Just tell us what work you need done and where, and we’ll match you with local builders for hire across the UK so you can compare profiles, reviews and quotes before you make a decision.
Professional builders offer a wide range of services for both residential and commercial projects, such as:
A general builder UK homeowners rely on may also advise on planning permission, building regulations and compliance to help ensure your project meets required standards.
You may want to hire a professional builder if your project involves:
From small upgrades to large construction jobs, experienced builders handle complex requirements with skill and care.
When comparing builders near me, look at experience with similar projects, qualifications and whether they are members of reputable trade bodies. Ask about timescales, materials and warranties, and check reviews from previous clients.
With Bark, you can hire a builder UK homeowners trust and request builder quotes UK to compare options that suit your budget and project needs.
Based on Bark’s research across the UK, many general builders charge between £150 and £400 per day, depending on experience, location and project complexity. Larger extensions, structural work or specialised builds can cost significantly more. Requesting detailed builder quotes UK professionals provide will help you budget accurately.
Look for builders with relevant experience, public liability insurance and memberships with recognised UK trade organisations such as the Federation of Master Builders. Also consider whether they understand planning permission and building regulations.
Many experienced builders can advise on planning permission and building regulations. However, it’s important to clarify this upfront as some clients may need specialist architects or surveyors in addition to a builder.
On the search for a good builder? Here's what you need to look out for when choosing one
I started working as a day labourer when I finished school. At first, it was simply to tide me over. Soon, I realised what goes into every building you pass on the street. After a few years, I began taking on more and more responsibility. From there it was a matter of time before I branched out independently. I’ve learnt that employees respect someone who's done the hard work and got their hands dirty.
We're able to handle nearly every construction project you can think of. We take a lot of pride in craftsmanship, as it gives our customers the best value for money. I’ll never excuse work that’s less than perfect, even if a customer is putting pressure on us to get the job finished ahead of time.
Our company offers mainly homebuilding and renovation services. Recently I’ve taken on more commercial building contractors. People in this line of work tend to think big, so we’ve been able to carry out renovations for whole blocks of flats. I’ve got a Level 3 Diploma in Electrotechnical Services, specialising in installations. This means I’m usually the one who’ll fit power systems, lighting, and any fire protection systems.

Very happy and satisfied with the work on my new roof thanks John would recommend

I asked Rob to call around to discuss some work we were considering having done. We did not know whether it involves structural changes and/or what regulations would apply and how we would go about it. Rob was extremely helpful and advised that the changes we were considering could be done but weren’t strictly necessary and there were other ways to overcome the issues. His advice actually meant that we did not require his services so essentially he talked himself out of work. He fully appreciated that but was happy to help in any event. He has certainly saved us money we didn’t need to spend and I was very impressed when he would not even accept payment of a fee for coming out. He will certainly be my first point of contact for any work in the future!
