What is included in a garage conversion in Ballymoney?
Most integral garages already have the walls and roof; what they need is a new insulated floor, an infilled front wall with a window, and heating. We check whether your permitted development rights are intact, handle building control and finish the room ready to use.

Planning and building rules in Ballymoney
In Northern Ireland the council handles both planning and building control. Permitted development rules are set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015, and there is no party wall act, so we agree access and protection with neighbours in writing.
In Northern Ireland, garage conversions often do not need planning permission if the external changes are minor; building control approval is needed.
What can change the price or programme?
- Some new-build estates have a planning condition keeping garages for parking.
- Losing a parking space can matter on streets with permit parking.
From first call to completion
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
What people ask before starting
Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion?
Usually not if the work is internal and your permitted development rights are intact. Some estates remove those rights, so we check.
Does it need building regulations approval?
Yes, because it becomes a habitable room.
Can you visit a house in Ballymoney to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
