Builders in Bath
Looking for builders in Bath? NOOR Design & Build delivers extensions, renovations and conversions across the city — from Georgian townhouses to Victorian villas — with the careful detailing Bath's architecture deserves, one accountable team, and a ten-year workmanship guarantee on every project.
Bath homes ask more of a builder. Bath stone elevations, lime mortars, sash windows and original joinery all need trades who understand period construction, and the city's planning environment rewards well-prepared applications. We manage design, consents and construction as one accountable team, with an itemised proposal before any commitment and a site run cleanly and considerately from start to finish.
Planning & property considerations in Bath
Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage city, and much of it also sits within conservation areas, so Bath & North East Somerset Council applies particularly close design scrutiny — especially to anything visible from the street. A large share of the city's Georgian and Victorian housing is listed, which means listed building consent alongside any planning application, and some neighbourhoods have additional restrictions on permitted development. We establish exactly what applies to your property at feasibility stage, before design costs begin.
Services in Bath
In Bath we deliver house extensions, full renovations, loft and garage conversions, structural alterations, kitchens and bathrooms, with particular experience in period and listed properties.
Working with Bath's Georgian and Victorian homes
Bath's Georgian terraces, crescents and villas are built in honey-coloured Bath stone with construction details that differ from modern cavity-wall building — solid masonry, lime mortars and timber sash windows all demand the right materials and methods. Typical projects include rear and lower-ground-floor extensions, opening up compartmentalised layouts, and full renovations that respect original features while making the house work for modern family life. The same care applies to the Victorian and Edwardian homes of Oldfield Park, Widcombe and Larkhall, and to stone cottages in villages such as Batheaston, Bathford and Combe Down.
Neighbourhoods we cover
We work across the city — the historic centre, Widcombe and Bathwick, Oldfield Park, Larkhall, Bear Flat, Combe Down, Newbridge, Weston and Lansdown — and into the nearby towns that share Bath's character, including Keynsham and Saltford and Bradford-on-Avon.
Typical project costs in Bath
As a broad guide, many single-storey extensions in Bath start from around £2,200 to £3,200 per m², with complete rear extensions often falling between roughly £60,000 and £120,000 and two-storey work beginning from around £100,000, rising with glazing, structure and specification. Listed and conservation settings can add design and material considerations, which we explain openly at proposal stage. Your detailed, itemised proposal follows a site visit — that is the figure you can rely on.
Why preparation matters in Bath
Bath's planning environment rewards schemes that are properly prepared: accurate surveys, considered materials, and designs that respect the building and its setting. Taking time at feasibility and design stage is what keeps consents straightforward and avoids expensive redesigns later. That preparation is built into how every NOOR project in the city begins.
Projects in Bath
“I have no hesitation in recommending NOOR Design & Build to anyone undergoing any major home improvement or renovation works. We renovated a Grade II listed house in Bath together with Harnoor and his team. They were able to oversee the entire project and manage the works according to a very tight timeline. The team, particular Harnoor, were incredibly responsive and attentive, a real pleasure to work with. They also pulled together a great trade team of skilled professionals to carry out the various strands of work required. We would not have pulled off such a high spec renovation without them.”

Local FAQs
My Bath home is listed — can it still be extended or renovated?
Often, yes. Listed building consent from Bath & North East Somerset Council is required for most alterations, and well-prepared, sensitive designs are regularly approved. We establish what is realistic for your property at feasibility stage before you commit to design costs.
How much does an extension cost in Bath?
As a broad guide, many single-storey extensions in Bath start from around £2,200 to £3,200 per m², with complete projects often between roughly £60,000 and £120,000. Listed or conservation settings can influence specification and cost — our Bath cost guide explains the ranges, and your itemised proposal gives the real figure.
Does living in a World Heritage city restrict building work?
It adds scrutiny rather than a ban. Bath's conservation areas and listed buildings mean design, materials and glazing choices are examined closely, particularly where visible from the street. Careful design and proper preparation are what get good schemes approved.
Will I need a party wall agreement?
Bath's terraces share walls almost by definition, so party wall notice under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is common for extensions and structural work. We identify what is needed at survey stage and build it into the programme.
Are you insured, and is the work guaranteed?
Yes — NOOR is fully insured, and every project carries our ten-year workmanship guarantee in writing.
