Builders in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire
Building Services in Tewkesbury
We’re a building company based in Gorsley, around half an hour from Tewkesbury along the M50, working on extensions, renovations, new builds and landscaping across the town and the villages around it. We’ve already completed a full open-plan extension in Tewkesbury, and we take on the same kind of work in Twyning, Ashchurch, Walton Cardiff, Northway and Bishop’s Cleeve. Our own team runs each job from design and groundworks through to the final finish, with one point of contact throughout.
House Extensions in Tewkesbury
Single and two-storey rear extensions, side and wraparound extensions, and open-plan kitchen-diners that open the back of the house up to the garden. Our Tewkesbury extension replaced a set of small, closed-off rooms with one bright living space under a parapet flat roof and glass lantern, with bifold doors onto the garden. We handle the drawings, Tewkesbury Borough Council planning and Building Regulations, so you deal with one team from start to finish.
New Builds Near Tewkesbury
Tewkesbury sits where the Severn and the Avon meet, and the 2007 floods showed how much of the low ground around the town can flood. On any new build plot we check the flood maps, ground levels and drainage before the foundation design is fixed. Further east, sites towards Winchcombe and the Cotswold escarpment fall within the Cotswolds National Landscape, where design and materials get closer scrutiny. We work through all of this at feasibility stage, so the design and the application are right first time.
Home Renovations in Tewkesbury
Tewkesbury is known for its medieval timber-framed buildings along Church Street, High Street and Barton Street and the alleys between them, and the historic centre is a conservation area. Twyning and Bishop’s Cleeve have conservation areas of their own. We renovate period homes with care, keeping the features that matter while updating layouts, kitchens, bathrooms and services, and for anything listed or in a conservation area we agree the approach with Tewkesbury Borough Council’s conservation team before work starts.
Driveways & Landscaping in Tewkesbury
Driveways, patios, retaining walls, garden rooms, fencing and drainage. With so much of the area close to the rivers, drainage gets extra attention here, and permeable surfaces and soakaways are sized to the actual ground rather than guessed. We cover Tewkesbury, Twyning, Ashchurch, Walton Cardiff, Northway, Priors Park, Deerhurst and Bishop’s Cleeve, plus Bredon just over the Worcestershire border.

FAQ's
Have you worked in Tewkesbury before?
Yes. We completed a full open-plan extension in Tewkesbury, replacing several small rooms with one bright kitchen, dining and living space under a glass lantern, delivered as a turnkey project. You can see it in our Tewkesbury extension case study.
Is flood risk an issue when building in Tewkesbury?
On some sites, yes. Tewkesbury sits where the Severn and the Avon meet, and parts of the town and the low ground around it are in flood zones. We check the flood maps and ground levels at the first visit, arrange a flood risk assessment where planning needs one, and design floor levels and drainage to suit.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Tewkesbury?
Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development if they stay within the size limits. Two-storey extensions, anything at the front, and work on listed buildings or in a conservation area usually need full planning permission from Tewkesbury Borough Council. We check your situation at the first visit.
Can you renovate a listed or timber-framed building?
Yes. Much of Tewkesbury’s historic centre is listed and timber-framed, and listed building consent is needed for work that affects a building’s character, inside or out. We use materials and methods that suit the building and agree the approach with the borough council’s conservation team before work starts.
Who handles Building Regulations in Tewkesbury?
Building control in the borough is run by the Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Building Control partnership, although an approved inspector can be used instead. We submit the drawings and calculations and coordinate the inspections at each stage, so you don’t have to.
Which areas around Tewkesbury do you cover?
We cover Tewkesbury and nearby villages including Twyning, Ashchurch, Walton Cardiff, Northway, Priors Park, Deerhurst, Bishop’s Cleeve and Bredon. From our base in Gorsley we also work across Cheltenham, Newent, Ledbury and Upton upon Severn.
Do you handle all trades in-house?
Our own team covers groundworks, structural work, brickwork and blockwork, carpentry, plastering, tiling, painting and decoration. Plumbing, electrics and heating are done by vetted subcontractors who work to our site standards. You deal with us directly at every stage.
