What goes into 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 check (some estates remove permitted development rights)
- Insulated floor, walls and ceiling
- Plastering, skirting and decoration-ready finish
What will a garage conversion cost?
Guide prices for garage conversions, including VAT where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after the survey.
| 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. We check the original permission for your house.
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 happens after I enquire?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- 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.
