Find Extension Builders Near You
The cost of hiring an extension builder will depend on your location, the size of the project and the amount of work involved. On average, builders charge around £150–£300 per day, although rates can be higher in London and the South East.
For larger projects, extension builders will usually provide a quote for the entire job rather than charge an hourly or daily rate. This will depend on the type of extension you're planning, the complexity of the work and whether additional tradespeople are needed.
Before hiring an extension builder, make sure you understand what's included in the price. Ask whether the quote covers labour, materials, waste removal, VAT and project management.
Using MyJobQuote, you can compare up to 3 no-obligation quotes from local extension builders to find someone who suits your project and budget.

Before hiring an extension builder, check their customer reviews and examples of previous work to make sure they're suitable for your project. It's also worth asking about public liability insurance and whether they'll use subcontractors for any of the work.
Discuss when they can start, how long the extension will take and what's included in the quote, such as labour, materials, structural work and VAT. Make sure you have a written contract covering payment schedules, unexpected costs and building regulations before work begins.
Find an Extension Builder
Home extension builders carry out the main construction work for a home extension, including foundations, walls, roofing, structural work and often internal finishes.
The cost depends on the size, type of extension, materials, location, structural work and level of finish. A typical rear extension adding a single room may cost between £25,000 and £40,000, although larger projects can cost considerably more.
Some home extensions fall within permitted development rights, meaning planning permission may not be needed. However, there are exceptions depending on the location, size, height and property type. Rules also differ across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. If you aren’t sure about planning permission, contact your local council's planning department for advice before starting work.
Most house extensions require building regulations approval. These cover areas such as structure, insulation, electrics, drainage, fire safety and ventilation. Your builder should understand what's needed to comply with the relevant building regulations.
Smaller home extensions can take around 3 months to complete. A double-storey extension may take around 4 to 5 months. Timescales depend on the complexity of the job, availability, weather conditions, design and planning requirements.
Many homeowners choose to use an architect to provide drawings, design advice and help with planning applications, especially for larger or more complex extensions. However, an architect isn't always necessary, and other building design services may be suitable depending on the project.
If you are having a small extension built, then it is likely you can stay in your home during construction. However, if the extension is large and needs structural changes, you may want to move out of your home temporarily, as you may not have access to bathrooms or your kitchen. Lighting and heating may also be affected.
All quotes for a home extension should clearly explain what work is included, such as:
Labour
Materials
Structural work
Foundations
Roofing
Electrics
Plumbing
Plastering
Waste removal
VAT and any exclusions
Make sure you understand what is included before agreeing to the work.
