Covering Wellington
Wellington sits 3 miles north-west of Telford, with Telford 3 miles to the south-east and Shrewsbury 10 miles to the west.
Homes in the West Midlands
Across the West Midlands, terraced and semi-detached houses in red brick are typical, along with post-war estates where garage conversions and side extensions are popular.
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.
- Planning check (some estates remove permitted development rights)
- Garage door removal and brick infill with window
- Plastering, skirting and decoration-ready finish

Do you need permission for a garage conversion in Wellington?
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?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- 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.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
