Builders in Bristol
Looking for a builder in Bristol? Tell us about your job and we will pass it to up to five local tradespeople. They can send you a quote, and you choose the one you like. The service is free, and you never have to accept a quote.
Quotes help because prices differ between tradespeople, even for the same job. Comparing a few takes the guesswork out of what is fair. Our service covers Bristol and the areas around it.
What does a builder in Bristol charge?
Price guides from Bestbuilders and Trade2base put a labourer at about £120 to £200 a day and a bricklayer at about £180 to £300. Builders often quote single-storey extensions at about £1,800 to £3,500 per square metre, before VAT and fees.
These figures are a guide, because the real price depends on the size and difficulty of your job. A written quote for your own job is the only reliable way to budget. Prices also change over time, so treat any guide as a starting point.

How to choose a builder in Bristol
We do not employ, vet or guarantee the tradespeople who respond, so check them yourself before you agree to anything. Ask for ID, proof of insurance and a written quote, and read recent reviews on independent sites. A good builder will expect these questions.
Membership of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) and registration with TrustMark are two well-known schemes. Both have online searches, so you can confirm a builder’s membership.
Our guide to finding a tradesman you can trust explains each check step by step. It also lists the warning signs that suggest you should walk away.
