Builders in Wells
England's smallest city is also one of its most protected — the cathedral, the medieval streets and the Georgian crescents mean almost every project in Wells touches a conservation area, and listed buildings are part of daily life here. Building well in Wells demands care, patience and proper traditional skills. If you are comparing builders in Wells for work on a period or listed home, we would be glad to advise before you commit.
We undertake extensions, renovations and conversions across the city and the surrounding villages, working with the historic fabric rather than against it — and managing the consent process so our clients do not have to.
Planning & property considerations in Wells
Wells is covered by Somerset Council. The city's conservation area and many listed buildings — especially near the cathedral — mean design and materials are scrutinised closely. We establish what applies to your property at feasibility stage.

Typical project costs in Wells
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. After a site visit you receive a detailed, itemised proposal — that is the figure you can rely on.
Careful work in a cathedral city
Wells rewards care: stone elevations, narrow historic streets and a high concentration of listed buildings mean design and logistics both need planning ahead. We survey thoroughly, prepare applications with conservation in mind, and run considerate sites that keep neighbours and narrow lanes workable throughout.
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
Do you work on listed buildings in Wells?
Yes — with the correct consents, traditional materials and honest advice on what listed status means for scope, cost and programme.
Which villages around Wells do you cover?
Coxley, Dulcote, Easton, Wookey, Westbury-sub-Mendip and the villages towards Shepton Mallet and the Mendips.
Can you modernise a period house without losing its character?
That is precisely our approach — careful investigation first, then work that respects the original building while making it perform for modern life.
Do I need planning permission for building work in Wells?
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.
