Domestic home renovation - builder recommendations please


Recommended Posts

We have just had our architectural drawings and room plans completed for a home renovation project in East Dulwich. We are looking at getting some quotes from builders for a home renovation. Recommendations please (and ideally builders that people have used themselves)!

Martins - https://www.martinsbuilders.com - 020 8670 5771 - [email protected]

Did a very complicated side return for us whereby they basically had to chop off the back of the house and rebuild it from scratch. They reused a lot of the old bricks and found matching London stock. They did a fabulous job. It ran to the penny budget wise and the only delays to schedule were caused by us!


My other tip would be to re-engage your architect. Consider getting them to put together the tender for you. Our architect (Stephen Turvey) did this which meant when we got quotes back we knew we were definitely comparing like for like. He did a very thorough job too which meant that as we progressed there was never any surprise extras. We also had him project manage the build for us. I have done refurbs elsewhere, managing it all myself and I'd never do it again - using the architect for it was not that expensive and was worth every single penny.


Back to builders though - Martin's were brilliant throughout and I recommend them.

Hi there


We have literally just had Lura Builders finish our loft conversion and full house renovation. I?ve had some bad experiences with builders in the past but they have been great and amazingly finished (apart from some small snagging items) on time despite some extra things coming out of the woodwork. I have already recommended them to some friends.


Contact details on here. https://lurabuilders.co.uk/


Good luck with it all - think we contacted loads of builders before choosing one!

    • it isn't said on any news source that I look at. Are you asking on social media whether what you read on other social media is true?
    • Thank you. Yes we scanned him last time, he is neutered & chipped. We asked neighbours who were feeding him to keep him in as, owner said she wasn't back till following day. That night whilst he was kept in, Gladys came back. The owner lives on a street who's garden  backs onto my friends garden. We asked neighbour that kept him in for night, to not feed him anymore. The owner said not long after she got him, he went out January, never went back till December! I did say so you don't want the cat, she said yes she does but she can't lock him in. I suggested she leaflet all houses who's back gardens back onto hers, to say to stop feeding him. She didn't do it. So until people stop feeding him, he will be a problem as he obviously doesn't want to go home and all the time she never saw him, there was no posters up looking for him, so it's one of those situations! He is a beautiful fluffy black and white and is enormous. Don't know what the solution would be if owner not bothered. Celia hammond overflowing, even kitten season was early this year. Can't take a owned cat though I'm sure he isn't happy. I'm hoping Gladys and Doris will go back home if he isn't loitering. Yes their owner does spray him with water but has little impact. It is a real problem and a worry that they are too frightened to go home and may travel further away. That is the real worry. Will keep post updated. 
    • Hi, I’m looking for a small garden table and 2 chairs used but in good condition, ideally one you’d like to get rid of 😊 Chairs need to be sturdy so that she can sit on these safely!  Thanks in advance for her!
