Garden rooms, extensions & lofts in Wimborne

Wimborne and the villages around it are some of our favourite projects: older properties, bigger plots, and owners who tend to care about how a build sits in its surroundings.

Building in Wimborne

Expect period cottages, converted farm buildings and generous gardens. We spend more time on materials here than almost anywhere else: cedar and larch cladding that silvers down, rather than anything that looks new for a decade.

Local planning

Dorset Council territory. The Wimborne Minster conservation area is extensive and listed buildings are common in the centre, so we’ll tell you honestly at survey if an application is the sensible route.

What Wimborne customers say

Read all reviews

The staircase solution was theirs, not ours. That one idea is why we went ahead.

Emma R. · Dormer loft, Wimborne

They talked us out of the cheaper cladding and were right. Two years on it has silvered beautifully.

Jon & Alice · Cedar garden room, Colehill

A listed cottage and a nervous owner. They handled the consent and never once made me feel a nuisance.

Mrs Ashworth · Garden studio, Pamphill

A project we built in Wimborne

Loft conversion · 7 weeks · £54,200

A rear dormer that turned a Wimborne loft into a proper suite

Wimborne questions

Usually, but the rules are tighter: outbuildings must be to the rear and are size-capped. Dorset Council also has a lot of listed buildings in the centre. We’ll tell you honestly at survey whether an application is the sensible route.

Cedar or larch, almost always. Both silver down to a soft grey over two or three years and sit properly against old brick and stone. We steer people away from anything that looks new for a decade.

Yes. Colehill, Pamphill, Witchampton, Holt, Corfe Mullen and Sturminster Marshall are all well within our patch.
