Builders in Ferndown
We cover Ferndown, West Parley, West Moors and Longham, eight miles north-east of Poole.
Ferndown is largely postwar and later, with generous plots and a lot of detached and bungalow stock – which is why so much of our work there is extensions, garage conversions and remodelling rather than restoration.
Building in Ferndown: what we have learned
Big plots, big opportunities
The plot sizes around Ferndown and West Parley often allow a substantial rear or wrap-around extension without troubling permitted development limits. It is one of the areas where a well-planned extension delivers the most usable space for the money.
Heathland and protected habitat
Several sites in this area fall within the 400m and 5km zones around protected Dorset heathland, which brings ecological contributions and constraints on new dwellings. It rarely affects extensions but it matters a great deal for new builds, and it is worth knowing about before you buy a plot.
Driveways and frontages
Wide frontages mean driveway and hard landscaping work is a big part of what we do here, usually built permeable so surface water is dealt with inside the boundary rather than pushed onto the road.

How much does a builder cost in Ferndown?
It depends entirely on the job, and anyone who quotes you a figure over the phone without seeing the property is guessing. What we can tell you is that our quotes are free, written, itemised, and state plainly what is excluded. We visit, measure, and send you a price you can actually compare against someone else's.
Who handles building control in Ferndown?
Building regulations for Ferndown go through Dorset Council. We deal with the notices, book the inspections and get the completion certificate as a matter of routine – it is included in what we do rather than left to you.
How soon could you start in Ferndown?
Small works can often be fitted in within a few weeks. Extensions, renovations and new builds are typically booked several months ahead, particularly through spring and summer. Ring and ask – we will give you a realistic date rather than the one you would like to hear.
