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:

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.

Excellent job on our bathroom and kitchen renovation! At first, I placed a bathroom refurbishment job request on bark.com, Riz from Centaurus Development reached out and visited my house straightaway to inspect the bathroom. He sent me photos/ videos of bathrooms his team had previously worked on. He sent me the scope of work to be done, list of materials to buy, stores that were offering discounts. We were able to save money on material costs. The workmanship from Dev and his team was outstanding, the team was professional and reliable, and transformed our bathroom. Dev was easy to work with and the final results of the bathroom look fantastic. Based on our bathroom transformation by Riz from Centaurus Development, me and my wife were happy to have his team work on our kitchen refurbishment and they equally transformed our kitchen and we saved money on the kitchen in general based on his advice. When one of the biggest kitchen retailers in UK representative visited our property for kitchen measurements, they asked me for the name of the builder that will assemble the kitchen units, I told him, his name is Riz from Centaurus Development. The representative checked his system and told me that they know him and that he has installed a lot of kitchens for their customers. We are extremely happy with the bathroom and kitchen work and would highly recommend their services!
