Widcombe · BA2house refurbishment
Period terrace renovations, hillside garden projects and sympathetic internal refurbishments for one of Bath's most characterful hillside neighbourhoods.
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.
Widcombe rises steeply from the Avon and the Widcombe flight of locks on the Kennet & Avon Canal up toward Prior Park at the top of the hill, its terraces of Georgian and Victorian housing presenting a unique set of structural and logistical challenges. Sloped rear gardens often need engineered retaining solutions before any building work can begin; party walls on tightly packed terraces require careful structural assessment; and the Conservation Area designation means external alterations must be handled with precision and planning awareness. Our team has extensive experience across Widcombe's housing stock — delivering everything from full internal refurbishments and Victorian terrace modernisations to external masonry repairs and hillside landscaping schemes.
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

Bath Spa station is effectively on the doorstep, and the city centre is five minutes away across the river. Buses run along Claverton Street; the canal towpath connects to Bathwick and the Two Tunnels Greenway.
Professional families and commuters who want village character minutes from the station, in period housing they are willing to invest in.
Steep access, shared party walls and Conservation Area compliance are managed from the first site visit through to completion — retaining and hillside groundwork is surveyed and priced up front, not added later.
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.
