Thatcham is a regular working area for us — close enough to Newbury that we're often on both jobs the same week. The town's mix of Saxon-era centre, 20th-century estates and modern Kennet Heath properties means no two Thatcham jobs are the same. ### Coverage across Thatcham All of Thatcham — the historic centre, Kennet Heath, Henwick, Dunston Park, Colthrop and surrounding villages including Cold Ash, Bucklebury, Midgham and Woolhampton. ### Response times 30 minutes from our Tadley yard via the A4. Site visits within 3 working days; emergency callouts same day across both RG18 and RG19 postcodes. ### Property types we know Thatcham has Saxon-era pockets in the centre with very old building stock, Victorian and Edwardian along the main roads, 1960s–1980s estates through Henwick and Colthrop, and modern Kennet Heath properties built post-2000. ### What Thatcham homeowners ask us for Single-storey rear extensions on 1970s semis, garden patios on modern estate properties, repointing and chimney work on older centre-of-town buildings, and full driveway rebuilds where original tarmac has failed.

We've built a steady book of Thatcham clients over the years, especially in Kennet Heath and the older central streets. The reason is simple — we turn up when we say we will, we communicate daily through the build, and the price we quote is the price you pay. No mid-job change-orders unless we genuinely find something nobody could have seen on a site visit. 120+ jobs completed in Thatcham since 2008 30 min from Tadley HQ 5.0 ★ average local Google review 48 hours to written, itemised quote What Thatcham throws at houses ## The four things that wreck Thatcham buildings — and how we handle them. ### Property stock Saxon-era central Thatcham has buildings that have been altered every century since they were built. Hidden lintels, mismatched mortar, varied wall thicknesses — these need a specialist eye, not a generalist with a quote sheet. ### Climate & exposure Thatcham sits in the Kennet valley with high winter humidity. Cellars, basement rooms and ground-floor solid walls all need breathable specifications, not modern plastic-paint-on-render fixes. ### Infrastructure & access Older Thatcham streets are narrow with limited parking. We use smaller skips with West Berkshire permits and coordinate deliveries around the school day to keep things smooth for neighbours. ### Building age & materials A lot of Thatcham housing is reaching 50–60 years old (the post-war and 1960s estate stock). Original roof felts, cavity ties and single-glazed window openings are all due replacement at once — we stage these into a planned programme. Postcodes covered: RG18, RG19 and surrounding Berkshire. Our process ## The same five steps on every Thatcham job. 1. Step 1 ### Site Visit We drive out, walk the site with you, take measurements and photos, and listen to what you actually want. 2. Step 2 ### Written Quote Itemised fixed quote within 48 hours — labour, materials, timings, exclusions all on one page. 3. Step 3 ### Schedule Agreed start date, materials ordered in advance, dust sheets and walkways set up before we lift a tool. 4. Step 4 ### Build Daily progress from your dedicated foreman. Same faces on site every day — no subcontractor merry-go-round. 5. Step 5 ### Sign-Off Final walk-around together, snags fixed on the spot — we don't leave until you're happy. Common questions ## What Thatcham homeowners ask before booking. ### Do you serve all of Thatcham? ### How fast can you reach Thatcham? ### What does an extension cost in Thatcham? ### Do you handle West Berkshire planning? ### Can you work on the older buildings in central Thatcham? ### Do you offer emergency callouts in Thatcham? ### Are you insured? ### How long is the wait for a Thatcham project? ### Can you provide Thatcham references?
