About us
Over 25 years ago Jim founded Convert Your Garage after recognising a simple change in how garages were being used. Many garages were no longer large enough for modern cars and instead had become storage spaces for tools, bikes and household items.
Rather than letting that space go to waste, Jim saw the opportunity to transform garages into comfortable living areas that feel like a natural part of the home.

FAQs
After converting over 4,000 garages, there isn’t much we haven’t seen. A garage conversion can be transformed into almost any type of habitable room depending on what your home needs most.
Many homeowners choose to convert their garage into spaces such as:
Living Room
Home Gym
Bedroom or En Suite
Home Office
Dining Room
Cinema Room
Beauty Room or Salon
Pet Grooming Room
A garage conversion is one of the most versatile ways to add extra living space to your home without the cost and disruption of a full extension.
A standard garage conversion can be completed in as little as 7 days.
However, the exact timeframe will depend on your requirements, the size of the garage and the availability of materials.
If additional work is required, such as installing an en suite, structural alterations or bespoke features, the project may take slightly longer. Our team will always provide a clear timeline before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
In most cases, planning permission is not required to convert your garage into a living space, as long as you are not extending the structure.
However, building regulations approval will still be required, particularly if the space is being converted into a habitable room such as a bedroom, office or living area.
Building regulations ensure the conversion meets standards for insulation, ventilation, fire safety and structural stability.
Here at Convert Your Garage, we manage the entire building regulations process on your behalf to make the project as straightforward as possible.
No, this is not usually a problem.
If your boiler is located in the garage it can normally remain in place during the garage conversion. We simply create a neatly boxed in cupboard around the boiler which keeps it accessible for servicing while blending in with the rest of the room.
This means the space can still be converted into a comfortable living area without affecting the functionality of the boiler.
In most cases, detached garages are heated using modern electric radiators.
These look and function just like traditional radiators but run on electricity rather than being connected to the main central heating system. Many models include built in thermostats, allowing you to control the temperature easily and efficiently.
Electric radiators are a practical solution for detached garage conversions as they provide reliable heating without the need to extend your existing heating system.
