‘How do I find a local builder?’ If you’ve asked this question, Registered is the ideal service for you. We vet and check the best local tradesmen across the UK, including all types of building companies.

From repairing a door to designing and building a complete home extension, we have the best local builder recommendations for you. The best building firm for you will depend on the type of work you need to complete. For a small job, what’s sometimes called a ‘jobbing builder’ may be fine. Typically a one-man band or small firm offering a range of services including joinery, bricklaying and roofing.

Insurance is essential and if a tradesman causes damage to your home during the course of work your own home insurance will usually exclude it. At Registered we check all our listing builders carry Public Liability insurance. For a home renovation or extension project, it’s best to hire a larger firm. They will have the resources and expertise required and will usually have partnerships with other tradesmen and professionals you may need. Examples include architects, building surveyors, kitchen designers and installers and driveway installers. 

Project managing a range of tradesmen on your own can be very time consuming, and it’s easy to forget something or make a mistake if you don’t have the right experience.

Home extensions have become very popular in recent years as more people have switched from the office to working from home. If this is why you’re asking how do I find a local builder there are specific things you should check before signing contracts. Planning and obtaining permissions for home extensions is key, so don’t take someone on unless they have experience in these areas. Good companies will offer a telephone consultation initially so you can discuss if an extension project is feasible. They will understand how to approach the local Council and know local architects they can call on.

Major home refurbishment projects are also generally best managed by larger building companies. You may need advice on design options as well as expert tradesmen to carry out the heavy work. Refurbishment and modernisation projects can take weeks or even months, so you need a builder with a large workforce capable of getting hands on deck to complete work on time.
