Welcome to Colchester Builders

We are experienced builders serving Colchester and the surrounding Essex area, delivering quality construction projects from extensions and loft conversions to renovations and general building work.

Our approach is straightforward. We listen to what you want to achieve, provide honest advice and realistic quotations, then deliver workmanship that meets the standards we would expect in our own homes. No disappearing mid-project, no unexpected costs, no cutting corners. Just professional building services from a team that takes pride in every job we complete.

We have worked on properties throughout Colchester for years, from Victorian terraces in the town centre to modern developments in Stanway and everything in between. This local experience means we understand the area’s building styles, common challenges, and what works best for homes across the borough.

Whether you are planning a major transformation or need trusted tradespeople for essential repairs, we bring the same commitment to quality and communication. Contact us today to discuss your project and discover why Colchester homeowners recommend us to their friends and family.

Our Key Services

House Extensions

Need more space without the upheaval of moving? A house extension adds valuable room to your Colchester home while keeping you in the area you love. We design and build single storey rear extensions, double storey extensions, side returns, and wrap-around designs tailored to your property and budget. From open-plan kitchen-diners to additional bedrooms and home offices, we manage complete projects from initial planning through to final finishing. Transform how your home works with an extension built to last.

Loft Conversions

Your unused loft space could become a stunning master bedroom, peaceful home office, or additional bathroom. Loft conversions add valuable living accommodation without reducing your garden or extending your footprint. We build Velux conversions, rear dormers, and hip to gable conversions across Colchester, handling all structural work, insulation, electrics, plumbing, and finishing as one complete project. Most loft conversions fall within permitted development, avoiding planning delays and getting you into your new space quickly.

Garden Rooms

A bespoke garden room creates additional space without the disruption of extending your home. Whether you need a dedicated home office, creative studio, private gym, or simply a quiet retreat at the bottom of the garden, we design and build garden rooms to suit your requirements. Our garden rooms are fully insulated for year-round comfort, complete with electrics, heating, and quality finishes. Built on site using proper construction methods, they deliver lasting value for Colchester homeowners seeking flexible extra space.

General Building

Not every building project fits neatly into a category. Our general building services cover the broad range of construction work that Colchester properties need, from structural alterations and brickwork repairs to property maintenance and refurbishments. We handle wall removals, steel beam installations, repointing, rendering, groundwork, and drainage. Whether you have a specific repair that needs attention or want to modernise your property, our experienced team delivers quality workmanship on projects of all sizes. No job too big or small.
