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)!

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!

    • Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.
