How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
Converting a garage to a living space can bring huge benefits to a home and can help home owners to make use of space that in most cases is only used as a dumping ground. In this DIY guide you will learn about the most important points to think about for a garage conversion such as insulation, ventilating windows and ensuring fire escape routes, wall thickness and checking for stability, checking that foundations are suitable and also ensuring that the new room will be weather resistant. You will also have to seek approval from your local building control office under building regulations.
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
That would all depend on the above findings but would normally involve 1st fix electrics and plumbing if required. boarded (dot and Dab) skimming, second fix plumbing, painting and electrics finals.
How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
This would involve a site visit and free quotation based on clients requirements. The client may want a straight forward conversation, so a visit would be needed to make sure the floor can take the weight, to be reinforced, insulation requirements, lighting etc or one step further is "raise the roof" which is far more involved.

We have genuine passion for what we do, we love coming to work, designing and creating new things for our clients and that no day is the same.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had been employed for many years till one day I realized that the only thing I was doing was actually building others' dreams. I had a steady fixed income each month, that's great when you start a career, but I'm a dreamer and a visionary and I always knew I was destined to work for myself and work along side my own clients and create beautiful things.
