FAQs
Garage Conversions — frequently asked
Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion?
Usually no — most garage conversions sit within permitted development. Listed buildings and Article 4 streets are the exceptions and need full applications.
How long does a garage conversion take?
Standard single-garage conversion is 4–6 weeks on site: 1 week strip-out and insulate, 2 weeks first-fix and plastering, 1 week fit-out, 1 week finish and handover.
Will the converted garage need a new roof?
Often yes — original garage roofs were rarely built to habitable insulation standards. We assess at survey; about half of single garages need a roof rebuild as well.
Can I keep my garage door as a feature?
Yes — common approach is to retain the door and infill behind with insulated stud and weatherproof external glazing or panel cladding.
What's a realistic garage conversion cost?
£25,000–£45,000 for a single garage to habitable room with insulation, plastering, flooring, joinery, electrics and basic plumbing.
Do I need building regulations approval?
Yes always, even if planning permission is not required. Building regs cover insulation, fire safety, ventilation and structural changes.
