Craig got in touch quickly, gave me a rough estimate over the phone and answered all my questions. Surveyor arrived on time, gave instant quote. Price was good. Michael and (another) Craig turned up to do the job on the day, time given. Good, tidy job. Can't fault anything, from start to finish!! Would recommend!

George and his team are experienced builders, replaced my front door with a custom frame/sidelights and raising the floor level in the hallway quite quickly - in fact, they were the only who came next day, gave a quote straightaway and were ready to start in just couple of days. They also had all the necessary tools and materials, were ready to buy something additional quickly on the day - if further adjustments were required to fit everything as I asked. Thanks a lot for your help, guys!
Dmitry
Highly recommend. These guys did a fantastic job of constructing our pergola and decking. Very hardworking and reliable. The job was completed in the time frame agreed and to a very high standard. We would 100% use them again.

On average, you can expect to pay anywhere between £18,000 and £28,300 on a garage conversion. For more details on garage conversion costs, money saving tips and other useful details, read our 2023 garage conversion cost guide.

Benefits of converting your garage
If you barely ever park your car in your garage, or only use it as a storage space for your bikes, then converting it into a living space comes with plenty of benefits:
- A garage conversion can add a lot of value to your property by increasing your home’s liveable space.
- The extra space could giving you the chance to expand your home with a new, bespoke room. You could get an extra bedroom, dining room, home office, cinema room, home gym, utility room, or a playroom.
- A garage conversion is cheaper than other expansion projects like loft conversions and house extensions. It also expands your home without stealing space from your garden.
Make sure you consider how much available parking there is on your street. Removing off-street parking in an area with few parking spaces can make your home less desirable to potential buyers.

Do I need planning permission to convert a garage?
You don’t usually need to apply for permission for a garage conversion, as long as you’re only carrying out internal work that won’t enlarge your house.
If you’re planning on turning a detached garage into a separate house, then you might have to apply for permission. You can discuss your proposal with your Local Planning Authority to make sure you have the right building regulations approval.
If you live in a new housing development, a conservation area, or in a listed building, we recommend you speak to your local planning authority before proceeding, as different rules may apply.
For more details on your permitted development rights for a garage conversion, read our planning permission guide or visit the Planning Portal website.
What tradespeople do I need for a garage conversion?
A successful garage conversion typically involves several skilled tradespeople to ensure the project is completed safely, efficiently, and to a high standard. Here are the key professionals you may need to hire:
- Architect or Designer: To create a detailed design plan that maximises space and functionality while ensuring compliance with building regulations.
- Structural Engineer: If structural changes are required, a structural engineer can provide the necessary calculations and ensure the integrity of the building.
- Builder: A general builder will manage the construction work, including any necessary demolitions, framing, and structural modifications.
- Plumber: To install or relocate plumbing fixtures, such as sinks, toilets, and showers, ensuring proper water flow and drainage.
- Electrician: To handle all electrical work, including wiring, lighting, and the installation of electrical outlets, in compliance with safety standards.
- Insulation Specialist: To ensure the converted space is properly insulated for energy efficiency and comfort.
- Drywaller/Plasterer: To install and finish walls and ceilings, providing a smooth surface for painting or other finishes.
- Tiler/Flooring Specialist: To install flooring materials, such as tiles, hardwood, or carpeting, ensuring a durable and attractive finish.
- Painter & Decorator: To apply paint, wallpaper, or other finishes, giving the converted space its final aesthetic appeal.
If a company specialises in garage conversions, they will have tradespeople that can do most, if not all, of these jobs. That means you won’t have to go searching for each one individually. Just scroll down to the bottom of this page to see just how many skilled garage conversion specialists we have on our platform.

General Building and maintenance New builds Exstensions Restoration Renovation
We had them in to install insulation in our upstairs floor, replace the sub floor, replace some lights, install a loft hatch, and board out our loft. On top of this they discovered a problem in our roof that they fixed. We were incredibly impressed by all of the staff that attended on site. They were friendly, polite at all times, and worked really hard, to a high standard. I couldn't recommend James and his team more, and we've already started talking to them about a further project.

John at Quebuild went above and beyond for us on this job. He completed all the work in a timely manner and for a very reasonable price. He was super knowledgeable and extremely attentive to detail, making sure to leave a high quality finish in terms of decoration - and he came back afterwards to address a few small things that needed doing. He was also a pleasure to have around - and I would highly recommend him for any other work. 10/10.

I did not hire this company. They came to assess the job and promised to send me an estimate by email. However, despite several messages to them from myself, they never had the courtesy to respond or send me a job estimate. I would have zero confidence in this company, and obviously their customer relations needs improvement. Consequently, I am still seeking a tradesman to do the job.

Incredible attention to details from the whole team. Absolutely over the moon, I hope to spread the word for them because they truly deserve it!

John and the team did an outstanding job. It was easy to work with John and he was very knowledgeable, and provided very sensible advice. Other people quoted work which was over-the-top or wouldn't have solved the problem but John got right to the issue in a no-nonsense way. Quality of the work undertaken was very good, considering the age of the building and complexity. Would recommend.
