Home extension by The Big Conversion Company

House Extensions in Poole

More space for the home you already love — rear, side and wrap-around extensions across Poole.

Extend instead of moving

Once you add stamp duty, agent fees, legal costs and the move itself, trading up in Poole is expensive — and you leave your street, schools and neighbours behind. Extending puts that money into your own property instead.

We design and build extensions across Poole, from Lower Parkstone and Penn Hill to Broadstone, Merley and Hamworthy — open-plan kitchen living spaces, extra bedrooms, utility rooms and larger family areas. Bi-fold doors, roof lanterns and underfloor heating can all be designed in from the start, far cheaper than adding them later.

Types of extension we build

Rear extensions

The most popular choice, usually to create an open-plan kitchen living space opening onto the garden.

Side extensions

Make use of side returns and driveways to widen kitchens or add a utility room and WC.

Wrap-around extensions

Rear and side combined, for the biggest transformation of the ground floor.

Honest pricing

What a house extension costs in Poole

Size, design and the level of finish drive the cost: a modest single-storey extension is a very different project from a large open-plan kitchen extension with structural glazing.
