A garage conversion typically follows these main stages:
Initial survey & design – We inspect the garage, confirm structural suitability, and work with you to plan the layout and finishes.
Permissions & building regs – We advise if planning permission is needed and ensure all work complies with building regulations.
Structural preparation – This may include reinforcing floors, insulating walls, improving ventilation, and replacing the garage door with a wall/window.
First fix – Installing electrics, plumbing, and any heating systems.
Insulation & boarding – Making the space warm, dry, and energy efficient.
Plastering & finishes – Smooth walls, ceilings, and floors ready for decoration.
Final fix – Fitting fixtures, sockets, lighting, and completing decorative finishes.
Handover & guarantee – A final walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets our high standards, backed by our full guarantee.
At Oakfield Developments, we manage the entire process from start to finish, ensuring a smooth, stress-free conversion that adds value and space to your home.

The main things to check are head height, roof structure, and access. Generally, you’ll need at least 2.2 metres of clear headroom in the highest part of the loft for a comfortable conversion. The roof’s pitch, type of joists, and overall condition also play a big role. We’ll inspect for any structural issues, check if the floor can take extra weight, and look for signs of damp or poor ventilation.
Even if your loft doesn’t meet all the requirements right now, solutions like dormer extensions, strengthening joists, or altering the roof structure can make a conversion possible. At Oakfield Developments, we offer a free, no-obligation survey to assess your loft and recommend the best options for your home.

A loft conversion is typically completed in the following stages:
Initial survey & design – We measure your loft, check structural suitability, and work with you to create a layout that maximises space and light.
Permissions & building regs – We confirm whether planning permission is required and ensure all work complies with building regulations.
Structural preparation – Strengthening floor joists, adding supports, and preparing access.
Roof alterations – Adding dormer windows, Velux windows, or changing the roof structure to increase usable space and natural light.
First fix – Installing electrics, plumbing (if needed), and heating.
Insulation & boarding – Ensuring the space is warm, dry, and energy efficient.
Plastering & finishes – Creating smooth walls, ceilings, and floors ready for decorating.
Final fix – Installing sockets, lighting, fittings, and completing decoration.
Handover & guarantee – Final inspection with you, ensuring everything meets our high standards, backed by our full guarantee.

I wanted to create a company that customers could truly rely on — one that delivers high-quality work, turns up when promised, and treats every home with the same care and attention as if it were our own.
