Featured Reviews for Builders in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire

Bespoke Joinery & Building/ Nottingham
Builders in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 November 2025
“An excellent job! Our wooden lean to greenhouse is pre First World War and although it has been ‘refurbished ‘ over the last years 50 years it is a bit out of line. Bespoke Joinery took on the task of making a new door for it. The door was made to our specifications and matches the rest of the green house. The fitting must have challenged their joinery skills We are impressed with the quality of the door and are delighted with it. I can feel a little smile coming on my face when I look down the garden.”
SKM Architects Ltd
Builders in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 June 2023
“The team at SKM (Sanjay in particular) have worked with us from the outset to convert a 1920s house that had not been updated since the 1960s into our dream home comprising of a traditional look and feel at the front to a more modern contemporary look at the rear. This was a full renovation, back to the bricks with only 2 original walls that were untouched. From the beginning, Sanjay was here on-site giving suggestions and guidance to our project and despite the numerous adjustments we made along the way, the amendments to the final plans were made quickly and efficiently. Despite covid and the lockdowns, our full renovation project gained momentum and the team at SKM was always at hand to support our builder with design queries and also the building regs team at the end of the project for the final sign-off. We could not be happier with the service we received from SKM and I would thoroughly recommend that you at least reach out to SKM for any of your future building projects.”
The Practical Planning Company Ltd
Builders in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 March 2022
“I came across Practical Planning on Facebook in July 2021. We had our initial consultation middle of August, first designs by end of August and with as many changes as we needed, we were putting in Planning permission by end October! Build started in January 2022 and will be finished by early May! Such a swift and efficient process if you want it to move quickly as we did. Ben puts you and your ideas first and is there at the end of the phone when you have any questions. He also took us through the planning stages and still available to advise builders if needed. The price is so, so competitive in the architectural world, but there is no compromise on service and design quality. Aside from all the technical knowledge, Ben is professional, polite and very easy to talk to, especially when you are new to a build project. I recommend him to everyone I speak to who mentions they are thinking of renovation/extension works.”

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.
