Areas We Cover
Quality building work across Ascot and the Berkshire and Surrey border.
Ascot sits just over the county line in Berkshire, and that border is one we cross most weeks. Prince Builders are a family-run firm covering Ascot (SL5) and the surrounding villages, working across the Surrey and Berkshire border since 1998, with the trade qualifications, certifications and full insurance to back the work. Although we are based in Woking, Ascot is well within our regular patch.
It is worth knowing that Ascot is in Berkshire, not Surrey, so planning here is handled by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead rather than a Surrey council. That makes a difference to how applications are dealt with, and it is the kind of local detail we keep an eye on so your project runs smoothly from the outset.
Ascot is best known for its racecourse, but for us it means large homes, gated properties and green belt land, where the work is high-value and the finish has to be high-spec. We are well used to that, and we treat every Ascot home with the care a property of that calibre deserves.

Prince Builders take on the full range of building work across Ascot and the SL5 area, from a single-room change to a whole-house project. Here is a closer look at what we do and how it tends to play out on the homes around here.
Plenty of the larger plots in North and South Ascot have room to spare at the back or the side, which is why so many owners come to us about home extensions in Ascot. The render-and-glass style is everywhere here, often paired with a roof lantern to flood a kitchen-diner with light, and we build to that brief regularly. On green belt land the footprint is watched closely, so we keep the design within what the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead will accept rather than chasing something that stalls at planning. The finish on these extensions has to sit right against a high-value home, and that is exactly the standard we work to.
The substantial houses in Sunninghill and Cheapside often have generous roof voids that are doing nothing, and a loft is usually the cheapest way to add a proper bedroom or two without touching the garden. We handle loft conversions in Ascot end to end, including the dormers and rooflights that suit the steeper roofs common on the older properties here. Headroom, staircase position and a compliant escape route all get sorted at the design stage. Where a home sits on green belt land we check what the Royal Borough allows before any drawings are finalised.
A kitchen is where most Ascot families spend their day, so it is no surprise this is one of our most frequent jobs. A full kitchen refurbishment in Ascot often goes hand in hand with opening up the back of a Sunningdale or South Ascot house to make one large, light room. We do the building, the services and the making good, then dovetail neatly with your chosen kitchen supplier so the units drop into a space that is square and ready. The high-spec finish these homes call for is what we aim for every time.
Many of the gated properties around Ascot have a double or triple garage that the family has long stopped parking in. Converting one is a quick win, and we turn out garage conversions in Ascot into home offices, gyms, playrooms and annexes to suit how the household actually lives. We sort the insulation, damp-proofing and a floor that matches the rest of the house so the new room never feels like a converted garage. Where the conversion changes the look of the frontage, we check the Royal Borough's position first.
Knocking through to open up a tired, compartmented house is one of the most common requests we get from owners of older Ascot homes. Our structural alterations in Ascot cover steel beams, load-bearing walls and the supporting works that let you join a kitchen, dining room and garden into one flowing space. We bring in a structural engineer, carry out the calculations and see the building control sign-off through to the end. On the substantial properties around Sunninghill that work has to be done cleanly, with the rest of the house protected throughout.
On the period and mid-century houses dotted across Ascot, a full overhaul often makes more sense than moving in such a sought-after spot. A property renovation in Ascot with us can mean rewiring, replumbing, new heating and a complete redecoration, all managed under one roof from first fix to final coat. We are well used to matching original detailing on the older homes so new work blends in rather than standing out. On a green belt plot we plan the programme around the Royal Borough's requirements from the very start.
A good share of our Ascot bathroom work is fitting an en-suite into a new loft or master suite in North and South Ascot, where the awkward part is getting waste and water up to a top floor without losing head height. We core the route, box it in neatly and tank the floor before a tile goes down. On the older Sunninghill houses the existing plumbing is often a patchwork from earlier work, so we strip it back and start the runs again rather than tee off something tired. A bathroom renovation from us is finished to the standard these homes carry, and we keep the rest of the house clean while we are at it.
Alongside all of this we also take on basement conversions, spray painting and garden paving and lighting where they suit the property.
From Ascot (SL5) we cover the immediate area, including Sunninghill (SL5), Sunningdale (SL5), North Ascot (SL5), South Ascot (SL5) and Cheapside (SL5). These are leafy, high-value pockets with a lot of substantial and gated homes, and we are comfortable working on properties where the detail and the finish really count.
We also reach Windlesham (GU20) and Bracknell (RG12), and we work right along the Berkshire and Surrey border and back into Surrey and South West London. If you are near Ascot and unsure whether we cover your road, give us a ring. We will tell you honestly and arrange to come out and price the job.
Ascot homes call for a builder who works to a high spec and understands the local set-up. Here is what we offer:
