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

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.
Before starting, request detailed written quotes outlining materials, labour, and timescales. Comparing quotes from several builders helps ensure you’re getting fair, transparent pricing.
