October 2024 – The Big Conversion Company Ltd
Are you starting to feel like your home is bursting at the seams? Maybe you’ve added to your family, or you’re working from home more often, and the space you once loved now feels a little cramped. If you’re considering moving but feel anxious about leaving your home and neighbourhood, there’s a much simpler, cost-effective solution: a home extension.
At The Big Conversion Company, we specialise in designing and building home extensions for families just like yours across Bournemouth and surrounding areas. Whether you need an extra bedroom, a bigger kitchen, or a home office, we’ll create the perfect space—without you having to pack up and move.
Why Consider a Home Extension?
1. Stay in the Neighbourhood You Love
Moving house in the UK can be a costly and stressful process—especially with rising property prices and stamp duty to consider. But, if you love your area, your children’s school is nearby, and you’ve invested in your home, why go through the hassle of moving? A home extension lets you expand your living space and stay in the neighbourhood you love, keeping everything familiar while giving you the extra room you need.
2. Tailored to Your Family’s Needs
One of the greatest benefits of a home extension is that it can be fully customised to meet your family’s needs. Whether you want a larger kitchen for family dinners, a cosy playroom for the kids, or a private home office, we’ll work with you to design a space that’s perfect for your lifestyle.
3. Add Value to Your Property
In the UK, a well-planned extension can significantly increase the value of your home. Whether you’re adding bedrooms, bathrooms, or open-plan living areas, potential buyers will love the extra space, making your home even more attractive when it’s time to sell. So not only will you enjoy the benefits now, but you’re also making a smart long-term investment.
Popular Home Extension Options in the UK
If you’re unsure about which type of extension will best suit your home, here are some of the most popular options in the UK:
1. Rear Extensions
A rear extension is a great way to open up your home and connect it to your garden, creating a larger, more airy kitchen, dining room, or family space. This is perfect if you love to entertain or want more space for your growing family. It’s one of the most common extension choices for UK homes, especially in suburban areas.

2. Side Return Extensions
Many terraced and semi-detached homes in the UK have an unused alley or “side return” along the side of the house. A side return extension transforms this narrow, often wasted space into part of your home, usually expanding your kitchen or living area. This option allows you to gain extra square footage without taking up much garden space.

3. Double-Storey Extensions
If you need significantly more space, a double-storey extension might be the best option. This type of extension adds room on both floors of your home—typically creating extra bedrooms upstairs and larger living areas downstairs. It’s ideal for growing families who need more space but want to stay in the same location.
