extension build in Bath
Single-storey, double-storey, side-return, and wraparound house extensions across Bath, Bath BA1, Bath BA2, and the surrounding villages. Full project management from planning to plaster.
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.

Every extension build project follows the same 8-12 step process. Here's what to expect from your free site visit to your 12-month aftercare check.
James visits your the build property to scope the work, discuss options, and assess constraints — listed status, party walls, ground conditions. No charge, no obligation.
You receive a fully itemised quote — materials, labour, waste removal, sign-off fees all broken down. What we quote is what you pay.
We agree start dates and working hours, order materials, arrange skips and scaffolding where needed, and protect your home with dust sheets and floor coverings.
The crew carries out the work to the agreed spec. Daily tidy-ups and protected access routes — your home stays liveable.
Where the work is structural, Building Control inspects at the required stages and you receive full certification on completion.
James walks the finished work with you. Any snags are dealt with immediately — we only sign off when you are fully satisfied.
You get certificates, warranties and any FENSA/Building Control paperwork, plus guidance on caring for the new work.
If anything needs attention later, we come back. Our reputation in Bath is built on long-term relationships, not one-off jobs.
We only use BBA-certified systems from leading UK and European manufacturers. Every installation carries a manufacturer warranty as standard.
Steel calcs supplied for Building Control; brick and roof matched to the existing house.
A real job we've completed — the brief, the challenge, how it ran, and the photographs from site.
Everything you need to know about our extension build service.
Costs vary widely depending on size, finish level, structural work, and site conditions. We give you a fixed-price quote after a free site visit, so you know the exact cost before any work starts. No day rates, no open-ended estimates.
Single-storey rear extensions: 10-14 weeks. Double-storey: 16-24 weeks. Wraparound extensions: 20-28 weeks. We provide a detailed programme at quote stage and stick to it.
Most rear extensions under 4m (or 3m on semi-detached) fall under Permitted Development. Bath's conservation area and Article 4 directions affect many properties. We check and handle the full application if needed — typically 8 weeks lead time.
Yes — side-return extensions are a core part of our work in Bath's terraced housing stock. We work on Victorian and Georgian terraces across Widcombe, Oldfield Park, Bear Flat, Larkhall, and Bathwick. Typical 4-6m dig-out, kitchen extension, full structural work.
Yes — double-storey extensions are common in Bath. We handle the structural steel (RSJ), foundations, brickwork, roofing, and all internal fit-out. Typical project takes 16-24 weeks.
We isolate work areas, dust-sheet, clean daily, and respect your space. For larger projects, we can phase the work so you only have one room out of action at a time. Most Bath extension projects are in occupied homes.
£10M+ public liability (AXA-verified). CSCS cardholders, City & Guilds / NVQ qualified. James is MCIOB chartered through the Chartered Institute of Building. All documentation on request.
Yes — heritage Bath stone matching is a core part of our work. We source Bath stone from the same quarries used historically, and our brickwork matches existing mortar profiles, pointing styles, and stone coursing. Conservation-officer liaison included for listed properties.
Customers who book this service often add one of these.
