Southdown · BA2house refurbishment
Home extensions, loft conversions and thorough property renovations for Southdown's established post-war and mid-century residential community.
Full house refurbishments in Bath, Radstock and across BANES — rewires, re-plumbs, re-plasters and refits under one contract. We run the whole programme so you never coordinate trades yourself: strip-out, first fix, second fix, decoration, handover. A 2-bed terrace typically runs 8–12 weeks; a 4-bed detached 16–24. Fixed price throughout — including Radstock and Chippenham refurbishment projects where the housing stock demands different treatments.
Southdown's mid-century estates — including the Poets' Corner streets named for Chaucer, Milton and Shelley — offer solid, well-built housing that, with the right structural investment, can be transformed into genuinely spacious family homes. The typical plot sizes allow for meaningful rear extensions; the roof profiles on many properties suit dormer loft conversions well; and the relative simplicity of the construction means structural interventions are often more straightforward than in Bath's older terraced stock. Our team works efficiently with these property types, delivering extensions and conversions that maximise the permitted development opportunities available and deliver strong returns on investment.
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.
Coordinating five trades yourself — one PM owns the schedule
Quotes that exclude the "second fix" — everything itemised up front
Period features destroyed by modern methods — lime plaster and Bath stone respected
Rewires and re-plumbs skimped — full-house services renewal done properly
Projects that run on with no end date — 8–12 weeks for a 2-bed means 8–12 weeks
Decoration rushed over wet plaster — timelines include genuine drying

Connected to the city via the Wellsway and the Odd Down Park & Ride, with regular buses into the centre in around fifteen minutes.
Established owner-occupier families, many of whom have watched the estate mature for decades and now invest in extending rather than moving.
Mid-century structural methods, estate road access and permitted development envelope assessments are addressed proactively at every Southdown project — the simpler construction often makes these the most cost-effective extensions we build.
Verified reviews from recent work.
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.
