  Hi @Suse_Crosby welcome to the community! Sorry to hear that you previously had  a bad experience! Have you enquired via Checkatrade at all?

  Thanks, I will use them if I have to but the Council are fussy and usually only want builders who’ve done adaptations before - which is why I thought I’d ask here!

  Hi @Suse_Crosby
  
  A warm welcome.
  
  You should speak to your local building control officers and ask for their recommendations for a builder.
  
  These people are the ones who carry out site visit to inspect the work being done on your property.
  
  That is what we did and got a good builder, who did a brilliant job.

  Hi Richard, thank you yes I have that already. We're in the system and that's why we're at the seeking quotes for the work stage. I was just keen to hear if anyone had any recommendations or indeed builders to avoid!

  Hi April, thanks - have done that, they have suggested a couple but one was the company who almost destroyed our house before. They obviously have a short memory!
