Reading sits at the confluence of the Thames and Kennet on gravel terraces. Good drainage but shallow water tables mean basement conversions often need tanking. The town is effectively a satellite of London now, with commuter wealth driving high-value home improvements across Caversham, Earley, and Woodley. The Station Hill and former Huntley & Palmers factory site are major mixed-use developments.
Extensions and loft conversions in the 1930s suburban belt. Office-to-residential conversions under permitted development in the town centre. Groundworks for new housing on former MOD land at Arborfield. Thames-side property flood protection and landscaping.
