Garage conversions
Converting a garage is one of the most cost-effective ways to add a room, because the structure is already there. We’ve converted garages into living rooms, offices and even a complete self-contained annex with its own kitchen and bathroom.

FAQs
Garage conversions: your questions
Can’t see your question? Call us on 01480 272 600 or send us a message.
Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion?
Often not, if the work is internal and doesn’t enlarge the building. Some newer homes have planning conditions that require permission, so we check this first. Building regulations approval is always needed.
Can a garage be turned into an annex?
Yes. Our Great Paxton project converted a double garage into a self-contained annex with a kitchen, bathroom and living space.
