Are you looking for that extra bit of space?
Guest room? Utility room? Man-cave? Or maybe you just want to up the value of your property a little? Whatever the reason, an extension offers a whole variety of possibilities for a homeowner. Whether that's to make entertaining friends and family easier with an attractive conservatory or spacious dining room — or simply to offer more storage space and declutter the pre-existing rooms.
Types of House Extensions We Build
Not all extensions are the same. At KVL Construction, we plan and build a wide range of home extension types across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch:
Single-storey extensions — the most popular choice for extending a kitchen, creating an open-plan dining room or adding a utility space
Double-storey extensions — add significant floor space on both levels, ideal for larger families needing extra bedrooms and living areas
Rear extensions — make use of garden space to extend into the back of the property without affecting the front elevation
Side-return extensions — utilise the narrow gap alongside your property, commonly used to widen kitchens
Garage conversions — transform an underused garage into a functional living space such as a home office, gym or bedroom
Conservatories & orangeries — bring more light into your home with a stylish glazed extension that connects your interior to the garden

Combining Your Extension With a Home Renovation
Building an extension is one of the best opportunities you'll get to address the rest of the property at the same time. We've seen it many times — a homeowner plans a rear extension for a new open-plan kitchen, then realises the living room leading to it hasn't been touched in fifteen years. Or a double-storey addition reveals that the bathroom on the first floor is overdue a proper refit.
Tackling the renovation alongside the build saves you a second round of disruption, a second set of planning conversations and, in most cases, a meaningful amount on overall cost. Trades are already on site, skips are already hired, and the project is already being managed.
KVL handles home renovations across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch — from single-room refurbs to full property overhauls. If you're already considering an extension, it's worth having the conversation about what else might benefit from attention at the same time. Find out more about our renovation services
