Covering Chichester
We work in Chichester (PO19) and the places around it, including Bognor Regis, Havant and Littlehampton.
Homes in the South East
Many South East homes are inter-war or post-war semis and detached houses with room for rear and side extensions, while historic town centres and villages bring conservation area and listed building controls.
What is included in a garage conversion in Chichester?
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.
- Garage door removal and brick infill with window
- Insulated floor, walls and ceiling
- Plastering, skirting and decoration-ready finish
What will a garage conversion cost?
Typical ranges for garage conversions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| 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 |
What approvals does a garage conversion need in England?
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 should I think about before starting?
- 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 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.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
