Builders in Basingstoke
What the job usually looks like here.
A lot of general building work in Basingstoke is remedial before it is anything else. The estate housing from the 1960s and 70s was built quickly and to the standards of the day, so it is common to open something up and find a lintel that was never right, a cavity bridged with mortar droppings, or a roof spread that has been quietly moving for forty years. We price for what we can see and we tell you the same day if we find something we could not.
A typical Basingstoke job for us starts with a survey of what is already there rather than a price for what you want. On the estate stock we open up a section of wall or lift a floorboard before quoting, because the difference between a house built in 1968 to a good standard and one built the same year to a poor one is not visible from the pavement. The town also has a lot of houses where a previous owner has already had work done — a conservatory on a slab with no footings, a garage converted without a membrane — and inheriting that is part of the job.

Do you work on the Basingstoke estates as well as the older properties?
Both, and the estates are where most of our work is. Popley, Brighton Hill, South Ham, Winklebury, Oakridge and Chineham are all regular ground for us. The estate housing is generally straightforward to build on once you know what is behind the plasterboard, which is why we look first and quote second.
How soon could you start a job in Basingstoke?
Usually four to eight weeks from accepting a quote, depending on the size and whether it needs a planning decision first. Basingstoke is fifteen minutes from the yard so we can get out and look at it within a few days of you ringing.
