Will my garage conversion meet building regulations?

Yes, a professional should ensure that your garage conversion meets all local building regulations. They will manage the approval process for you, and arrange inspections by building control officers at key stages to guarantee compliance.

How and when is payment typically handled for a garage conversion?

Most specialists request a deposit of around 10% to 20% of the total cost before work begins, with additional payments due at agreed-upon milestones. You should always confirm your payment schedules in writing and avoid large upfront payments without a contract in place.

Should a garage conversion specialist provide a written quote?

Absolutely. Garage conversion specialists should offer a detailed, written estimate outlining all costs, the project timeline, and the scope of work. This helps avoid misunderstandings and provides clarity throughout the project.

How can I check the quality of a specialist’s previous work?

View their portfolio of completed garage conversions, and read verified reviews from previous clients. Many specialists showcase photos and feedback on platforms like MyBuilder, so you can assess their experience and customer satisfaction.

Will my garage conversion increase my home’s value?

A well-executed garage conversion can add significant living space and boost your property’s value. A local garage conversion builder can often advise on designs that maximize both practicality and resale potential.

How long will my garage conversion take?

A typical garage conversion in the UK generally takes between 3 to 6 weeks, provided the existing structure is in good condition. More complex or larger projects can extend this timeframe to around 8 weeks or more, especially if extensive structural work or additional services are involved.

Mr Timmins worked on transforming a dilapidated garage into a Grandad Annex for my father and his partner . The work was of an incredibly high standard in my opinion. Mr Timmins arrived early and left late. I wish I could send photos of the before and after it was amazing to see. I am in the process of contacting Mr Timmins again as I have some more building work for him and I do recommend him on a regular basis .

Andy arrived on time and was thoroughly professional - he did the work exactly as per my instructions (including some changes along the way) and to a high standard. The work was carried out with a minimum of noise and all debris was cleared . All in all, I couldn't fault the quality of work and professionalism.

The job completed was a garage conversion into another bedroom. They bricked up the garage door to create a large window. Then knocking out the opposite wall to create another large window. They made a good door way into the room at the same time increasing the size of our hallway. The room was fully insulated, with plenty of electrical features before a very good plastering job was completed. During the job, I asked for additional work and they were happy to do this and quote me at the end. Both Robert and Stuart are friendly and approachable, and were happy to work round our family during the work. Having a family of 3 kids is demanding when there are building projects on the go in your home but they made the project be carried out without any stress on the family. Fully recommend them and will use them again in the future.

Joinery & Cabinet Making- 21 Jun 2015
William did an excellent job It was quite a challenging task and several other joiners said it was too difficult to undertake. It is a 20 year old, bespoke two storey hardwood bay with laminated glass. The main vertical columns and the cills had rotted so the task was to replace the rotten sections with new. If this wasn't challenging enough, there was the matter of the glazing which I was expecting would blow. William and his colleague Chris turned up on a day when the rain didn't stop so it was far from ideal working environment. They very carefully removed the glass, replaced the sections and the glass and stained it to match existing. I think this needed both skill and care and am delighted with the result. I would highly recommend them both.

I was doing a full house renovation and started off with a cowboy builder. He bodged the majority of the jobs leaving the renovation a mess with many problems and unfinished work... I hired Jeff and Daz to take over, fix the problems left behind and finish the job. Given that Jeff and Daz were taking on work left by a cowboy builder, they cracked on regardless and fixed all the problems that he left behind and then carried on to finish the renovation as planned. They are brilliant builders who provide a professional service. They were always on time and well prepared. Both Jeff and Daz were very polite and informative. They are very knowledgeable in the trade of building and I was given sound, practical advice. Jeff was extremely fair when quoting for the job. I never felt ripped off or mislead on pricing as all receipts were kept and shown to me. You get an A* service for the price. I felt very comfortable in leaving them both to crack on and finish any job that was thrown at them. This was my first house renovation and I felt a bit lost without advice from a builder. Upon request, Jeff managed to quickly assess the house, assign a plan, explain his plans with me and take control of the situation. With that in hand, the build was up and running again and we powered on to the finish in good time. I will certainly be hiring them again. First class builders. Thanks guys.

Steve did a great job converting a bedroom into a kitchen, including all plumbing, electrical works, ceiling & floor insulation, underfloor heating... Steve brought in other tradesmen for more specialist jobs, who did a good job too. Steve was dedicated to the project and even turned up on weekends to make progress with the conversion. The place was always left clean and tidy at the end of the day. Not knowing much about building works, I felt totally comfortable with the job being in Steve's hands, and I already talked to Steve about another job I'd like to have done soon!

Conversions - General- 13 Nov 2024
August 2024: Jeremy Mills took £3,200, made our home unsafe by removing a load bearing wall and disappeared without a trace. DO NOT HIRE! He was hired for a bathroom extension. We are expecting our second child in January 2025 we needed the bathroom. Jerry has extorted us for money, whilst working a day a week and not doing the work we asked him too. Instead he removed a wall that was structurally needed. He is incompetent, over promise and not deliver. He says he had a team of experts but it is just him. He is a brick layer yet he promises plumbing and electrical work. He falsely advertising 30 years experience but he has none. The "contract " he gives is worthless. He does not give an invoice. He disappeared with our money, blocked our numbers. We are left in an unsafe house with no bathroom, no bedroom and no money

Excellent service all round, my first experience of using a professional painter and decorator and I couldn't be happier with the results. Nick was professional, always on time (despite needing to arrive at 07.45am) and worked to schedule, doing a great job and keeping the house clean and tidy despite the amount of filling and sanding required. Nick was also very helpful as we were under pressure to choose our colour and did all he could to get us the right one, despite only having 24 hours to sort it out. All done for a reasonable price. Would highly recommend and would use Nick again in the future.

Extensions- 23 Jul 2013
I hired SBS to build my utility room extension and new rear patio as they were local builders and their estimate was by far the most detailed that I received and very competitive. Before work began, construction and payment schedules were agreed with Lee and my designer so that the whole process began on time and was largely completed on time (8 weeks) and to estimate (other than extras I requested during construction). The finish is excellent, not surprising as all the subcontractors were established local tradesman. Lee and Aaron were great to work with, kept me informed on progress and importantly, I was able to leave them in charge when away. Can fully recommend SBS for other jobs.

The work I employed Steve to do was to remove a crumbling rendered front garden wall and replace it with a red and grey brick wall with matching pillars on either end. Steve was a friendly, reliable, honest and hardworking tradesman. I have been so impressed with his quality and high standard of work I have employed him again in the fitting of a couple of double glazed windows and to fit a French patio door in the house. I would recommend Steve to anyone who wants a good quality, clean and tidy tradesman.
