Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do you handle the full project or do you sub-contract the work out?
We manage the entire project ourselves and where specialist trades are required, such as Gas Safe plumbing or Part P electrical work, we bring in trusted, approved contractors who work alongside us directly. You deal with us from start to finish, there is no “handoff” to a third party.
-
How do you price a job and when do I pay?
We provide a detailed, itemised quote before any work begins, clearly setting out what is included and at what cost. Payment is typically split into agreed stages throughout the project rather than one lump sum at the end, so you always know where you stand.
-
Do you handle planning permission and building regulations?
We have a thorough understanding of building regulations and local planning requirements, and we are happy to advise on what your project will and will not need. We can guide you through the process so nothing is missed before work gets underway.
-
How long will my project take?
Every project is different, so timescales depend entirely on the scope and complexity of the work involved. We will give you a realistic timeframe as part of your initial quote, and we keep you updated throughout so you always know what to expect and when.
-
Can you take over a project a previous builder has left unfinished?
Yes, and this is something we are asked to do regularly. We will assess the existing work honestly, explain what needs to be corrected or completed, and provide a clear quote for getting the project back on track.
-
Do you work all year round?
Yes. We take on projects throughout the year, including through the winter months. Some external works such as rendering or paving may be subject to weather conditions, but we will always plan around this and keep you informed if it affects your schedule.
-
Are you accredited?
Yes. We are accredited members of the Federation of Master Builders and are also listed on MyBuilder. These are independently verified accreditations, meaning we have been assessed against recognised industry standards -not just self-declared.
-
Do I need an architect before contacting a builder?
Not always. For smaller projects such as bathroom refits, kitchen installations or internal alterations, an architect is rarely needed. For larger works such as extensions or structural changes, we can advise whether architectural drawings or structural engineer input will be required and point you in the right direction.
-
Can you carry out work on listed buildings?
Yes. We have experience working on listed buildings and understand the additional care, materials and permissions that this type of work requires. If you are unsure whether your property is listed or what restrictions apply, we are happy to talk it through with you.
-
What’s the difference between building regulations and planning permission?
Planning permission is required when you want to change the use, size or appearance of a building or land. Building regulations approval is separate and ensures the actual construction work meets safety and structural standards. Some projects need both, some need only one, and some permitted development work needs neither. We will help you understand which applies to your project.
-
How do I get started?
