HOME EXTENSION SPECIALISTS
Sometimes, a garage or loft conversion isn’t the answer; you might need it for storage, or it still won’t create enough space. A home extension can maximise space around your home, creating the perfect area for your needs.
Depending on the space available, there are several house extension types that could be available to you. So, whether you are looking for a new bedroom, a home office, extra kitchen space or a combination, there will be a solution for you.
The team at The Conversion Kings are experts on all extensions and have worked on various projects across Poole and Bournemouth. Extensions we can complete include:
- Single-storey rear extensions
- Side extensions
- Wrap-around extensions (combining side and rear)
- Double-storey extensions
Each project we take on will include working with you to design an extension that will meet your needs, as well as the building and project managing all of the work.

Opting for a home extension offers many benefits to you and your family.
Increased Living Space
Extensions create additional space that can be used in a multitude of ways, making your home more suitable for your growing needs.
Enhanced Property Value
Larger properties are valued higher, and offering more functional spaces adds value to your property.
Cost-effective
A house extension allows you to find the space you need without the expense of moving house. Plus, the higher property value when you sell will offer a good return on investment.
Multi-functional
A home extension can be used however you need, be it another bedroom, more living space, extra kitchen space, a home office or a combination of these.

PLANNING PERMISSION AND BUILDING REGULATIONS
Most home extensions won’t need planning permission because the work can sit under your Permitted Development Rights.
However, it is always a good idea to check with your local authority so that you can have any required permissions in place before building.
Permitted Development Rights criteria that need to be met include:
- It is a single-storey rear extension that extends up to 4m from the original house for detached homes or 3m for other house types. With prior approval, these can be 8m and 6m, respectively.
- It is a single-storey side extension with a maximum height of 4m and is no more than half the width of the original house.
- It is a two-storey extension that isn’t closer than 7m to the rear boundary.
There are a few circumstances where you might need planning permission. This is when:
- Your property is a listed property or in a designated area or conservation area.
- The extension covers more than half your property’s land.
- It exceeds height restrictions or extends beyond the front of the house.
All house extensions must comply with Building Regulations. This is something our team will deal with as we work. Building Regulations will cover:
- Foundations
- Drainage
- Electrics
- External and internal walls
- Kitchens and bathrooms
- Roofing

HOME EXTENSION FAQS
After being refused planning permission for an extension to our house we contacted The conversion Kings as we had heard good things about them and understood that they did garage conversions. Jeff was so knowledgeable about the current building regulations and planning permissions; we were able to have our garage converted instead giving us a much bigger extension than we originally planned.
With our expanding family we decided it was time to create more space, a loft conversion wasn’t an option and we did not have enough of a budget for a full extension. We approached The Conversion Kings about a garden annexe, they designed one for us after an initial free consultation which we loved! They were able to organise all the planning and trades needed to carry out the work. We are very pleased with the finish. Many thanks to Lory and Jeff.
We were unsure about where to even start with the loft conversion that we wanted to do. I can honestly say that The Conversions Kings made it so simple for us, they organised the planning permission, put us in touch with an architect and instructed the structural engineer and building inspector. From there they helped us design the perfect loft conversion to our specific needs and then carried out the work efficiently and honestly. Thank you Jeff and Lory.
