From building site to beautiful family home. 🔨✨

We absolutely loved working with Anna Caldwell and her family on this renovation in Bath.

Having moved from London, they’d spent a couple of years living in the house and planning how to make it work for their busy family life. With three children, a dog, guinea pigs and plans for a chicken coop, making the most of every inch was key!

The project included:
- A single-storey rear extension with two Velux roof lights
- A beautiful new kitchen and fitted office shelving from Future Joinery Systems
- New upstairs and downstairs bathrooms
- Underfloor heating and a new system boiler
- Fireplace refurbishment
- New electrics throughout, including a consumer unit
- Flooring and decorating throughout
- Loft boarding
- A redesigned garden with a new patio, decking and jungle gym

But a project like this is about more than bricks, mortar and beautiful finishes. It’s about creating a home that works for the people living in it, and making sure the journey to get there is a positive one.

We know how important trust, clear communication and respect for your home are when choosing a builder. So it’s really important to us that we work hard to keep our clients informed, deliver quality craftsmanship and treat every home — and everyone in it, including the four-legged furry members of the family — with care.

Our clients were an absolute joy to work with, and we’re so grateful for their kindness and generosity towards the whole team. Thank you for trusting us with your home.

Pretty in pink! 🩷

A calm, cosy family space with a little bit of personality.

This room already had a generous extension, but the kitchen had been squeezed into a small, dark corner, leaving the rest of the room feeling a little too open and disconnected.

The solution was to rethink the layout completely.

The kitchen moved into the larger part of the room, creating a much better flow between cooking, eating and family life. At the centre is a generous island — perfect for cooking, chatting, homework, family meals and everything in between.

The dining table offers extra space when friends and family come over, while plenty of storage keeps everything feeling calm and uncluttered.

The old kitchen area has now become a cosy snug for the children, with sofas and a projector ready for family film nights.

Our clients wanted the space to feel timeless and calm, but they weren’t afraid of a little colour.

Soft pink walls work beautifully with the cashere-coloured Wren kitchen, white marble-effect worktops and brass hardware. Hexagonal splashback tiles and herringbone oak flooring bring in plenty of texture and pattern, while the gorgeous pendant shades above the island add the finishing touch.

The result is light, warm, contemporary and full of character – but most importantly, it’s a space that works for family life.

Sometimes, it’s not about making a room bigger. It’s about making better use of the space you already have.

From building site to dream apartment…

It’s been a pleasure working with local entrepreneur and businesswoman Charlotte Randall helping bring her vision for a new kind of luxury serviced accommodation in Bath to life.

Having spent time working abroad, Charlotte understood the challenge of finding somewhere that feels like home while settling into a new city. Her beautifully restored Georgian apartment on Great Pulteney Street offers exactly that – a fully furnished, design-led home for stays of 2–6 months, complete with all bills included, weekly cleaning, and linen changes.

Our team transformed this Grade II listed property through a complete renovation, including:

• Full strip-out and refurbishment
• Complete rewire with feature lighting installation
• New plumbing and traditional-style radiators
• Lime plastering and restoration of original features
• Luxury marble and gold bathroom installation
• Creation of a practical utility space
• Stunning kitchen installation with beautiful views across Bath
• Floor sanding and restoration throughout
• Full decoration

The finished result is a beautifully restored Georgian property that combines historic character with modern functionality.

WORK IN PROGRESS 🚧

Swipe to see the transformation so far — from a single garage to a double-storey side extension.

A successful renovation project is never just about construction — it’s about partnership.

This ongoing double-storey side extension demonstrates the value of strong collaboration between client, architect and contractor to achieve exceptional results efficiently and transparently.

Key outcomes so far:
• Project maintained within agreed budget
• Programme currently tracking 2 months ahead of schedule
• High-quality workmanship delivered throughout the build

As a trusted renovation partner, we guide homeowners through every stage of the process — from early planning and design coordination through to final completion.

We understand that extending or renovating a home is a significant investment, which is why clarity, communication and dependable project delivery remain central to every project we undertake.

This one isn’t finished yet, but we’re proud of the progress so far and will share the completed transformation in the coming months.

From a single home to double the space!

A year ago we handed back the keys on this comprehensive residential renovation — and it’s one we’re really proud of.

The brief was ambitious: significantly increase space, improve flow, and future-proof the property — all while ensuring a high-quality finish throughout.

The scope was extensive:
• Double storey wrap-around rear and side extension
• Loft conversion
• Full internal reconfiguration
• New front porch
• Landscaping works
• Detached garage / future living space

Large-scale projects like this take trust, planning, and honest communication. But with the right team around you, the end result can completely transform how you live in your home and increase its value — without the stress of moving.

From cramped and outdated to bright, open-plan family living!

This Bath home just wasn’t working anymore – whilst it had great potential, it simply wasn’t keeping up with family life anymore. The single skin rear extension was too cold and an awkward useable space, the kitchen was small and outdated, and the dining space was becoming too tight as the children grew.

Working with Sicolo Webb Architects, we helped to reimagine the ground floor and create a space that truly works for them.

We removed the old existing rear extension and built a single-storey rear extension, opening everything up into one bright, flowing space. Large sliding doors now connect the home to the garden, bringing in natural light and making it feel bigger and more welcoming.

Inside, we installed a beautiful new Magnet Kitchens kitchen with a central island—perfect for family life and entertaining. The whole ground floor was upgraded with new insulation, underfloor heating, and a full redecoration.

Outside, we raised and repaved the patio with porcelain tiles, added a pergola, built planters, and installed a safe glass barrier so the children can play freely.

Sustainability was also key, with an air source heat pump and EV charger provision included to future-proof the home.

The result? A warm, open, and practical family space they can grow into for years to come.

The Besley&Co team just levelled up!

Yesterday we spent the day with AP First Aid Training completing our First Aid training — and what a valuable experience it was!

From CPR to defibrillator use, wound care to emergency response, Paul and the team packed the day with everything we need to look after one another on site and beyond. Fingers crossed we never have to use it, but being prepared to look after each other – and others – is something we take seriously.

And the best part? It wasn't just informative — it was genuinely brilliant fun. The kind of training day you actually enjoy.

A huge thank you to Paul Hudson at AP First Aid Training for delivering such an engaging and informative session — we honestly can't recommend him enough. If your team needs first aid training (and they do!), Paul is your man. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
