Whether you’re looking to add a new bedroom, office, living room or storage space to your Henleaze or Bristol-based property, a converted garage is a great way of achieving this. Garage conversions help you improve your interior space by repurposing an underutilised area of your house or commercial property so you don’t have to build onto your garden or outdoor areas.
When you hire us to remodel your garage, we will first assess it to understand the work involved. Based on this initial assessment, we will then provide you with a bespoke quote. Once agreed upon, we will start working on bringing your converted garage to life.
To start, we clear out the space, hacking off any damp plaster from the walls before putting in a damp proof course (DPC) for insulation. If your garage conversion is to be two-storey or already has a room above it, you likely won’t need to think about roof insulation. However, with single-storey garages, this is something for us to consider.
Next, our builders fix all electrics and plumbing, plaster the interior, and fix any carpentry elements. This may include the following:
After laying the flooring, we add the finishing touches to your new garage room, such as fitting lights, radiators, heating and completing any decorating.
As professional builders in Henleaze and around Bristol, we always ensure clients have the information they need about our services. In regards to garage conversions, these projects are subject to the following building regulations:
Escape routes and fireproofing must be implemented for your safety.
Moisture proofing and good ventilation are essential for maintaining the converted garage room in the best condition
Floor, wall and loft insulation is required to keep the space warm and to avoid wasting energy from heat loss.
Soundproofing is needed to prevent noise pollution, especially if the room is located near neighbours or members of the public
Some electric works must be completed by an appropriately qualified electrician to protect against the risks of electrical shocks and fires.
At various stages of the construction process, a building control officer will need to assess the foundations of your converted garage. They will check to see if the work complies with the necessary regulations and then issue you with a final certificate upon completion.
