Garage conversions in Stourbridge

If you live in Stourbridge and want garage conversions, we can take the whole job off your hands, from measuring the house to handing over a finished room.

Covering Stourbridge

We work in Stourbridge (DY8) and the places around it, including Brierley Hill, Dudley and Halesowen.

Homes in the West Midlands

The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s semis and Victorian terraces in red brick, so matching brick and roof tiles is often the key to an extension that looks original.

What do you get with 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.

  • Planning check (some estates remove permitted development rights)
  • Heating, electrics and data points
  • Plastering, skirting and decoration-ready finish

Do you need permission for a garage conversion in Stourbridge?

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 Stourbridge homeowners check first?

  • Some new-build estates have a planning condition keeping garages for parking.
  • The garage floor is often lower than the house and needs raising.

How does the project run?

  1. Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
  2. Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
  3. Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
  4. Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
