Before you hire

What to check before hiring a builder

Whoever you choose, these are the questions worth asking first.

Planning and Building Regulations

Many extensions are permitted development, but most still need Building Regulations approval. Your builder should explain who is applying and who signs off.

Party Wall Act

If you're building on or near a shared wall, you must give your neighbours notice under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

Staged payments

Avoid paying large sums up front. Link payments to finished stages of work.

Trade body membership

The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) and TrustMark vet members and offer routes to resolve disputes.

General guidance only. Rules can change, so check with Bromley Council or the relevant trade body if you’re unsure.

FAQ

Builders in Bromley: common questions

Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but limits apply and conservation areas have stricter rules. Check with Bromley Council or apply for a Lawful Development Certificate for certainty.

A breakdown of labour and materials, what's excluded, the timescale, the payment schedule, and who handles waste, skips and Building Control.

For extensions you'll usually need drawings. Some builders work with architects or technicians and can recommend one.

Reputable builders are often booked weeks or months ahead, so contact them early, especially for spring and summer starts.
