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.

stay well clear of this guy. He is a liar. He left wrong address, has outstanding debt, did pay his workers and would disappear without notice. In the end I had to hire someone else to finish his mess!

Plastering- 19 Dec 2011
Nathan did a fantastic job repairing the render on the front of our house, and then painting it. His price was fair and he did a great job to a high standard, despite the weather being against him. Nathan turned up early every day, communicated with us throughout the job, cleaned up after himself and was very polite and courteous. Our neighbours have comented on what a good job he has done with such little fuss, very impressed! Will be hiring him again in the future and would recommend him to anyone!!

Roofing (Pitched)- 9 Jan 2023
Absolutely avoid that contractor. Hire them for two projects at same time, one to put new pitched roof in place of flat roof including all demolition works etc. They finished half of the job and get paid up front for almost all of it. They ordered materials for roof trusses which can not be used (checked with my building control). They damaged my neighbour shed as well. When I ask them when they gonna finish they ask for some more money because they can't afford to get to Mansfield. During that job I give them another job which was re-roof on terraced house (another of our properties). They left me with unfinished job. They damaged my property during the work (one of the workers put his foot through the ceiling in new decorated bedroom), the roof is badly leaking. Got another company to check what's going on and was told all is done wrong. We need to dismantle half of the roof and put it back again. Lots of damages inside the house because of massive leak. Two bedrooms upstairs, front room and kitchen walls damaged by the water. We need now another renovation which will be cost a lot. All I've heard from them was we will do that tomorrow. Case will end up in the court. We sent a messages, letters but no response. If you want to ruined your property employe them otherwise avoid.

Conversions - General- 17 Mar 2022
Brett and his very experienced father took on an awkward job removing a chimney breast, a wall separating a dining room and kitchen, an ugly pair of French windows, a rear door and a window. This required three steel beams, two of which were bolted together at right angles and three lintels. Due to different ceiling heights, getting the overall height of the beams was demanding but it was done well. They fitted a new replacement window and set of bi fold doors. The job was made more difficult by some poor quality brickwork on the rear wall which slowed progress due to extra work to rectify the problem. The electricians and plasterer they used were very good. They also planned and advised on materials for a patio and garden path. I will use them later on in the year for some more work on repointing and wall ties.

Carpentry- 12 Jun 2017
I needed some custom shelving done to utilize a small corner in the house. Chris offered a competitive quote so after hiring him for the job he came over to take measurements, promised me that he would get them done and then suddenly disappeared. I sent several emails and texts for him to get back to me as I really needed to get the job done but felt bound to stick to our agreement instead of getting the work done by someone else. Luckily I had not paid upfront. It has been a year and half now and all my attempts to contact him have been ignored. It is thoroughly unprofessional to agree to take on a job and then abandon it - I would not recommend him to potential customers.

Hi I’m Lee. I started Morland Property and Construction 4 years ago after 15+ years working in the construction business. Most of my work comes from recommendations and word of mouth although I use mybuilder from time to time to fill in the diary. I take on most construction work including extensions, knock throughs, kitchens, bathrooms, new roofs down to small jobs such as repairing gutters and ridge tiles. At the moment I have a small team around me but we take on any size job, big or small.

Plastering- 14 Mar 2016
Sam priced for plastering and floor screeding work. Sam did the plastering himself but subcontracted the flooring. We are quite happy with the plastering work that Sam did for us. However the floor screeding did not go well at all his builder let him down hence can only score him nuetral. The floor screed was crumbling and cracking. Sam's builders left our back garden in a right mess and we incurred costs to clear up the mess. We hope Sam will learn from this experience for he is a good plasterer. In conclusion we hope Sam is a young man who is only going to get better at providing plastering and screeding services, who is going to learn to ignore pettiness and focus on delivering the client's expectations.
