Our Garage Conversion Projects
A great way to get some much needed extra space for your home. We were able to remove the existing roller doors and fit a new two-panel aluminium sliding door. This is a fast, relatively straightforward way to gain some extra space in your home. We do not need to alter the slab and can fix it into the existing timber or directly into the brickwork on the sides. We also dispose of the old door, so you have nothing to worry about.
Additionally, a neglected garage can be transformed from a cluttered dumping ground into a practical space like a store room, enhancing the home’s overall utility and appeal.

Planning and Preparation
Before embarking on a garage conversion project, careful planning and preparation is essential. The first step is to assess the existing structure of the garage to determine what changes are necessary to create a comfortable space.
This may involve hiring a professional to inspect the garage and provide recommendations for any required repairs or modifications.
It’s also crucial to consider the intended purpose of the converted space, as this will influence the design and layout, as well as the materials and features needed.
Additionally, obtaining any necessary permits and approvals before starting the project is vital to ensure compliance with local building codes and regulations.
Garage conversions are a cost effective way to increase your available home space, and they don’t require a builder. We will talk you through the various options to determine what will suit you best – it may be the installation of a sliding door, or window units (windows above fixed glass panels), or a combination of windows and doors.
The options are endless, and the end result is more space for your family achieved in a cost-effective, non-intrusive one-day project
