Convert a Garage Into a Functional Space

Let’s face it, we store a lot of junk in our garages! Most of us would struggle to home a motorbike let alone a modern-day family car. They’re a convenient place for all bits and pieces for the ‘tomorrow’ that never comes. Over the last few years life has changed for all of us. We’re at home more than ever before, meaning we could all do with a little extra space. However, an extension could be a step too far when you have soaring utility bills to deal with. But hidden within your garage walls lies a huge opportunity to expand your living area. As a result, you could create a transformative improvement to your property. Your solution being, to convert a garage. But of course the first question that springs to mind is ‘how much will a garage conversion cost?’

The cost of a garage conversion in the UK can vary depending on several factors. These include the size of the garage, the complexity of the conversion, the materials used, and the location. On average, a garage conversion is the most economic way to extend your home.

It’s important to note that the actual cost would be dependent on many individual factors. Factors such as structural modifications, plumbing and electrical work, insulation, heating, and the level of finishes and fixtures chosen can significantly impact the overall cost.

Convert a Garage – Consider More Than Just The Cost

It is not just the garage conversion cost you need to consider. In most cases, garages already have the fundamental requirements to extend into, but it’s important to know that there are far more details than you might think when embarking on a conversion. Whilst planning permission isn’t usually required, it’s imperative that building regulation are met with regards to ventilation, fire safety, thermal performance and structural elements.

Most garage conversions are straight forward, but it is not unusual for projects to turn complex when work gets underway and the layers are stripped back to reveal what surprises are lurking to ruin your day. Our advice: get an architect or builder you can trust, such as ourselves here at RMR, were we can assess your garage before starting the project. It may stop that swear jar from overflowing!

Unsurprisingly, demand for conversions is at an all-time high. They’re a brilliant way of transforming your home. They don’t encroach on our valued gardens, they cause minimum disruption as far as building work goes and they boost the value of your home. This is why they’ve become one of the most popular ways to gain space. Speak to one of our experts today and see how you can convert a garage into a functional space.
