What goes into 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.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Insulated floor, walls and ceiling
- Plastering, skirting and decoration-ready finish

What approvals does a garage conversion need in Wales?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
In Wales, converting an attached garage usually does not need planning permission unless rights have been removed by condition or the building is listed.
What can affect a garage conversion?
- Some new-build estates have a planning condition keeping garages for parking.
- A bedroom needs an escape window or a protected route out.
What are the steps?
- 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.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
