Covering Market Drayton
Market Drayton is about 16 miles north of Telford. We also cover Whitchurch (9 miles to the north-west), Newcastle-under-Lyme and Crewe.
Homes in the West Midlands
Red-brick terraces and inter-war semis make up much of the housing in the West Midlands, which suits rear extensions, dormer lofts and hip-to-gable conversions, with more modern estates on the edges of the towns.
What is included in a garage conversion in Market Drayton?
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 check (some estates remove permitted development rights)
- Insulated floor, walls and ceiling
- Plastering, skirting and decoration-ready finish

Do you need permission for a garage conversion in Market Drayton?
Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.
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. We check the original permission for your house.
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.
From first call to completion
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- 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.
