Bear Flat · BA2house refurbishment
Victorian and Edwardian property renovations, quality extensions and sympathetic refurbishments for Bear Flat's characterful elevated residential neighbourhood.
Full house refurbishments in Bath, Radstock and across BANES — rewires, re-plumbs, re-plasters and refits under one contract. We run the whole programme so you never coordinate trades yourself: strip-out, first fix, second fix, decoration, handover. A 2-bed terrace typically runs 8–12 weeks; a 4-bed detached 16–24. Fixed price throughout — including Radstock and Chippenham refurbishment projects where the housing stock demands different treatments.
Bear Flat sits on the high ridge south of the city centre, its independent shops and cafés along Wellsway giving way to streets lined with substantial Victorian and Edwardian properties that attract buyers looking for space, character and views. These are desirable homes that owners invest in properly — and they deserve builders who understand the structural particulars of late-Victorian construction: the chimney arrangements, the timber-framed floor structures, the solid external walls that make insulation retrofits more complex than in modern housing. Our team brings that specialist knowledge to every Bear Flat project, from rear kitchen extensions and basement conversions through to full-house renovation programmes, with elevated site access and Conservation Area considerations managed end-to-end.
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.
Coordinating five trades yourself — one PM owns the schedule
Quotes that exclude the "second fix" — everything itemised up front
Period features destroyed by modern methods — lime plaster and Bath stone respected
Rewires and re-plumbs skimped — full-house services renewal done properly
Projects that run on with no end date — 8–12 weeks for a 2-bed means 8–12 weeks
Decoration rushed over wet plaster — timelines include genuine drying

Verified reviews from recent work.
Older property, kitchen with apex ceiling. Very pleased with the professional finish, friendly team. I was asked before painting commenced what I would like. All surfaces fully protected and covered, no mess left. Impressed with the high standard.
