A kitchen refit fails on coordination — plumber waits for electrician, tiler waits for plasterer, and you live weeks without a sink. We run kitchens as one managed project: design with 3D visuals, supply at trade prices from Howdens, Magnet and Wren, structural work and building regs handled in-house, then plumbing, electrics, tiling, flooring and decoration by the same team. One quote, one timeline, one point of contact.
Combe Down sits atop the very quarries that provided the Bath stone used to build the city below, and its housing reflects that heritage directly — solid stone-built cottages and larger Victorian villas whose character depends entirely on the quality of masonry work applied to them. Incorrect mortar specification, inappropriate cement pointing or poorly matched stone repairs can cause irreversible damage to these structures. Our team brings a thorough understanding of Bath stone's properties — its porosity, its weathering characteristics and how to match it accurately — ensuring every repair and restoration enhances rather than compromises the building's long-term integrity, with Bath stone sourcing and lime mortar specification built into every project scope.

What Bath & BANES customers say
Verified reviews from recent work.
Aspect builders are a very professional, personable team. We used them to create our vegetable garden and had significant kitchen structural work carried out. Both projects were completed to an excellent standard. Highly recommend.
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.
