What we do
Our Building & Renovation Services
From a single room to a full house refurbishment, choose the service that fits your plans. Explore our building and renovation services below.
Kitchen Refurbishment
Update your kitchen layout, cabinets, worktops and flooring. Plan the plumbing and electrics before fitting starts.
Bathroom Refurbishments
Replace tired fittings, improve the layout and choose practical tiles. Allow for plumbing, ventilation and waterproofing.
House Extensions
Add living space to your home. Start with the layout, access, drawings and any planning requirements.
Loft Conversions
Use the space under your roof for another room. Check headroom, stair access and the structure first.
House Refurbishments
Bring repairs, room upgrades and decorating into one plan. Set the order of work before choosing the final finishes.
Carpentry Services
Fitted cupboards, shelving, doors and timber repairs. Make better use of alcoves, awkward corners and unused space.
Flooring Services
Replace worn floors with a finish that suits the room. Check the subfloor, moisture and levels before fitting.
Painting and Decorating
Refresh walls, ceilings and woodwork. Good preparation helps the new finish look right and last longer.
Garage Conversions
Turn an underused garage into useful space. Consider insulation, light, access and the intended use of the room.
Water Damage
Repair finishes affected by leaks or flooding. Find and resolve the cause, then check drying before reinstatement.

About Our Builders in Islington
Renovation that starts with your home.
Builders Islington offers home repairs, room refurbishments, carpentry and decorating, along with extensions and conversions of existing properties. If you are unsure where to start, call with your postcode and a short description of the work.
Islington homes come with different challenges. A terrace in Canonbury may have limited delivery access. A converted flat near Angel may share entrances and services. In Highbury, you may want more space while keeping the character of the house.
For a kitchen refurbishment or bathroom refurbishment, think about the layout and existing plumbing first. For an extension, bring any drawings and check the rules for your address.
Listed buildings and homes in conservation areas may need extra permissions. Read Islington Council’s guidance before making structural or external changes.

Planning your budget
Building & Renovation Costs
The cost of building work in Islington depends on what needs doing and the condition of the property. Replacing bathroom fittings is a different job from moving walls or building an extension.
Call to discuss the work before setting a budget. A site visit may be needed for a useful quotation. Ask whether VAT, materials, waste removal and making good are included.
Allow for unexpected repairs, especially in older homes. Agree how any extra work will be priced before it starts.
Scope & structure
The size of the area, layout changes and condition of the existing building.
Materials & fittings
Cabinetry, tiles, sanitaryware, flooring and the standard of finish.

Floor level, deliveries, parking, waste removal and working in an occupied home.
Design & approvals
Drawings, specialist advice and any required applications or inspections.

Before you begin
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a quotation?
Call 020 3026 9485 with your postcode, the work you have in mind and any useful photographs or drawings. Discuss whether a property visit is needed to define the scope.
Can I combine a kitchen and bathroom refurbishment?
Yes, discuss both rooms together when setting the scope. This helps identify shared plumbing or electrical work, delivery requirements and the order in which rooms can be taken out of use.
Do I need planning permission for an extension or loft conversion?
The answer depends on the property and proposal. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas can have additional restrictions. Check Islington Council’s planning guidance and seek advice for your address before work begins.
How long will the work take?
Timing depends on the agreed scope, existing conditions, approvals and material lead times. Ask for a proposed programme and discuss what could change the dates before agreeing a start.
Can I stay at home during a renovation?
This depends on safety, access and which services remain usable. Discuss dust protection, working areas, water and power interruptions, and whether temporary accommodation may be needed.
What should a written quotation include?
Ask for a description of the work, material allowances, exclusions, payment stages, proposed timings and VAT treatment. Clarify how additional work will be agreed and priced.
