GVT

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 November 2023
“One of the biggest issue when having to rely on or work with contractors is their ability, or lack thereof, to communicate. Working with GVT has been a real joy because they communicate very well and they work to an agreed standard and timeline. They are a honest and efficient bunch. I happily recommend their services!”

“This company completed loft conversion work in my house. Throughout, they were professional, considerate, punctual, tidy and patient. In addition, all the work was satisfactorily completed well within the original timescale I was given.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 June 2016
“This building firm is really down to earth. Their projects have been amazing and they not only provide service but they disperse really useful advise such as when we showed them our draft drawings, they suggested improvements which was great as now we have a set of drawings which are amazing especially suggesting interior design features that woud have been harder to implement later on and probably added to the cost, They are also great at purchasing and will get the best deals for you. very easy to talk to and I am looking forward to working with them when our house is being built. From Dinta and Niraj”
Brown Construction Group
Find Local Builders in 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.”

“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.”
IDL Contractors Ltd
Find Local Builders in Kent
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 June 2018
“I have used Lubo (IDL contractors), on several occasions including a complete bathroom refit, to decorate a bedroom and living room, and to give the kitchen a facelift. On each occasion I've been very satisfied with the quality of the work done, the value for money, and the accuracy of the timescale given. I had originally planned to just do a few bits to the bathroom but was given such a reasonable quote to do the whole thing, I went with that option instead. Lubo is also very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, even giving me a photo album documenting the bathroom job step-by-step at the end! Overall, I'd highly recommend IDL contractors (all the people sent to work on the flat were of a high standard), if you want to deal with a company that is honest, knowledgeable, reliable and reasonable.”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Kent:
  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.
You can find a local builder in Kent with Houzz in two ways:

  1. Answer a few questions about your project to get matched with a local professional for free. Enter your postcode above to get started.

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 Kent 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 Kent 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, recommendations and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects. All of which you can find on Houzz.
