At Care Home Builders, we’ve been delivering high-quality care home construction projects across Berkshire for over two decades. Whether you’re planning a new build in Reading, extending an existing facility in Slough, or upgrading a care home in Windsor, our experienced team offers a comprehensive design-and-build service tailored to your specific needs. We work exclusively in the care sector, which means every layout, every detail, and every finish is planned with residents, carers, and operational teams in mind.
New Build Care Homes
From small residential homes to larger care villages, we build homes that feel warm, comfortable and easy to live and work in. We’ve supported both private operators and care groups in Newbury, Maidenhead, and Bracknell, delivering projects that meet modern care standards and feel like home from the very first day.
Refurbishment & Compliance Upgrades
Older buildings often need to adapt, whether it’s to meet changing CQC requirements or to improve safety, access, and resident well-being. We carry out full and partial refurbishments across Berkshire, from bedroom upgrades and fire safety improvements to accessible bathrooms and updated communal spaces.
Extensions & Facility Upgrades
Need to increase capacity or create new therapy rooms, lounges, or wet rooms? We deliver seamless extensions that blend with your existing building, whether you’re in Wokingham, Ascot, or a more rural Berkshire setting. Every addition is planned to meet your operational goals without disrupting day-to-day care.
Care-Focused Design Support
We’re not just care home builders; we understand how good design supports safer care, better staff workflows, and a more comfortable home environment. From early feasibility through to layout planning and material choices, we help you shape a home that works now and in the long term.
At Care Home Builders, we build long-term partnerships with the people who run them. Our focus on the care sector alone, combined with over 20 years of hands-on experience, means we understand the pressures, priorities, and standards that matter most. Across Berkshire, from Reading to Windsor, we’ve worked with a range of operators, from family-run homes to national care providers, and we know that no two projects are the same. That’s why we approach every build or refurbishment with a clean sheet, an open mind, and a commitment to getting the details right. Whether you’re building from scratch, extending an existing facility, or upgrading for regulatory compliance, we bring sector-specific expertise and practical know-how to the table from day one.
A Care Home Construction Partner you can rely on
When you work with us, you’re not just hiring builders, you’re gaining a team that understands how care homes really work. Our network comprises structural engineers, healthcare-focused architects, M&E consultants, and project managers who understand the distinction between merely erecting walls and creating a space that supports genuine care. We’re here to guide you through more than just the build. We can:
Help you navigate the planning process and meet care-sector regulations
Work with local authorities in Berkshire to ensure design, access and safety standards are met
Keep your project on track, delivered on time and within budget, without cutting corners.

Berkshire has become one of the most sought-after places in the South East for building and investing in care homes, and it's not hard to see why. With a strong economy, towns that are well connected and a rapidly growing elderly population, the county makes for a pretty attractive prospect for anyone looking to expand, upgrade or modernise their care facilities in the long term.
The demand for high-quality residential and nursing care in Berkshire keeps on rising. As families begin to look for modern, comfortable and well-equipped care homes that are close to their loved ones, operators are starting to see the need to upgrade or extend their existing buildings to meet the growing demand.
Loads of the older care homes in Berkshire were built before modern CQC and accessibility standards even came into being, which means they're in dire need of a refurb or a rebuild to bring them up to speed. By putting money in now, you can meet the care standards of today and the expectations of tomorrow all in one go.
Berkshire's location offers a perfect balance as it's close enough to London for when you need to pop in, but surrounded by all the calm, greenery, and bustling towns like Reading, Maidenhead, Bracknell and Newbury to really call home.
The excellent road and rail links (M4, M25, A34 and there's a direct train to Paddington), making it pretty easy for families to drop by, staff to commute to work and suppliers to get their goods delivered in no time. This convenience makes Berkshire a top pick for care home investors looking for that all-important stability and long-term growth in the South East.
There's no shortage of opportunities to give old properties and underused land in Berkshire a complete overhaul. We're talking former hospitals, big residential plots and empty commercial land getting transformed into high-end care facilities that are precisely what people need.
Our team works with developers and care operators to identify the best potential sites, figure out what might work and design solutions that really make the most of the space available. That might be a full-on new build, a phased refurbishment project or an extension that keeps existing homes running throughout construction.
Local authorities across Berkshire, such as Windsor and Maidenhead, Reading and Bracknell Forest, support developments that genuinely put sustainability and the well-being of their communities at the top of their agenda.
We guide our clients through the process of meeting these priorities by simply designing in features like low energy inspired designs, renewable systems and layouts that really think about people. This whole package creates a better place to live for residents and cuts down on running costs in the long run.
By bringing together the very best in modern design, up-to-date sustainable tech and an inside track on planning policy, we help bring forward projects that not only meet all the regulatory standards but also improve the fabric of Berkshire's towns and villages.
Berkshire's got a great mix of established towns and growing communities, making it the perfect place to invest in long-term care.
Whether you're looking at building from scratch, expanding capacity, or just giving an old place a modern makeover, Care Home Builders will help you get the most out of your site by making sure you've got a safe, welcoming and forward thinking care environment that's ready for whatever the future of care brings.
