About from company website

SBS SW Ltd is a well-established building company based in Sherborne, serving clients across Dorset and Somerset. With a long-standing team and strong local reputation, the same experienced builders who founded the business are still delivering quality work today. They regularly carry out building work in Sherborne, Yeovil, Dorchester, Ilminster, Taunton, and surrounding towns and villages across Dorset and Somerset. From house renovations and extensions to roofing, structural work and groundworks, SBS SW Ltd offers a complete building service, done properly by people who take pride in their work.

SBS SW LTD is a family-built business with roots stretching back over 30 years in Leigh and the surrounding Sherborne area. The story began in the early 1900s with Leslie Bartlett, who started his own building and maintenance firm. His son, Ken Bartlett, continued the family tradition with his own successful business, KL Bartletts. The next generation, Chris and Ed Bartlett, brought their specialist skills together to form what is now SBS SW LTD.

Chris has proudly continued the family legacy, keeping the business strong while honouring the values, skills, and work ethic that Ed helped build. Today, SBS SW LTD combines traditional building values with modern construction techniques. Our team of over 20 experienced tradesmen includes both long-standing professionals and the next generation of skilled workers, all sharing the same commitment to quality and customer care. As a close-knit, locally born and bred team, we take pride in helping our clients turn their ideas into reality.

From small renovations to major extensions, every project is handled with the same care, honesty, and attention to detail that has defined our family business for decades. Our blend of "old-school" workmanship and up-to-date building practices is what truly sets us apart, and why so many of our customers return to us time and time again.

New Inn

New Inn

NEW INN, BATCOMBE, DORSET

Complete renovation of a 200-year-old character property, transforming a tired historic building into a modern, comfortable family home while carefully retaining its original charm and features. The project involved extensive structural works, internal reconfiguration and a full refurbishment throughout. Particular care was taken to respect the age and traditional construction of the property, combining proven building techniques with modern upgrades to meet today's living standards. Works included a full internal renovation, upgrading of services, plastering, kitchen and bathroom installations, and improvements to the building's thermal performance. Where possible, renewable and energy-efficient solutions were incorporated to enhance efficiency while remaining sympathetic to the original structure. This was a challenging yet rewarding renovation that required experience, attention to detail and a strong understanding of heritage buildings. The completed project delivers a high-quality home that successfully blends period character with modern functionality.
