Builders in Reading

J.C General Builders is a father-and-son team covering Reading and the surrounding Berkshire area — from garden walls and patios through to full extensions and refurbishments.

Building work in Reading, done properly.

We've been quoting and building in Reading for years — it's one of the first places we ever worked in Berkshire. There's no site manager and no call centre: you deal with James and Callum directly.

The housing around Reading runs heavily to 1930s semis with side access, with a fair share of large modern detached homes on private roads mixed in. Matching brick, mortar colour and detailing to what's already there matters more here than most people expect.

We do a lot of outdoor work here: sandstone and porcelain patios, block-paved and resin-bound driveways, garden walls and fencing, plus extensions and refurbishments in the older parts of Reading, Newbury and Windsor. Larger plots around Ascot, Sunningdale and Sunninghill usually mean groundwork and drainage before anything else.

Recent Reading enquiries have leaned towards brickwork, though we cover landscaping just as regularly. Garden and retaining walls, piers, chimneys, feature brickwork and repointing — neat lines and clean joints.

Slough, Windsor, Maidenhead are all on the same run for us, which keeps travel costs sensible and means we can get back to snag anything quickly. Give us a rough idea of what you want doing in Reading and we'll take it from there.
