London Builder FAQs

Expect day rates of ยฃ150โ€“ยฃ320 in London by trade. Project-level, the local ranges are ยฃ33,000โ€“ยฃ67,000 for a single-storey extension, kitchens from ยฃ10,000, bathrooms from ยฃ5,000 and dormer lofts from ยฃ47,000. London pricing applies, so always benchmark with three written quotes.
Many home extensions in London fall under Permitted Development rights, meaning a full planning application is not required. You will still need consent if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the extension exceeds PD size limits. The local planning authority confirms either way, and most builders advise on it during quoting.
First quotes usually arrive within 24โ€“48 hours. London is covered by 120 vetted trades on our books, plus firms travelling in from Walthamstow and Wimbledon, so start dates of 2โ€“8 weeks are typical.
They are. Vetting happens before a firm can join: ยฃ2m minimum public liability insurance, trade qualifications, company registration and a minimum of 5 verified reviews. Across London our 120 listed trades average 4.6/5 from homeowner ratings, and we delist for sustained negative feedback.
Off-season (autumn/winter) usually gets London homeowners better prices and faster starts; spring and summer are the busy months across London and lead times stretch. If your job is outdoors โ€” roofing, driveways, landscaping โ€” booking it for the quieter months can cut the quote noticeably.
