Boiler Installation
From a like-for-like combi swap to a full system conversion, BestBuilders matches you with vetted local heating engineers.

Solar Installation
Solar panels are the highest-ROI home energy upgrade in 2026 โ typically paying back in 6 to 10 years, with 25-year panel warranties as standard. BestBuilders connects you with vetted solar installers who handle design, DNO approval, installation, and G99 commissioning.

Loft Conversions
A loft conversion adds a full room โ typically a bedroom with en-suite โ without using any garden space.

BestBuilders matches you with loft specialists who know your roof type, local planning rules and party wall requirements.
Kitchen Renovations
A kitchen renovation ranges from a straightforward unit swap to a full structural remodel with a new layout. BestBuilders matches you with kitchen fitters who handle everything โ removal, plumbing, electrics, tiling, worktops and fitting โ for any budget or specification.
General builders
Plastering, rendering, repointing, damp, chimneys, structural work and flooring — the fabric jobs that keep a house standing, priced for 2026 across 519 UK towns.
Driveways
A new driveway improves kerb appeal, adds off-street parking and can increase property value. BestBuilders connects you with driveway contractors who specialise in your surface type, understand SuDS (sustainable drainage) regulations and deliver lasting results.
Plumbing
From a leaking tap at 11pm to a full bathroom plumbing install or boiler replacement โ BestBuilders matches you with vetted local plumbers. Gas work must legally be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer — ask to see the card. Emergency response across most areas within 1โ3 hours.

Transform your single, double or detached garage into a home office, gym, annexe or extra bedroom โ typically adds 10โ15% to property value. BestBuilders matches you with vetted specialists who handle Building Regulations sign-off, structural calculations and full insulation upgrade as standard.

Electrical Work
Whether it's a fuseboard upgrade, a 7kW EV charger install, or a full rewire on a Victorian terrace โ BestBuilders matches you with vetted local electricians — ask for their NICEIC, ECA or NAPIT registration before work starts. Part P self-certified, so no separate Building Control fees on most jobs.
EV Charger Installation
Home EV charger installation by vetted local installers โ with full DNO notification handled for you. From a basic 7kW unit to three-phase 22kW or solar-linked PV-aware chargers (Zappi, Wallbox, Pod Point, Hypervolt), get matched with vetted local specialists.

Every Specialist is Vetted Before You See Them
It doesn't matter whether you're getting quotes for a kitchen or a full loft conversion โ every builder in our network is vetted before they can appear on the platform.
We vet builders before they join, and we act on how they perform afterwards โ builders who let homeowners down are removed. What we cannot do is check every traderโs insurance and trade certification for you, so treat those as your checks: ask to see current public liability cover and any scheme membership before work starts.
