Single-storey extensions in Bournemouth

A single-storey extension is the most popular way to transform a home — opening up the ground floor for a bigger kitchen, dining space or family room filled with light.

Single-storey extensions in Bournemouth

Whether you want to push out the back for an open-plan kitchen-diner, fill in a side return, or build a wrap-around that does both, a single-storey extension can completely change how your home feels to live in.

We design the extension around how you actually use the space, make the most of natural light with roof lights and bi-fold or sliding doors, and tie the new structure neatly into the existing house so it looks like it was always there.

Many single-storey extensions fall under permitted development, which can avoid a full planning application — we will advise on this early so you know exactly where you stand before any money is spent.

Common questions about single-storey extensions

Do I need planning permission for a single-storey extension?
Many fall under permitted development, but it depends on the size, your property and its location. We assess this on the free site visit and tell you exactly what is needed.
How long does a single-storey extension take?
Most take roughly 8 to 12 weeks on site once started, depending on size and spec. We give you a realistic timeline with your fixed quote.
Will it add value to my home?
A well-built extension that adds usable living space typically adds value and makes the home far nicer to live in — usually more cost-effective than moving.
