House extensions in Bath, Trowbridge and across BANES — from a side-return on a terraced street to a double-storey rear build. We handle planning drawings, structural steel, groundworks and Building Control in one fixed-price contract, so the number you sign is the number you pay. Single-storey builds typically run 10–14 weeks; double-storey 16–24 weeks — both confirmed at quote, not discovered mid-build.
Bathford's elevated position — the village climbs from the valley floor up toward Bathford Hill, past grand 18th-century houses like Eagle House — and its historic stone architecture present unique construction challenges: structural underpinning on sloping ground, matching local Bath stone on exposure-facing elevations. Our experience with hillside properties means we understand the drainage, retaining wall and structural requirements that keep these homes sound for another century. Hillside scaffolding, retaining wall assessment and sloped-site logistics are all managed within our standard project scope, on the same fixed-quote basis as every other village we cover.
