Image via Pinterest<\/a>[\/caption]\r\nWhy convert your garage into a playroom?<\/h3>\r\nConverting your garage into a playroom can significantly improve your family home. A playroom can double up as play and toy storage space. This will help to prevent bedrooms and other rooms in your home getting cluttered up with toys and play apparatus. Plus, if your kids get noisy when they\u2019re having fun they\u2019re less likely to disrupt the whole house!\r\n\r\nAttached or integrated garages are best for playroom conversions. When designing your playroom, try to ensure that the access borders your kitchen or another commonly-used living space. This will make it easier for you to keep an eye on it if you have younger children while still giving them their own space. You can turn a detached garage into a playroom if you wish, but they\u2019re harder to supervise unless you\u2019re outside.\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re ready to get started with your garage conversion, click \u2018Start my project\u2019<\/a> and fill in our online form.

And if your garage is attached to your kitchen, what better use for it than a dining room?\r\n\r\nRead on to find out the advantages of converting your garage and why a dining room could be the best option.\r\n
Increase your home's value<\/h2>\r\nThese days, new builds are getting smaller and space is a sought-after feature. Converting your garage may seem counter-intuitive, but garages are becoming less and less of a must-have for buyers. You could increase the value of your home by more than you spend on the work.\r\n
You might not need planning permission<\/h2>\r\nIf you have an attached garage then you might not need planning permission to convert it into a dining room. However, if you were to build an extension to create a dining room, that's another story. It could save you money on fees. Check our guide on planning permission for garage conversions and also with your local authority<\/a> to see the rules and regulations.\r\n
It's much cheaper than an extension<\/h2>\r\nAn extension<\/a>, depending on the size and work involved, could set you back \u00a330,000<\/strong>. But convert your garage and you're looking at somewhere between \u00a39-11,000<\/strong>. That means that you'll have much more money to spend on the interior - after all, that's the part you and your family will enjoy the most.\r\n\r\nSo have you decided whether the best use for your garage conversion is a dining room? If you're still not sure, take a look at our guides on the other uses for your garage conversion. Whatever your decision, you could end up with a fantastic space for all the family to enjoy.","post_title":"Turn your Garage into a Luxurious Dining Room","post_excerpt":"Turning your garage into a dining room is a great idea, especially if your garage is attached to your kitchen.

If you have, it might be time to invest in a home gym.\r\n\r\nThe perfect place for a home gym is your old garage. These days, most people use their garages for junk that they've not got round to throwing away. It's rare that anyone uses their garage for their car.\r\n\r\nHaving your own personal gym will stop you from spending money on classes you don't go to and equipment you don't use. You can tailor the space to exactly what you need to get the most out of sessions.\r\n\r\nBut before you get carried away with the idea of a home gym, there are a few things to consider. Take a look at our points to see whether you're ready for this type of investment.\r\n\r\n
Do you have enough money?<\/h3>\r\n

A garage conversion can cost between \u00a3850-\u00a31150 per square metre<\/a>, and then you need to bear in mind the cost of equipment. Generally, you'll need a mixture of equipment:\r\n- \r\n\t
- Cardiovascular<\/li>\r\n\t
- Strength<\/li>\r\n\t
- Functional<\/li>\r\n\t
- Conditioning<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\nOnly buy the pieces you know you'll use. Expect to pay up to \u00a32,000. \r\n\r\nTop tip: <\/strong>Look on websites like Facebook selling groups, eBay and Gumtree where people that were overenthusiastic will list equipment they no longer use. You could pay half the cost for a nearly-new machine.\r\n\r\n
Will a home gym work for you?<\/h3>\r\nTry not to get drawn in by the glamorous idea of having your own gym. Have a serious think about whether it will work for you. Ask yourself these simple questions:\r\n
- \r\n\t
- Am I motivated enough to train on my own?<\/li>\r\n\t
- Do I meet friends at the gym to socialise?<\/li>\r\n\t
- Will I miss going to classes?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\nIf you don't think you're motivated enough to train by yourself, it might be better to turn your garage into something else. A 'granny annexe'<\/a> is a popular idea in the age where older children are staying at home for longer and where people care for their older relatives at home.\r\n\r\n
Do you have a creative eye for design?<\/h3>\r\nIf you're not clued up on interior design, it might be worth looking to the help of someone who is. You need to create a home gym that you're happy to work out in and that has an atmosphere conducive to training.\r\n\r\nWhat motivates you when you go to the gym? Is it music? Good lighting? Artwork? Think about all of these things and design a gym that is going to make you work to your maximum effort.\r\n\r\nHave a think about whether a home gym is for you. If you've got the motivation and the budget to convert your garage into one, go for it. It could be the best decision you make for years!","post_title":"Top Tips for Converting your Garage into a Home Gym","post_excerpt":"A home gym is a fantastic use for a garage, especially if it's unattached.

Suitability of your garage<\/h3>\r\nHow far away from the house is your garage? Will your relative need to move to and from areas? How mobile is your relative? These are some of the things you should consider. \r\n[caption id=\"attachment_249\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]

If they are often found wandering, it might be useful to see what measures you can take to stop this from happening near busy roads.\r\n\r\nIndependent living technologies are also important features to consider. These include grab rails and step-free showers.\r\n\r\n

You could even ask an estate agent to come round and give you a rough estimate. \r\n\r\nWhatever your reasons for converting your garage into a granny annexe, make sure it's fit for purpose.

But if you work or study from home, having a designated work space can really help to improve your productivity.\r\n\r\nBecause a home office isn\u2019t often a priority, lots of homeowners find that they need to be creative to find room for one. And this is where your garage comes in. For many people, a garage conversion is the perfect place to have a home office.\r\n\r\nIf you want to learn more, read on to find out 3 reasons why your garage would make a great home office.\r\n\r\n
1. It\u2019s a blank canvas<\/h3>\r\nA big bonus to converting your garage into a home office is that you\u2019re essentially starting from scratch. You haven\u2019t created a new structure but the chances are that your garage has very limited fittings and furnishings. This gives you a great opportunity to customise the room to suit your needs. This could include making sure that there are power sockets and internet points in convenient places. It could also involve installing practical and attractive lighting.\r\n\r\n
2. You can make it as part of your home as you like<\/h3>\r\nA great thing about converting your garage into a home office is that you can make it as part of or as separate from your home as you like. If it\u2019s attached or integrated, you can design its access based on how easy you want it to be to get from the main part of your home to your office.\r\n\r\nIf you want to be free to come and go between your living space and office as you please, you can fit an easy-access internal door. You could even try to make your access more open plan if regulations allow. For many people being able to enjoy their home is a big perk of remote working. Or if it\u2019s important to you to have an office that\u2019s separate to your home, you can soundproof it and create a separate heating system. You could even bypass having an internal door completely.\r\n\r\n
3. It\u2019s ideal for visitors<\/h3>\r\nAnother perk to using your old garage as an office is that it can be ideal if you have regular work-related visitors. It can be hard to maintain a professional fa\u00e7ade if you have to lead your clients past your washing up or through a sea of children\u2019s toys to get to your office. With a garage, however, you have the opportunity to create external access. This means that your visitors can bypass the rest of your home and come straight into your office.\r\n\r\nSo if you want a home office, your garage could be the perfect place to create one.

On top of this, the costs and fees associated with moving can also be expensive. This has led to more homeowners looking to stay put and convert their homes for more space.\n\nLike the loft, the garage is redundant. As a result, garage conversions have grown in popularity as a way to create more living space. No longer is a garage for storing cars and instead they seem to be full of tools and old furniture.\n\nThere are plenty of benefits to a garage conversion, including the possibility to add substantial value to your home \u2013 perfect for the tough housing market. Depending on your garage and what you want to do with the conversion, the work you need to do will vary and cost will be affected by the windows, roof, walls and floor.\n
Don't be put off by planning permission rules<\/h2>\nThere are a number of uses for a garage conversion and some of the more popular include:
![\"Garage](\"http:\/\/garageconversion.quotatis.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2013\/04\/Garage-conversion-1-300x236.jpg\")
<\/a>\n- \n \t
- A lounge or dining room<\/a><\/li>\n \t
- An extra bedroom<\/li>\n \t
- An extra bathroom<\/li>\n \t
- An extension to your kitchen<\/li>\n \t
- A home gym<\/a><\/li>\n \t
- A home office<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDespite all the excellent advantages of converting your garage, many don\u2019t move on from the initial thought because of the fear of planning permission fees.\n\nBut in actual fact, in many cases planning permission simply isn\u2019t an issue. Before discussing the technical details further it\u2019s important to know that if you live in a listed building or Conservation Area it\u2019s best to gain approval from your local council to avoid unwanted complications later down the line.\n\nHowever, for the rest of the UK, needing planning permission isn\u2019t necessary. So long as work carried out is internal without changing the look of the exterior, you won\u2019t fall into the bracket of needing planning permission approval.\n
![\"Garage](\"http:\/\/garageconversion.quotatis.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2013\/04\/Garage-conversion-2-300x200.jpg\")
<\/a>\nIf you\u2019re ever in doubt surrounding permitted development rules, make sure to speak to your local planning authority.\n\nAt the end of the day, converting your garage is one of the best ways to gain extra space around the home without having to eat into your garden with an extension. With relaxed planning permission and the opportunity to create anything that appeals to you, consider converting your garage today.","post_title":"Will I need Planning Permission for a Garage Conversion?","post_excerpt":"Most of the time, you won't need planning permission for a garage conversion.

In fact, garage conversions have become extremely popular as an alternative to moving home and ensure an extra part of your property is utilised that was before wasted.\n\nThese days the garage isn\u2019t used for the purpose it was originally created. How many cars do you see parked on the drive or on the roadside, instead of locked away in the garage? More commonly, the garage is used as a place to store tools, old toys and pieces of furniture.\n![\"Garage](\"http:\/\/garageconversion.quotatis.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2013\/04\/Garage-conversion-4-204x300.jpg\")
<\/a>\nSo with the housing market struggling and the thousands of pounds in fees associated with the big move, why not consider staying put and converting your garage?\n\nThere are many rooms to convert the garage into and popularly you\u2019ll see:\n- \n \t
- An extra or extended living room or dining room<\/li>\n \t
- An added bedroom or bathroom<\/li>\n \t
- A home office or gym<\/li>\n \t
- An extension to the kitchen\/diner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOne of the major benefits is that if you don't alter the external look, you won\u2019t need to worry about planning permission<\/a>. This means that the only legalities you\u2019ll need to address are Building Regulations. So how easy is this to navigate?\n\nThere are four main areas affected by Building Regulations:\n
- \n \t
- In-fill garage door<\/li>\n \t
- Any walls below ground level<\/li>\n \t
- The ventilation<\/li>\n \t
- The flooring<\/li>\n \t
- In-fill garage door<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhen you choose to convert your garage, one of the aspects that will principally change is the removal of the old garage door. You'll need to replace it with a solid wall it will require foundations for sound support. These features need to meet Building Regulations. A structural engineer or building control officer will be able to provide you with more advice on this alteration.\n
Walls below ground level<\/h3>\nWhen it comes to a garage conversion you may need to improve the foundations of the walls to give extra support. The walls will also need to be frost and sulphate resistant to deal with natural elements and ensure of a long lasting effect.\n
Ventilation<\/h3>\nVentilation is needed through the home to meet health and safety regulations. How much ventilation you need will depend on what you want to use the room for. When you install a new wall it\u2019s vital that you don't inhibit ventilation. One of the best ways to improve airflow is with a purge in the window, acting as trickle ventilation.\n\nIf you want the garage conversion to become a kitchen or bathroom, you could install an extractor fan. This will help deal with condensation and odours too.\n
The flooring<\/h3>\nThe existing garage floor is probably strong enough for domestic uses. However, you'll probably need to upgrade it to meet damp proofing and thermal insulation regulations. The level of the floor could even need raising to meet the rest of the property. One of the best ways to counter this problem is laying a timber floor on top of the existing concrete.\n
Why you should choose a reputable company<\/h3>\n
![\"Garage](\"http:\/\/garageconversion.quotatis.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2013\/04\/Garage-conversion-3-288x300.jpg\")
<\/a>\nSo with a garage conversion, there are two options to consider; completing the work yourself or hiring a professional to take care of the job for you. If you ask a company to do the work for you, you'll put the hassle of Building Regulations into their hands.\n\nOf course, with DIY there\u2019s always the chance of getting something wrong and you\u2019d probably have to bring in experts for electrical wiring, construction and insulation. Get all of this with one go by comparing up to four free quotes from professionals near you.","post_title":"Building Regulations for Garage Conversions","post_excerpt":"There are a few things that will need Building Regulations approval for a garage conversion, such as ventilation and flooring.
