Done Right
A garage conversion is the most affordable way to add a habitable room to your home. Unlike an extension, there's no new foundation to dig — we work with the existing structure, making it faster, cleaner, and significantly cheaper.
Starting from just £10,000, a garage conversion delivers outstanding value — adding usable space and increasing your property's value at the same time.

FAQs
Q.Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion?
Most garage conversions fall under Permitted Development rights and do not require planning permission. However, this depends on your property type and location. We assess this during your free consultation and handle any applications needed.
Q.How long does a garage conversion take?
A standard single garage conversion typically takes 2–4 weeks from start to finish. More complex projects or those requiring planning permission may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your quote.
Q.Will a garage conversion add value to my home?
Yes — a well-executed garage conversion can add 10–15% to your property's value, often significantly more than the cost of the conversion itself. It's one of the best returns on investment in home improvement.
Q.Do you handle the building regulations certificate?
Absolutely. All our conversions are carried out to meet UK Building Regulations, and we obtain the completion certificate on your behalf. This is essential for when you come to sell your home.
Q.Can you convert a detached garage?
Yes. We convert both integral (attached) and detached garages. Detached conversions may have slightly different planning considerations, which we'll cover in your free consultation.
