Homes in the West Midlands
Across the West Midlands, terraced and semi-detached houses in red brick are typical, along with post-war estates where garage conversions and side extensions are popular.
What do you get with a garage conversion?
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.
- Building control application
- Garage door removal and brick infill with window
- Plastering, skirting and decoration-ready finish
How much does a garage conversion cost in Birmingham?
Indicative costs for garage conversions. London and the South East usually sit towards the top of each range.
| Garage conversions | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Single integral garage | £12,000 to £17,000 |
| Single attached garage | £12,000 to £24,000 |
| Single detached garage | £18,000 to £30,000 |
| Double garage | £25,000 to £54,000 |
Do you need permission for a garage conversion in Birmingham?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
An internal garage conversion is usually permitted development in England unless the house is listed, an Article 4 direction applies, or it is on an estate where the planning permission removed permitted development rights.
What can change the price or programme?
- Some new-build estates have a planning condition keeping garages for parking.
- The garage floor is often lower than the house and needs raising.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
