Highlights

"Hayward Developments have just completed our extension and we couldn't be happier! This was our first significant building project. Ben, Jack and the whole team communicated clearly throughout - keeping us informed at every stage of the project. At the end of each day, the site was always left clean and tidy. Our extension was completed on time and on budget. We'll definitely use Hayward Developments for any future work and have no hesitation in recommending their services. Thanks again!"

"Hayward Developments has done an incredible job on our loft conversion. Jack and Ben were so easy to plan and communicate with — always clear on what was happening when. The work was done timely and to a high quality, which is difficult to find. I felt confident every step of the way for what was a huge project on our house and I am over the moon with how it has turned out. I will be definitely using them for our downstairs extension and would highly recommend them to any friend or family of mine."

"We couldn’t be happier with the work carried out by the Hayward team. From start to finish, they truly went above and beyond. The quality of the workmanship on our extension was fantastic, and we were so impressed that we’ve since brought them back to complete additional jobs around our home. What really stood out was their patience and professionalism. We changed our minds a few times along the way, but nothing was ever too much trouble—they always had a solution and took the time to talk us through the options. Reliable, skilled, and a pleasure to work with. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommen"

Smart checks

Before you hire a builder

Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
