Builders in Somerset
NOOR works across Somerset — extensions, full renovations, conversions and barn-style projects from Taunton and Bridgwater to Wells, Glastonbury, Street and Yeovil. One accountable design-and-build team, fully insured, with a ten-year workmanship guarantee on every project.
Somerset's building stock is wonderfully varied — stone farmhouses, barn conversions, lias and hamstone cottages, Victorian market-town terraces and post-war family houses — and each asks something different of a builder. We begin with a proper survey, design around the building that is actually there, and manage consents and construction as one accountable team with an itemised proposal before any commitment.
Planning & property considerations in Somerset
Somerset is served by a single unitary authority, Somerset Council, which handles planning and Building Regulations across the county. Rural projects can involve extra considerations — listed farmhouses and barns, the Mendip Hills, Quantock Hills and Blackdown Hills National Landscapes, and plots near the Somerset Levels where ground conditions and drainage need early attention. We check what applies to your property at feasibility stage, before design costs begin.

Across Somerset we deliver house extensions, full renovations, loft and garage conversions, structural alterations, kitchens, bathrooms and new-build homes.
Rural and market-town projects across Somerset
In the countryside, our work often involves extending stone farmhouses and cottages, converting or extending barn-style buildings, and renovating period homes that need their structure, damp proofing and services properly renewed. In the market towns — Taunton, Bridgwater, Wells, Glastonbury, Street and Yeovil — the pattern is closer to the cities: rear and wraparound extensions, open-plan kitchen-diners, loft and garage conversions, and full renovations of Victorian and 1930s housing. The constant is the method: survey first, design carefully, build cleanly.

Typical project costs in Somerset
Somerset projects generally track the regional figures in our published cost guides: as a broad guide, 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 home renovations often begin around £80,000 to £150,000 for a modest house. Rural and listed properties can carry extra considerations, which we explain openly. Every project receives its own detailed, itemised proposal after a site visit.
How rural projects are planned
Rural sites ask different questions: access for materials, ground conditions and drainage, services that may be private rather than mains, and designs that sit comfortably in open countryside. We survey and investigate early, flag anything that affects cost or consents before design work begins, and plan logistics so remote sites run as smoothly as town ones.
Conversions and structural work in Somerset
Alongside extensions and renovations, we deliver loft and garage conversions and structural alterations across the county — opening up period layouts, installing steelwork over new open-plan spaces, and converting outbuildings into habitable rooms with proper insulation, ventilation and Building Regulations sign-off. Structural work is always engineered and certified, never improvised.
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
Is planning harder for rural Somerset properties?
Rural sites can involve extra considerations — listed buildings, National Landscape areas such as the Mendips or Quantocks, and open-countryside policies — but Somerset Council approves well-prepared, sympathetic schemes regularly. We assess what applies to your plot at feasibility stage.
How much does an extension cost in Somerset?
As a broad guide, our regional cost figures put a straightforward single-storey extension at around £2,200 to £3,200 per m², with many complete rear extensions between roughly £60,000 and £120,000. Your itemised proposal after a site visit gives the real figure for your property.
Do you work on barn conversions and farm buildings?
Yes — barn-style conversions and extensions to agricultural buildings are part of our Somerset work. These projects need early structural assessment and usually a full planning application, which we manage as part of the design-and-build process.
How long does a typical project take?
Timescales depend on scope, consents and specification, so we do not quote fixed durations before design. Once designs and approvals are in place, we agree a written programme before work begins and report progress against it throughout.
Are you insured, and is the work guaranteed?
Yes — NOOR is fully insured, and every project carries our ten-year workmanship guarantee in writing.
