Trusted builders in Harborne delivering quality results
Harborne's streets are defined by their Victorian and Edwardian character, from the terraces and villas around Harborne Old Village conservation area to the distinctive bay-windowed homes of the Moor Pool estate, one of the earliest Garden City-influenced developments in the country. HK Builders Ltd has spent over 20 years working on properties like these, and it shows in the detail — matching cornicing, keeping ceiling heights consistent through an extension, or working around a layout that was never designed with modern living in mind.
As an FMB-registered company, we take on extensions, loft conversions, renovations and new builds across Harborne, alongside the trade work that sits underneath every project: bricklaying, roofing, plastering and carpentry. Period homes often throw up surprises once work starts, so our approach is to plan thoroughly at the outset and stay upfront with you if anything changes.
Birmingham City Council is the planning authority for Harborne, and that matters more here than in many areas given the conservation status around the Old Village and the character of the Moor Pool estate. We factor this into how we scope a project from the first conversation, so you're not caught out by a requirement further down the line.
Whatever the scale of the work, our aim is the same: a tidy site, clear communication and a finished result that sits comfortably within a Harborne street.
All-in-One Building Services in Harborne
Rather than bringing in separate contractors for each stage, HK Builders manages the whole job ourselves — design input, construction, and every trade in between. For a Harborne project that usually means working sympathetically with existing brickwork and period detailing rather than against it.
Our trades cover bricklaying, roofing, plastering, carpentry, decorating and landscaping, so one team carries a project from foundations to final finish. That continuity matters on older properties especially, where decisions made early — like how a new opening ties into existing walls — affect how the finished room looks and feels.
Local Expertise and Reliable Results
Working regularly in and around Harborne means we've got a feel for how its housing stock goes together — the proportions typical of Moor Pool's garden-suburb homes, the detailing expected near the Old Village conservation area, and what Birmingham City Council will want to see at application stage.
On site, that translates into straightforward things: keeping the area tidy, sticking to the schedule we agree with you, and giving you a point of contact rather than a rotating cast of subcontractors. It's a simple formula, but it's the one that keeps Harborne homeowners coming back to us for the next project.

The cost of building work in Harborne depends on the size, scope and specification of the project, so there is no single fixed price. Factors such as structural work, materials, finishes and site access all affect the final figure. The best way to get an accurate cost for your project is to request a free, no-obligation quote so we can assess your requirements in person.
It depends on the type and scale of work. Many smaller projects, such as single-storey rear extensions within set limits, can fall under permitted development rights and not require full planning permission, while larger extensions, new builds or work on listed buildings usually do. Building regulations approval is separate from planning permission and applies to most structural work regardless. We can advise on what's needed for your specific project in Harborne and help guide you through the process.
