Featured Reviews for Builders in London

TOMYC CONSTRUCTION limited
Builders in London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 August 2022
“Tomyc C. has done a wonderful work! I’m so satisfied, my home seems much better and new. They did bathroom refurbishment and kitchen, flooring, painting and decorating. They also did some works in my garden. The result is such a great result! They are so professional and I do recommend it for price, quality and excellent job made. I’m so happy and I’ll call them again for any other work I need for my house!”
Homeconcepts
Builders in London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 November 2015
“I have undertaken many projects, and Homeconcepts is the one company that I can honestly say was a joy to work with. They have the winning combination of highly professional management and a superb building team. No need for ‘snag lists; there are none. I am hoping to do a complete renovation next year and would not dream of looking anywhere else. Alan Bowie, East Molesey.”
J S Legacy
Builders in London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 March 2024
“We have worked with J S Legacy on several projects in recent years and would be happy to recommend their services. We have been impressed by their attention to detail and the passion with which they approach each project. They have been a pleasure to work with and we believe that they offer a high quality service to their clients.”
MODEL Projects Ltd
Builders in London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 January 2014
“Model Projects were a delight, from the initial brief with James who immediately took my requirements and turned them into a fantastic design - spot on first time with no amendments necessary. Kathryn then took over on a day to day basis as project manager and I cannot praise her highly enough. Dealing with the local authority, building control, structural engineers and the many contractors was done with calm and determination and I now have my dream space.”
Stenmax ltd
Builders in London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 August 2024
“We have worked with Stenmax for many years. They are reliable, have a 'can do' attitude and always come up with solutions. They are good at communicating and have a highly skilled in house team... We would highly recommend! Www.peekarchitecture.co.uk”
The Market Design & Build
Builders in London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 October 2016
“The Market Design and Build has just finished a big project for us and we couldn’t be happier. The property is an old converted barn so the challenge was huge. Obviously there were some set backs but the communication in between us (property owners) and The Market was excellent so problems were solved quickly. These guys are not here to screw you over. Before signing the contract they guaranteed us that they wouldn’t leave the project until we were 100% happy.. And they didn’t! We are sure to use The Market again if we need more work done on a property in the future.”
Red Box
Builders in London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 April 2018
“Front of house over two floors was decorated. Newly laid york stone and railings were protected well. Professional work, tidy and clean, polite staff. Will use them again.”
Pencil and Brick
Builders in London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 June 2017
“To set the scene : we are mid-way through construction, to renovate & extend of our Victorian terrace in East London. We've had Seán and Stephen Ltd as our architects for 18 months so far. My wife and I are complete novices to design & construction, and Seán and Stephen have expertly and supportively guided us through each stage, enabling us to really enjoy every part of creating our new home. I would happily recommend this professional practice to family and friends. They were great at helping to bring some of our own design preferences to life using plans, 3D models, and interactive virtual room design tools. But they also have challenged our thinking too, leading us to add in a number of amazing and creative features that we would never otherwise have considered. Seán and Stephen created an extremely thorough and professional Design & Access Statement to help explain our project to the local planners. As a direct result of the quality of S&S’s planning pack our application (which proposed various potentially contentious items such as a basement, lightwell, and dormer) was approved without a single significant amendment. Since the contractor began the works Seán and Stephen have project managed every aspect of the construction programme, providing us with detailed weekly updates and explaining everything to us in layman’s terms. They consistently fight our corner with the contractor on a number of technical and cost-related issues which gives us real confidence that the project is in safe hands. So far we have enjoyed a stress-free project thanks to their project management skills”
Jenkins Projects Ltd
Builders in London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 July 2023
“A fantastic outfit. Very reliable, great attention to detail and flexible throughout the whole process. A breath of fresh air. We had a full loft conversion and a side return over the course of 9 months. Faultless. Dan Jenkins is friendly and professional and has a lovely team of young, hardworking and polite workmen.”
Big Bean Construction ltd
Builders in London
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 February 2016
“We have worked with Big Bean on many projects and we find them to be very professional, hard working and good value for money. Their work is finished to a high standard and they make sure that the small details are adjusted to perfection, making us and the client very happy! I would not hesitate to recommend them.”

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

After choosing either option, you can reach out to the builders you want to discuss your project with. You can request and compare quotes before hiring the right builder for you.
When looking for a London 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 London 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.
