Garage Conversions

Garage Conversions

Have you ever thought that you needed that little bit more living space in the garage? It could be easier and more affordable to achieve than you think. With our garage conversion service, we can give your garage a completely new life. Do you want a new master suite, a new family room or maybe a games room for the kids? Whatever you decide to do with the extra space we are positive we are the team that you need. Safety is the main concern when you change the use of space in your property. Areas that are not currently used as living space usually require new electrics, heating, doorways, etc.

Please be assured that all of our tradesmen are fully insured and qualified to complete these tasks safely and to the high standard you deserve. Taking into account that in most cases you do not need planning permission to convert an existing part of your property this is a very popular way to take back unused space in your home and without the hefty price tag of an extension.

Types of Garage Conversions

There are a couple of types of garage conversion, whether the garage is integral, attached or detached from your property, that we specialise in, they are:

Single Garage

Our team can convert your single garage, by replacing the door with a brick frontage and window that matches the rest of your property. The interior can then be designed and decorated to your own tastes.

Double Garage

A double garage conversion gives you the opportunity to convert one of the sections into living spaces while retaining one garage, or our team could provide a long garage conversion where the entire double garage is turned into a living or work environment.

Planning Permission & Building Regs for Garages

Below is a summary of the planning and building regulation requirements for garage conversions, if you require assistance then our team will be happy to help.

Planning Permission

More than 75% of garage conversions we carry out do not require planning permission as they are included within Permitted Development. This is because the structure of the building is not being altered. If you live in Listed Building or a Conservation Area then planning permission may be required for small and minor changes. Likewise, new houses within a housing estate may require planning permission. Detached garage conversions may require planning permission under 'change of use'.

Building Regulations

When changing the use of a garage to habitable space it will mean that the new space will have to comply with building regulations. For more planning permission and building regulations info, visit the UK Gov portal.
