Swanage sits within the Purbeck Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where planning is tighter than inland, materials are scrutinised, and the salt-laden weather off the sea decides which specifications actually last. In practice most of what we are asked for in Swanage is extensions, with the rest of what we do available alongside it.
Single and double storey rear, side and wrap-around extensions across Poole and Dorset, built by one team from the first spade in the ground to the last coat of paint.
Dormer, hip-to-gable and Velux loft conversions across Poole and the BH postcodes, taken from a dusty roof space to a finished bedroom, office or en-suite.
Structural openings, brickwork, garden and boundary walls, repairs, alterations and the jobs that have been sitting on the list for a year.
Full bathroom and en-suite installations, plus the first and second fix plumbing that runs through every extension and loft we build.
The whole job under one roof: design and drawings coordinated, the structure built, the trades run to a programme, and the keys handed back to a finished house.
Turning an integral or attached garage into a proper room: an office, a snug, a utility, a downstairs bedroom or a fifth space for a growing family.
Full and partial renovations across Poole and Dorset: rooms reconfigured, walls out and steels in, new kitchens and bathrooms, rewires and replumbs coordinated, plaster, floors and decoration.

Very much so. Swanage is inside the Purbeck AONB, so materials and massing get looked at harder than they would inland, and the weather off the sea is unforgiving on anything specified cheaply. Renders, fixings and roof details that are fine in a sheltered suburb do not last long facing the Channel, and we specify accordingly.
