Homes in Clwyd
Housing in Wales ranges from terraced streets in the valleys and older industrial towns to stone-built homes in rural areas and modern estates around the cities.
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)
- Insulated floor, walls and ceiling
- Heating, electrics and data points
What will a garage conversion cost?
Typical ranges for garage conversions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| 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 Wales?
Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.
In Wales, converting an attached garage usually does not need planning permission unless rights have been removed by condition or the building is listed.
What can affect a garage conversion?
- The garage floor is often lower than the house and needs raising.
- Losing a parking space can matter on streets with permit parking.
What are the steps?
- 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.
- 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.
