GCS Garage Conversions

We at Garage Conversion Specialists offer the complete garage conversion service, from contacting the local authority for building regulations - to the last decorating finishes.

Through our own experiences, we know that many families need more space but cannot afford to move to a bigger house.

About GCS Garage Conversation Specialists

A standard garage is 5m x 2.4m, which means you will have extra living space of 12 square metres. That's a lot of living space, which, at the moment, is currently redundant and simply waiting to be put to good use for you and your family.

About GCS Garage Conversation Specialists
We can convert your garage into
  • Playroom
  • Study
  • Dining room
  • Extra bedroom
  • Bathroom
  • Mini gym
  • Home entertainments room
  • Family room
  • Sauna...

It's up to you. The list is endless!

Even if you do not want to convert your whole garage and you want to leave the door on, we can do a part conversion. This means you can keep the front part for storage, like bikes, etc., whilst the remainder is converted into a room of your choice. This does not change the look of the front of your house but gives you extra living space.

From your first contact with The Garage Conversion Specialists to the completion of your garage conversion, we will always be on hand to advise you and answer any questions you may have.

About GCS Garage Conversation Specialists

After your initial call, we will arrange a time to come and see you at your convenience to provide you with a free, no-obligation quotation.

Rather than pushy ‘’salesmen’’ or ‘’ representatives’’ to carry out our quotations, we prefer to visit each potential client ourselves. We always pay the utmost attention to the finest details; this ensures we get it right the first time thus avoiding problems and extra costs later in your project.

You can rest assured that from start to finish when dealing with our The Garage Conversion Specialists, you will be dealing with time-served tradespeople who advise you every step of the way.

On the first visit, we will take down all the details of the proposed conversion. We take digital pictures of your windows and bricks to match them.

We will then provide you with a comprehensive quote, a copy of our Guild of Master Craftsmen certificate and pictures of previous work. At this time, we also offer the opportunity for you to go and look at some of our previous work or speak to some of our previous customers because we know from experience the only way to judge a builder is to look at previous work and speak to previous customers.

If you accept our quote we will then agree on a convenient start date with you.

Once we start the work, we will not leave the job until it is completed.

On a single garage conversion, we do not ask for a deposit before starting your conversion and invoice you when the conversion is completed.

BUILDING REGULATIONS

When getting your garage converted, you must ensure that it is carried out to building regulations, or you may have problems if you ever want to sell your house. All of our conversions are built to current regulations, which the final certificate will show.

Building regulations for garage conversions are a legal requirement even where formal planning is not required.

If you do not obtain this approval, it could lead to difficulties when you sell your property; the local council may even ask you to convert it back to a garage!

Whoever you get to carry out your conversion, you MUST make sure that they deal with all of this on your behalf to ensure your conversion is safe and to current building regulations.

We at Garage Conversion Specialists always deal with these matters on your behalf. Upon your acceptance of our quotation, we will pay and submit the building notice to your local authority. Then, throughout the conversion we will liaise with the local authorities and get inspections at various stages. Then, on completion, you will be issued with your completion certificate.

Garage Conversation Planning

PLANNING

When converting your garage, planning permission is rarely needed. But we always advise our customers to phone their local authority before work commences to check that there are no covenants on your property or in the area where planning permission may be required to convert your garage.

If you need planning permission don’t worry we can take care of everything on your behalf!

    We have just had a garage Conversion done by GCS home improvements. We now have 2 lovely rooms instead of a garage that was not used for the car, but as a dumping ground for things which really needed throwing out.

    We were pleased with all who were involved in our conversion, the brick layer, plasterers, plumbers, electricians and special thanks to Tom and Stuart from GCS. Everyone was polite and professional and a have done a fantastic job. We would be happy to recommend GCS to all
