Garage Conversion Architectural Designers

You park on the drive and the garage is full of clutter. It could be the extra room you need — often without planning permission. We'll tell you straight.

We know what's keeping you up at night

  • “We've outgrown it.” You need one more usable room without building anything new.
  • “It's freezing and damp in there.” You're not sure it can ever be comfortable.
  • “Is it worth it?” You want to know the cost and the value before you start.

Fixed-fee scope

What's included — agreed before we start

No hourly billing creep. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs.

  • A fixed design fee, agreed before we begin.
  • A check on whether your garage can be made warm, dry and comfortable.
  • A live design session to plan the new room, windows and insulation with you.
  • Drawings for planning or permitted development, with the application handled.
  • Building regulations drawings for insulation, damp and ventilation.

How it works

Our simple, honest process

  1. 1

    Honest Conversation

    We check the floor, walls and damp first. If it's not worth converting, we'll tell you.

  2. 2

    Live Design Session

    We plan the room, light and heating with you so it's somewhere you'll actually use.

  3. 3

    Planning Handled

    We prepare the drawings and deal with the council and building control for you.

  4. 4

    You Open the Door

    You let the builder in and come to the meetings. We handle everything else.

Straight talk on cost

Honest cost ranges

Real numbers, not guesswork. Build costs vary by home — our design fee is always fixed and agreed first.

Single garage conversion

£15,000 – £25,000 build cost

One warm, dry room. The fastest and cheapest way to add usable space.

Double garage conversion

£25,000 – £40,000 build cost

Room for an office plus a snug, or a large open space.

Garage conversion with extension

£40,000 – £70,000 build cost

Combine the garage with a small extension for a bigger transformation.

Questions homeowners ask us

Do I need planning permission to convert my garage?

Usually no — most garage conversions are permitted development. We confirm this for you on the first call so you know your route.

Can a cold garage really become a warm room?

Yes, with the right insulation, damp proofing and ventilation. That's exactly what the building regulations drawings cover.

How long does a garage conversion take?

Design is quick — often a few weeks. The build is usually four to six weeks on site, as there's no new structure to build.

Will I lose value by losing the garage?

In most areas a usable room adds more value than a garage you park in front of. We give you the real numbers for your street.

Not sure whether to build, wait or move?

That's exactly what the call is for. We'll be straight with you — no pressure, no jargon, no nasty surprises.
