Thatcham and the places nearby.

Thatcham is a large town just east of Newbury in the Kennet valley, mostly built as housing estates in recent decades, with lakes and nature reserves on its southern side. Many residents commute along the M4 corridor or into Reading, and it is sometimes described as one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the country. Customers are busy families on estates such as Dunston Park, so fast online booking and naming the estates and nearby villages beats a generic West Berkshire pitch.

Closest to Thatcham within West Berkshire: Newbury (3 miles) and Hungerford (11 miles). Just over the council boundary, Tadley (6 miles) is close by. Further out, Basingstoke (12 miles), Reading (13 miles), Didcot (14 miles) and Earley (14 miles) are within commuting distance. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.

Within Thatcham itself, we build for businesses in Cold Ash, Bucklebury, Crookham Common, Dunston Park, Colthrop and Upper Bucklebury.

Thatcham addresses fall in the RG postcode area, about 109 miles north-east of Exeter, where we are based.
