Builders in Braintree
Trusted builders and renovation specialists serving Braintree and the surrounding Essex villages, with one accountable team for every job.
Braintree has grown from a busy Essex market town into a place where period charm sits comfortably alongside modern family living. That mix keeps local builders busy, whether you are opening up a tired Victorian terrace, extending a semi to suit a growing household, or bringing a dated property back to life. At Abbotts Build Hub, we have spent more than 25 years carrying out building and renovation work across Essex, and we understand what homes in and around Braintree need.
We are a building and renovation firm based in nearby Chelmsford, which puts Braintree comfortably within our patch. Rather than juggling separate trades, you deal with one accountable team that handles building, plumbing, electrics and finishing from start to finish. That single point of responsibility keeps your project moving, keeps standards consistent, and means there is always someone answerable for the result.
The homes and projects common in Braintree
Braintree's housing stock tells the story of its wool and silk past. You will find Victorian terraces and older cottages near the town centre and in Bocking, many of which reward careful renovation, rewiring and sensible reconfiguration. Head towards Great Notley and you meet a large stock of modern homes where owners often want extra space, better layouts and improved outdoor areas. Across the CM7 and CM77 districts, the projects we are asked about most include single and double storey extensions, loft conversions, kitchen and bathroom refits, and full house renovations.

What our clients say
“The extension itself is excellent and exactly what we had in mind. There was a short delay waiting on the roof lantern to arrive, though they were upfront about it and cracked on again the moment it landed. Would still recommend them without hesitation.”
“Being someone who gets anxious about this sort of thing, I worried the ceiling might sag once the wall came down. They put in temporary props and explained exactly what was holding what, so I felt safe the whole way through.”
“New sockets where I actually need them and proper lighting under the cupboards. Tidy work.”
“Honest advice from the start. I'd have gone for a stove far too big for the room but they steered me to the right size and it heats the whole downstairs.”
“We no longer use the old fireplace so had the redundant stack taken off altogether. They removed it, tiled over neatly and you'd never know a chimney had been there. The roof looks all the better for it.”
“Our old bathroom always had damp creeping across the ceiling, so a big part of the job was fitting a decent extractor and sorting the ventilation properly, which has worked a treat. The only thing was they turned up a day later than first arranged, though they did ring ahead to let me know. Would still recommend them without hesitation.”
“New fascias, soffits and guttering all round the house. The old ones were rotten and sagging, and the difference now is night and day. Tidy workers who cleared up properly each evening, which we really appreciated with two young kids about.”
“We'd wanted a proper porcelain patio for years and finally took the plunge. The lads laid it beautifully, got the falls spot on so the water runs away from the house, and left the garden cleaner than they found it. We've had family round every weekend since. Thank you both for looking after us so well.”
“Turned my unused roof space into a quiet home office and I actually look forward to Mondays now.”
