What do you get with a garage conversion?
A garage conversion turns an attached, integral or detached garage into a habitable room by infilling the door opening, insulating the floor, walls and roof, and adding windows, heating and power. It is one of the quickest and cheapest ways to add a room.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Garage door removal and brick infill with window
- Heating, electrics and data points

Do you need permission for a garage conversion in Cardigan?
Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.
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?
- A bedroom needs an escape window or a protected route out.
- Losing a parking space can matter on streets with permit parking.
