Do I pay Discover Essex to contact a builder?▾

No. There are no introduction fees, no commission, and no paywalls. Browsing the directory and contacting any builder in Leigh-on-Sea is completely free for residents.

Should I pay a builder in stages?▾

Yes — never pay a Leigh-on-Sea builder the full amount upfront. Standard practice is a 10–20% deposit, then staged payments tied to clear milestones (foundations complete, roof on, first fix, second fix, snagging). Hold back 5% for at least 4 weeks after completion.

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Leigh-on-Sea?▾

Many single-storey extensions in Leigh-on-Sea fall within permitted development rights, but anything over 4m depth, taller than 4m, or in a conservation area will need a planning application. Your builder should advise and can usually project-manage the application.

Do builders provide drawings and Building Control?▾

Most Leigh-on-Sea builders work alongside an architect or technician. The builder handles Building Control inspections and certification on your behalf. If they offer a "design-and-build" service this is bundled into the quote.
