Builders in Bar Hill, Cambridgeshire
Building Services in Bar Hill
Prestige Building and Brickwork works on homes in Bar Hill and the villages to the north-west of Cambridge. Our work includes house extensions, loft conversions, new builds, whole-home refurbishment, structural alterations, specialist brickwork and property maintenance and repairs.
We do not have an office in Bar Hill. Our base is in Great Shelford, and Bar Hill is one of the villages we cover across South Cambridgeshire.
Tell us what you’d like to achieve, your project postcode and how we can contact you. Send any plans or photos you already have; they’re optional at this stage. We’ll explain the most useful next step, arrange a site visit where appropriate, and confirm which drawings, calculations and specifications are needed for a detailed quotation.
A Completed Extension and Refurbishment in Bar Hill
Our Thruffle Way case study documents a two-storey rear extension with an extensive internal refurbishment of a Bar Hill home. Householder planning permission was granted by South Cambridgeshire District Council in January 2026, and the project was completed in 2026.
The work included demolition and strip-out, new foundations, cavity brick-and-block walls, new ground and first floors, and the large structural openings that join the extension to the original house. The roofs combine pitched and flat sections with standing-seam zinc detailing and three framed rooflights. The extension is in facing brick to match the house, with a fully glazed gable at first-floor level and three wide glazed door sets opening onto a new porcelain-paved patio.
Inside, the refurbishment covered reconfigured rooms, pocket doors, insulation, plasterboarding and plastering, underfloor heating, electrics, plumbing, joinery, bathroom tiling and the kitchen and utility services. Architectural drawings were by Chris Low Architecture and structural calculations by Vision Structures Ltd.
Planning Building Work in Bar Hill?
Bar Hill is in South Cambridgeshire, so planning applications go to South Cambridgeshire District Council through Greater Cambridge Shared Planning, as they did for the Thruffle Way extension. Building Regulations approval is a separate step from planning permission. If your plans are still developing, our planning permission guide and permitted development guide explain the routes, and the house extension cost guide covers realistic budgets.
