Frequently Asked Questions
It depends entirely on the scale of the project. For a single-room extension or a kitchen update, we can usually phase the work to ensure you can stay in your home comfortably.
However, for a full-scale house renovation in Somerset involving structural changes or utility shutdowns, moving out is often faster, safer, and ultimately more cost-effective. During our initial site visit, we’ll discuss the timeline and disruption levels with you so you can make the best plan.
Absolutely! With over 35 years of experience in the South West, we are very familiar with the unique challenges of Somerset’s local stone and traditional building methods. We specialise in blending modern comforts with the original character of a period home.
Not always. Many internal refurbishments, loft conversions, and small extensions fall under Permitted Development (PD), meaning you won’t need full planning permission. However, if your home is a listed building or located in a Conservation Area, the rules are much stricter.
We work closely with local planning officers and architects to help you navigate these regulations, ensuring all work is fully compliant and correctly signed off.
Generally, the most significant costs are found in structural changes – such as removing load-bearing walls or installing heavy steelwork. However, in older Somerset properties, hidden essentials like complete rewiring, new plumbing, or damp proofing can also be substantial.
We provide a full itemised quote from the start so you can see exactly where your budget is going, helping you prioritise the areas that add the most value.
