Making a garage into a liveable space isn't just a case of moving your furniture into it. Here's the basic process you can expect of jobs required during a garage conversion. 

Level, insulate and damp-proof the floor. 

Infill the garage door to create a solid wall if required

Insulate the walls and the roof 

Plasterboard and plaster 

Decorate

To be suitable for conversion to living accommodation, it helps if you’ve got a sizeable roof space to start with.  

A simple way to calculate this is by measuring the gross internal floor area of all the existing top floor rooms under the loft you want to convert. 

Most lofts can provide at least 20m2 of gross floor area which, on paper, should be more than enough for a double bedroom. However, not all of this space will be useable.  A lot depends on the roof pitch – as a rule, the steeper the better.

The roof space is inspected to see if its suitable for conversion.
Plans drawn up and structure checked.

Wiring and plumbing check and installed as required.
