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!

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
