Outgrowing your home? Cant or Don?t want to move? Or just simply want more habitable living space? The answer is being over looked by thousands of us everyday. We?ve all heard about converting the loft for extra space, converting the basement for extra space? how about going out into the garage for extra space, with a garage conversion.?
?
A garage conversion is the most cost effective way of achieving more living space and gaining that fabulous separate dinning room that you?ve longed for. Considering the vast difference in costs of having an extension or loft conversion, depending on your requirements, a garage conversion could be a fraction of the price.
?
The extensive range of uses for a garage conversion can only be limited by your imagination. A few examples are a kitchen, bedroom with or without ensuit facility?s, gymnasium...
The possibilities are endless!?
For a garage conversion, planning permission would rarely be required to transform a garage into an extra room. Occasionally councils do object to losing garage space, as the street would become more congested. So we suggest contacting your local council to find out if any special planning permission would be required.
?
There are specialist conversion companies with a mass of expertise in transforming garages, they would usually speak to the council and find out if there would be any planning permission issues before any work commences, they would also deal direct with the building control inspector.

It is very important in any conversion to bring up the room to modern building techniques and building regulations, making sure it is well insulated and vented is a priority.
The insulation acts like a duvet helping keep the whole room warm. Insulation conserves energy and there fore assists in reducing demand on fuels for heating or air-conditioning, as a result reduces the emission of the major greenhouse gas co2. So the correct type and thickness is essential. There are many ways of insulating?to achieve the correct u values. You must insulate the ceiling, walls and floor.A raised floor?provides a valuable piece of space for the all-new electrical wiring and plumbing that?s going to be needed. Insulating a floor makes it a lot cozier on the toes then the original bare concrete floor.
Any cavity areas that have been created, for example in the roof or under a suspended floor, also must be vented.
Garages are often on a different level to the rest of the house so you will need to address this if you do want it to flow seamlessly.
?
?A room off a corridor adds more value, then a room off a room, it also makes it a lot less obvious that it?s a conversion. ??
?
The new front infill window should be sourced to match the existing windows of your home, and must incorporate an open available area equal to 1/20th of the floor area of the room, and trickle vents to provide background ventilation of 8000mm2 for a habitable room, 4000mm2 elsewhere. Mechanical Ventilation may also be required if a kitchen, utility, bathroom or WC is being created.
?
Bring your disused garage in from the cold, and make it part of your warm family household.
