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.

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.

Full conversion of an integral single garage.

Conversion of the whole garage into a new habitable space, replacing the garage door with regular door/windows and/or moving the opening to the rear of the house.

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.

Double integral garage conversions.

Conversion of the whole garage into a new habitable space, replacing the garage door with regular door/windows and/or moving the opening to the rear of the house. There is more opportunity with a double garage conversion to create new rooms with partitions.

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.

There is more opportunity with a double garage conversion to create new rooms with partitions.

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.
