Questions

Working in Bournemouth

What building work do you do in Bournemouth?

Across Bournemouth (BH1) most of what we are called out for is loft conversions on semis, kitchen extensions and bathroom refits. Bournemouth is dense, mostly inter-war and post-war housing on regular plots, which is about the most straightforward setting there is for extending and converting, provided the boundary distances and the neighbours are handled properly. Every job starts with a free look at the actual house rather than a price guessed over the phone.

Do you charge extra to work in Bournemouth?

No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Bournemouth is about 5 miles from our Poole base, a run we make as a matter of course, which is why the coverage is stated up front rather than hidden in the small print.

Have you worked in Bournemouth before?

Yes. Bournemouth is fifteen minutes east of the yard, and its rows of 1930s semis are where more of our dormer lofts happen than anywhere else. We are happy to talk through the kind of jobs we have done near Square when you get in touch.

Does the housing in Bournemouth affect how the job is done?

The semis and terraces that make up most of Bournemouth bring their own patterns: party walls, shared drains and neighbours within a few feet of the work. We deal with party wall notices and neighbour courtesies as a normal part of the job rather than an afterthought, and the regular structure of that housing stock means loft conversions and rear extensions are efficient, well-understood work.

Will I need planning permission in Bournemouth?

Bournemouth is dense, mostly inter-war and post-war housing on regular plots, which is about the most straightforward setting there is for extending and converting, provided the boundary distances and the neighbours are handled properly. In practice a lot of single storey extensions and rear dormer loft conversions are permitted development, and most of the rest is a straightforward application. Building regulations approval is separate and is needed either way. We tell you which applies to your house before anything is priced.

Can one team do the whole job in Bournemouth?

That is the point of how we work. Building, plumbing and general work are all in-house, so an extension in Bournemouth does not stop while we wait on somebody else’s plumber, and you have one number to ring about any part of it from the first site visit to the final walk-round.
