What’s included

From unused garage to a room you use every day.

A garage often ends up as storage. Converting it gives you a new room without building outwards.

We start with a thorough site survey, listen to your ideas for the space and produce design sketches to match your budget. Then we organise every trade through to the finishing touches, with one point of contact and a project manager keeping you updated.

Many garage conversions fall under permitted development, but it depends on the scale of the work and your council’s rules. We’ll advise on what applies to your home, and handle the paperwork if it’s needed.

If the garage on its own won’t give you the room you need, we also build house extensions, and we can talk through both options at your consultation.

Why convert your garage

A new room inside the walls you already have.

Converting a garage adds living space without the cost and upheaval of moving.

  • An extra bedroom

    Room for a growing family, or for guests.

  • A home office

    A quiet place to work, away from the rest of the house.

  • A home gym

    Space to train without leaving home.

  • A cinema room or playroom

    Somewhere for films, games or the children’s toys.

  • An alternative to moving

    Often a more cost-effective way to get the space you need than selling and buying.
