A BETTER WAY TO CREATE MORE SPACE
When your family needs more room, moving house or building a large extension aren't your only options.
If you've already got a garage that's barely being used, you may already own the space you need.
A professionally completed garage conversion can turn that space into an office, bedroom, playroom, snug, utility or flexible living area that becomes part of everyday life in your home.
WHAT WE CONVERT
WHAT CAN IT BECOME?
Create a dedicated workspace away from the main living areas.
Add valuable sleeping accommodation where the property and regulations allow.
Give children their own space while freeing up your main living room.
Create a comfortable second living space.
Create practical space for laundry, storage and household equipment.
Build a room capable of adapting as your family's needs change.
WHAT'S INVOLVED?
The finished result might look simple, but creating comfortable living accommodation requires the existing garage to be assessed and upgraded appropriately.
Depending on the property and design, the conversion may involve:
We assess what the individual garage requires rather than applying the same specification blindly to every property.
BUILDING REGULATIONS
Turning a garage into living accommodation isn't simply an interior decorating project.
The conversion needs to deal properly with areas such as thermal performance, ventilation, fire safety, structure and electrical work.
Where approvals and inspections are required, we'll explain what's needed for the particular conversion and guide you through the process.
PROCESS
Tell us what you want from the space and let us assess what you're working with.
Once everything is agreed, we coordinate and complete the work required.
We finish the conversion and hand back a room that's ready to become part of your home.
COST
As a general guide, our complete garage conversion projects typically fall within:
Important factors include garage size and existing construction, structural alterations, windows and doors, heating/electrical requirements, plumbing, room specification and finishing choices.
Rather than guessing from a generic square-metre figure, we prefer to understand the garage and what you're trying to achieve.
TIMESCALE
Many straightforward garage conversions can be completed in approximately 3–4 weeks once work begins.
More involved conversions can take longer, particularly where structural alterations or additional services are required.
Before starting, we'll provide a clear programme based on the particular project.
