Turn an unused garage into a home office, playroom, bedroom with en-suite or annexe. We handle the structure, insulation, window, electrics, plastering and finishes, and deal with Building Control, so you only ever speak to one person.
A garage is built as cold storage. Making it a room you’ll use every day means dealing with the floor, walls, ceiling, light and warmth properly, not just boarding over the door.
Garage conversions are priced on the garage’s size, condition and what you want the room to do. All prices exclude VAT. Your exact price follows a free site visit and a written, itemised quote.
| Project | From | What changes the price |
|---|---|---|
| Single garage to a dry, insulated room (office, playroom, snug) | £15,000 + VAT | Floor levels, state of the roof and walls, how much electrical work, heating type |
| Single garage with an en-suite or shower room | £21,000 + VAT | Drainage runs, moving soil pipes, tiling and sanitaryware spec |
| Double garage conversion | £26,000 + VAT | Size, whether it becomes one room or two, kitchenette or annexe fit-out |

Every trade on these jobs was ours, so the client dealt with one team from the first visit to Building Control sign-off.
Same order on every garage, so you always know what’s next.
We check the structure, floor levels, damp, drainage and where services run, and talk through what you want the room for.
A written quote, line by line, with any provisional sums clearly marked.
We submit the Building Regulations application and confirm whether planning is needed.
Structure first, then insulation, services, plastering and finishes. Usually 3 to 5 weeks.
Building Control completion certificate, snagging and a final clean.
Usually not. Most integral and attached garage conversions fall under permitted development. You do need Building Regulations approval. Houses in a conservation area, listed buildings and some newer estates with planning conditions are the exceptions. We check this with Swale Borough Council or Canterbury City Council before any work starts.
A typical single garage takes 3 to 5 weeks on site once approvals are in place. Adding an en-suite or converting a double garage takes longer.
Single garage conversions start from £15,000 + VAT, including insulation, a window in place of the garage door, electrics, plastering and flooring. With an en-suite from about £21,000 + VAT, and double garages from £26,000 + VAT. We confirm the exact figure in a free, itemised quote after a site visit.
Converted garages generally add usable floor area, and estate agents in Kent will tell you that a well-finished extra room helps a sale. We can’t promise a specific figure, and if parking is tight on your road it’s worth weighing the loss of the garage. Most of our clients convert for the space first and the value second.
Yes. A partial conversion keeps the front section with a smaller up-and-over door and converts the back. It needs a dividing insulated wall and the room still has to meet Building Regulations.
We do. We submit the application, book the inspections at each stage and hand you the completion certificate at the end. You’ll want that certificate when you sell.
No. Builders, electricians, plumbers, plasterers and decorators are all on our books, and we schedule them. One quote, one project lead.
A photo of the garage from the drive and one from inside is all we need to start. We’ll call you back to arrange a site visit, usually within two working days.
