Covering Stockport
We work in Stockport (SK1, SK3) and the places around it, including Cheadle Hulme, Denton and Hyde.
Homes in the North West
Terraced housing is a defining feature of many North West towns, which brings party walls and narrow access into most projects, with more space to extend on suburban semis.
What goes into 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.
- Garage door removal and brick infill with window
- Insulated floor, walls and ceiling
- Plastering, skirting and decoration-ready finish

Planning and building rules in Stockport
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 should Stockport homeowners check first?
- A bedroom needs an escape window or a protected route out.
- Losing a parking space can matter on streets with permit parking.
