Featured Reviews for Builders in Reading, Berkshire

Houseline Construction Ltd
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 January 2024
“I chose Houseline Construction after talking to at least 3 of their references in detail, and I am pleased I was not disappointed. They delivered on time and mostly on budget, the team was polite and extremely hard working , I would have no problem in recommending them to anyone”
Aspen Design & Build
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 January 2021
“I used Aspen for our project, it was our second move from a flat to a house. We bought a house which required a complete refurbishment, in addition we decided to extend the property to the rear along with a loft conversion. The works took 8 months to complete as the entire house was gutted along with front and rear garden landscaping. Aspen were exceptional to work with from start to finish, very accommodating with some additional alterations which we decided to carry out during the build. We would highly recommend Aspen especially as no compromise was taken with our previous home.”
David Bonnick General Building Services
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 January 2017
“Dave completed a full extension at the back of our house. He was extremely professional throughout and both his own team and subcontractors were really friendly and respectfully. Dave ensured that each night the site was tidied and there was not an accumulation of builders rubbish left around the outside of the property. He was full of little ideas that helped tweak the internals to great effect. . We also did not have to project manage the build as Dave took care of this. Since the completion of the build, Dave has stayed in touch and helped out with any additional snagging or issues we have had. I would definitely recommend him not just for the quality of his work but also for who he engaged with us and made the project really straight forward.”
Inspiral BNK
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 April 2023
“Inspiral have now delivered two projects for us and on both occasions the quality of service has been simply outstanding. The latest project was turning a bedroom into a bathroom and turning the bathroom into a study/gaming room. This was a highly complex project that required brilliant project management as well as highly skilled professionals including plumbers, electricians, tilers, decorators etc. The quality of service and professional capability was of the highest possible standard and I could not recommend Inspiral highly enough. They are brilliant professionals and very nice people as well. Thank you Inspiral!”

“Professional company with an experienced team. I recommend T.W.M.H Developments due to their outstanding commitment to being sustainable through being professional, caring, supportive, and responsive to the end customer's requirements. The quality produced by the team can be seen on social media posts so I say, look them up, you won't be disappointed.”
Oak Lofts & Extensions Ltd
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 March 2019
“Last year, Greg and his team did my home extension which required several steels and large expanse of sliding windows. They put in a new ensuite bathroom, flooring, shelving and a patio and decking in the garden amongst many other bits of work. He and his team were extremely reliable, produced work to a high quality and were fantastic at problem solving. Greg went out of his way to ensure I was happy with the work and was a pleasure to liaise with. He invariably answered the phone when I called and if not available would get back to me very quickly without needing to be chased. I can highly recommend Greg and his team and plan to use them again in the very near future.”
Partnership Construction LTD
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 October 2022
“Couldn’t recommend Partnership Construction LTD enough, they completed my house renovation back in April. From start to finish they was efficient, polite, kept to deadlines and did an all round amazing job. Would definitely use them again in the future with any other work needed.”
PV James Construction Ltd
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 November 2014
“We have used this construction company over the last few years and they have done some great work for us - the last job an excellent bathroom. We live in an old house and things not always straight forward. The contractors are always very pleasant and polite. We are confident that a job will be completed and we would never be left with something unfinished. A big bonus is that Pel will always reply to messages.”

Oldfield Construction
Builders in Reading, Berkshire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 May 2019
“Oldfield Construction gave us the best quote for our kitchen extension and we liked the attitude and professionalism of the team that we met. The build ran smoothly and we were kept frequently updated of any changes and or issues. They were knowledgable and helped us make decisions on all aspects of the build. The finish on the interior is amazing and the outside looks great against the rest of the house. Would thoroughly recommend them.”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Reading:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.

After choosing either option, you can reach out to the builders you want to discuss your project with. You can request and compare quotes before hiring the right builder for you.
When looking for a Reading building company to take on your project, you will want to know that they will be able to handle the job in good time and sticking to your agreed budget. A professional contractor will have worked on projects like yours previously and they will know exactly what to do.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Reading that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way. If you can, you could try to see previous projects and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, recommendations and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects. All of which you can find on Houzz.
