Previous Projects
Gower Renovation
This beautiful project was designed with a vision that incorporated modern vibrant colours, paired with classic farm-house features. Many of the materials used in this project were reclaimed and transformed into stunning timeless features. Both doors at either end of this kitchen were bespoke hand made, created using reclaimed rafters that beautifully book-end this eye catching, high quality renovation. Our work here transformed this utilitarian space into a striking work of art.
Glen Road
Our work on Glen Road was a full renovation, both inside and out, that also included adding a single extension to the rear of the property. The client had a specific comprehensive vision for the project, which we ensured to kep at the forefront of our minds during the works. The end result of our works, allied with the client’s clear vision, has created a space that is both beautiful and homely. This is a project we are immensly proud of, as we have been able to exhibit our high quality workmanship in all areas of property renovation and building.
Mumbles Extension
This project in Mumbles added a single storey extension to the rear of the existing building. This added a substantial amount of new space to a relatively modest living space. The client wanted a space that was bright and filled with natural light. To achieve this, we installed a large 4 pane window that complimented the shape of the structure, as well as two motorised ceiling windows that function via a wireless remote control.
Larkespur Drive
This project on Larkspur Drive was a pleasure to work on. The clients stipulated that they’d like to replace their outdated and aged conservatory and together we came up with some designs for a modern yet timeless alternative. This single story extension was a joy to work on. The team here at Bancs were involved in every stage of the process, working with our partners and clients to deliver a space which had a finish of the highest quality. We constructed the foundations before installing the necessary brick work and fitting a delightful pitched roof. Our friends at McCarthy Roofing, as always, did a sterling job installing a gorgeous slate roof sourced from sustainable quarries in Wales. Aspect Aluminium installed gorgeous bi-fold windows and doors, allowing the space to be opened up in the summer. We finished the cladding in red cedar before creating bespoke furnishings inside including a delightful bench seat.
Testimonial
“Owain and his team were an absolute delight to have working on our extension.
They worked to a very high standard, checking regularly with us on their progress nothing was too much trouble.
Every evening they left our property clean and tidy ready for the next day.
Everything went so smoothly, they were professional, punctual, polite and excellent at communicating.
We would highly recommend them and have done so on numerous occasions.
Looking forward to their return to complete phase two in the near future.
We wish them all the best”

Lower Pitton Farmhouse
This traditional barn conversion in the heart of Gower showcased all the technical and creative skills honed by the Bancs teams’ decades of experience. Our client had asked for a conversion of the living space of his dilapidated, single story, farmhouse. We came up with a design that fitted with the aesthetic of the century old dwelling, celebrating the pitched and curved roof with a beautiful, handcrafted, weight bearing oak frame. The vaulted ceiling was left open to create a living space which felt airy and vast. The exterior was finished in reclaimed Welsh slate by our friends at McCarthy Roofing and our friends at Aspect Aluminium provided six beautiful velux windows, allowing glimpses through to the sky and creating a space which was filled with natural light throughout the day. Oak featured through the finishing of the job including the installation of a beautiful oak mantle.
Testimonial
“Owain and the team at Bancs are brilliant. From first time meeting them to the finishing up, they have been professional, understanding, creative and very good at their job.
The room they created for me is perfect and I can’t fault them.
The oak beams look amazing and the carpentry is faultless creating a beautiful space.
The roof was curved and had its technical issues, but once again this was not a problem from the team. It has been built perfectly and looks amazing
I highly recommend them and would use them again as I plan to with a new project I have in mind.”

Caswell Avenue
Our work on Caswell Avenue included fitting a modern pitched dormer roof on a self build project. This dormer roof compliments this lovely property on the Gower Peninsula. Our team were responsible for fitting the necessary structural steel and joists before laying a new weyrock floor. After this was achieved we installed a timber framed, pitched, dormer roof and brand new UPVC windows. The client had specified that they’d like a natural wood cladding so we decided on a sustainable Siberian larch finish, a product which will age as gracefully as this beautiful house deserves. After our partners at McCarthy Roofing had finished, the roof with gorgeous fibre concrete slate, we were able to complete our assigned work, fitting fascias and soffits, installing gutters and downpipes and insulating the whole project before fitting plasterboard inside. This gorgeous property was then handed back to the clients for decorating.
Testimonial
“Exceptional standard of work, such a great team. Owain communicated so well throughout project, the detailing was exactly what we wanted. They were able to advise on design and key materials – The end product was quality. If we ever build a house – Bancs will be building it.”

Northway
This property in Northway was a new build which Bancs has handled from start to finish. The project was completed in two stages while the client generated further capital to finish the project to the highest possible standard. Part one of the project involved the building of the structure and the installation of the roof. The client chose to install dormer windows into their upstairs, maximizing the space available to them. We finished the exterior with a red cedar cladding, which is a product that will age gracefully over it’s lifetime. Stage one was completed by fitting fascias and soffits and installing gutters and downpipes. We are extremely excited to get started on the second stage of this build.
