LOCAL, HANDS-ON, BUILT PROPERLY

A building team you can actually get hold of

Building Plus is a hands-on building company working across London and the surrounding areas. We specialise in extensions, refurbishments, loft conversions and structural alterations - the kind of projects where the details matter and the job needs managing properly day-to-day.

Clients come to us because they want the build done right, with a tidy site, clear communication and a finish that feels like it belongs. No disappearing acts. No vague timelines. Just a well-run job from the first visit through to the final sign-off.

If you are planning an extension or refurb and want straight answers on cost, programme and what is realistically achievable in your home, give us a ring or send a message and we will talk it through.

WORKING WITH US

Why Building Plus?

Most problems on building projects come from poor planning and poor communication. We keep things simple, proper preparation, a clear scope, and a team that takes responsibility for what is happening on site.

Whether it is an extension, a refurbishment, or structural work, we aim for the same outcome every time - a smooth build and a result you are proud of.

Experience that shows

Years of delivering extensions and refurbishments across London means we know what tends to trip jobs up - and we plan around it from day one.

Clear communication

You are kept in the loop. Decisions are confirmed, changes are discussed upfront, and you always know what is happening next.

Quality workmanship

Good structure, neat finishes, and an eye for the small details that make an extension feel like part of the original house.

Transparent pricing

Clear itemised quotes and a proper scope, so you can compare like-for-like and avoid nasty surprises once the job starts.

We treat your home with respect - protect what is staying, keep things tidy, and deliver a finish you can live with for years.

A straightforward process (and no guesswork)

We start with a thorough look at the space, access and what you want to achieve. From there, we help you tighten up the scope, talk you through the build sequence, and flag anything that could affect cost or timing early.

Once the job is booked in, we work to an agreed programme, keep the site organised, and update you regularly. If something changes, you hear it quickly, along with options and a clear costed approach.

The goal is simple: a build that feels controlled, not chaotic.

Typical projects we take on:

Rear and side return extensions
Single storey extensions
Full and part refurbishments
Structural alterations and steelwork (RSJs)
Kitchens, bathrooms and internal reworks

TRUST & PEACE OF MIND

Trade bodies and independent reviews

Federation of Master Builders

Being involved with recognised trade bodies matters because it shows commitment to standards and professionalism. If you are comparing builders, look for companies that take compliance, contracts and good practice seriously - it usually shows in the end result.

We are also fully insured, and we are happy to provide details on request.

Checkatrade

A lot of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals, but independent feedback is still important. Checkatrade gives homeowners a place to see verified reviews and get a feel for how a company works in real homes, not just on polished marketing photos.

If you would like examples of similar projects to yours, just ask and we will point you to the most relevant ones.

Frequently asked questions

What areas do you cover?

We work across South London and surrounding areas. If you are not sure whether we cover your location, send us the postcode and a quick outline of the project.

How long does a typical extension take?

Timelines vary by size and complexity. Once we have the scope, access and any approvals confirmed, we will give you a realistic programme and keep you updated as the job progresses.

Can I live in the house during the build?

In most cases, yes. We plan the work to reduce disruption, protect existing areas, keep the site tidy, and keep the house usable wherever possible.

How do you handle changes during the project?

Any changes are discussed first, priced clearly, and agreed before we proceed. That way there are no surprises later.

Do you use subcontractors?

We stay hands-on and keep a consistent main team on the job. If a specialist trade is needed, we will tell you upfront and manage it properly.

Do you help with planning permission and building control?

Yes. We regularly work alongside architects and building control. If planning approval is needed, we can help you understand what is required and how it affects the build.

How do you keep the site safe and tidy?

We keep the site organised, protect existing areas, and tidy up daily. It makes the build safer and helps reduce disruption while you are living in the house.

Will I have one main point of contact?

Yes. You deal directly with the people running the job, so communication stays clear and decisions are dealt with quickly.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry full public liability and employer’s liability insurance, so your home and everyone on site is properly covered.

What do you need from me to price the job properly?

Ideally, drawings (if you have them), a short description of what you want to achieve, and any known constraints (access, parking, party wall, time pressures). If you are early stage, we can still give guidance on likely costs and next steps after an initial chat.
