Initial Consultation

Garage Conversion, Fareham, Portchester, Loft Conversion, Southampton, Portsmouth


​The first step is a FREE no-obligation consultation where we assess your garage and understand your goals for the space. We’ll listen to your ideas, inspect the existing structure, and discuss the best conversion options based on your budget, needs, and style preferences.

Design & Planning

Approval & Building Regulations

Next, our team of designers and architects will draw up plans that bring your vision to life. This includes layout planning, interior design concepts, and structural assessments. If required, we’ll help you obtain planning permission or ensure that the project complies with local building regulations.
​
​Before work begins, we submit your design to the local building control authority to ensure it complies with safety and structural standards. You’ll receive a certificate of compliance upon completion, which is vital if you ever sell your home.
Note: In many cases, garage conversions fall under "permitted development" and do not require full planning permission, but it’s always best to check local rules.

Preparation & Structural Work

Windows, Doors & Insulation

We begin by clearing the space and assessing the condition of the existing structure. This includes checking foundations, walls, and roofing. If necessary, we will upgrade the foundation, improve insulation, and reinforce structural integrity to make the space habitable and energy efficient.
To transform a garage into a livable room, ​natural light and ventilation are key. We install new windows and doors where needed, often replacing the garage door with a stylish window or entranceway. The space is then insulated thoroughly, walls, floors, and ceilings, to meet energy standards and ensure year-round comfort.

Plumbing, Electrics & Heating​

Plastering, Flooring & Finishing Touches

Whether you need new electrical sockets, lighting, radiators, or even plumbing for a bathroom or kitchenette, this is where your garage starts to become a true extension of your home. All systems are installed to meet modern safety regulations and are tested by certified professionals.
Once the core infrastructure is in place, the interior takes shape. We handle everything from plastering  flooring, skirting, leaving your space ready to decorate. This is where you’ll really see the transformation unfold, your garage begins to feel like a cohesive, beautiful part of your home.

Final Inspection & Handover

After a final quality inspection, we walk you through the finished space to ensure you're 100% satisfied. You’ll also receive all relevant documentation, including your building regulations certificate, warranties, and maintenance information.

Ready To Transform Your Garage?

Whether you’re dreaming of a serene home office, an extra bedroom for guests, or a multifunctional family space, a garage conversion can be a life-changing improvement to your home. It adds space, comfort, and value all without the hassle of moving house.

Customer Reviews 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Michael and the team recently completed a garage- to-home-office conversion for us. Having found them on 'check a trade' I was initially slightly nervous as they didn't have a lot of other examples of garage conversions on their website, but they were competitive on price (being equal cheapest out of all the quotes we got), had good reviews and were local so we decided to give them a try. The team took care of everything except for painting, including brickwork, window installation, plastering, electrical work and plumbing and it was all done to a high standard with a real attention to detail and completed on schedule. Michael also arranged for disposal of all rubbish and the obtaining of electrical safety and building control certificates at the end. Very happy to say the team have done a great job, were very polite and friendly to have around and worked extremely hard with real attention to detail. Would happily recommend them or use them again."
