General Building for homes in Caversham.
Looking for general building in Caversham? J.C General Builders is a family-run father-and-son team — James and Callum Weir — covering Caversham and the rest of Berkshire. The people who quote your job are the people who turn up and do it.
General building is the heart of what we do. James and Callum are hands-on tradesmen, so whether it's a single wall coming down, a garage being brought back into use or a full property refurbishment, the people quoting the job are the people doing the job.
We handle the whole thing — structural openings and steels, blockwork and brickwork, roofing repairs, plastering, first and second fix, and making good afterwards. One team, one point of contact, and a site left tidy at the end of every day.
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.

General Building in Caversham — common questions
- Do you take on small jobs?
- Yes. Plenty of our work starts as a half-day repair. If it's genuinely too small to be worth a trip we'll say so honestly rather than pad the price.
- Are you insured?

- Do you handle Building Regulations?
- Where the work needs it, yes. We deal with Building Control inspections and can point you towards a structural engineer or architect if drawings are required.
