Garage Conversions
Extra space. More value.

Most garage conversions are covered by permitted development and don't need planning permission. Exceptions include flats and maisonettes, listed buildings, conservation areas and homes affected by an Article 4 direction. We check your property's planning position before any work starts.

Yes. A conversion must meet Building Regulations for insulation, damp-proofing, fire safety, ventilation, electrics and any structural changes. We coordinate Building Control sign-off as part of the project.

Most single-garage conversions take around three to five weeks on site, depending on the amount of structural work, plumbing and the level of finish. We give you a programme with your quote.

Converting a garage into good-quality living space usually adds value and makes a home more sellable, especially where the garage was only used for storage. We'll give you honest advice on parking and layout so the conversion works for buyers too.

Yes. Popular uses include home offices, bedrooms, gyms, playrooms, utility rooms and self-contained annexes. Rooms with sleeping or bathroom facilities have extra Building Regulations requirements, which we take care of.

Yes. We can brick up the opening to match the house or fit a dummy door so the front elevation still looks right — whichever suits the property.

We convert integral, attached and detached garages, as well as part-garage conversions where you want to keep some storage.

Yes. We insulate the walls, floor and roof to current standards, install damp-proofing where needed and extend your heating, so the room is comfortable all year round.

You'll lose the garage as a parking space, but most homes keep driveway parking. We'll talk this through so you're happy with the trade-off before you commit.

For adding a single room, a garage conversion is usually faster, cheaper and less disruptive than an extension, because it reuses the existing walls, roof and foundations. An extension makes more sense when you need significantly more space or want to keep the garage — we're happy to advise on both.

Even where a conversion is permitted development, a Lawful Development Certificate from your council is useful proof that the work is lawful — which helps when you come to sell. We can advise whether one is worth obtaining for your property.

Yes. Where the room adjoins living space or will be used as an office, gym or media room, we can add acoustic insulation to the walls, floor and ceiling to keep noise transfer to a minimum.

Yes. From survey and Building Control to structural work, electrics, plastering and a decoration-ready finish — it is all done by our own team.
