Project Overview

Complete Home Renovation & Extension in Redland, Bristol

This beautiful period property on Woodstock Road in Redland underwent a full home renovation, remodelling and rear extension to create a bright, open-plan family home while preserving its traditional character and complying with conservation area requirements.

The project involved a complete transformation of the property, including structural alterations, a bespoke kitchen installation, full electrical and plumbing upgrades, a new heating system, bespoke storage solutions, hardwood floor restoration, bathroom remodelling, insulation improvements, decorating and a stunning light-filled extension designed for modern family living.

Working within Bristol's strict conservation guidelines, our team carefully balanced contemporary functionality with timeless period features to create a home that perfectly reflects the clients' lifestyle and the surrounding architecture.

The Brief

Creating a Dream Family Home That Respects Its Heritage

Our clients wanted to transform their house into their forever family home—one that combined modern open-plan living with the charm and character of a traditional Redland property.

Their vision included:

  • Opening up the kitchen and dining spaces to create a brighter, more sociable family environment.

  • Building a light-filled rear extension that would become the heart of the home for entertaining and everyday living.

  • Retaining and enhancing original period features wherever possible.

  • Combining the existing bathroom and WC to create a luxurious family bathroom and shower room.

  • Improving storage throughout the property with bespoke joinery solutions.

  • Upgrading insulation and energy efficiency without compromising the character of the home.

  • Installing a completely new electrical, plumbing and heating system.

  • Fully renovating and redecorating every room to the highest standard.

The challenge was delivering a modern family lifestyle while ensuring every element remained sympathetic to the property's conservation area setting.

Our Approach (The JAS Difference)

Delivering Excellence Despite Planning Delays & Hidden Challenges

Every renovation project uncovers surprises, and Woodstock Road was no exception.

Once work began, we discovered poorly constructed and unstable brickwork hidden within existing walls, alongside outdated and unsafe electrical installations that required complete replacement. Additional structural design work was needed to ensure the property met modern standards while respecting planning constraints.

One of the biggest challenges was significant planning delays, which extended the overall programme. Rather than allowing the project to stall, our team developed a phased approach that enabled work to continue in an unconventional but highly effective sequence.

By completing the internal renovations first and constructing the extension once planning approval was secured, we helped the clients move forward with their dream home far sooner than waiting for the entire planning process to conclude.

This proactive approach ultimately saved the homeowners an estimated 10–15% in construction inflation costs that would have been incurred had the work been delayed by a further 12–18 months.

The project also showcased our expertise in bespoke craftsmanship, including:

  • A handmade bespoke kitchen designed specifically for the family.

  • Beautiful hardwood herringbone flooring, professionally restored and sanded.

  • Custom-built storage and joinery solutions throughout the home.

  • A completely new heating system for improved comfort and efficiency.

  • High-quality finishes that blend modern living with traditional period charm.

At JAS Building Services, we believe in finding solutions, maintaining momentum and delivering exceptional results—even when projects present unexpected challenges.

The Results

A Stunning Period Home Designed for Modern Family Living

The completed renovation has transformed Woodstock Road into a beautiful, bright and practical family home that will serve the owners for many years to come.

The finished property now benefits from:

✔ Open-plan kitchen and dining spaces filled with natural light.

✔ A stunning rear extension that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living.

✔ A bespoke handcrafted kitchen tailored to the family's lifestyle.

Most importantly, the home retains the timeless period features and architectural character that make Redland one of Bristol's most desirable places to live.

Through careful planning, flexible project management and exceptional craftsmanship, we helped our clients create their dream family home while protecting the heritage of the property and delivering significant cost savings along the way.
