Dunkerton is where Aspect Builds is based — the yard is at 2 Fir Tree Cottages, and most days start here before the vans head out across Bath and BANES. The village itself sits in the Cam Brook valley on the A367 corridor, a mix of stone cottages, former farm buildings and newer estates, with the old Somerset Coal Canal route running close by and Combe Hay's locks just up the valley. Working this close to home means we know the local ground, the housing stock and the trades around the village — and a Dunkerton project gets the shortest-notice site visit and the most direct supervision of any job we run, because the boss is five minutes away.
