Featured Reviews for Builders in Essex

WeTradeWorks Contractors
Builders in Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 April 2022
“They designed and fitted our kitchen, a brilliant job done! Professional and reliable is what comes to mind!”
Fox Conversions
Builders in Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 November 2023
“Chris and his team provided some refurbishment works at my property in Leyton. His team was professional, courteous and efficient whilst having great communication with Chris during the duration of the project. They ensured cleaning/tidying was done on a daily basis which was great as we where still living in the property. The work was carried out to high standard and I was kept up to date at each stage of the project with detailed invoices and explanations of costs so there where no surprises. I would highly recommend Fox Conversions”
Vibe Construction Ltd
Builders in Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 October 2022
“We are extremely pleased with all the works carried out by Jim and his team at our property! Vibe has done an excellent job for us on multiple occasions, including a garage conversion (which has now turned into a downstairs bathroom, a utility room, and a play room), roof repairs, installing a brand new kitchen and a new bathroom, and a full house refurbishment. Jim and his team are very professional, easy to communicate with, and finish everything to a high quality, while sticking to the original budget and timelines, which we really appreciated. We also appreciated talking to Jim about various aspects of the house refurbishment and how to achieve the designs we had in mind. For instance, we wanted some custom made book shelves around the fireplace to house our many books, and Jim was able to create it for us. Likewise, he created a beautiful play room for our daughter and an extremely functional utility room for us. Overall, Jim and his team have gone beyond our expectations in delivering a very high quality project and managing the entire process professionally. We would recommend them highly to anyone looking to carry out building projects regardless of size.”
Studio Hako
Builders in Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 November 2022
“I worked with Studio Hako for the fit out of my new salon space in Hackney Glasshouse Salon. Joel was incredibly professional and supportive throughout the process, as were all of his team members and contractors. I experienced great communication throughout the project and felt well guided when there were unexpected issues. Studio Hako offers a well rounded service that encompassed more than just the build, but also consultation on things like technology and sounds systems etc. We really enjoyed working with a company that share our love for sustainability, quality design and longevity.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 September 2020
“Daniel from Urban structures was so professional and helpful! He came to fix a leak I had and various other issues in my house due to a previous builder who completely messed up the job and refused to fix anything! Daniel was a breath of fresh air everything was fixed quickly and to an amazing standard! Would highly recommend.”

Renewvate Ltd.
Builders in Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 December 2021
“I used Renewvate to build my rear extension and have been very happy with the quality and professionalism of the job. The process has been seem less which has been handy as I did not need the stress whilst working from home. The workers were friendly and left the site clean at the end of the day. They went over and beyond to make sure the project was a success. I would whole heartedly recommend this firm.”
R.A.S. Construction And Design Ltd
Builders in Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 February 2019
“I have used Chris and his team at R.A.S Construction for several 'full service' projects (covering refurbishment, extending, plumbing, re-wiring etc) - each time the work and service has been exceptional. We received a detailed, competitive quote and the work was completed on-time to a very high standard. I would have no hesitation recommending them or using again. He provided references and gave the opportunity to view past projects (we were so impressed by the work and dedication that we were happy to have potential customers contact us and even view our finished projects).”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Essex:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.
You can find a local builder in Essex with Houzz in two ways:

  1. Answer a few questions about your project to get matched with a local professional for free. Enter your postcode above to get started.

After choosing either option, you can reach out to the builders you want to discuss your project with. You can request and compare quotes before hiring the right builder for you.
When looking for an Essex building company to take on your project, you will want to know that they will be able to handle the job in good time and sticking to your agreed budget. A professional contractor will have worked on projects like yours previously and they will know exactly what to do.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Essex that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way. If you can, you could try to see previous projects and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, recommendations and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects. All of which you can find on Houzz.
