Builders in Reading

Phone numbers for builders covering Reading — extensions, loft conversions and refurbishment. Open a profile and call the business yourself. This site does not send your job.

Extensions and loft work need more than a day rate. The renovation budget tool can sit beside a local quote. Woodley, Tilehurst and Earley appear on Reading cards. A London firm that treats the Elizabeth line as a service area is not the same as a fitter who already works Caversham Hill. Profiles show a name, the area they cover and a phone number. Public qualifications such as Gas Safe or NICEIC appear only when they are on the profile. Read the cost notes for a sourced national range; a figure on a card is not a quote.

Typical building & conversions costs

Checkatrade’s house-extension guide, per-square-metre table last updated March 2025, is a national sense-check for shell versus finished work. It is not a local tariff. Extensions on the flood fringe have to keep air bricks and may need a floor level raised. A hill extension in Caversham is about the slope and the neighbour's light. Ask them to pick one.

A local rule to check in Reading

Many extensions, loft conversions and structural openings need building control, and some need planning. A listing is not an approval and not a party-wall agreement.

Questions before you phone

How do I find builders in Reading on this list?

Katesgrove is low-lying Victorian housing beside the Kennet. Caversham rises on the north bank, so condensate and drains that work on the flat will not fall the same way up the hill. Names, service areas and phone numbers sit on the cards. Open a profile and call the firm yourself. Woodley, Tilehurst and Earley appear on Reading cards. A London firm that treats the Elizabeth line as a service area is not the same as a fitter who already works Caversham Hill.

Does this page send my job to a Reading building & conversions firm?

No. You place the call. This site does not email or text anyone on your behalf.

What should the written price say for building & conversions in Reading?

Air bricks and floor level, or a sloping garden. Not both by default.

What is easy to miss before booking in Reading?

Flood doors and air bricks near the Kennet must stay clear. A kitchen quote that buries them behind a new plinth is a known local failure.
