Create Valuable Space with a Garage Conversion

Everyone could use a little more space, and Norfolk properties are no exception. A garage conversion provides a simple, fast, and cost-effective way to create an extra room.

Simple, Cost-Effective Garage Conversions in Norwich, Norfolk

A garage conversion is one of the simplest ways to add both space and value to your home. If your garage has become a dumping ground for clutter, this is the perfect opportunity to transform it into a much-needed living space. With cars getting bigger, most people rarely use their garages for parking, making a conversion one of the most cost-effective and practical ways to extend your home—without losing any garden space.

A garage conversion offers significant advantages: it’s much more affordable than building an extension, yet can increase your home’s value by up to 10%. It typically requires no planning permission and can be completed in just a few weeks, making it a fast and cost-effective way to enhance your home.

FAQs About Garage Conversions

  • Does converting a garage add value to your house?

    Yes, undergoing a garage conversion will add value to your property. Essentially by converting this space into a usable room, you are adding another bedroom, bathroom or living space to your home, which will be a great selling point when you do come to sell in the future.

  • What can a garage conversion be used for?

    Garage conversions have a multitude of uses including an additional bedroom, increased living space, an annexe, a yoga studio or home gym or even your home office, making them the ideal home upgrade.

  • How important is insulation in a garage conversion?

    It's extremely important to insulate your garage when converting into an additional space. By ensuring you're having your garage converted by a professional team, such as ourselves, you can rest assured your new space is sufficiently insulated and usable all year round.

  • Can I convert my garage into an annexe?

    Yes, getting your garage converted into an annexe space is becoming an increasingly popular conversion choice as the costs of living increase and families wish to look after elderly or younger members of the family who cannot afford to live alone but wish for their own space.

  • Is it a good idea to convert a garage into a usable room?

    Yes, converting your garage into a usable space is a great idea as not only does it give you and your family more space, saving the costs of moving, but also gives you the opportunity to use this once 'wasted space' for whatever you wish.

  • Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion?

    Planning permission is usually not needed for most garage conversions, as long as the work is internal and doesn’t change the building’s structure. Changes like modifying a garage door typically don’t require permission. However, if you’re altering the shape or structure, such as extending into the garden, planning permission may be required. Most garage conversions fall under permitted development, allowing internal or non-intrusive changes without approval.If necessary, we’ll work to ensure you get the correct permissions and make sure everything is compliant.

  • How long does a garage conversion take?

    A typical garage conversion can be completed in as little as 3-5 weeks, depending on the size of the project and the level of work required. More complex conversions may take a little longer, but we’ll provide a timeline and keep you updated throughout the process.

  • Will a garage conversion require structural work?

    It depends on the current state of your garage and the type of conversion you want to create. Some garage conversions may require structural work, such as reinforcing the walls, floor, or roof, especially if you plan to turn it into a living space. However, our expert team will assess the property and advise you on the necessary structural work to ensure the space is safe, comfortable, and up to standard.

  • Can I convert my garage into a bedroom?

    Yes, garages can easily be converted into a bedroom, and this is a popular choice for families in need of extra living space. With proper insulation, flooring, and decoration, your new bedroom will be comfortable and functional.

We are so chuffed, we love our new garden room, it looks amazing and the temperature fluctuations have vastly improved. We are very happy customers and we will highly recommend you to others.

From looking at your stand at the Royal Norfolk Show to completion this has been the most trouble-free installation we have ever experienced. Thank you for all your calm efficiency. We are really enjoying using the conservatory to sit in.

We are very pleased with the finished garden room and high standard of work, and look forward to being able to use the room all year round.

They have done a brilliant job, and would recommend you to anyone. I can’t believe we now have a room that can be used all year round, won’t get unbearably hot in the summer or freezing cold in the winter, and won’t need buckets to catch the leaks!

Your three workmen all carried out the job with extreme efficiency. They were very clean and tidy and made the process go well. Many thanks, will be spreading the word among our friends.

I am so pleased with the work done. It’s amazing how much warmer it feels, don’t think I believed those promises but have been really nicely surprised.

We now have a conservatory that we can use throughout the winter, also I don’t have all that mildew to clean off the ceilings and walls in the spring that I've had in the past. What a difference!

Thank you so much for all your hard work on our extension. You have been so easy to have around and dispelled many of the stereotypical worries we had about builders!

We are really delighted with the room, it is exactly what we had hoped for.

Thank you so much for all your hard work on our extension. We really appreciate your patience with our questions, lists and hand holding that we have needed at certain points.

We are delighted with the transformation of our conservatory which now allows us to use it more extensively, being warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
