3 FAQs about Garage Conversions
Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion?
Typically, no, planning permission isn’t required for garage conversions. Converting an integral or attached garage space will usually fall under Permitted Development rights.
However, this will not apply if you live in a listed building, if you want to extend the footprint of the garage or if you’re in a designated conservation area.
How long does a garage conversion typically take?
It can take between four and six weeks to complete a garage conversion project. However, we typically complete such projects in just three weeks!
What Building Regulations apply for garage conversions?
Building Control approval will be required for these construction projects, as your conversion will have to comply with standards for energy-efficient insulation, ventilation, electrical safety and fire separation.
