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.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Garage door removal and brick infill with window
- Plastering, skirting and decoration-ready finish

| Single attached garage | £12,000 to £24,000 |

Do you need permission for a garage conversion in Chepstow?
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.
How does the project run?
- 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.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
