What Cambridge homeowners say about us
We couldn’t be happier with the transformation of our ground floor. Camshine Builders recently completed a large-format floor tiling project for us in our Cambridge City Centre home, and the result is simply stunning. The team’s precision with these massive tiles created a virtually seamless finish that has completely modernized our open-plan kitchen and living area. Their attention to detail, especially around the kitchen island and the new bi-fold doors, was impeccable. We highly recommend them for any professional tiling work in Cambridge.
Highly professional and skilled tilers. We hired Camshine Builders to install large-format porcelain tiles in our hallway and kitchen extension in Trumpington. The job was complex due to the scale of the tiles and the need to level the floor perfectly, but the team executed it flawlessly. The finished floor is beautiful and incredibly easy to maintain. If you are looking for expert large-format tiling in Cambridge, these are the guys to call.
An outstanding service from start to finish. Camshine Builders installed large-format grey stone-effect tiles throughout the entire ground floor of our property in Great Shelford. The quality of the installation is top-tier; the lines are perfectly straight, and the large tiles make the space feel much bigger. They were clean, efficient, and delivered exactly what they promised. We are extremely pleased with the professional tiling finish and would definitely use them again.

Common questions about building in Cambridge
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Cambridge?
Not always. Many single storey rear extensions and some loft conversions fall under permitted development. Homes in a conservation area, listed buildings, flats and larger extensions usually need permission from Greater Cambridge Shared Planning (Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire). We check this on our first visit.
How much does a house extension cost in Cambridge?
It depends on size, design, ground conditions and finish. We give every client a free, itemised quote after a site visit, so you know the real figure for your home rather than a national average.
Which areas around Cambridge do you cover?
Cambridge city and neighbourhoods such as Chesterton, Cherry Hinton, Romsey and Trumpington, plus villages including Cambourne, Histon, Sawston, Girton and Milton, and towns such as Ely, St Ives and Huntingdon.
Can you handle the whole project, including kitchens, bathrooms and flooring?
Yes. Our team covers building work, plastering, carpentry, tiling, kitchen and bathroom fitting, flooring and decorating, so one company manages the job from start to finish.
Are you insured and do you guarantee your work?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and give a written [X-year] workmanship guarantee.
