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.
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.
