Find a local builder who can re-point your chimney and knock down a shared wall at a great price
No job too small, fix a garden brick wall or insulate the loft. Or too big, removing a chimney breast inside the living room or helping to repurpose a room by removing a wall or adding in a wall.
What services do builder companies provide?

So, if you need a builder to build or refurbish a room in your home HaMuch has thousands of friendly, The National Federation of Builders (NFB) registered professionals ready to help with your room renovation, insulate your basement and build a new brick wall.
Why do you need a general builder?
Using a specialist builder will help you get the best results from your new brick wall or removing a chimney breast inside a room. Here are some of our top reasons why you should hire a specialist builder for small jobs around the house:
Expertise and knowledge: Builders have extensive knowledge and expertise in building design, materials and installation techniques. They are familiar with the latest industry trends, best practices and technical aspects involved in creating a functional and great-looking space saving room. Their specialist knowledge allows them to offer valuable advice, suggest suitable materials and provide creative design solutions tailored to your needs.
Quality installation: Brick wall installation involves various technical aspects, including site preparation, levelling and proper drainage. A specialist builder will follow industry standards and best practices to create a stable and long-lasting wall. Their experience with different materials and installation techniques allows them to tackle potential challenges effectively and minimise the risk of issues like uneven surfaces, water pooling or wobbling walls.
Saves you time and money: Using a builder can save you time and money in the long run. They’ll complete the project much more quickly than you would if you tried to do it yourself. Plus, they’ll ensure that the wall is installed correctly the first time, reducing the likelihood of costly repairs further down the line. They can also provide accurate cost estimates and help you optimise your budget by recommending cost-effective materials and design solutions without compromising on quality.
What do builders do?
A professional builder co-ordinates all activities around the construction and maintenance of a home. If you’re embarking on an extension or even a smaller build job, a professional builder will oversee the project from the planning stages to the final touches.
The builder first begins the job by obtaining building permits (if necessary)for their client and surveying the land on which they’ll be working. An architect then designs the blueprints, and the builder will oversee the transformation from design into an actual structure, from the laying of the foundations to the roofing. A builder will also work with plumbers, painters, electricians and other tradesmen to make the finishing touches.
Below are some specific responsibilities of a builder:
- Co-ordination of construction services: Builders will have a broad range of skills and contacts within the construction trade, and will co-ordinate the services for a project as required.
- Organisation of tasks: A builder is responsible for the organisation of tasks for every contractor. They organise construction hours to ensure compliance with the times specified by the local authority; for some councils construction work should not be done in the early morning, while others may or may not permit evening or weekend building work.
- Supervision of contractors: A builder supervises the work done by an electrician, carpenter, painter, plumber or bricklayer to ensure it is completed according to plan. They also ensure safety standards are maintained throughout the project.
- Administrative duties: A builder takes on administrative duties such as getting a building permit from local authorities, calculating cost and quantities of building materials, and paying contractors.
