Choosing MG Builders Leicester Ltd

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas around Leicester do you cover?

We cover Leicester and surrounding areas within roughly a 15-mile radius for standard visits and consultations. If you’re further out, we can still take on work, but there will be an additional travel and consultation charge. If you tell us your postcode, we’ll confirm what applies before arranging a visit.

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes, we take on small jobs as well as larger projects, including property maintenance works and targeted improvements around the home or commercial premises. If you have a smaller repair, update, or finishing job that needs a professional builder in Leicester, get in touch and we’ll advise the best next step after a site visit.

Can you work while we live in?

Yes, we regularly complete renovations and extensions while clients remain living on-site. We use dust protection and carry out daily clean-downs to keep disruption as controlled as possible. We’ll also talk through access and day-to-day practicalities on site so you can continue your routine with less stress.

Do you coordinate design and plans?

Yes, we coordinate design and architectural plans as part of our design and build delivery, so you’re not left trying to manage multiple contacts yourself. Where specialised input is needed, we use established contacts to support the design process while keeping the coordination arranged through us. This helps keep your project organised from the early stages.

Do you do residential and commercial work?

Yes, we work on both residential and commercial projects, supporting homeowners as well as business owners who need building work completed to a professional standard. From home builds, renovations, and extensions to commercial construction, we adapt to the property type and the way the space needs to function once finished.

Do you offer same-day emergency call-outs?

We provide same-day emergency call-outs within Leicester. If you are outside Leicester, we can still assist where possible, but extra charges apply. The best approach is to call us straight away, explain what’s happening, and we’ll advise the quickest practical route.

Are you fully insured for building work?

Yes, we hold public liability insurance and employer’s liability insurance. This supports peace of mind for homeowners and businesses when booking building services, renovations, commercial construction, or maintenance works. If you have specific requirements for your site, mention them when you contact us so we can confirm the right approach.

What’s included in extensions and loft conversions?

We provide a complete service for house extensions and loft conversions, covering the main building stages and coordinating the trades needed to finish the space properly. For extensions, we also complete the household drainage connection where required. Whether you’re adding living space, a bedroom, or a functional upgrade, we work to deliver a clean, well-finished result.

Can you manage a full home renovation?

Yes, we handle general home renovations including internal and external work, and we can coordinate multiple trades so the project feels joined-up rather than fragmented. Many clients hire us because they want one builder in Leicester who can manage plastering, electrics, plumbing, flooring, and finishing without constant handovers. We keep communication practical and focused on progress.

Do you install kitchens and bathrooms?

Yes, we install kitchens and bathrooms as part of our residential building services, including the practical work needed to make the space function properly. We can handle the fitting, associated plumbing, electrical work, and finishing so the room looks clean and works as intended. We’ll talk through your layout and usage needs during the visit.

Do you offer plastering and brickwork services?

Yes, plastering and brickwork are part of our core building work, whether you need them for a new build, an extension, a renovation, or repair work. Clients often come to us when they want smooth internal finishes, tidy structural updates, or brickwork that blends well with the existing property. We’ll assess the condition on site and advise the best method.

Can you do roofing work and repairs?

Yes, we carry out roofing as part of our building services, including repairs and roof-related work on homes and suitable commercial properties. If you’re dealing with weather damage or persistent issues, we’ll inspect the roof area, explain what needs attention, and complete the work with a focus on a neat, secure finish.

Do you install flooring and underfloor heating?

Yes, we install flooring and can also install underfloor heating where it suits the project. Many clients choose this during renovations, extensions, or new builds because it improves comfort and helps modernise the home. We’ll discuss what works best for your rooms and coordinate the installation alongside the rest of the building work.

Do you build driveways, patios, and paving?

Yes, we construct driveways and complete paving and patio work, including outdoor tiling. If you want a cleaner entrance, more parking practicality, or a better outdoor living area, we can help with design, preparation, and installation. We focus on hard landscaping finishes that look smart and function well in daily use.

Do you do fencing, turfing, and hard landscaping?

Yes, we install fencing, carry out hard landscaping, and can complete turfing as part of garden and external work. Clients often hire us to improve privacy, create usable outdoor space, or refresh worn areas with practical surfaces. We focus on the built elements of the garden rather than planting or garden design features.

Can you handle commercial shop and office projects?

Yes, we take on commercial construction work including shops, offices, and off-licence stores, as well as other commercial enquiries. We understand that businesses need spaces that are practical, durable, and ready to operate, so we focus on producing a clean, professional finish. Tell us what you do and how you use the space, and we’ll guide the next steps.

How do you keep the site clean?

We take cleanliness seriously, especially when clients are living on-site during renovations or extensions. We use dust protection measures and carry out daily clean-downs to keep the space safer and more comfortable. Good site habits also help the work run smoother, because access stays organised and areas remain workable.

Can you manage projects with my trades?

Yes, we offer construction project management even if you already have your own trades arranged. Clients choose this when they want a builder to coordinate timings, keep quality consistent, and solve practical issues quickly as they arise. We can visit promptly, assess the scope, and help organise the work so the job progresses without unnecessary delays.

Do you offer insulation for homes?

Yes, we provide loft insulation and internal wall insulation for homes, including older properties where comfort is a priority. We’ll assess what’s suitable for your rooms, carry out the installation neatly, and leave the area tidy afterwards. Many clients notice a clear improvement in warmth and reduced draughts once the insulation is in place.

Can you work beyond Leicester radius?

Yes, we can work outside Leicester and beyond the 15-mile radius, but a travel and consultation charge applies. If you’re unsure whether your location falls inside the standard area, share your postcode when you contact us and we’ll confirm what applies. We prefer to be clear upfront so there are no surprises.

How do I start my enquiry?

You can start by calling or emailing us with a short description of what you need, the property location, and any key details you already know. We’ll arrange a site visit where appropriate, talk through your goals, and advise the most practical approach. From there, we can agree the next steps and move the project forward.

What types of projects do you accept?

We accept a wide range of residential and commercial building work, including new home builds, renovations, extensions, loft conversions, shop and office projects, insulation, external works, and property maintenance. Clients hire us for both larger construction and smaller improvements because we can adapt to what the property needs. If you’re unsure whether your job fits, contact us and we’ll advise.
