Trades that quote bigger jobs.

General builders

Firms with a team who want the diary full of proper jobs.

• Single and double-storey extensions, structural openings and knock-throughs
• Garage conversions, outbuildings and garden rooms
• Whole-house refurbishments and multi-room projects

Not: small repairs, odd jobs, "can you just pop round and have a look".

Extensions

Specialists in adding space, not patching it.

• Rear, side-return and wrap-around extensions
• Kitchen-diner extensions with bifolds or sliders
• Double-storey and over-garage extensions

Not: porches and lean-tos unless you've told us you want them.

Renovations

Full refurbs where the homeowner has a budget and a plan.

• Whole-house renovations, including rewires and re-plumbs
• Period property restoration and reconfiguration
• Loft conversions and basement conversions

Not: a single room repaint or a landlord's quick turnaround.

Roofing

Full roofs, not the odd slipped tile.

• Full re-roofs in slate, tile or concrete
• Flat roof replacements, GRP and EPDM
• Roofs on new extensions and dormers

Not: emergency leak call-outs or gutter cleans.

Kitchens

Supply-and-fit or fit-only, on full kitchen projects.

• Full kitchen replacements with electrics, plumbing and flooring
• Kitchen-diner knock-throughs and open-plan reworks
• Utility rooms and boot rooms done alongside

Not: worktop swaps or a few replacement doors.

Bathrooms

Full strip-outs and refits, wet rooms and en suites.

• Complete bathroom renovations, tiling to final fix
• Wet rooms and walk-in showers, including tanking
• New en suites and downstairs WCs added to the house

Not: a tap change, a resealed bath or a single retile.

Windows & doors

Whole-house replacements and big glazed openings.

• Full-house window and door replacements, uPVC, aluminium or timber
• Bifold and sliding doors onto gardens, with structural work
• Composite front doors as part of a bigger order

Not: a single replacement pane or a repair to a handle.
