General building

Describe the job once, in your own words.

Extensions, loft conversions, brickwork, structural work and more - we’ll work out what kind of job it is, turn it into a clear specification, and shortlist businesses with the evidence behind each one.

Tell me about the job you need doing - I’ll ask a few quick questions and put together a shortlist.

No account needed - we keep your job details for up to 30 days so you can come back to them, then remove them automatically. Signing up keeps everything for as long as you want. You can delete a job at any time, and we never share your details with a business without you choosing to. Read more about your data.

How it works

  1. Describe the job

    Tell us what needs doing in your own words - no forms, no jargon. We'll ask a few quick follow-up questions if anything's unclear.

  2. Confirm the details

    Check the specification we've put together and fix anything that's not quite right before we search - you're always in the loop.

  3. Review matched businesses

    See a ranked shortlist with the evidence behind each one - what's been checked, what hasn't, and how far away they are.

  4. Choose who to contact

    Call, email or visit a website when you're ready. We never contact anyone on your behalf, and your details stay with you.

What we cover

General building, covered properly

From a single-storey extension to structural work - here’s what we help with.

Garage conversion

Converting an attached or detached garage into a usable habitable room - a bedroom, office, playroom or similar.

Groundworks and structural alterations

Structural work such as removing or altering a load-bearing wall, underpinning, new foundations, or groundwork and drainage - always engineer-led and Building Regulations approved.

House extensions

Building a single- or double-storey extension to add new floor space to a house - rear, side, side-return, or wrap-around.

Loft conversion

Converting existing loft space into a usable room - a bedroom, office or similar - not just adding or topping up insulation.

Plastering and rendering

Internal plastering (walls and ceilings) and external rendering - a full new coat, a skim over existing plaster, or a render system for the outside of the house.

Repointing and brickwork

Repointing (renewing the mortar between bricks) and general brickwork repair on an existing wall.

Trust and evidence

We show our working

Evidence behind every listing

We show what's actually been checked for each business - things like an active company registration or a confirmed website - not just a star rating.

Sources you can see

Each result says where its information came from and how recent it is. Nothing is presented as verified unless it genuinely has been.

Honest about what's unknown

New listings that haven't been fully checked yet still show up - clearly labelled - rather than being hidden or dressed up as something they're not.

You’re in control

Your details, your call

You choose who to contact

We don't send your details to anyone automatically. Calling, emailing or visiting a website is always something you do yourself, when you're ready.

No account needed to start

Describe your job and see results as a guest. You can add an account later if you want to save your search - nothing is lost either way.

Ready when you are

Describe your job in your own words and see who’s a good fit - it takes a couple of minutes.
