At Carrara Sandbanks, we specialise in delivering high-end, fully managed property transformations across the South Coast. Our in-house team covers every stage of the process — from planning and structural work to bespoke finishes and interior design — ensuring a seamless experience and exceptional results. Whether you're renovating a single room or reimagining your entire home, we turn your vision into reality with precision, care, and timeless style.
Full Home Renovation
We transform properties from the ground up, delivering timeless, high-end renovations tailored to how you live.
Full home renovations offer the opportunity to completely reimagine how a property looks, feels, and functions. Whether you’re modernising a tired layout, improving flow and storage, or restoring original charm, we take a tailored, design-led approach to every project. From first concept to final decoration, our team oversees it all—planning, structural work, plumbing, electrics, carpentry, and premium finishes. We ensure harmony across every detail and deliver the highest standards of workmanship. With clear communication and minimal disruption, we make the renovation journey smooth, structured, and rewarding—transforming homes not just in style, but in how they support your lifestyle.
A full home renovation is a rare chance to completely reconfigure how a property works for modern life—improving layout, comfort, and value in one cohesive transformation. At Carrara Sandbanks, we deliver major renovations for both houses and high-end flats, tailored precisely to the way you live and the architecture you live in.
From the outset, we take time to understand your vision, assessing spatial potential and developing clear plans aligned with your goals. Whether the priority is creating an open-plan living area, restoring architectural features, or integrating new technology, we bring structure and clarity to complex briefs.
We manage the entire process with care—from early design and planning through to the last layer of decoration—ensuring every aspect is expertly handled. All technical trades are coordinated in-house to maintain control, quality, and accountability across the board. Our standard is simple: work that lasts, spaces that feel cohesive, and a result that enhances everyday life as much as long-term value.
Extensions & Structural Changes
Add space, light, and value with expert extensions and structural alterations built to enhance your home’s flow and function.
Creating more space doesn’t have to mean moving home. A well-designed extension or structural reconfiguration can dramatically transform the way you live—introducing light, flow, and functionality to your existing property. Whether it's a rear extension, loft conversion, side return, or removing internal walls to open up a layout, we manage every stage with clarity and precision. Our in-house team coordinates planning applications, architectural support, structural engineering, and full construction works—alongside plumbing, electrical, roofing, plastering, and carpentry. Every element is carefully integrated for a seamless result. We create spaces that look beautiful and work beautifully too—enhancing daily life and long-term value.
Extending your home offers a unique opportunity to add space, enhance flow, and increase value without leaving the location you cherish. At Carrara Sandbanks, we specialise in high-quality extensions and structural alterations for houses and flats across the South Coast, focusing on designs that complement your property’s character and lifestyle.
We begin with a thorough assessment of your site, existing layout, and planning constraints to develop practical, elegant solutions. Whether adding a rear kitchen extension, loft conversion, or removing internal walls, we manage the entire process—planning permissions, architectural coordination, structural engineering, and construction management—with precision and clarity.
Our experienced team oversees all stages, from groundwork to roofing and finishes, ensuring compliance with building regulations and minimising disruption. Structural changes are executed carefully, preserving original features when required and ensuring a smooth integration with the existing fabric.
The result is more than just extra space—it’s a home transformed with improved natural light, flow, and function, tailored exactly to your needs. We prioritise transparent communication, detailed timelines, and cost clarity, making the extension process straightforward and rewarding while delivering exceptional quality and lasting value.

We partner with premium suppliers to ensure flawless finishes and seamless installations.

At Carrara Sandbanks, our kitchen service begins with thoughtful design and ends with a carefully managed installation—drawing on premium UK and European suppliers known for timeless style and lasting quality.

Every kitchen we deliver is tailored to the property, the layout, and the client’s way of living. We begin by assessing spatial potential, helping to shape an efficient, elegant design that works in harmony with its surroundings. From cabinetry and surfaces to appliances and storage, we offer expert guidance on materials and configuration—ensuring every element is functional, balanced, and built to endure.
Once the design is approved, our team prepares the space and oversees installation. That includes any necessary reconfiguration, first-fix services, flooring, plastering, lighting, and final fitting. We coordinate all stages with clarity, professionalism, and attention to detail—so your kitchen is delivered exactly as envisioned.
Bathroom Design & Installation
Luxury bathrooms designed for comfort, beauty, and lasting performance—down to the smallest detail.
A well-designed bathroom should feel as good as it looks. At Carrara Sandbanks, we create bathrooms that combine tailored functionality with a refined, restful aesthetic—whether it’s a master en-suite, family bathroom, or compact cloakroom. We work with trusted suppliers to source high-quality sanitaryware, tiles, brassware, and finishes that balance elegance with durability. Our in-house team delivers every element—from plumbing, electrics, and ventilation to tiling and final detailing—with absolute care and precision. The result is a beautifully finished, carefully considered space that enhances your everyday routine and complements the character of your home.
At Carrara Sandbanks, we approach bathroom design as a balance of purpose and atmosphere—elevating everyday rituals through thoughtful planning, elegant materials, and meticulous installation. Whether you’re updating a compact cloakroom or transforming a master suite, our role is to shape a space that reflects your taste, supports your routine, and brings a sense of calm to your home.
Our process begins with a focused design consultation, where we take time to understand how the space will be used, what styles you’re drawn to, and any practical considerations like plumbing, lighting, or ventilation. We explore options together—from modern minimalism to warm, classic detailing—always guided by the architectural character of your home.
We work closely with trusted suppliers to source exceptional fixtures, fittings, surfaces, and sanitaryware. Whether you’re after a freestanding bath, bespoke vanity, large-format tiles or high-spec taps, each element is selected for its durability and design integrity. We build in modern comforts such as underfloor heating, walk-in showers, concealed lighting, or built-in storage where they serve both form and function.
Our in-house team manages every aspect of the installation. That includes structural preparation, plumbing and electrics, waterproofing, tiling, carpentry, and final decoration—coordinated by a dedicated project lead to ensure efficiency and quality control throughout. We take a methodical approach to detail, from gradients in shower trays to the alignment of tiles, and deliver each project with the care your home deserves.
We understand that bathroom work can be disruptive, so we prioritise clear communication, respectful scheduling, and precise execution at every stage. Our aim is not only to deliver an exceptional finished room, but to make the process feel streamlined, supported, and professionally managed from start to finish.
The result is a bathroom that feels considered and cohesive—a space that works beautifully and invites you in, day after day.
