Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a builder's quotation?

A comprehensive quotation should include labour costs, materials, timescale, VAT, and any site preparation or clearance. Ensure it specifies what's included and excluded to avoid hidden charges.

Do builders in Knowsley charge VAT?

Most registered builders charge VAT at 20% on labour and materials. However, some renovation work may qualify for reduced VAT rates – ask your builder if this applies to your project.

How long does a typical extension take?

A single-storey extension usually takes 8-12 weeks, depending on size and complexity. Weather, planning approvals, and site conditions can extend timescales. Your builder should provide a realistic schedule upfront.

Should I pay a deposit before work starts?

Yes, deposits of 10-25% are standard. However, never pay the full amount upfront. Agree on a payment schedule tied to project milestones and retain a final payment until all work is complete and inspected.
