For those who have a unused garage, why not think about a conversion in Barking to make the most from your home. Do a comparison of as many as 4 totally free quotes with this service and find the very best price for a conversion.
One of the major advantages with a garage conversion is the space can be converted quickly for the extra room you'll need, regardless of whether it's for a growing family or simply just to add to the price of your home.
A garage conversion suggests you won't have to relocate for extra space, which could help you save a lot of money on solicitor costs, estate agent payments and stamp duty. And the extra room can be converted into what you need, whether it's an expansion to the living area or kitchen, or a separate room entirely.
With the structure already in position it's evident that a garage conversion will be less costly than creating an extension as well, and won't eat important space in your garden. With the exterior not likely to change too, it's an alternative way to bypass rules for conservation areas and also listed buildings.
If you're serious about transforming your garage, do a comparison of prices from companies within Barking working with our fast and simple service to obtain the best offer available.

It shouldn’t do. Most companies will do all the interior work first, and the last job to do will be creating the opening from the house to the conversion. A reputable company will make sure they cause as little disruption as possible during this time.
Garage conversion is a great way to add extra usable space to your home without having to extend your property. A fun fact is that, in the UK if you have your car parked in the garage, you’re in the minority. According to a research carried out by Admiral Loans, just about 33 percent of home owners in the UK store their cars in the garage. For most people the garage is literally a dumping ground that’s never fully utilized as such. In recent times, the garage is now being used to store a variety of other stuffs asides a car which includes garden furniture, tools and appliances, utilities such as washing machine, fridge and freezer as well as food and groceries. These facts show that more and more people are underutilizing their garage when they may actually be in need of more usable space in their property. So why not put into consideration converting the garage into a new space that would be able to serve more purpose?
If you’ve decided to convert your garage, you’d probably want to know the how long the project will take. There are a wide range of factors that can determine the duration of a garage conversion project. These factors include:
• If the foundation needs reinforcing
• If the floors, walls, or roofs are in a bad condition.
• If the ceiling height needs some raising
• If the insulation required in newer builds.
All aforementioned factors will make the garage conversion project take longer than expected. However, in normal situations garage conversions are relatively quick to complete once you start the building works. A single-car conversion will usually take about 3 to 4 weeks to complete depending on the existing garage’s structure.
You may need planning permission if you are planning a larger extension. All extensions will need building regulations approval. An architect can assist with this and if planning permission is required. A reputable contractor will also be able to advise you if this is needed as well.
Most companies will make the building control application on your behalf and ensure that all the work is completed to the right standards. When a building inspector has inspected it, you’ll get a certificate. It usually takes around 6-8 weeks after completion to come.
