House extensions in Bournemouth
Looking to stay put rather than move? We design and build house extensions across the BCP area — from rear kitchen extensions that open onto the garden to double-storey additions that add bedrooms without eating the plot.
Ryan’s team handles groundwork, structure, electrics, plumbing and finishes so you are not project-managing five firms. Checkatrade reviewers regularly mention clear updates and work completed to a high standard.
Based in Bournemouth. We regularly work in Westbourne, Southbourne, Boscombe, Winton, Poole, Christchurch and Ferndown.

What we can do
Double-storey extensions
Extra bedrooms and bathrooms stacked over a ground-floor living space, using garden area efficiently.
Rear kitchen extensions
The most requested job we see: a brighter kitchen-diner with better connection to the garden. Alison’s Checkatrade review is typical of how we run these builds.
Side return & wraparounds
Using the unused alley beside a Victorian or Edwardian terrace to widen the kitchen without a full rear box.
Why local clients pick SW Property Care
Ryan and his team were excellent. They were always keeping me up to date with the build. The work was done on time and to a very high quality.
The team worked on our property for 11 weeks, replacing two roofs, repointing and rebuilding damaged exterior brickwork. They have literally breathed new life into a classic Edwardian era building.
Ryan was great at mobilising the teams and coordinating the works and was also hands on with the big jobs. We can highly recommend him as trustworthy, reliable and honest.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a house extension cost in Bournemouth?
It depends on size, specification and ground conditions. As a rough guide, many single-storey extensions start around £1,500 per square metre. We give a fixed quote after seeing the property.
Do I need planning permission for an extension?
Not always — some rear extensions fall under permitted development. We help you check the rules for your house and support applications if they are needed.
How long does the work take?
A typical single-storey rear extension is often 8–12 weeks on site. We agree a realistic programme before we start.
Can you work with drawings I already have?
Yes. We can work with your architect or recommend designers we already know. Structural calculations and load-bearing wall removals are part of what we organise.
