We had Aspect Builds build an extension for us and we are absolutely delighted with the finished result. From start to finish the team were professional, reliable and a pleasure to have on site. The quality of the build is excellent, everything was kept tidy, and they kept us fully informed throughout. Great communication, fair pricing and a first-class finish. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aspect Builds to anyone considering an extension or any other building work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our extension build service.
How much does a house extension cost in Bath?
Costs vary widely depending on size, finish level, structural work, and site conditions. We give you a fixed-price quote after a free site visit, so you know the exact cost before any work starts. No day rates, no open-ended estimates.
How long does a house extension take in Bath?
Single-storey rear extensions: 10-14 weeks. Double-storey: 16-24 weeks. Wraparound extensions: 20-28 weeks. We provide a detailed programme at quote stage and stick to it.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Bath?
Most rear extensions under 4m (or 3m on semi-detached) fall under Permitted Development. Bath's conservation area and Article 4 directions affect many properties. We check and handle the full application if needed — typically 8 weeks lead time.
Can you do side-return extensions in Bath?
Yes — side-return extensions are a core part of our work in Bath's terraced housing stock. We work on Victorian and Georgian terraces across Widcombe, Oldfield Park, Bear Flat, Larkhall, and Bathwick. Typical 4-6m dig-out, kitchen extension, full structural work.
Can you do double-storey extensions in Bath?
Yes — double-storey extensions are common in Bath. We handle the structural steel (RSJ), foundations, brickwork, roofing, and all internal fit-out. Typical project takes 16-24 weeks.
Will I be able to live in my home during the extension build?
We isolate work areas, dust-sheet, clean daily, and respect your space. For larger projects, we can phase the work so you only have one room out of action at a time. Most Bath extension projects are in occupied homes.
Are you insured and qualified to do extension work in Bath?
£10M+ public liability (AXA-verified). CSCS cardholders, City & Guilds / NVQ qualified. James is MCIOB chartered through the Chartered Institute of Building. All documentation on request.
Can you match the existing Bath stone on my extension?
Yes — heritage Bath stone matching is a core part of our work. We source Bath stone from the same quarries used historically, and our brickwork matches existing mortar profiles, pointing styles, and stone coursing. Conservation-officer liaison included for listed properties.
