Convert Garage into a Utility Room
(Updated on 24 May 2021)We hired Mike and Lee to do our garage conversion and install a downstairs toilet.
We are so pleased with the completed conversion in fact it was better than we could have ever imagined.
Prior to the build we kept on changing our mind so both Mike and Tracey in the office had to be patient with us.
Mike project managed the whole conversion and has a good working relationship with building control, we didn’t even have to see or chat with building control. Just got the email completion certificate through.
Mike showed his knowledge as originally the structure engineer had said that we need steels as we were removing a load bearing wall but after Mike investigated the wall further it ended up it wasn’t a load bearing wall and we agreed to keep the price the same but he replaced a ceiling and installed spotlights instead for the ceiling in between the converted garage and kitchen that gave us a better end product than we would have had.
Mike and Lee are able to do all the work themselves apart from the electrics, a lot of builders have to sub-contract a lot of the work out.
The biggest worry I had was the raising of the roof due to the neighbours roof overhanging onto our side. This wasn’t a problem it was quoted 3 courses of bricks, I thought we would only get 2 courses but he managed to get 4.
Finish looks quality only problem know is we will have to redo the kitchen to match the garage conversion now lol!!
Would I hire Mike again..... Absolutely!!
