How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
If the garage is a good size then this will play a factor as when you board it out with flooring and insulation, you lose space. The condition also plays a factor, if it is dilapidated then it will likely need to be demolished and rebuilt.
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
First you seek the relevant planning permissions, once this is done then a building regulations pack gets drawn up by myself. The building regulations pack allows you to obtain quotes from builders as they have a specification and dimensions to work to.
How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?

Run us through the different stages in the loft conversion process - what’s involved?
The loft conversion process starts with an applicaiton to planning. Depending on the size of the dormer you are looking to add, you can either use permitted development for smaller conversions (terraced houses and small bungalows) or for larger lofts you will need to submit a householder planning application, this also applies if you are in a conservation area. Once this is done then a building regulations pack gets drawn up by myself. The building regulations pack allows you to obtain quotes from builders as they have a specification and dimensions to work to.
What do you love most about your job?
The creativity, I like hearing about current issues people have with their properties and thinking of solutions to get around this. If cost is an issue then I enjoy working with clients to get to an idea that is outside the box but gives them what they need from their project/home.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been working in the industry for some time now and am able to do the job to a high standard and help clients with any questions they have through the process.
Why should our clients choose you?
I give an attentive approach and am able to navigate a sometimes frustrating planning process to get clients what they need in terms of space and value. If the project starts to encounter issues, then I offer a dedicated approach to get a project in place.
