Your local builders in Hertfordshire
Based in Radlett and working right across Hertfordshire, VZ Builders have delivered new-build homes, extensions, renovations and bespoke joinery for families throughout the county for over 30 years. From Radlett and Elstree in the south, to St Albans and Harpenden in the north, and out to Bushey, Watford, Rickmansworth and Berkhamsted in the west, our team works across every corner of the county.
Most of our Hertfordshire work comes from returning clients and their neighbours. That tells us most of what we need to know about how we’re doing.

Local knowledge that matters across Hertfordshire
Understanding the county we work in.
Hertfordshire is one of England’s most desirable commuter counties, with a housing stock that ranges from Georgian and Victorian townhouses in St Albans and Berkhamsted, to substantial post-war family homes in Radlett and Chorleywood, to contemporary new builds across the region. Working here means understanding a few things that a builder from further afield often doesn’t.
- Multiple planning authorities. Hertfordshire is divided across ten district councils including Hertsmere, St Albans, Three Rivers, Dacorum and Welwyn Hatfield. Each has its own rules and its own approach. We work daily with all of them.
- The Metropolitan Green Belt. A significant portion of Hertfordshire falls within the Green Belt, which affects extensions, replacement dwellings and outbuildings. We know how to navigate the constraints.
- Conservation and character areas. From the medieval streets of St Albans to the Georgian centre of Berkhamsted, much of Hertfordshire’s housing stock sits within conservation areas. We work sympathetically to preserve architectural character.
- Period property expertise. Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war family homes across the county require specialist knowledge. Three decades of working here means we understand the fabric of these buildings.
- Local trades and specialists. After 30 years working across Hertfordshire, we know the local architects, structural engineers and specialist trades to bring in when a project needs them.
