- Free site visit

- Written workmanship guarantee
Full new build homes in Bath and garage conversions from £12,000 — groundworks, steel, structure, roof, first and second fix, all under one fixed-price contract with one project manager. From an RSJ installation with proper structural calcs to a complete new home over 6–9 months, the same MCIOB-led team and the same building-control discipline.
Frome's reputation as one of the country's most creative small towns is matched by a genuinely distinctive building stock — steeply terraced streets like Trinity and Catherine Hill, Georgian townhouses around the centre, and a growing number of former industrial and commercial buildings being converted into homes and studios. The terrain alone demands experience: sloped-site excavation, retaining structures and party-wall assessments on tightly packed terraces are a regular part of our work here. We bring that same structural rigour to full home renovations and conversions for the town's steadily growing community of homeowner-investors.
