Covering Norwich
We work in Norwich (NR2, NR3, NR99) and the places around it, including Aylsham, North Walsham and Great Yarmouth.
Homes in the East of England
Housing in the East of England ranges from post-war estates and modern developments to timber-framed and period homes in historic towns, so permitted development checks and conservation controls both feature regularly.
What do you get with 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.
- Garage door removal and brick infill with window
- Insulated floor, walls and ceiling
- Heating, electrics and data points

How is a garage conversion approved in Norwich?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it 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.
What can affect a garage conversion?
- Some new-build estates have a planning condition keeping garages for parking.
- A bedroom needs an escape window or a protected route out.
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.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
