Garage Conversions in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and Near Me
Does your home have a garage? If so, have you thought about an alternative use for it?
Here at Peterborough Improvements we can convert your old, draughty garage space into a warm and habitable room and at the same time add value to your home.
Another couple bonuses to a garage conversion is that it doesn't require planning permission and is obviously somewhat cheaper than an extension as it generally requires less work.
Our team will fully design your garage conversion based upon your requirements and with your input achieve your vision of the new ideal living space, whether it be designed as a guest room, another bedroom, a gym or anything else. There are lots of things that will need to be taken into consideration, from the initial design and planning through to the actual construction work. At Peterborough Improvements, we are dedicated to taking the stress and hassle out of your project and making your garage conversion as easy and stress free as possible.
All our work is fully guaranteed and insured and each stage of the project is regularly supervised making sure our team of builders, plasterers, plumbers, carpenters and electricians provide you a professional service and exceptional finished job.
We can advise on everything from windows, doors and electrics through to flooring, heating and decorating. We obviously deal with the disposing of your old garage door and any brickwork too.
How much does a garage conversion cost?
An average garage conversion usually costs anywhere between £6000 - £10,000 depending on the work required. With a conversion adding up to 10% value to your home, they are an excellent investment and with a turn around of around one week its minimum fuss too.

Full conversion of an integral single garage.

Part conversion of an integral single garage.
Conversion of part of the garage to increase the living space of the property whilst keeping the garage door and using front of the garage for storage.

Detached single garage conversions.
A detached single garage conversion is pretty much the same as a single integral garage conversion but will require more work due to the added need of insulation. Planning permission may also be required if connection to the main property is wanted.
Detached double garage conversions.
A detached double garage conversion is pretty much the same as a double integral garage conversion but will require more work due to the added need of insulation. Planning permission may also be required if connection to the main property is wanted.

The Garage Conversion Planning Process
The vast majority of garage conversions in England do not usually require planning permission as they fall within ‘Permitted Development Rights intact’, this means unless the permitted development rights have been removed or the project involves enlarging the building it is very easy to get extra room in your home. Keep in mind however that the conversion of a garage, or part of a garage, into a habitable space will usually require Building Regulations approval.
You can find more information about The Garage Conversion Planning Process by clicking here.
The Garage Conversion Building Process
Most Garage Conversion projects follow the same fundamental install process regardless of what the new space is going to be used for. We usually start by installing stud work and creating any new walls that might be needed, this is followed by insulating the room so it complies with the required building regulations.
Following this we will usually raise the floor, using suitable insulating, install any required electrics and plumbing, plaster the room and finally add any required windows and doors.

Thank you Sean and your men for a painless experience
After an initial visit from Sean who created a superb design mock for us to look at we decided to take the plunge and the most difficult part of everything was deciding on the colours.
The guys were really efficient, friendly, helpful and cleaned up every day.
The end result is a stunning looking driveway that has created a lot of interest from our neighbours and passersby.

Transformed our driveway
Shaun and his team could not have done a better job with our driveway than they have.
The Resin was most certainly tthe best option for us, it looks stunning and took just a few days to install from start to finish even with us deciding to change all the edging blocks.
Top craftsmen, clean, tidy and highly recommended.
