House Renovations Across Bath & North East Somerset
CJM Build carries out house renovations in Bath, Radstock, Midsomer Norton and surrounding areas, specialising in high-quality property refurbishments and internal renovations. Whether you have recently bought a period property that needs bringing up to modern standards or want to update your current layout, renovating your house is the most rewarding way to create a home that perfectly suits your lifestyle.
From full house modernisations and structural knock-throughs to bespoke bathroom refurbishments and internal plastering, we manage every phase of the project with thorough care and attention to detail. Operating on a strict one-project-at-a-time policy, we ensure our full attention is on your renovation every single day until the job is completed to the highest standard.
Why Invest in a Professional Property Renovation?
With property prices and moving costs continuing to rise across Somerset, renovating your existing home or updating a fixer-upper is often far more practical and cost-effective than moving house. A well-planned home refurbishment allows you to reconfigure awkward layouts, upgrade outdated fixtures, and maximize every square foot of living space.
Some of the main benefits of a complete home renovation include:
Tailored Living Spaces: Reconfigure non-functional rooms into bright, open-plan kitchen-diners or add dedicated en-suite bathrooms.
Increased Property Value: Modernising electrics, plumbing, plastering, and interiors significantly boosts your home’s market value and buyer appeal.
Improved Energy Efficiency: Replacing old plasterboard, upgrading insulation, and updating heating systems keeps your home warmer and reduces energy bills.
Stress-Free Execution: Working with one dedicated team for structural brickwork, plastering, tiling, and trade management eliminates the headaches of juggling multiple contractors.
CJM Build works closely with homeowners across Bath and North East Somerset, providing transparent communication, reliable timelines, and exceptional craftsmanship from stripped-out brickwork to the final coat of paint..

Frequently Asked Questions
Most internal home renovations—such as bathroom updates, plastering, garage conversions, and internal wall removals—do not require full planning permission unless your property is a Listed Building or located in a protected Conservation Area (common in Bath). However, structural alterations (like removing a load-bearing wall) and plumbing/electrical updates must comply with UK Building Regulations. We handle or advise on all necessary structural calculations and Building Control sign-offs so your work is fully certified.
It depends on the scale of the project. For targeted renovations—such as a single bathroom overhaul, a garage conversion, or room-by-room plastering—you can usually remain in the home comfortably. For full-house strip-outs involving structural steel installation, rewiring, and major plumbing work, living off-site for a few weeks is often faster, safer, and less disruptive for your family. We discuss logistics with you well in advance to minimise inconvenience.
Timelines vary according to room size and scope of work:
Bathroom Refurbishment: Typically takes 7 to 12 working days from initial teardown to final tiling and sanitaryware testing.
Structural Knock-Through (RSJ Steel Installation): Takes 3 to 5 working days including propping, demolition, steel setting, and initial plastering.
Full-House Renovation: Usually ranges from 4 to 8 weeks depending on the property size and total trades required.
We provide a clear, realistic timeframe before starting and remain on-site every working day until the project is finished.
You don’t need to worry about sourcing separate trades. CJM Build manages the entire process from start to finish. We work alongside a trusted team of fully certified subcontractors (Gas Safe registered plumbers and NICEIC electrician specialists) for all utility work, providing you with one dedicated point of contact, one straightforward quote, and one high standard of quality across the entire project.
