Family-run London builders since 2008 · All 32 boroughs
We build the room your house has been missing
Extensions, loft conversions, refurbishments and new builds — one contract, one named project manager, and you pay in arrears of work completed.

Why people put it off
Everyone knows someone whose builder did this
Six things go wrong on London building jobs — and every one is a contract problem before it is a building problem. We solve all six on paper, before anyone lifts a tool.
The £40k that became £70k
Variations priced after the fact, with nothing in writing to argue with.
Three weeks, then silence
The team vanishes onto a better-paying job and nobody answers the phone.
It failed building control
The certificate never comes — discovered when a buyer's solicitor asks.
The deposit went in first
A big payment up front, then a slow start, then a slower one.
Six trades, no manager
Everyone blames the last trade. You end up running the site yourself.
That was not in the quote
Skips, scaffolding, making good — everything a real scope should have named.
Side by side
The SS Builders way — against the way it usually goes
Same job, same house, same money. The difference is what exists on paper before the first skip arrives.
Itemised and agreed before any deposit is discussed
You pay for work completed and inspected — never for promises
One person, one number, accountable for the programme
Stage-by-stage photographs — see it without ringing
Applications, inspections, and the completion certificate
Notices and awards managed before they become disputes
Scaffolding, skips and permits named, priced and arranged
The pack a buyer's solicitor asks for when you sell
No scope, so every omission becomes a variation later
Your leverage disappears the moment you pay it
The site runs itself, badly, and you become the manager
Progress is whatever you are told on the phone
Sign-off becomes your problem at the worst possible time
Until a neighbour's solicitor mentions it for them
The quote grows a skip, a scaffold and a permit mid-job
Nothing to show the surveyor when you sell
The same job at week one, week five and handover — from our project tracking
Project stories
We photograph every stage. Here is a whole job.
Not a gallery of best angles — complete builds, from the first cut in the lawn to handover, told stage by stage in our own photographs.
Why us
Four reasons people stop worrying
Payment in arrears of work
You pay for what is built and inspected — the incentive stays on finishing, which is why our sites don't stand empty.
Our own trades, one contract
Bricklayers to electricians, employed not subcontracted. The junctions between trades are ours to own.
Named project managers
Jagpreet Singh (Sandeep) and Simarjit Singh (Sonu) run the jobs — one person who knows yours, whose number you have.
Paperwork you keep
Building control sign-off, Part P certificates, a handover pack. It is what your buyer's solicitor asks for in ten years.
Core services
Four things we do properly
Where we work
Every London borough, east London first
Skip the forms
Send us a photo of the space. That is the whole first step.
A picture and a postcode tells us more than any enquiry form. You will get a straight answer about cost and planning — from the people who would do the work.
