Building & Construction Services in Somerset
Somerset is where Building Craftsmen was founded nearly 40 years ago. From the historic stone architecture of the Mendips to the industrial growth along the M5 corridor, we have spent decades shaping the county’s residential and commercial landscape.
Where We Work Across Somerset
We provide our full range of residential and commercial building services across the county:

Yeovil
As our home base since 1987, we are the first choice for homeowners and businesses in Yeovil. We handle everything from kitchen extensions in residential areas like Abbey Manor to major refurbishments and groundworks for the town’s busy industrial estates.

Taunton
Taunton is a major hub for our commercial and public sector work. We specialise in everything from high-spec renovations and new builds for homeowners in Taunton and the surrounding villages to school extensions and office modernisations across the town.

Bath
In Bath, we focus on residential renovations and technically challenging structural engineering. From dealing with the city’s famous terrain to working on premium stone properties, we bring a level of management that high-end projects require.
Frequently Asked Questions
