Our team of builders and tradesmen handle all aspects of the garage conversion. We have qualified plumbers, electricians and window installers. We can advise with what materials work best and the best bit is our garage conversions provide real value for money .
Garage conversions are normally deemed permitted developments and so long as they are not within listed buildings or qualify for conservation status, they usually require no planning permission. There are conditions which should be adhered to so as to satisfy permitted development status. The overriding condition is that the conversion does not enlarge the overall size of the house.
It is important however to ensure that your garage conversion satisifies building regulations. Several aspects to watch out for regarding building regulations are foundation proofing, ensuring the infill wall replacing the roller door is built on a suitable foundation rather than the floor slab. Damp proofing, as the previous floor surface may not have been built to habitation standards, Ventilation requirements, the basic minimum requirement for purge ventilation is to have an opening window sized at least 1/20th of the floor space. Alternatively any windows installed should have trickle vents. All our building work satisifies the latest in Building Regulations . Call us on 01344 851634 for a free appointment to discuss
