Service overview
What it is
A full conversion of an integral or attached garage into habitable interior space: infill of the garage door, insulated floor, walls and ceiling, plaster, electrics, heating, flooring, decoration and (where relevant) fitted joinery such as a home office or utility.
Who it's for
Homeowners across Newcastle, the North East, Surrey and Brighton whose garage stores bikes and a broken freezer, and who need an extra room without the cost, disruption or planning risk of a full extension.
When you need it
When the household has outgrown its bedrooms or living space, when hybrid working needs a dedicated office, or when the garage is genuinely surplus to how the property is now used.
Why use a specialist
A garage conversion is typically 3–5x cheaper per square metre than a rear extension, requires no foundations, and, in most cases, needs no planning permission (only building regulations approval). It is the highest-return floor space you can add to most UK homes.
The cost of getting it wrong
Most UK garages store possessions that would fit in a shed and a car that lives on the drive. Meanwhile the household is short of a bedroom, an office, or a proper utility, and the answer is sitting behind the roll-up door, uninsulated, unused, and quietly costing council tax and mortgage.
Our process
We assess the garage, floor level, wall build-up, drainage, existing services, and confirm feasibility, building-regs route and realistic finished floor area.
Full visual of the finished room including layout, joinery, lighting, sockets and heating. Any fitted furniture (home office, utility) is designed alongside.
One quote covering structural infill, insulation, plaster, electrics, heating, flooring, decoration and joinery, plus building-regs fees and drawings.
Full works: infill, floor build-up, insulation, first-fix, plaster, second-fix, flooring and decoration. Typical duration 3–6 weeks on site.
Final building control inspection and completion certificate issued. One-year workmanship guarantee on installation.
Why it's worth doing properly
Per square metre, converting an existing garage is dramatically cheaper than building new, no foundations, no roof, existing walls and roof already in place.
A garage conversion is a fit-out, not a build. Most conversions are finished in 3–6 weeks on site, with no impact on the rest of the house.
Structural, thermal, ventilation and electrical requirements all met and certified, protects your insurance and your resale value.
Structural, insulation, plaster, electrics, joinery and decoration all coordinated by one project manager. One number to call if anything needs revisiting.
Wall, floor and ceiling insulation specified and installed to current regulations, with vapour barriers correctly positioned, no future condensation or mould issues.
A properly converted, certified garage is added floor area on the EPC and on the estate agent's plan, and it consistently returns more than it costs at sale.
The detail
We convert integral, attached and detached garages into full habitable rooms, home offices, snugs, gyms, playrooms and utilities. Below is what we walk you through at design and quote stage.
A garage conversion is a change of use and triggers full building regulations approval (structural, thermal, ventilation, fire, electrical). Planning permission is not usually required unless the property is listed, in a conservation area, or has permitted-development rights removed. We handle both routes on your behalf.
The garage door is removed and infilled with an insulated stud or masonry wall, typically with a new window matched to the rest of the elevation. A structural engineer signs off on the infill and any changes to the load path.
Garage slabs are typically lower than the rest of the house. We build up the floor with insulation, a moisture barrier and a screed or floating floor, usually 100–150mm of build-up in total. This affects door heights and step transitions.
Walls, floor and ceiling insulated to current U-value requirements; vapour barriers correctly positioned on the warm side of insulation. This is the single most important detail for a converted room that stays comfortable year-round.
Extension of the existing central heating (radiator or underfloor), or dedicated electric heating for detached garages. Sized to the room, not guessed. Our Gas Safe engineers handle any gas boiler extension.
Home office, snug, playroom, gym, utility room, guest bedroom (with restrictions), music room, dedicated cinema room. Where the room use suits fitted joinery, we design and install this as part of the conversion.
