House Extensions in Poole – Rear, Side & Wrap Around Extensions
We carry out house extensions in Poole that improve both space and how the property functions. Projects range from small rear extensions through to large open-plan builds involving structural alterations and full internal reconfiguration.
Many homes in Poole benefit from extensions, particularly where original layouts feel restrictive or outdated. Our experience working on local properties, from 1930s semis to modern developments allows us to plan extensions efficiently and avoid common issues.

Types of House Extensions in Poole
We carry out a range of extension types depending on the property and available space.
Single Storey Extensions
Commonly used to create larger kitchens and open-plan living areas. Suitable for many Poole homes where garden depth allows.
Rear Extensions
Extending into the garden to connect kitchen, dining and living spaces. Often completed under permitted development.
Rear extensions are one of the most common ways to increase space in Poole properties, particularly for creating larger kitchens and open-plan living areas. You can read more about this type of project in our guide to rear extensions in Poole, including typical layouts and what to expect.
Wrap Around Extensions
In addition to standard rear and side extensions, some projects combine both to create a larger, more flexible layout. These are known as wrap around extensions and are often used to completely transform ground floor space. You can read more in our guide to wrap around extensions in Poole.
Side Return Extensions
Making use of unused side space, often seen in older or terraced properties.
Rental & HMO Extensions
Designed to maximise usable space and increase rental value.

We assist with:
- Permitted development guidelines

- Structural calculations
- Building control coordination
- Party wall considerations
Our experience with house extensions in Poole helps ensure projects progress smoothly and comply with current regulations.
Before starting a house extension in Poole, it’s important to understand whether planning permission is required or if the work falls under permitted development. For a clear overview of the rules and what applies to different types of extensions, see our guide to planning permission for extensions in Poole.
Structural Considerations for Extensions
Most extensions involve structural work, particularly when creating open-plan layouts.
We regularly carry out:
- Steel beam installation
- Load-bearing wall removal
