DIY Garage Conversion & some questions answered

We realise that you will have questions about your garage conversion and may even be considering doing the work yourself. Whilst we would not recommend the job to a DIY novice we understand that some people may want to give it a go. The following questions are some which have been asked by people who were considering doing the work themselves and our honest answers very often made them think again.

Q. Are there a lot of planning regulations regarding garage conversions?
The Garage Conversion Company take care of this from start to finish and will liaise directly with your local planner to ensure that your building warrants are given out

Q. Will I increase the value of my house if I convert my garage?
A poor conversion carried out by an inexperienced builder or DIY enthusiast can actually lose you money. With a poor finish or shoddy workmanship people will question the integrity of the conversion and you may even struggle to get the building warrant.

There are some instances when the value of your home will not be increased by a garage conversion even if you get the experts to do the work and you need to be aware of when this is likely to be the case. For example in London the cost of parking is so high that a converted garage may even reduce the value of your home.

Q. Are there specific building regulations regarding insulation?
These vary depending on the local area and the conversion itself. A specialist garage conversion company will be able to tell you immediately what is required but if you are doing it yourself then you may want to ask a professional for their advice before starting work.

Q. Are there any restrictions on what I can convert my garage into?
We have seen garages converted into home cinemas, a games room, an en-suite bedroom and even an extended kitchen plus utility room. The options are endless but as long as teh use remains domestic then you should have no problems with the local authority.

It is worth deciding on the likely use before you start work as making changes later such as moving the location of power sockets or aerial outlets may be an additional cost that you could have saved.

Q. Is a builder okay to convert my garage or should it be done by a specialist garage conversion company?
A builder with the relevant experience could indeed convert your garage but most builders are not garage conversion experts and there is no other company in the UK that has converted more garages than Garage Conversion Company so why take the risk. See more information on avoiding the cowboys
