Garage Conversions

Do you have a garage you would like to make better use of? A garage conversion can transform your living space and add as much as 10% to the value of your home.

A single garage will offer around 15m2 of floor space – perfectly suited for a playroom, separate dining room, guest bedroom, or even an accessible downstairs shower and WC.  If it is integrated or attached, a garage can add an additional room to your home, or you could consider knocking through the wall to join up with an existing living space. This option could create a larger hallway or open up a kitchen or dining room. A detached garage could be converted for more segregated uses such as an annex or a quiet home office.

Planning Permission for Garage Conversions

With many garage conversions, most of the work is internal (with the exception of changing the frontage and adding a window or two) and is normally considered Permitted Development so it won’t usually need formal planning consent. With more complex projects that may require planning permission and / or a building regulations certificate, we will ensure that all requirements are correctly met.

We provide a full service from the initial consultation and design through to the finished room.  The room will be tailored to you exact requirements and each stage will be carried out by skilled and experienced professionals.
