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.
Working within Central Bath — from the Georgian townhouses around the Royal Crescent and the Circus to the terraces closer to Bath Abbey and Pulteney Bridge — demands absolute respect for architectural heritage and strict adherence to conservation guidelines. Much of the fabric is Grade I or Grade II listed, and the planning environment is exacting: consent is routine, materials are scrutinised, and heritage officers expect traditional methods done properly. Our team specialises in managing the complex logistics of city-centre builds — scaffolding on busy streets, resident parking permits, deliveries on narrow lanes — while matching historic ashlar stonework, executing traditional raking and lime mortar repointing, and sympathetically upgrading internal living spaces without compromising the period character that makes these buildings what they are.

Working in Central Bath
Access & parking
Bath Spa station is within walking distance of most of the centre. The city is served by the A4, A36 and A46, but central streets are largely pedestrianised or permit-controlled, so scaffolding and material drops are planned and booked in advance.
Who lives here
Owner-occupiers of listed Georgian townhouses and apartments, second-home owners, and landlords in the student belt — all of whom expect premium standards and careful project management.
Landmarks we work around

Pricing notes
Heritage premium — listed building consent and conservation area approvals take time and constrain materials, and city-centre access (scaffolding, parking permits, delivery windows) adds real logistics cost. Every project is quoted as a fixed price after the free site visit.
