What does a general builder do?

A general builder typically oversees and carries out a wide range of construction and maintenance work, including:

Home extensions and loft conversions
Renovations and refurbishments
Structural alterations and wall removal
Bricklaying, plastering, and rendering
Roof repairs and basic plumbing or electrical coordination

Experienced builders can manage multiple trades, ensuring each phase of your project runs on schedule and complies with building regulations.

Typical costs and day rates

The average general builder day rate in the UK ranges from £200 to £350 per day, depending on experience, project type, and region. For larger works, builders often quote a fixed project price rather than a daily rate.
