About Sussex Builder
What we do
We are not a building company. We do not employ builders or carry out building work ourselves. Instead, we connect Sussex homeowners with checked local builders, so you can get up to 3 free quotes for an extension, loft conversion, garage conversion or renovation without ringing round yourself. You fill in a short form or call 01273 115520, and we pass your project details to builders who work in your area. The service is free, and there is no obligation to accept any quote.
Why we started
Finding a builder can be hard work. Many homeowners do not know where to start, struggle to get anyone to come out and quote, and end up with a single price and no way of knowing whether it is fair. We wanted to make the first step easier by putting homeowners in touch with local builders who can quote for the job, so you have more than one option to compare. Seeing several quotes side by side makes it easier to understand what the work involves and to choose someone you are comfortable with.
What to ask before you choose a builder
Insurance
Ask each builder what insurance they hold, such as public liability cover, and ask to see the documents before work starts.
Past work
Ask to see photos or addresses of similar jobs they have finished, ideally on houses like yours.
References
Ask for the details of previous customers you can speak to, and get a written, itemised quote before you agree to anything.
Our promise to you
Getting quotes through us is completely free, and there is no obligation to accept any quote.
We share your details only with the builders we pass your enquiry to, as explained in our privacy policy.
If anything goes wrong with a builder you found through us, we want to hear about it.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sussex Builder carry out the building work?+
No. We are not a building company and we do not employ builders, so the work is always quoted for and carried out by the independent local builder you choose to hire.
Why is it worth getting more than one quote?+
A single price gives you nothing to compare it with. Seeing several quotes side by side shows you how prices and approaches differ, makes it easier to understand what the work involves and helps you choose a builder you are comfortable with.
What should I check before I choose a builder?+
Ask each builder what insurance they hold, such as public liability cover, and ask to see the documents before work starts. It is also worth asking for photos or addresses of similar jobs they have finished, the details of previous customers you can speak to, and a written, itemised quote before you agree to anything.
Who do you share my details with?+
We share your details only with the builders we pass your enquiry to. Our privacy policy explains how your information is handled.
What if something goes wrong with a builder I found through you?+
We want to hear about it, so call 01273 115520 or email info@sussexbuilder.co.uk. You hire the builder directly, which is why doing your own checks and getting a clear written quote before work starts matters so much.
