Builders in north Hampshire
Builders in Basingstoke,Hook, Winchester and Tadley
Extensions, loft and garage conversions, home renovations, refurbishments, structural alterations and brickwork. One team from the footings to the final coat, with nearly twenty years on the tools behind it.
Who we are
The groundwork everything else in the house is built on.
Shape Create & Build is a Hampshire building firm with nearly 20 years on the tools behind it. We are local, we turn up when we say we will, and we are easy to have around the house while the work is going on. One team covers the whole job, so there is one number to ring and nobody standing about waiting on somebody else.
Groundwork, brickwork, carpentry, plastering, electrics and plumbing are all ours. Our yard is on Calleva Park in Aldermaston, which puts Basingstoke, Hook, Winchester, Fleet and Tadley all within an easy run of the van.

From footings to final coat
What we build
Eight services, one team.
Every one of them run by our own trades, from the first visit to the final coat.
Before and after
The difference, side by side.
Two entrances we rebuilt from the ground up. Drag the handle across to see the same house before we started and after we finished.
Basingstoke
Front entrance, porch and path
North Hampshire
Oak-framed porch
In house
Six trades under one roof.
It is the reason a job keeps moving when the weather turns, or when a wall comes down and shows us something nobody expected.
01
General construction
Groundwork through to the final finish, managed by one team.
02
Bricklaying
Straight courses, matched brick and clean pointing on every elevation.
03

Flat walls and clean corners, inside and out, ready for decoration.

How a job runs
Four stages, start to finish.
At each one you will know who is coming, what is happening and roughly how long it is going to take.
01
Initial consultation
We come out, look at the house, listen to what you want and tell you honestly whether it will work and roughly what it costs.
02
Design and planning
Layout, materials and drawings. We deal with planning and building control so you are not chasing the council.
03
Construction
One team on site, a start date that means something, and the site sheeted and swept at the end of each day.
04
Completion and review
We walk the job with you, sort the snags there and then, and hand over a finished room rather than a list.

Where we work
Areas we cover.
Our yard sits on Calleva Park in Aldermaston, so everything listed here is a short run from it.
Basingstoke
Basingstoke grew fast and it grew in phases, so the town is really a dozen different building jobs wearing one postcode.
Hook
Hook is a village that became a commuter town when the M3 and the Waterloo line arrived, and the building stock tells that story in three clear layers.
Winchester
Winchester is the most heavily protected place we work in, and that changes the job before a single brick is laid.
Tadley
Tadley is on our doorstep — the yard is at Calleva Park, the other side of the Aldermaston boundary — and it is where we have been busiest this year.
Fleet
Fleet is a well-kept commuter town with a housing stock that rewards being extended properly.
Aldermaston
Aldermaston is where we are based. Our unit is at Calleva Park, and a good share of our work has come from within a few miles of it.
Questions
Common questions.
Extensions in Tadley, brickwork in Winchester or a loft in Basingstoke. If the answer is not here, ring 07502 002750 and ask.
Which areas do you cover?
We work across Basingstoke, Hook, Winchester, Tadley, Fleet and Aldermaston, plus the villages around them. Our yard is on Calleva Park in Aldermaston, so most of north Hampshire is a short run for us.
How long have you been building?
Nearly twenty years on the tools. Shape Create & Build Ltd was registered in 2021 (company number 13415917) and is based at Unit 1 Andromeda House, Calleva Park, Aldermaston.
Do you handle planning and building regulations?
Yes. We deal with the drawings, the planning application where one is needed, and building control inspections and sign-off, so you are not chasing the council between jobs.
Will you match the brickwork on my extension?
That is usually the first thing we look at. We source brick, bond and mortar colour to match what is already there, because a mismatched extension is obvious from the pavement.
Can we stay in the house while you work?
In most cases, yes. We sheet up, keep the dust down and sweep the site at the end of every day. Our customers regularly mention the tidying up, which tells you how often it does not happen elsewhere.
How do you price a job?
We come out, look at the property and put a written quote together with the costs set out line by line. No obligation, and no charge for the visit.
