Your Guide to Garage Conversions

Why Convert Your Garage?

Did you know that, according to research by the RAC Foundation, less than 10% of UK households with a garage use it for parking a vehicle overnight? This means the vast majority of these spaces simply fill up with an array of household junk and clutter, be it bikes, tools, ladders, decorating supplies or gardening equipment.

While you must not neglect your storage needs, converting your garage into a fully functional new room is a much more effective use of your home’s current structure. The process will also increase your property’s resale value. If you’re a landlord, adding another bedroom will also raise your monthly rental yield.

Much like property extensions, bedrooms are one of the most popular uses for garage conversions. However, they are far from the only option. At JN Builders, we have the experience and expertise to turn any idea or concept into a stunning reality.

Aside from bedrooms, some of the most popular uses include:

  • Children’s Playrooms

  • Home Offices

  • Games Rooms

  • Extra Bathrooms

  • Home Gyms

  • Workshops

  • Home Cinemas

Our company manages your conversion from start to finish. We cover all the required building work and trades needed to create a safe, warm and habitable space. This includes fully compliant heating and plumbing systems, electrical installations as well as first- and second-fix carpentry. Of course, we also arrange for the necessary plastering and decoration for the perfect finish.

Please contact us to discuss your design wants and needs in Farnham, Guildford, Godalming or any other Surrey location.

What Permissions and Regulations Apply?

‍Your local authority will see your conversion as a ‘change of use’. Work that falls under this classification must receive Building Regulations approval before a Building Control Officer signs off the certificate of completion. As an expert in garage conversions, JN Builders ensures everything runs smoothly by liaising with your local authority from the outset. This includes the submission of a building notice or full plans application, as well as the scheduling of building control inspections at the required phases of the conversion.

The building regulations which apply to the typical garage conversion include those relating to electrical work, heating, insulation, plumbing, damp proofing, ventilation, fireproofing and structural integrity.

If your proposed conversion doesn’t exceed set limits and conditions, it can qualify as a permitted development. If this is true for your project in Farnham, Guildford, Godalming or the wider Surrey area, you won’t need to apply for planning permission.

What Happens During the Conversion?

Our builders complete as much as 95% of the physical conversion work inside your garage, keeping disruption to a minimum. We only need to enter your home toward the end of the project to create the opening linking your new room to the original house.

Garage conversions optimise an existing structure, so we can deliver yours with a fast turnaround. As a general guide, the typical conversion takes approximately 2 weeks to complete, excluding the planning and design phase.
