The Garage Conversions Process

The garage conversion process can seem like a big project. However, with the right team, it can be straightforward. We guide you through each stage of the garage conversion process. From the initial consultation to the final finishing touches, our team keeps everything organised.

A Simple Garage Conversion Process

Every project starts with an initial consultation. We assess your garage and discuss how you want to use the space. Next, we develop your plans and prepare any architectural drawings needed. We also help with building requirements before work begins.

Once everything is agreed, our team starts the garage conversion. We manage the construction work and keep the project moving through each stage. Throughout the garage conversion process, we focus on quality and clear communication. You will have a dedicated team working towards the finished space.

The final stage of the garage conversion process involves completing the interior and checking the work. We make sure your new room is ready for you to use.

Garage Conversion Step 1

Remove The Garage Door

A garage door is simply made to function as an entrance or exit of a car and is not suitable for the comings and goings of people. The fact that it is not aesthetically pleasing is only part of the problem.

Garage Conversion Step 2

Walls & Insulation

External walls come in two basic types: Solid walls and cavity walls. A solid wall is just that – one layer of bricks forming a wall. A cavity wall is a wall with a hollow centre inside of which thermal insulation is filled. Only a cavity wall will do for a room designed for human dwelling.

Garage Conversion Step 3

The Knock Through

It is popular for many conversions to have a ‘knock through’ or a door fitted between the house and the new conversion. Some prefer an archway rather than a door, either way, a concrete or steel lintel is used to contain the structure of the wall and a door or arch is then fitted.

Garage Conversion Step 4

Flooring

The majority of garages have thin slabs of cement as floors. This floor might be can be removed or replaced. However, we often prefer not to tear up the old floor, but to build on top of it, such as adding what is called a suspended timber floor.

Garage Conversion Step 5

The Garage Roof

The roofs of most garages are already water proof, but the vast majority of them will need to be upgraded to serve as a roof for a comfortable room. The process of upgrading generally involves adding additional insulation to the roof, again to ensure the house doesn’t loose heat and to satisfy building regulations.

Garage Conversion Step 6

Finishing

Most of our customers request at least one radiator and all of the work is performed by a registered plumber. It is advisable that all plumbing work should be carried out by a qualified plumber or when gas is involved, a registered Gas Safe engineer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I totally recommend this Company.  From start to a fabulous finish everything was excellent.  We decided to replace our conservatory glass roof with a more appropriate solid roof.
Meeting the Surveyor and one of the office team was a joy. The team who carried out the work were both very good and also very approachable when I asked questions.
I have give a mention for the lovely Danni and Laura who kept in touch from start to finish.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The installation - plasterer - electrician - painter were all great guys with only a slight tidying up after they’d left … Only criticism I have is that I booked it after being told it would be 10x days maximum but it was over by a week  or more which I hadn’t been prepared for . Good finished article though

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service from the first phone call with Danni to the last. Everything was explained and all the trades arrived when they were supposed to, they were all friendly and helpful and tided up as they went,  the new conservatory roof has made a massive difference to the use of the room. The cost was very reasonable and I am sure the work will add to the value of the property when we sell in the future and we will be able to spend more time in the room.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would give zero if I could. This is a sham of a company. I had a conservatory re-roofed (not cheap). Company promise all types of assistance when selling. Cannot get even the most basic information from them post completion (and money handed over) to allow me to obtain a completion certificate for the work. Just will not respond to emails requesting information. Now having to report them to Trading Standards. I can only think other reviews are made up. Do not go near.
