Small Builder in Rickmansworth

A small, hands-on builder you can rely on

If you’re looking for a builder who turns up, keeps the place tidy and talks to you like a human being, AKB Construction is a great fit. We’re a small, owner-led team in Rickmansworth carrying out carefully finished work on homes across the area. You’ll deal with the same people from first visit to final handover, which makes decisions faster and the finish more consistent.

What we do (day-to-day and weekend jobs alike)ve

  • Kitchen design & installation — rip-out, first fix, units, worktops, tiling and flooring, with close attention to alignment and finishing.

  • Bathroom installation & renovations — waterproofing, sanitaryware, shower enclosures, tiling, lighting and ventilation.

  • Home refurbishments — re-planning spaces, new flooring, joinery, plastering and decorating in one coordinated schedule.

  • Small extensions & conversions — kitchen diners, utility rooms, garage and loft conversions, including RSJs and insulation upgrades.

  • Plastering & making good — skimming, patching and full-room finishes ready for painting.

  • Custom carpentry — doors, skirting, alcove storage, media walls and built-ins that actually fit the room.

How we work

  1. Listen & advise — a site visit to understand how you use the space and what matters most.

  2. Clear written quote — scope, sequence and what’s included so there are no surprises.

  3. Schedule & protection — dust control, floor protection and tidy daily wrap-ups.

  4. Regular updates — short check-ins and photos if you’re away.

  5. Snag-free handover — waste removed and care notes for specialist finishes.

Straightforward pricing and paperwork

We keep overheads lean so more of your budget goes into skilled labour and materials. You’ll get transparent pricing, staged timelines and change notes if anything shifts on site. Electrical and gas works are carried out by qualified trades, with the right certificates on completion.
