FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you convert my garage into a proper room?
Yes. Garage conversions turn an unused garage into a genuinely usable room, a bedroom, home office, dining room, or playroom, fully damp-proofed, insulated and finished. Pricing starts from £14,997, quoted individually since every garage is a different size and starting condition.
Will converting my garage affect my home insurance or mortgage?
It's worth telling your insurer about any significant conversion work, and if you have a mortgage, some lenders like to be informed of major changes to the property too. It's a good idea to check both before starting, we're happy to talk through what's involved during your survey.
What's included in a garage conversion?
Full damp-proofing and insulation, solid flooring and finished walls, certified electrics fitted by a qualified electrician, architectural plans and building regulations sign-off, and all waste removed and recycled. Exact spec and finish level depend on what you're converting the space into.
Can a garage conversion add value to my house?
Often yes, a well-finished extra room, particularly a bedroom, office or living space, is the kind of practical addition buyers notice. As with any home improvement, the actual uplift depends on your property and local market, so it's worth treating as a genuine bonus rather than the main reason to convert.
Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion?
Often not, many garage conversions fall under permitted development, particularly if you're not changing the external appearance of the building. Every property and every local authority can differ though, so this is confirmed properly as part of your survey rather than assumed either way.
Do garage conversions need building regulations sign-off?
Yes, unlike loft storage boarding, a garage conversion is generally treated as a change of use and will usually need building regulations approval, covering things like insulation, damp-proofing, fire safety and ventilation. This is handled as part of the project rather than left for you to sort out separately.
How long does a garage conversion take?
Longer than loft work, since it involves damp-proofing, insulation, first and second fix electrics, and finishing walls and floors properly. Timelines vary by scope, your free survey will give you a realistic schedule for your specific garage.
Is a garage conversion covered by a warranty?
Yes, garage conversions are backed by the same lifetime guarantee Lofty Solution applies to all its work.
