Apex Building and Groundworks Ltd is a West Berkshire general contractor delivering foundations, extensions, driveways and full renovations — engineered properly, completed on time, and built to outlast the warranty.
From the first dig of the footings to the final coat of paint, our directly employed teams handle the lot — no mixed messages, no inflated sub-contractor margins, no surprises on the invoice.
Strip footings, raft slabs, pile-and-beam and deep drainage — engineered to Building Control and signed off properly.
Single-storey rear extensions, two-storey side returns and full knock-throughs — designed to add real square footage and real value.
Block paving, tarmac, resin-bound and permeable systems — all properly sub-based and edged so they survive British winters.
Period property restoration in Thatcham, Newbury and the surrounding villages — bring a tired Berkshire home back to life.
Industrial units, retail fit-outs and agricultural builds across West Berkshire — programmed around your operations, not the other way round.
Ongoing care for landlords, estates and commercial portfolios — one local number for everything that needs fixing.
Apex Building and Groundworks Ltd was founded on a simple belief: that proper groundworks and honest project management are the foundation of every successful build. For nearly two decades we've worked across Thatcham, Newbury, Hungerford and the wider West Berkshire area — from minor domestic drainage to substantial commercial developments.
Based on London Road in Benham Hill, our directly employed teams cover every trade in-house. That means a single point of contact, a fixed programme, and accountability from breaking ground to the final snag list. We're fully insured, Constructionline registered, and proud of the relationships we've built with local architects, surveyors and homeowners.
Every Apex project follows the same disciplined route — keeping you informed, keeping budgets tight, and keeping the site safe and tidy throughout.
We come out to your property in or around Thatcham, listen properly to what you want to achieve, and talk through budget, design and timescales openly.
You receive an itemised, fixed-price quotation — not an estimate. No vague allowances, no hidden day-rates, no surprise extras once we start.
We agree a realistic programme with clear milestones. Our directly employed teams arrive on the dates we promise, with the right plant and materials.
We walk the finished job with you, complete every snag to your standard, and hand over a clean, fully documented and guaranteed build.
