Worcestershire building,
measured in kilowatt-hours.

Extensions, renovations and energy-focused refurbishment across west Worcestershire — Worcester, Malvern, Upton, Tenbury Wells and Pershore — from a Passive House-trained team based one county west.

One county over

An honest radius: west Worcestershire is our patch.

APMBuild builds from Hereford, and the western half of Worcestershire — Worcester, Malvern, Upton-upon-Severn, Tenbury Wells, Pershore, Droitwich — sits within the same hour's radius as our home county. We don't claim the whole map; we claim the part we can service properly, with the same team that does our Herefordshire work.

The offer is the one that's been missing from the county's builder listings: general building competence plus measurable energy performance. A director trained to Passive House Level 2. PHPP pre-assessment that models your house before the skip arrives. And a direct European materials supply chain — windows, insulation, doors — typically 20–30% below UK trade pricing on equivalent specification.

Straight answer on references: our completed projects to date are in Herefordshire, minutes over the county line. We'd rather show you real work one county away than invent local case studies — the standard travels with the team.

Building in Worcestershire

Three councils, one river, and a lot of Victorian brick.

Planning. South Worcestershire is administered by three district councils — Worcester City, Malvern Hills and Wychavon — working to a shared development plan. Where your project lands determines whose conservation officers and validation lists you deal with; the paperwork differs more than homeowners expect between, say, a Malvern villa and a Pershore cottage.

The Severn. The river that makes the county's landscapes also sets its constraints. The South Worcestershire councils maintain a joint strategic flood risk assessment, and along the Severn corridor — Worcester, Upton, the riverside villages — flood zones influence everything from floor levels to whether ground-floor living space is a sensible investment. We read the flood mapping at feasibility, not after the drawings are paid for.

The stock. Malvern's Victorian and Edwardian villas, Worcester's brick terraces, and timber-framed market-town buildings in Tenbury and beyond. Solid walls, generous ceilings, real character — and heat loss to match. This is where breathable insulation systems, high-performance glazing and moisture-aware detailing earn their money, and where our extension and renovation service does its best work.

Services in the county

What we bring across the Malverns.

House extensions and renovations, kitchen and bathroom refurbishments, whole-house upgrades and the structural work beneath them. EnerPHit-route deep retrofit is a service in development — first projects now being scoped — and every project can start with a PHPP pre-assessment so decisions are made on numbers rather than folklore. For self-builders and other contractors' projects in the county, our project management, on-site mentoring and European materials supply are available here as everywhere in the UK.

FAQ

Worcestershire building questions

Extensions, renovations and energy-efficient refurbishment across west Worcestershire.

Which parts of Worcestershire do you cover?

The western and central parts of the county sit within our normal working radius from Hereford: Worcester itself, Malvern, Upton-upon-Severn, Tenbury Wells, Pershore and Droitwich. For projects further east we'll tell you honestly at first contact whether the logistics work for your job.

Who handles planning in Worcestershire?

It depends where you are. South Worcestershire planning runs through three district councils — Worcester City, Malvern Hills and Wychavon — which share a joint development plan and a joint strategic flood risk assessment. Your application goes to the district; we build to what they approve.

Can you work on Malvern's Victorian villas?

Yes — that's exactly the kind of building our approach suits. Malvern's Victorian and Edwardian stock is characterful, solid-walled and often draughty. Upgrading it takes breathable insulation, careful window strategy and ventilation that manages moisture rather than ignoring it. Much of the town also sits against the Malvern Hills National Landscape, where design scrutiny is higher.

Does flooding affect building work along the Severn?

In the river corridor, yes — Worcester, Upton-upon-Severn and the villages along the Severn all carry flood-zone designations in places. That shapes what's sensible: floor levels, resilient materials, drainage design, and sometimes whether a ground-floor extension is the right move at all. We factor flood risk into feasibility before you spend money on drawings.

Do you have completed projects in Worcestershire?

Our completed portfolio to date is concentrated in Herefordshire — we won't invent local references, and any building company that does should worry you. What we bring to Worcestershire is the same team, the same Passive House-trained detailing and the same European supply chain, one county over. You can inspect the standard of finish in our portfolio and visit comparable completed work by arrangement.
