury, Kent
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 May 2021
    “We cannot speak highly enough of I D Smith Construction Services. We instructed them to fully refurbish our 1930s semi with the addition of a single storey extension. The project included new external render, full rewire, replumb, fresh plastering, new roof, bespoke carpentry, new gravel driveway, new kitchen and new bathrooms amongst many other items. There's not much these guys can't turn their hands to. We found Ian and his team a pleasure to deal with. They were reliable and trustworthy and most importantly delivered an excellent finish throughout. As is inevitable with major building work we did incur additional, unforeseen costs but these were reasonable and proportionate and Ian kept us informed throughout. What we loved in particular was Ian's ability to find solutions to any problems we encountered. His calmness throughout the project helped keep our stress levels down. We hope to work with Ian, Kieron, Phil and Stuart again in the future (possibly a patio) once we have saved up! Highly recommended.”
    Pink and Black Ltd
    Builders in Canterbury, Kent
    Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars16 December 2016
    “A double storey extension comprised of a large double ensuite bedroom with two pairs of French doors, each opening onto a cantilevered balcony; tiled utility area with toilet and an ensuite shower added to an existing bedroom. Roof was tiled with Kent pegs to match existing. Extension was painted, inside and out. The exterior walls and windows of the main house were also painted to match and any repairs were carried out. Pink and Black provided a bespoke service and sourced many of the unique features that complemented the new space. In addition, Pink and Black were also very patient with last minute change of plans. I decided not to move out of the house whilst the work was carried out. The friendliness and respectfulness of all the guys involved in the building processs helped to make the situation of builders in the house less invasive, in fact I missed them when they finally left.”
    Sprinks Construction Ltd
    Builders in Canterbury, Kent
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 January 2019
    “We have employed Sprinks for close to 10 years for various refurbishment projects culminating in the building of an indoor pool. They are completely professional with the drive to resolve difficult issues, their staff are polite and effective and I would recommend Adam Petley and his team to anyone.”
    Brown Construction Group
    Builders in Canterbury, Kent
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 January 2021
    “We were recommended to Brown Construction by Woods of London in Blackheath whilst looking for our kitchen for our project. Once we had met Adam and were reassured by him that we could achieve what we wanted for our project (having been advised by other builders that we were unable to do so). We knew that Brown Construction were the best people to proceed with, they were easy to deal with and always offered good advise in all areas. Our project was managed brilliantly by James, the whole team were fabulous they left site every day and it was clean and tidy we couldn’t have been happier. We have since recommended Browns to a number of friends and colleagues.”
    Teamwork Tenterden
    Builders in Canterbury, Kent
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 September 2016
    “We have had previous work done by Teamwork Tenterden. Recently had a roof leak repaired by them after a heavy rainfall on another part of the roof and very pleased with the quality and professionalism. Very satisfied with the result and would not hesitate to recommend them.”
    Northlon Ltd
    Builders in Canterbury, Kent
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 December 2021
    “Northlon transformed our dark, grubby wet-room into a clean, bright fully fitted bathroom, including bath, shower, screen, basin and toilet with floor to ceiling ceramic tiles. The standard of work was exceptional. The price was real value for money - we are so happy with our new bathroom. We would recommend Northlon without hesitation.”

    Builder FAQs
    There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Canterbury:
    1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
    2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
    3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

    For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

    Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
    If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.

    When looking for a Canterbury building company to take on your project, you will want to know that they will be able to handle the job in good time and sticking to your agreed budget. A professional contractor will have worked on projects like yours previously and they will know exactly what to do.

    Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Canterbury that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way. If you can, you could try to see previous projects and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects. All of which you can find on Houzz.
