Extensions that respect the character of your home
Older homes need more than extra space stuck on the side. We create home improvements in Bodmin that sit comfortably with traditional Cornwall properties and feel right for the way you live now. Our careful brickwork, masonry and structural work help the new build connect properly with the original house, so the finished result looks considered rather than obvious.
That matters when you're adding a kitchen extension, a utility room or a larger single-storey space where your family spends most of its time. We work closely with you from the first ideas to the build, so your plans take shape practically. Gareth Bilkey Building Contractors Ltd brings hands-on building experience to projects across Bodmin, with a steady approach that keeps disruption to your day under control.
Built properly from the ground up
Our foundations and groundworks are crucial long before the walls go up. We take that stage seriously because a solid base supports everything above it, especially on extension projects where old and new structures need to work together.
Our masonry and bricklaying background helps us deal with the detail that gives an extension strength and a clean finish. That can be crucial when you're extending an older property with uneven levels or established features to work around. We keep the process clear at Gareth Bilkey Building Contractors Ltd, so you know how the build is progressing without feeling like your home has turned into a building site free-for-all.
A better fit for older homes
Blending an extension with an existing property requires both a keen eye and solid construction skills. We pay attention to proportions, materials and how the new space joins the original building, so the finish feels natural. A well-planned extension can improve movement through your home and make daily life easier without losing the character that made you choose the property in the first place. Our build process also aims to keep noise, mess and disruption manageable while the work is in progress.
