Garage Conversions
We find today that many families are in need of more internal room. This can be for a variety of reasons, a new baby, teenage children requiring more space, older parents needing a little more care but maintaining their independence and dignity, maybe a career change has meant you now need a home office or garden room to work from. These and many more reasons often lead to families feeling they have to move home, however this isn’t necessarily true, and a garage conversion could be the answer!
Many family homes are built with either an integral or detached garage and in most cases, these are very simple to convert into habitable rooms. The potential use of these conversions is huge and include, office, study, playroom, dining room, utility room, additional dens, tv and cinema rooms, larger kitchen diner, extra bedroom with en suite facilities, in fact the options are vast.
So how do we convert a garage into a usable habitable space? Unless you are changing the height of the roof, or altering the look considerably, there is generally no need to for planning permission. We do however apply to carry out all works under a building notice with your local authority, and all work is checked at specific stages during the project. This means you are provided with a completion certificate once they are satisfied and then you have peace of mind all work complies with the current government guidelines.
We help you from our initial site visit to carefully lay out the room to make the best use of space, and make suggestions and recommendations based on our experience in this field.
All permits, agreements and building control applications are taken care of so there’s no need to worry about any paperwork.
Underfloor heating is often the best option for these areas as it allows all walls to be used for storage and floor layout. Some customers prefer us to carry out a complete project with a total finish, while others prefer to carry out their own decorating and floor covering to keep their costs low. Either way the end result is always a happy customer.
