Trusted Builders in Taunton, Somerset
Taunton is Somerset's county town — a vibrant market town steeped in history, surrounded by the rolling hills of the Quantocks and Blackdowns. From the Georgian townhouses of Vivary Park to the Victorian terraces of Priorswood and the newer estates of Comeytrowe, Taunton's diverse housing stock presents a wide range of building challenges and opportunities. Our team knows these properties intimately.
As local residential builders in Taunton, we've worked on hundreds of homes throughout the town — extending kitchens in Bishop's Hull, converting lofts in Norton Fitzwarren, refurbishing period cottages in Trull, and fitting bespoke kitchens in Creech St Michael. We bring that same depth of local knowledge and hands-on expertise to every project we take on.

Frequently Asked Questions — Builders in Taunton
Do I need planning permission for a house extension in Taunton?
Many extensions in Taunton fall under Permitted Development rights and don't require a full planning application. Single storey rear extensions up to 4m (detached) or 3m (semi-detached/terraced) are usually permitted without planning permission. However, if your property is in a conservation area — such as parts of central Taunton — or if Permitted Development rights have been removed, full planning will be needed. We advise on all planning matters as part of our free initial consultation.
How much does a house extension cost in Taunton?
Extension costs in Taunton typically range from £1,500 to £2,500+ per square metre, depending on the type of extension, specification and finishes chosen. A typical 20m² single storey kitchen-diner extension would usually cost £30,000–£50,000 fully fitted, including all trades. We provide free, detailed no-obligation quotes with a full breakdown of costs.
