Builders in Axbridge & Cheddar
Axbridge and Cheddar sit beneath the Mendip Hills — a medieval market town of listed buildings and a village famous for its gorge. This is home ground for NOOR: our portfolio includes a complete rear extension and renovation in Axbridge, one of the projects we are most proud of. If you are comparing builders in Axbridge or Cheddar, we would be glad to show you that project and talk through your own.
Building here means working with stone cottages, period farmhouses and hillside plots, often within conservation areas or near protected landscapes. We bring the same organised, premium approach to rural projects as we do to city ones.
Planning & property considerations in Axbridge & Cheddar
Axbridge and Cheddar are covered by Somerset Council. The Mendip Hills National Landscape, village conservation areas and listed buildings all add considerations for rural projects. We establish what applies to your property at feasibility stage.

Typical project costs in Axbridge & Cheddar
Every house is different, so treat published figures as broad guides rather than quotations. As a regional reference, a straightforward single-storey extension typically starts from around £2,200 to £3,200 per m², many complete rear extensions fall between roughly £60,000 and £120,000, and full renovations often begin around £80,000 to £150,000 for a modest house. Rural and listed properties can carry extra considerations, which we flag before design work begins. After a site visit you receive a detailed, itemised proposal — that is the figure you can rely on.
Projects in Somerset
“Our project in Somerset wasn't small by any means. A single side wrap around extension, rear kitchen extension, loft conversion and full house refurbishment, including new electrics and plumbing. I needed a builder I could trust to deliver the project on time and on budget. Harnoor made sure everything was included in the quote and was happy to arrange visits for us to see projects he was handling at the time. When work started, I was surprised how quickly things moved. His team and contacts are great, they worked extremely hard to make the tough deadline. The customer service was second to none. We would be more than happy to recommend NOOR Design & Build.”

Local FAQs
Have you worked in Axbridge?
Yes — a complete home transformation with a modern rear extension, open-plan kitchen diner and bespoke staircase, viewable on our projects page.
Can you extend a stone cottage in a conservation area?
Usually, yes — with a well-considered design and a full planning application. We advise honestly on what is likely to be acceptable before you commit.
Do you handle private drainage for rural extensions?
Yes — septic tanks and treatment plants affect where and how you can build. We assess drainage at feasibility stage and design accordingly.
Do I need planning permission for building work in Axbridge & Cheddar?
Many straightforward extensions and internal renovations fall within permitted development rights, but conservation areas, listed buildings and flats change the rules. Somerset Council confirms what applies — we check the position for your address at feasibility stage, before design costs begin.
Are you insured, and is the work guaranteed?
Yes — NOOR is fully insured, and every project carries our ten-year workmanship guarantee in writing.
