General building in East Kilbride

When you’re planning a home improvement, extension, or renovation, an experienced general builder in East Kilbride can make all the difference.

From groundwork and structural work to plastering, roofing, and finishing touches, general builders coordinate every stage of a project to ensure high standards and smooth delivery.

All general builders in East Kilbride listed on Checkatrade are vetted and reviewed by real homeowners, giving you confidence your project is in capable hands.

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

Experienced builders can manage multiple trades, ensuring each phase of your project runs on schedule and complies with building regulations.

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.
