Our 12 Core Building Services
We cover the most common home improvement projects in the UK. Click any service to find vetted specialists in your town, see local costs, and get free quotes.
House Extensions
A house extension is the most impactful way to add space and value to your home without moving. BestBuilders connects you with extension specialists who understand UK planning rules, building regulations and the structural demands of extending a terraced, semi-detached or detached property.
Loft Conversions
A loft conversion adds a full room — typically a bedroom with en-suite — without using any garden space. It's one of the best-value home improvements available to UK homeowners, with strong ROI in most property markets. 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 — removal, plumbing, electrics, tiling, worktops and fitting — for any budget or specification.
Bathroom Renovations
Bathroom renovations consistently deliver strong returns on investment and improve daily quality of life. BestBuilders connects you with bathroom specialists who manage the full project — including plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, electrics and fitting — to any specification from budget to luxury.
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.
Roofing
From a targeted repair to a full roof replacement, BestBuilders connects you with NFRC-registered roofing specialists who work on pitched and flat roofs. Get quotes for repairs, replacements and new flat roof systems — with proper scaffolding, materials and workmanship guarantees.
Solar Installation
Solar panels are the highest-ROI home energy upgrade in 2026 — typically paying back in 6 to 10 years, with 25-year panel warranties as standard. BestBuilders connects you with MCS-accredited solar installers who handle design, DNO approval, installation, and G99 commissioning. Optional battery storage lets you use solar energy after dark and sell surplus back to the grid under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
Plumbing
From a leaking tap at 11pm to a full bathroom plumbing install or boiler replacement — BestBuilders matches you with CIPHE/APHC-verified plumbers and Gas Safe registered engineers. Emergency response across most areas within 1–3 hours.
Electrical Work
Whether it's a fuseboard upgrade, a 7kW EV charger install, or a full rewire on a Victorian terrace — BestBuilders matches you with NICEIC, ECA or NAPIT-registered electricians. Part P self-certified, so no separate Building Control fees on most jobs.
Painting & Decorating
From a single feature wall to a full house repaint or exterior render scheme — BestBuilders connects you with PDA-accredited and Dulux Select decorators using trade-grade paints (Dulux Trade, Johnstone's Trade, Crown Trade) for a finish that lasts.
Carpentry & Joinery
Hanging a single door, fitting bespoke wardrobes, or replacing an entire staircase — BestBuilders matches you with BWF and Institute of Carpenters-qualified joiners. Workshop-built or on-site, with full Building Regulations sign-off where needed (Part K for stairs).
Landscaping & Garden Work
A new patio, fencing run or full garden design and build — BestBuilders matches you with BALI (British Association of Landscape Industries) and APL (Association of Professional Landscapers) accredited specialists. Proper sub-base construction, drainage and SuDS-compliant surfacing as standard.
Garage Conversions
Transform your single, double or detached garage into a home office, gym, annexe or extra bedroom — typically adds 10–15% to property value. BestBuilders matches you with FMB and CIOB-accredited specialists who handle Building Regulations sign-off, structural calculations and full insulation upgrade as standard.
EV Charger Installation
Home EV charger installation by OZEV-approved, NICEIC-registered installers — 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.
