Construction & renovation in Chesham

Your local builder in Chesham

Chesham is a short run north for us from our Harefield base, up into the Chiltern valleys where the River Chess rises. We work across the whole town, from the period cottages and brick-and-flint properties of the old conservation core to the Victorian and Edwardian terraces, the interwar semis on the slopes, and the modern homes spreading up the surrounding hills. Most of what we are asked for here is renovation, extension and landscaping work that respects the grain of a Chiltern market town rather than fighting it.

We handle the planning side with Buckinghamshire Council ourselves, which matters in Chesham more than most places. Much of the town sits within the Chilterns AONB and the Green Belt, and the old centre carries conservation-area and listed constraints, so getting consent right is half the job. We manage the drawings, the applications and the conditions, then build the renovation, extension or landscaped scheme cleanly through to handover.

Local knowledge

Building in Chesham

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

The homes we work on here

  • The old-town core: brick, flint and timber-frame buildings with clay-tile roofs, much of it listed or inside the conservation area.
  • Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas built out as Chesham grew with the Metropolitan line terminus.
  • Interwar semis and modern homes climbing the valley sides, mixing solid-wall and cavity construction.
  • One of the broadest stocks in the Chilterns, from small period cottages to larger detached houses on the hills.

What Chesham homeowners ask us to solve

  • Flood and groundwater resilience on valley-floor properties near the Chess, the chalk stream that rises in the town and has flooded it before.
  • Careful repair and alteration of listed and conservation-core homes in brick, flint and timber.
  • Extensions, loft conversions and renovations worked through AONB and Green Belt limits.
  • Damp and cold in solid-wall period homes, and limescale damage from the very hard chalk-aquifer water.
Why Hangard

Why Chesham homeowners choose us

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

We build for the Chess

On valley-floor sites near the river we plan extensions and renovations with the chalk stream's groundwater and flood history in mind, rather than treating it as an afterthought.

Conservation-core experience

We repair and extend listed and conservation-area homes in brick, flint and timber to the standard Chesham's old town requires.

AONB and Green Belt planning

We take Chesham extensions and loft conversions through Buckinghamshire Council inside the Chilterns AONB and Green Belt, where what you can build is tightly defined.

Solid-wall and hard-water know-how

We tackle damp and insulation in Chesham's solid-wall period homes and protect systems against the limescale that the town's very hard water brings.
