Local builders, genuinely local
Extensions and open-plan living in Wroughton
Wroughton is one of the closest villages to our base in Swindon, tucked below the Marlborough Downs on the southern edge of the town. For homeowners that proximity is worth more than it sounds: it means a builder who can drop in to look at a job the same week, respond quickly when a decision is needed mid-build, and be on site without a long drive built into every day. Small things, but they're the difference between a project that drags and one that moves.
Much of our work in Wroughton is about opening homes up. A lot of the village housing was built with the compartmented layouts of its era — separate kitchen, separate dining room, a hallway eating into the middle of the ground floor. The single most transformative change we make is taking those walls out and turning the ground floor into a bright, connected space to live in. That's structural alteration work: steel beams (RSJs) sized by a structural engineer, load paths properly supported, and the whole thing signed off by Building Control rather than left to chance.
Alongside that we build extensions — rear, side-return and wraparound — and handle full renovations where a home needs more than one room reworked. Whatever the scope, being close by means we're a genuinely local builder, not a firm that treats Wroughton as an outlying job.

Why it matters who you choose
Why choose a Chartered builder in Wroughton
Structural work is where the difference between a professional builder and a chancer shows up hardest. Take out the wrong wall, undersize a beam, or skip the engineer and the Building Control notice, and you've created a problem that surfaces years later — often when you try to sell. It's exactly the kind of work you want in Chartered hands.
SwiftBrick's Director, Luke Regan, is personally Chartered with the Chartered Institute of Building (MCIOB, No. 2082913) and holds an NVQ Level 7 in Senior Site Management — the professional standard used to run major commercial sites. Every structural alteration is engineered properly, supported correctly, and signed off by Building Control. We're FMB accredited (Membership No. 170197), fully insured, and back major projects with a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee.
Being minutes from Wroughton, we can also just turn up and look — no fuss, no charge to talk. We're rated 5.0 across 41 Google reviews, our credentials are all documented, and you're welcome to get in touch whenever you're ready.
Builders in Wroughton — FAQs
Common questions
How quickly can you get out to Wroughton?
Quickly — we're based just up the road in Swindon, so Wroughton is one of the fastest visits we make. Same-week site visits are the norm, and there's no charge to come and take a look.
Can you knock through to make my ground floor open-plan?
Yes, and it's a lot of what we do here. Removing a wall usually means installing a steel beam sized by a structural engineer and getting the work signed off by Building Control — all of which we handle as part of the job.
Do you need a structural engineer for wall removals?
For load-bearing walls, yes — and that's a good thing. We work with a structural engineer to specify the right steel and support, so the work is safe, compliant and signed off properly rather than guessed at.
Are you fully insured with a guarantee?
Yes — fully insured, FMB accredited (Membership No. 170197), with Chartered (MCIOB) oversight and a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee on major projects.
