Builders in Somerton & Martock
Looking for builders in Somerton or Martock? NOOR Design & Build delivers extensions, full home renovations and conversions across the ancient heart of Somerset — one accountable team, itemised proposals, and a ten-year workmanship guarantee on every project.
Somerton was Somerset's county town long before Taunton, and its handsome stone market square still shows that status. Martock, a few miles south, is one of the country's largest villages — a whole settlement built from golden Ham stone, with the Treasurer's House at its heart. Between them lie some of the county's prettiest working villages. This is conservation country, and it is exactly the work we love.
Planning & property considerations in Somerton
Planning and Building Regulations here are handled by Somerset Council. Conservation areas cover much of both settlements and listed Ham stone buildings are numerous, so external alterations usually need carefully argued applications — though many rear extensions still fall within permitted development. We establish what applies to your address at feasibility stage, before design costs begin.
Services in Somerton
Across Somerton and Martock we deliver house extensions, full renovations, loft and garage conversions, structural alterations, kitchens and bathrooms.
Homes and projects we work on here
Somerton's stone townhouses and cottages suit sensitive rear extensions, dormer additions and whole-house renovations where new work is detailed to sit quietly beside old. The same applies across Martock, where almost every street is hamstone and planning scrutiny is correspondingly thorough — good design and honest materials win consent here.
In the villages between — Kingsbury Episcopi with its famous church, Long Sutton, Pitney, High Ham on its ridge above the Levels — period cottages and farmhouses need a survey-first approach: understanding the existing structure, then specifying stone, lime and joinery that honour the building.
Where plots allow, well-designed extensions in traditional materials can be transformative: garden rooms in stone and glass, kitchen extensions behind the principal elevation, and barn conversions handled under their own planning class. Honest feasibility first, an itemised proposal, then one accountable team to handover.
Typical project costs in Somerton & Martock
Projects here 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 per m², with many complete rear extensions between roughly £60,000 and £120,000 depending on size and specification. Listed and conservation-area properties can sit higher where specialist materials apply. Smaller scopes cost considerably less — we will tell you honestly which route gives best value. Your itemised proposal gives the real figure before you commit.
A considerate site, wherever you live
Building work is disruptive; we work hard to make it less so. Clean sites, considerate working hours, protected floors and gardens, and a single point of contact who answers the phone. You receive regular photo updates and a named site lead, so you always know who is on site and what stage the work is at.
