Maidenhead Building Services is a local building team covering Maidenhead, Cookham, Bray, Taplow and the wider Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. We carry out house extensions, loft conversions, home renovations, kitchen and bathroom refits, garden rooms and general building work — managing each project as a single coordinated job rather than leaving you to organise separate trades.
Maidenhead has a varied housing stock that spans several eras. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre and the station streets, the inter-war semis of Furze Platt and Cox Green, the post-war estates of Boyn Hill and Braywick, and the larger detached properties of Cookham, Bray and the Thames-side villages all present different building challenges. We have worked across all of it. We know what the local planning environment requires, how the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead building control operates, and what the conservation areas in Cookham, Bray and the surrounding parishes mean for permitted development.
Whether you are planning a rear extension, opening up the ground floor, adding a loft room or bringing a purchased property up to standard, we can help. Get in touch to arrange a visit.
A single storey rear extension is the most consistently transformative building project available to Maidenhead homeowners — particularly for the inter-war semis of Furze Platt, Cox Green and Boyn Hill where the original kitchen and dining areas were never designed for the way families use their homes today. We manage extensions of all types: single storey rear, double storey, side return and wrap-around. We handle structural design, planning applications where required, building regulations and full trade coordination from groundwork to handover. Most single storey extensions fall within permitted development. For properties in conservation areas — Cookham, Bray and parts of the Thames villages — we manage the planning process as a standard part of the project.
Maidenhead’s housing stock covers over a century of construction — from the Victorian terraces of the town centre to the post-war estates on the town’s edges and the larger period properties of the Thames villages. Each era presents different renovation challenges. We manage whole-house refurbishments, open-plan ground floor conversions, period property renovations and purchased property refurbs across the full range. Structural work, services, finishing and trade coordination — all managed as a single project by one team. When something unexpected comes up behind a wall or under a floor, as it sometimes does on older Maidenhead properties, we address it rather than presenting it as a separate problem.
Adding a bedroom without reducing the garden or extending the footprint — a loft conversion is the most cost-effective home improvement available on most Maidenhead properties. The inter-war and post-war semis of Furze Platt, Cox Green and Boyn Hill typically have the roof pitch and internal volume to support a proper double bedroom with en-suite. We carry out dormer, rooflight and hip-to-gable conversions across Maidenhead and the surrounding area. Every conversion is managed from structural assessment through to building regulations certification. We design the en-suite at the structural stage — pipework routed correctly before the floor is laid, not retrofitted into a finished room.
A properly fitted bathroom starts with what you cannot see — the plumbing connections, the waterproofing behind the tiles, and the electrical installations for heated towel rails and ventilation. These hidden elements determine whether the room performs reliably for a decade or starts developing problems within a couple of years. We carry out complete bathroom renovations across St Albans covering strip-out, replumbing, tiling, flooring, electrics, and expert fitting. Suite replacements, full redesigns with layout changes, wet room conversions, and new ensuite creations — we handle every configuration with the same attention to the fundamentals that keep the finished room performing long after the builders have left.
One team, one point of contact, one outcome we are accountable for. We do not subcontract to unknown trades and walk away — we manage the project from first visit to handover and stand behind the finished result.
We give honest quotes based on what the project actually involves. We tell you if something is going to cost more than you expected and why. We do not produce a low figure to win the job and recover the difference through variations once you have committed.
We are fully insured and manage planning applications, building regulations and party wall agreements as standard on projects that require them.
