London is full of beautiful old buildings, but these buildings often need care and attention.  Finding a builder who will respect your property is not always an easy task.

What should be looking for in a builder in London?

Skill – it is important to find the correct craftsman for the job.  Why use a handy man to build shelves when you can get a carpenter for a similar price.  Think about what you want and then find the best possible person the do the job.

Experience – Every area is different and it is best to find people who are local to your property, will know the best places to source materials and will know who to contact should you require planning permissions or other authorizations.

Continued relationship – There is nothing worse than finding a great tradesman and then not being able to contact them again.  The best people to work with are those who are established and with whom you can build a continued relationship.  This also means that you can manage your spending and have long term projects which better fit your finances and leave you more flexibility.

There are often confusions about the validity of quotes and estimates.  At the end of the day any tradesman can change the amount they charge part way through the job.  Forcing a tradesman to stick to a price which they believe is unrealistic is not the grounds for good quality work.  Sometimes it appears that the tradesmen who offered the lowest quotes always had plans to find ways to charge more once they were on the job.  At the end of the day, until a job is done no one will know exactly how much it will cost.  If you have chosen your contractors well then there will be a relationship in which you can find a solution.

Finding a builder in London can mean a phoning a mass of mobiles and hoping that someone reasonable answers.

Perhaps there is a different way.  There are reputable builders in London  who will work with you over an extended period of time and you will be able to build a relationship based on trust.   These established builders have survived and flourished because you do get quality and you get a service.  If they were over priced they would be out of business, building is a competitive market.

So don’t waste time with builders and tradesmen who will only communicate through a mobile number, discover why people go back over and over again to some of the best people in London.
