Construction & renovation in Amersham

Your local builder in Amersham

Amersham is a short drive from our Harefield base, just over the Buckinghamshire border, so we are on site quickly and often. We work across both halves of the town: the timber-framed and Georgian heart of Old Amersham on the Misbourne valley floor, and the substantial Edwardian and Metroland villas of Amersham-on-the-Hill. Most of what we are asked to do here is landscaping, full home renovations and house extensions on the larger detached plots the area is known for.

Building in Amersham means building within the Chilterns National Landscape and the Green Belt, where planning is tight and design has to suit the setting. We handle the applications with Buckinghamshire Council ourselves, from pre-application advice through conservation and AONB consent to building control sign-off. You deal with one contractor from the first drawing to the final clean, not a chain of subcontractors.

Local knowledge

Building in Amersham

We tailor every project to the homes, ground and planning context of Amersham — here's what that means in practice.

The homes we work on here

  • Old Amersham's High Street stock: timber-framed, brick-and-flint and Georgian houses, many listed, sitting within the Misbourne conservation area.
  • Amersham-on-the-Hill grew with the railway as Metroland, leaving substantial Edwardian and interwar villas and 1930s parades around Sycamore Road.
  • Cavity-brick and mock-Tudor villas on the hill, finished in clay tile, alongside more recent executive homes on generous plots.
  • Solid-wall and timber-framed period properties that need sympathetic repair rather than off-the-shelf modern methods.

What Amersham homeowners ask us to solve

  • Extensions, basements and high-spec renovations on the hill villas, worked up to sit comfortably within AONB and Green Belt limits.
  • Sympathetic repair and alteration of listed and timber-framed homes in Old Amersham, with the conservation consent that goes with them.
  • Flood and groundwater resilience on valley-floor plots near the River Misbourne, a chalk stream that periodically floods the low ground.
  • Damp and insulation retrofit in solid-wall period homes, and limescale-driven plumbing work from the very hard chalk-fed water.
Why Hangard

Why Amersham homeowners choose us

What sets us apart in Amersham isn't a sales pitch — it's knowing the homes, the ground and the planning here, and building accordingly.

Two builders for two Amershams

We work confidently in both the listed timber-frame and Georgian fabric of the old town and the Edwardian and Metroland villas on the hill, treating each on its own terms.

AONB and Green Belt planning handled

We prepare and run applications through Buckinghamshire Council's conservation, AONB and Green Belt regimes, designing extensions and outbuildings that stand a real chance of consent.

Heritage repair done properly

On Old Amersham's solid-wall and timber-framed houses we use breathable, sympathetic methods rather than modern fixes that trap damp in old fabric.

Built for valley-floor ground

On low plots near the Misbourne we design for the chalk-stream flooding and high groundwater the valley is known for, rather than ignoring it until it shows.
