What Our Customers Say
“I can not recommend B.UK highly enough. From the detailed, incredibly reasonable quote to the high quality of the work done, to the attention to small details and constant communication we had, they provided us with a fantastic double garage conversion. Nothing was too much trouble and they completed the work in less time than first quoted. I would use them again for any work we need. They are outstanding!”
“Lee and his team were really professional and have completed a high quality job on our bathroom renovation and garage conversion. Would certainly recommend and use for any future work.”
“Lee and Marty have helped us with three projects over the last three years: renovate a garden, dilapidated garage/outhouse and a kitchen refit. The quality of work has always been excellent, and the level of communication always top quality, starting with very clearly broken down quotes, through to ongoing consultation through the project…”

Garage Conversion Questions, Answered
Most garage conversions fall under permitted development and do not need full planning permission, provided the work is internal and you are not enlarging the building. If your garage is attached to the house and the footprint or roofline is changing, or your property is listed or in a conservation area, planning permission may be required. We assess this as part of your free, no-obligation quote so you know exactly where you stand before any work begins.
Yes. Even where planning permission is not needed, a garage conversion must meet building regulations covering insulation, damp-proofing, ventilation, electrics, fire safety and, where relevant, structural changes to the opening. We manage this process for you from initial design through to sign-off, so the finished space is fully compliant and mortgage/insurance friendly.
A single garage conversion typically takes a few weeks from start to finish, while larger or double garage conversions with more complex layouts can take longer. Timescales depend on the scope of work, whether plumbing or additional glazing is involved, and any approvals needed. We give you a clear, realistic timeline as part of your quote and keep you updated throughout.
Most brick or block-built garages can be converted, though the right approach depends on the existing structure, damp-proofing, floor level and roof. Timber or system-built garages sometimes need extra structural work first. We inspect your garage and talk through what is realistically achievable before recommending any options.
Cost depends on the size of the garage, the intended use of the new room, and the level of finish you want. We offer a no hassle, no fee quote so you get a clear, itemised price for your specific project with no obligation to proceed.
