- Fully insured
Batheaston sits beneath Little Solsbury Hill and alongside the Grade II listed toll bridge crossing to Bathampton, and its mix of period cottages, Victorian terraces and modern infill developments requires a builder who understands the nuances of village-scale construction. Our team delivers everything from sensitive period cottage modernisations to full domestic maintenance programmes, always with the same rigorous project management and clean-site protocols we apply to our largest Central Bath commissions. Village access routes, neighbouring property considerations and local conservation overlay requirements are handled end-to-end, so owners get city-agency standards without leaving the village.
