Covering Carmarthen
We work in Carmarthen (SA31) and the places around it, including Llanelli, Ammanford and Pontarddulais.
Homes in Dyfed
Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.
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
- Garage door removal and brick infill with window

Do you need permission for a garage conversion in Carmarthen?
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 should I think about before starting?
- A bedroom needs an escape window or a protected route out.
- Losing a parking space can matter on streets with permit parking.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
