Builders in

House extensions, structural renovations and modern family home improvements for Weston's diverse mix of Edwardian semis and post-war residential properties.
- Free site visit
- Fixed written quote
- Fully insured
Weston offers something different from Bath's Georgian core — around the old village High Street and All Saints Church, a substantial stock of Edwardian semis, inter-war bungalows and post-war houses that are ideally suited to modern extension and reconfiguration. Rear extensions, side returns and loft conversions regularly add significant floor area and market value to these properties without the listed building constraints that apply elsewhere in the city. Our team works across Weston regularly, understanding the typical plot sizes, soil conditions and permitted development opportunities that allow homeowners to transform their space efficiently and cost-effectively.

Pricing notes
Permitted development opportunities, Edwardian and post-war structural considerations and the varied plot gradients are all assessed at the initial site visit, so the fixed quote matches the real ground conditions.
Who lives here
Families extending rather than moving, plus long-term owner-occupiers in the inter-war bungalows — one of the most extension-focused parts of Bath.
