Why Consider Converting a Garage?
Unused or underused garages are among the most cost-effective spaces to transform. By converting a garage, you expand your liveable area without altering your home’s footprint or requiring major structural changes. In many cases, permitted development rights apply—streamlining the process further.
Garage conversions are ideal for Brighton and Hove homeowners looking to establish:
- Dedicated home offices or studios
- Self-contained guest rooms or annexes
- Utility rooms or downstairs bathrooms
- Playrooms or teenage dens
- Accessible ground-floor bedrooms

The Technical Side of Garage Conversions
A successful garage conversion requires more than simply laying a floor and painting walls. Our team takes a systematic, technically detailed approach to ensure quality and performance.
Key considerations include:
- Foundations & Floor Levelling: Garages often require additional foundations or insulation layers to meet habitable space standards.
- Thermal Performance: We upgrade walls, ceilings, and floors to comply with Part L of the Building Regulations.
- Waterproofing: Proper damp proofing is essential during any garage renovation.
- Structural Openings: Where access to the main house is created, we assess load-bearing walls and install RSJs as needed.
- Electrical & Plumbing: Fully certified services to accommodate lighting, heating, bathrooms, or kitchenettes.
Our Brighton and Hove garage conversions are designed not just to look good, but to function safely and comfortably long term.
