Questions we get asked
If your question is not here, call or WhatsApp us. We are happy to talk it through.
General
What area do you cover?
We work across Somerset, with most jobs in and around Bridgwater, Taunton and Weston-super-Mare, and we take on projects in the neighbouring counties too. Get in touch to talk about your location. See the areas we cover around Bridgwater
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on the scope. A bathroom is typically one to three weeks, a kitchen one to two weeks for a straight swap or four to eight for a full refit, and a single-storey extension around two to three months once planning is sorted. You get a clear timeline before any work starts.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes, free and with no obligation. We come and look at the job, then send a detailed estimate so you know what to expect.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. We guarantee our workmanship for 12 months from the day the work is finished. If anything we did is not right, tell us and we will put it right at no cost to you. Call or WhatsApp us if you have any questions about what applies to your job.
Can I stay in my home during the work?
Often yes for kitchens and bathrooms, with a bit of disruption. Larger structural work may need somewhere else to stay for a while. We talk this through before we start.
Do you do small jobs or repairs?
We focus on building projects like kitchens, bathrooms, extensions, flooring, tiling and external works, rather than small handyman jobs.
How do I get started?
Call or WhatsApp us, or send the form. We arrange a visit to see the space and hear what you want, then send a quote and a plan.
Kitchens
More about our kitchen fittingCan I still use my home while the kitchen is being fitted?
Usually, yes. Most people set up a temporary kitchen in another room. We agree the order of work with you up front so the time without a working kitchen is as short as possible.
Do I need to buy the kitchen myself?
Either works. You can supply your own units, or tell us what you want and we can talk through options when we visit.
Bathrooms
More about our bathroom refitsCan you turn my bath into a walk-in shower?
Yes. We look at the space and the plumbing on the visit and tell you what will work.
Will I be without a toilet?
If it is your only bathroom, we plan the work to keep the time without a toilet as short as possible and let you know in advance.
Extensions
More about our extensionsDo I need planning permission for an extension?
Some single-storey extensions fall under permitted development and some need full planning permission from Somerset Council. It depends on the size and your property. We can talk it through on the visit, and building regulations apply either way.
Can I stay in the house during the build?
Usually, yes. Most of the work happens outside until the new space is joined to the house. We plan that stage carefully to keep disruption down.
Flooring
More about our wood flooringCan you lay wood flooring over underfloor heating?
Often, yes, with the right engineered board. We check what you have and recommend a suitable floor.
Tiling
More about our tilingDo you supply the tiles?
You can choose and buy your own, or we can advise on quantities and what will work in the space.
External works
More about our driveways, patios and outside workDoes the weather hold up outside work?
Heavy rain or frost can pause some stages, like laying concrete or mortar. We plan around the forecast and keep you updated if the dates move.
Still have a question?
The quickest way is to call or WhatsApp. If you would rather write it down, use the form and we will come back to you.

“Peter and team did a brilliant job tiling. They gave great advice on the best way to do it. They levelled the walls, waterproofed the shower area and then tiled the floor and walls. Really pleased with the quality of the finish, thank you!! I would highly recommend.”
