Choosing a quality contractor can be hard in a landscape of uncertainty. We recommend looking for contractors that are accredited by independent associations such as FMB (Federation of Master Builders) and Which? Trusted Traders. You can check the FMB website to find the listing for the contractor in question. Once you’ve found an accredited contractor, you can get additional peace of mind by asking for referrals and examples of past work.

At TH Developments, we’re always happy to show off our recent projects and put you in touch with happy clients. Our founder is also the president of the Midlands division for the FMB, and you can view our listing here.

Start by bringing your builder a clear idea of what you want and work out a set budget for the works. The more detail your plans have, the better. At TH Developments, we can take your ideas and create a plan of action to help you manage the project step by step, with a simple payment schedule to keep your budget in check.

We take over the project management side of things, so you don’t have to worry about contractor timelines, liaising with suppliers, ordering raw materials, or dealing with unexpected issues as they arise.

The best way to budget for a renovation project is by gathering itemized quotes for the different services you require – we recommend getting quotes from at least three different contractors! Make sure to give each contractor the same brief and get the quote in writing. Compare quotes like-for-like and remember that the cheapest isn’t always the best! Quotes that are significantly lower can be a red flag for scammers and traders that aren’t VAT registered.

As a ballpark, our service pages contain information about the price range for common renovation projects such as kitchen and bathroom installations. For more complex projects, feel free to get in touch with us for a no-obligation quote.
