Brilliant builders you can trust

Behind every one of our renovations is a brilliant builder — carefully chosen, quality-checked, matched purposefully.

We only work with the top 1% of builders in London, so you can feel confident your home is in safe hands.

Build with the best

We work with some of the best independent builders in London — people who are not just skilled, but also dependable, respectful, and good to have around.

Before they join our network, every builder goes through a multi-stage vetting process:

  • Proof of insurance and qualifications
  • In-person interview
  • Reference checks with past clients
  • On-site inspection of recent work
  • Ongoing performance and quality checks

A great match makes all the difference

Once we understand your goals, your space, and your timeline, we’ll match you with the builder who’s best suited to bring your vision to life.

Every builder we introduce you to:

  • Is already briefed on your project
  • Works regularly with our designers
  • Has experience with homes like yours
  • Has time in their calendar to start soon

You’ll meet them before work begins and if it’s not quite the right fit, we’ll happily match you with someone else.

You’ll work with your builder directly

Once you’ve chosen your builder, they’ll be your day-to-day contact throughout the build. That way, nothing gets lost in translation and you can build a strong working relationship from day one.
You’ll agree the details upfront, and if anything needs to change mid-build, we’ll support you both to update the plan smoothly.

Your builder, backed by Beams

While you and your builder get the work done, we stay behind the scenes keeping everything on track.

We handle:

  • Scopes of work and final decisions before build begins
  • Delivery of all materials to site
  • Payment scheduling tied to clear milestones
  • Smart tools to manage delays and reduce admin
  • Check-ins at key points to make sure progress stays on course

So you get peace of mind — and your builder gets the space to do great work.

Payment only when the work is done

You’ll never pay the full build cost upfront. Instead, we hold the funds securely and release them in stages, once each milestone is complete and you’ve signed it off.

It’s a fairer, safer way to pay — for you and for your builder.

Built-in protections

Every builder is fully insured, and every renovation comes with a 12-month workmanship warranty. So if anything’s not quite right once the dust has settled, we’ll help make it right.
