Hiring a builder: what to check

Builders take on extensions, renovations, structural alterations, repairs and new builds, often managing other trades on the job.

  • Find out whether your project needs planning permission or Building Regulations approval, and who will apply for it.
  • Get a written quote and a contract that sets out the work, the price, the timescale and stage payments. Avoid paying large sums up front.
  • Ask to see recent similar work, and check the builder has public liability insurance.
