At Care Home Builders, we’ve spent over 20 years delivering care home construction projects across Somerset, from new builds and extensions to full-scale refurbishments. Our work is entirely focused on the care sector, which means we understand the regulations, day-to-day needs, and future planning that come with creating safe, comfortable, and well-run care homes. We’ve worked with operators and developers in towns like Taunton, Yeovil, Frome, and Bridgwater, supporting everything from first-time projects to large-scale rollouts. No matter the size or setting, our goal remains the same: to help you deliver a care environment that supports residents, staff, and your long-term vision.
New Build Care Homes
From rural plots in Wells to town-centre sites in Weston-super-Mare, we deliver new-build care homes that are thoughtfully designed and built to CQC standards. We manage everything from initial feasibility and planning input to construction, fit-out, and handover, keeping control of quality, budget, and timelines throughout.
Refurbishment & Compliance Upgrades
We help care homes across Somerset modernise their spaces and bring buildings in line with current health, safety, and accessibility standards. Whether you’re upgrading bathrooms, fire systems, or communal areas, we carefully phase works to minimise disruption to your operations, keeping residents and staff safe and supported throughout.
Extensions & Space Planning
If you need to expand capacity or add new facilities like therapy rooms, lounges, or ensuite bedrooms, we can help you make the most of your site. Our extension work across Somerset is tailored, well-integrated, and always designed to support care delivery, not disrupt it.
Design Guidance Built on Real Care Experience
We advise on layouts, access, materials, and finishes that make life easier for everyone in the building: residents, carers, visitors, and management alike. We understand the impact of small design decisions on the day-to-day operations of a care home, and we incorporate this insight into every project.

Not all care home refurbishments are the same. The scope, trigger, urgency, and design brief all vary depending on what’s driving the project. Understanding which type of refurbishment applies to your situation is the first step to scoping it correctly and budgeting for it accurately. These are the six main types of care home refurbishment..

It is NOT possible to take an ordinary care home, paint some coloured railings, and say, "This place is dementia friendly." Dementia affects how individuals perceive space, light, colour, sound, pattern, and movement. To be successful, the environment must support these changes rather than contradicting them. Here’s what makes dementi..
