My London Builders

Cowboy builders are the bane of the industry. An extreme minority who give the thousands of quality, trusted builders a bad name. Despite that, the few who don’t do a good job seem to get more headlines than the thousands of us that do a good job.

My London Builders is a local firm who use local, trusted builders. As well as providing great quality building services to our customers, we’re also providing as much information as possible about the pitfalls of not choosing your tradesmen wisely, and how to avoid the unscrupulous.

This article forms part of that effort. We discuss the various methods by which you can ensure any trade you employ won’t let you down. The easiest way to do this is by using My London Builders. But, if you’re outside our area, the next best thing is to ensure you thoroughly check anyone who comes to work in your home.

Only by making the effort and being careful will you avoid being caught in the lasso of the cowboy builder. Follow the steps contained in this article to drastically reduce the possibility of being one of the few that is noticed by so many.

Before the days of tight regulation and the nanny state, plumbers in London would do whatever it took to get the job done, I know I did. We didn’t take unnecessary risks, but we didn’t worry too much about “what if’s.” We did whatever the job needed to do to satisfy the client.

Along came the nanny state and now we can’t get out of the van without a risk assessment and our PPE. While there are many legitimate safety issues with being a plumber in London, there are many that aren’t so legitimate.

Plumbers in London are a hardy bunch who can look after ourselves. However, there are some real safety issues we deal with on a daily basis, so common sense is a must. We are all for sensible safety precautions, as long as they don’t get in the way of the job.

However, there are legitimate safety challenges for all plumbers in London, and we’re going to discuss them here. Equipment is a big part of what we do. We would be nowhere without our tools, so it makes sense to keep it good working order. Much of the rest of safety is about being sensible when we’re on customer property.

My London Builders talk to an electrician who specialises in electrical installations services in London about the Competent Person Scheme. We ask them whether more oversight is welcome, or whether it’s just another waste of time.

With the tightening of regulation throughout the building trades, another trade entity could easily get lost in the crowd. The Competent Person Scheme is designed to offer peace of mind to the public and higher standards in the trades. It is run by the electrical, gas and plumbing industries to provide a minimum quality of workmanship and the ability for its members to self-certify their work.

The scheme would benefit homeowners by providing a framework through which they could judge the abilities of their trades, such as electrical installations services in London. It would help the authorities by reducing the burden of inspection of work carried out, and hopefully lower the risk of fire or injury from poor workmanship.

It seems that like many changes, it wasn’t well received at first, but once the dust settled, acceptance came quickly. The scheme offers benefits to all involved and once a trade has qualified, they can carry on as they did before. We talk to one such trade to see how it has affected them.

Emergency plumbing in London is a lucrative business, and one populated by some very capable and some not so capable characters. In a normal scenario, you would thoroughly vet your tradesman before letting them loose on your home. In an emergency situation, that isn’t always possible.

If you have a leaking pipe, or water gushing everywhere then you don’t have the luxury of time to do that. So you need a specialist in emergency plumbing in London who won’t let you down. That’s where My London Builders comes in.

We have plumbers on staff who deliver on their promises and won’t take advantage of a customer in trouble. It pays to work with someone you trust, and while we won’t tell you to trust us, we do invite you to let us prove you can. Trust is earned not given, so give us a try and let us prove we are as good as we say we are.

Emergency plumbing in London is only one of the services we offer, so we don’t need to rinse every penny out of it. It is just one of a number of services we offer our city neighbours. For plumbers, electricians, builders and trades you can trust, call My London Builders today, we won’t let you down.

The idea behind Part P was to make electrics in the home safer for everyone. It wasn’t viewed that way at first, by London electricians or by homeowners. For us, it meant being tested to do something we had spent 20 years doing. For the customer it meant some faceless bureaucrat telling them what they can and cannot do in their own home.

Electrical faults are responsible for a lot of fires, so the logic behind the new regulation was sound. However, in reality, it meant those of us who had been doing electrics suddenly had to go and be tested for something we have been doing for years. Myself, and the other London electricians I spoke to were not happy at all.

It did mean that the average homeowner would call us in instead of making big changes to their electrics. It meant more work for us, less time spent making good their mistakes, but more time waiting for it to be signed off. Becoming Part P certified meant instead of waiting for a Building Inspector to come sign off, I could do it myself. I, and many of the London electrician friends, decided to go with it rather than fight it.

Local builders and other small businesses are still the lifeblood of our economy. While large companies can rely on brand names or their reputation to keep solvent, small businesses cannot. We have to depend on providing great services at great prices to survive.

As a consumer, using a local builder makes sense. You get someone who knows the area, who knows the peculiarities of your particular building and who has a real desire to provide quality work at a fair price. My London Builders use local talent for our work because we believe in supporting quality tradesmen.

Our city wouldn’t get anywhere without them, so it’s our duty to support local builders however we can. That doesn’t mean taking on any old trade, it means carefully selecting quality local builders with a track record of delivering results and not letting customers down.

Shopping locally doesn’t mean lowering standards, it means finding those people who take pride in their work and who deliver real results every single time. It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking for local builders, plasterers, electricians or decorators.

Using local people keeps your area alive. It provides jobs for those that want them and forces local businesses to concentrate on quality and service rather than just price.

For us electricians, London is somewhere where you will never have the same day twice. The sheer variety of people, places, buildings and jobs ensures we never get bored. As a nation we are DIY enthusiasts, much more so than other countries. Yet there is always room for a professional in your home.

The advent of Part P regulation meant that from January 2005, there were jobs in the home that you could no longer do. That’s where electricians in London kept their foot in the door and were able to survive these tough times.

At first, we didn’t like the idea of yet more regulation. It meant more time spent getting certified for things we have been doing for years. It also meant more expense, more time and more hassle tackling the bureaucracy.

Now the dust has settled, the average electrician in London has got to grips with Part P and so have many homeowners. While we still see our fair share of botched DIY jobs, they are often not as serious as they were before. If nothing else, this aspect of the new regulation is bearing fruit. As for improving safety in the home? From the state of some of the properties we see every day, I’m not so sure.

Our central heating installers in London who work on new homes have to install combi boilers, building regulations stipulate as much. However, in the thousands of Georgian and Victorian homes in the city, the choice is still largely with the homeowner.

Central heating installers in London, including those who work for My London Builders will still suggest using a combi boiler in most circumstances as they offer decent efficiency, modest up-front costs and provide everything the average family needs. It’s only in those homes that use a lot of hot water where a combi boiler may not be the best choice.

It isn’t worth swapping a new or perfectly usable boiler for a combi, but it’s definitely worth considering when it comes to renewing your old one. A combi means not having a hot water tank and having hot water “on tap.” In homes where a lot of hot water is needed, or a lot of baths are taken, this isn’t such a good thing, but everywhere else it should be fine.

In our “on demand” society, it stands to reason that having domestic services there only when you need them makes sense. It costs money to heat a tank full of water and if it doesn’t get used, it’s just a waste.

The saying “you need to speculate to accumulate” isn’t completely apt here, although the idea that spending money on employing a plumber in London can save money sort of fits. There are many jobs we can do ourselves around the home, but there are also many we cannot.

Employing trades to help around the home is worthwhile if you have jobs you can’t do, or if your own time is very valuable. After all, why spend five hours struggling to do something it would take a professional minutes to do? Plumbers in London aren’t the cheapest in the world, but for the most part, they are worth every penny.

When it comes to fixing leaks, lagging pipes, fitting low-energy appliances and other money-saving devices, it pays to have a professional in for the day. The average plumber in London could fix, fit and future proof your home in hours, and the savings you could enjoy could pay for that service in months.

So, while employing a professional may cost money, you would make it back through paying less in fuel and water bills. It should be considered an investment rather than a cost, as it pays for itself in the long run.

Working with wood is an obvious upside to carpentry. London has just about every kind, type, and colour wood imaginable so it’s a carpenters playground.

You have to feel sorry for our roofing. London is full of it, but we never even consider it until it lets us down. The roofs in London are part of its charm and is well celebrated in Dickensian, and modern literature. From chimney sweeps to rooftop chases, the roofscape of London is a beauty to behold.

To be a qualified electrician and work My London Builders, or yourself, you need to learn the old fashioned way. A combination of on-the-job training and theoretical learning is the only way to go. No reputable employer will take you on unless you have much more than a short course under your belt.

Nothing induces more fear in a homeowner that the idea of having a house extension. London builders do them every day, but still have to contend with fear of disruption, cowboys, bad workmanship and wasting money. There is much to consider when planning an extension.

If the budget allows, it’s definitely best to have it designed by an architect. They have the knowledge and experience to cover all the bases. If the extension is of a significant size, it’s a necessity. It’s better to spend 10-15% of the budget on a great design than risk all of it on a bad one.

My London builders are highly skilled individuals, but planning and designing an entire extension is still better left to an architect. We have extensive experience with extensions, the various styles of extension, and the materials involved. We are the ideal choice if you’re planning a structural change to a property in the city. We’re local, we’re reliable, we My London Builders.

Because the property market is so competitive, people are electing to make the most of their current home, rather than face the stress, expense and upheaval of moving home. One of the most popular property projects to add space is the loft conversion. London has thousands of houses without garages and large gardens, so garage conversions and extensions are out of the question.

My London Builders favour the loft conversion because, done right, it give the most space for your money. This essay brings up some of the most likely questions our builders or an architect will ask you during the planning process. If you take them on board and have answers ready, things will go much quicker.

Effective communication between builder and client is the cornerstone of a successful project. Having an idea of the potential, and limitations of a loft conversion project will help you understand what a builder can and cannot do. It will also help us communicate with you. Take a few minutes to formulate an answer to each question and get ready for a happy, productive relationship.

When it comes to garage conversions, London has the highest activity rate of any city in England. Much of it is due to property prices. With them being so high, and salaries staying static, the gap between prices and affordability grows steadily. Many people are electing to keep My London Builders busy by adding, changing or refurbishing their homes instead of buying new ones.

The garage conversion is a classic example of repurposing existing space into living quarters. Most of us don’t use the garage for our cars. If you anything like us, your garage is full of boxes and stuff we haven’t taken to the tip yet.

You don’t need us to tell you times are tough. Mortgage approvals are at an all-time low, cost of living is increasing and there are plenty of other reasons why people aren’t moving. My London Builders are busier than ever building extensions, converting lofts and refurbishing tired homes. But, we will always make time for you.

It’s good news for the city, as the properties are being modernized, tidied up and generally improved. It’s good for the trades because it helps keep them in business when times are tough. It’s good for homeowners who get a new home at the fraction of the cash it would cost to move.

Behind the kitchen, the bathroom is the most important room to get right. It can add value to your home as well as saleability. There is plenty to think about, from space to bathroom fitters.

From reclaimed Victorian fittings, reproductions to contemporary fixtures and fittings, everything is within reach. Once your room is planned, there is just one firm you need to call.

It’s easy to get carried away when planning a new kitchen. Surprisingly, the most overlooked aspect of this project is kitchen fitters. London is full of them, DIY stores can provide them, but most people forget to factor them into the cost of a new kitchen. My London Builders field calls from frantic homeowners all the time, asking for them to fit a kitchen they have ordered but forgot to arrange for fitting.

Many stores will arrange it for you, but expect to pay a premium. Bespoke kitchens will be built on site, with the company’s own craftsmen, but shop-bought ones won’t. If you’re planning to use your own tradesmen, make sure you schedule us in for the same time as the kitchen arrives. Lead times are often weeks ahead, so choose your kitchen carefully, and have the fitters ready for the day rather than leaving it to the last minute. My London Builders have the right men, and the right tools for the job, just don’t leave it until the last minute to call us.

This article seeks to highlight questions you should be asking when planning a new kitchen. Use them to decide the right room for you.

When it comes to home refurbishment, London is in a flurry of activity. With the dearth of new money for mortgages, increased moving costs and a general malaise in the property market, more and more people are electing to modify their homes to their lifestyle. London builders are busy working on properties of all shapes and sizes, modifying them to fit changing needs and circumstances.

While families may not be able to move, they are still growing and changing. Often a space will work for one period of one’s life, and not for others. A refurbishment is the ideal project for the budding DIY enthusiast to get involved in, but will still need the help of the professionals. My London Builders are here to help, with the research, and getting the job done.

This article discusses the less obvious decisions an amateur project manager will need to make and suggests choices to consider. It doesn’t seek to make them decisions for you, but gives food for thought when you come up against them.

In West London, builders have a somewhat mixed reputation. Most of it is undeserved, but the actions of a few reflect on the industry as a whole. The prevalence of consumer websites, programmes and undercover investigations into the building trade all focus in the negative aspects of it.

Rarely is any positive press published or broadcast that highlights the honest, hard-working tradesmen that labour every day to make our city a beautiful one. Homeowners need to know that the vast majority of London builders are legitimate tradesmen, with legitimate businesses who want to earn an honest wage. My London Builders are one such company. The point of these articles is to arm the homeowner with enough information to make good buying decisions. Then you’ll realise, we only have your interests at heart.

This article seeks to enlighten the public and offer some practical advice on choosing a good builder. It highlights what to look out for, and what to avoid in the hope that fewer people will fall prey to the unscrupulous and more will find and honest, reliable tradesman.

The press and TV media focus a lot of attention on the “cowboy” builder, bad tradesmen and conmen. They never seem to spend as much time talking about the hundreds of other London builders that work hard every day.

This article discusses how to tell if the tradesman you have is a good one or not. There are tell-tale signs, and we mention a few of them here. The aim is to arm you, the reader, with enough information to be able to make a fair judgement of the builder when you meet them.

We give you the things to look out for in a good builder, and what to look for in a bad one. Nothing beats gut-feeling, but this practical advice is the next best thing. We hope you find My London Builders satisfactory. We work hard to make sure you do.

Finding anything on the internet is easy, London Builders are no different. However, the medium does have its limitations. The internet is like the Wild West, there is no control, no oversight and no police. It’s very much on your own head be it. So it remains that it’s better to research building methods, and the work being quoted for, rather than the builder themselves. That way, you’re not going to fall prey to subjective judgement and positive public relations, which is all too easy to fake. Then you can just contact My London Builders and they will get the job done.

Learning about the job instead of researching builders is the very best use of your time. Learning what’s involved, likely costs and useful jargon can all present an aura of knowledge that many “cowboys” won’t want to risk. It allows you to talk knowledgably to the legitimate builder like us to promote a better understanding of the work involved.

Making the effort to learn about the project and using it properly is the best way of getting a builder onside and improve relations between you.
