Garage Conversions in Edenbridge

What a garage conversion typically involves

• Removing the garage door and building in the opening with matching brick or block
• A new window or door in the infilled opening
• Raising and insulating the floor
• Insulating walls and ceiling
• Internal walls, doorways and plastering
• Electrics and heating by qualified trades
• Flooring and decoration to finish

Building regulations and planning

Converting a garage into a habitable room normally needs building regulations approval, covering things like insulation, ventilation, fire safety and the floor. Many conversions do not need planning permission, but some homes have conditions removing permitted development rights, and listed buildings or conservation areas may differ. It is worth checking with your council early.

Making it feel part of the house

A conversion works best when it looks original from the street and feels connected inside. Matching brickwork, window style and floor levels, and choosing the right position for the internal door, all make a difference.

Finishing the outside

Losing the garage often changes how the driveway is used. Because One Stop Build also lays driveways, paving and front garden landscaping, the outside can be reworked at the same time.

Cost and timing

Price depends on the size and condition of the garage, what the room will be used for, the floor and insulation needed, the finish you want and any work outside. Rob can quote after a site visit.
