Whole-home modernisation, extensions and structural reconfiguration across the inter-war, post-war and newer housing that makes up most of Melksham.

- Written workmanship guarantee
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.
Melksham's housing is dominated by the inter-war and post-war estates that spread out from a compact historic core near the Market Place and the River Avon, with newer developments on the town's edges and a steady stream of whole-home modernisation work. Typical projects here are opening up compartmentalised layouts, installing structural steel for open-plan kitchen-diners, and adding rear extensions on plots wide enough to take them. The town is also a natural link between our Bath base and the wider Wiltshire corridor, and the same fixed-price, itemised-quote discipline applies whether the job is a single knock-through or a full modernisation programme.
