Featured Reviews for Builders in Leicester, Leicestershire

SKM Architects Ltd
Builders in Leicester, Leicestershire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 June 2019
“The SKM Design team were meticulous, they stayed in constant contact during the entire project, we were always informed on specifics while the project was underway, they met the project time scale. SKM architects has a reliable and highly qualified team, who were able to explain everything through every stage of the project. At no time did we feel dissatisfied or in-the-dark. The entire project from the initial discussion of the project to the very end was smooth.”
GEC Luxury Design & Build
Builders in Leicester, Leicestershire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 November 2016
“Last year we employed GE Construction Ltd to build a kitchen extension and patio area, and I must say we are delighted with the end result. Gary Earp wasn’t known to us before we employed him and from his very first visit it was very obvious to us that he was very professional, had very high standards and high expectations from his team. We discussed our plans in depth and everything went like clockwork under Gary’s supervision. We were initially worried about having a team of tradesmen around the house for three months however it was no problem at all. The team arrived promptly at 8.00 am every day and left at 4.30 pm leaving everywhere clean and tidy. There was no smoking on site and no bad language. His team were very polite, considerate and conscientious taking great pride in their work. Gary was always around and was happy to help with any queries that we had and to advise us on any issues that arose during the project. Since the extension was completed Gary has been back to check that everything is o.k and for piece of mind we know he is only a phone call away. I don’t think we could have chosen a better company than GE Construction Ltd to build our new kitchen and we would have no hesitation in recommending the company to others. Thank you Gary and all your team for everything you have done for us.”
The Practical Planning Company Ltd
Builders in Leicester, Leicestershire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 May 2021
“Can’t recommend Ben and Practical Planning Company enough. Nothing was every too much trouble and he went over and beyond for us. So professional, so friendly and the smoothest process ever. Ben is clearly very passionate about his work and we thoroughly enjoyed working with him.”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Leicester:
  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.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Leicester 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.
