Timber Extensions in Weston

Timber frame extensions — typically cheaper and faster than traditional blockwork, with the same building-regs compliance. TM Carpentry handles the structural carpentry side: frame, roof structure, sheathing and external cladding. Building regs apply regardless of construction method, and Bath has a lot of conservation-area properties where permitted-development rights don't apply. Available across Bath, Bristol and Keynsham — see the areas covered for specific neighbourhoods.

About Weston

What extensions typically look like in Weston

Weston is dominated by 1930s semis and post-war detached houses with family-sized to generous rear gardens (12–20m). Most Weston properties are outside the Bath Conservation Area. Many are not listed.

Honest note: The descriptions below are generalisations — what's typical or commonly found in Weston, based on the area's documented housing stock. Every property is different, so Tom will always confirm what's actually there on the site visit before quoting.

Typical property types

  • 1930s semis (3-bed)
  • Post-war detached houses
  • Some larger Victorian villas

Planning & permissions

The planning context in Weston

Most Weston extensions qualify for Permitted Development because the properties are outside the Bath Conservation Area. Tom will tell you on the site visit whether PD applies for your specific extension.

Common extension patterns in Weston

Common Weston extension patterns: 5–6m single-storey rear extensions on the 1930s semis, wraparound extensions on the wider 1930s plots, and (occasionally) two-storey rear extensions on the post-war detached houses. Most extensions use timber cladding or render carrier. Building Regs apply to all extensions.

Local questions

Weston — common questions

My Weston 1930s semi has a 15m garden — is that enough for a 6m extension?
Yes — 15m gives you a 6m single-storey rear extension comfortably, with 9m of garden remaining. PD-friendly for a 4m rear extension on an attached house; 6m would need neighbour consultation under PD but is usually approved without a full application. Tom will tell you on the site visit.
Can I extend my Weston property with a wraparound extension?
Yes — wraparound extensions are common on Weston's wider 1930s semi plots. Most wraparounds need a planning application because they exceed the PD limits for side extensions, but Weston is outside the Conservation Area so applications are usually approved within 8–13 weeks.
Can I extend my Weston property with a two-storey extension?
Yes — two-storey rear extensions are common on Weston's larger 1930s and post-war plots. Most two-storey extensions need a planning application because they exceed the PD limits. Weston is outside the Conservation Area so applications are usually approved within 8–13 weeks.
How much does a Weston timber extension cost?
Weston extensions are typically cheaper than central Bath's because of the lower planning overhead. Rough guide: single-storey rear extension on a 1930s semi — £30,000–£50,000; wraparound extension — £55,000–£85,000. Tom gives fixed-price quotes after the site visit.
Are you VAT registered?
No — below the threshold. Quotes are VAT-free.

Our step by step process

Our step by step process

Every job follows the same six stages. Some are quicker, some are slower — but the order and what to expect at each point is fixed, so you're never wondering what's happening.

  1. 01

    Planning conversation

    Conservation area? Listed building? Permitted development likely to apply? We confirm before any drawings.

  2. 02

    Architect drawings

    If planning is needed, an architect produces the drawings for the application. If permitted development, drawings go straight to building regs.

  3. 03

    Quote and frame order

    Fixed-price quote for our scope. Factory frame order placed once drawings are signed off — 4–8 week lead time.

  4. 04

    Foundations and groundworks

    Excavation, footings, slab. Usually a separate contractor; we coordinate the schedule.

  5. 05

    Frame raised

    Pre-made timber frame delivered and erected on site, typically in a single day.

  6. 06

    Roof, sheathing, externals

    Roof structure fitted, walls sheathed, breathable membrane and external cladding applied.

  7. 07

    Internals

    Studwork, insulation, first-fix for services. Plasterboard and finishes follow.
