Garage Conversions in Gloucester

Garage Conversions; What You Need To Know!

When considering your garage conversions in Gloucester and transforming a disused and damp area into a liveable, breathable space, we're all too aware that this can seem like an extremely daunting prospect. However, the end result can add a great amount of space to your property and also add considerable value! Here, Woodcraft Ltd can advise you on the steps to take to achieve your perfect garage conversions in Gloucester, and provide essential tips and tricks for the process.

The Process

As with any building works, it is essential to understand what is initially required and what regulations will govern the experiehnce as you move forward. A key thing to think about, when considering your garage conversions in Gloucester, is if you will need planning permission. In the large majority of cases, converting a garage is classed as a permitted development, which is work that can be carried out without planning permission (as long as it falls within certain restrictions).

However, some new housing estates can restrict the use of your garage to parking only, so a change of use request must be made. We can assist with these requests and advise which would be most suitable for any garage conversions in Gloucester!       

Costs

We understand that facing the spiralling costs associated with any garage conversions in Gloucester can be daunting! However, conversions also offer tremendous value for money when compared to a traditional home extension, with money saved on laying new foundations and building new walls.

With any potential garage conversions in Gloucester, you can rest assured the cost will be less than a house move, and we can guarantee an entirely stress free build; our team of technically qualified experts will minimise any fuss and associated stress and have you utilising your new space in no time at all!

For a definitive cost for any garage conversions in Gloucester, a specific figure will depend on house size and location, as well as the condition of the existing structure. Homes in London will also likely command a steeper conversion price, with more expensive labour and material elements.

We can estimate a price of £5,000 upwards for any basic garage conversions in Gloucester, though this is dependent on the addition of utilities, insulation, and removing any walls or flooring.

It is also useful to note that in some areas the loss of a garage may devalue your home, or the addition of an extra bedroom (if this is how you choose to utilise your space) may increase your rate of council tax. These are all issues that Woodcraft Ltd will be more than happy to talk through with you before your garage conversions in Gloucester are even quoted for!

Benefits

While we've already talked a little of the benefits of garage conversions in Gloucester, it's essential to mention the true flexibility that a 'blank canvass' space can provide. If you are short on storage space, you can also opt to leave a portion of your garage 'unconverted'; this allows a storage element to remain alongside your new living space, meaning any garage conversions in Gloucester will remain multi-use!

Unlike a traditional one or two-storey extensions, your garage conversion won't reduce any natural daylight to your home; it is an existing structure, so no light-blocking features will need to be added!
