Jacob contacted me through Bark and was courteous and professional. The quote was very competitive and the work was carried out by a friendly painter who went above and beyond. Jacob inspected the work during the process and again, to sign off the work. More...

Painting & Decoration - Interior
Working with Property Fixers was seamless, quick and professional. I hired PF to paint the entire interior of my new home, which was completed within 10 days of first making contact. Once we agreed on the quote, materials and dates, a tradesman arrived on time each each day to complete the work. The work was carried our diligently and to a high standard. He was very helpful, also helping out by taking in deliveries which were arriving during the day. Jacob from the office was helpful, attentive and communicative which was a welcome change to the usual responses when asking companies to quote for the job. I'd recommend using Property Fixers.

How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
Building regulations for garage conversions
A garage conversion classes as a ‘change of use’ so it will require building regulations approval.
To comply with building regs your garage conversion must:
- Be structurally sound
- Have a damp-proof course
- Have wall, floor and loft insulation so it is energy efficient
- Have had all electrics safety tested
- Be moisture proofed, with good ventilation
-Have been fire-proofed and have escape routes
Because your project will need building regulations approval, you need to notify your local council before you begin by submitting a building notice or full plans application – depending on whether you need planning permission or not.
Once the garage conversion is finished a building inspector will come to check windows, doors, fireproofing measures and foundations before issuing a certificate of completion.

Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
Key works when converting a garage:
1. Make sure the walls and roof are sound
2. Floor slab – the existing floor may need to be levelled, damp-proofed and insulated
3. Infilling the door – Most garage conversions simply brick up the garage door
4. Wall insulation
5. Roof insulation
6. Windows & doors
7. Heating and electrics

How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
You’ll want to start by assessing whether your roof space is suitable for conversion. Most are, but there are three main things to check:
- Internal height. Measure from the top of the ceiling joist to underneath the ridgeboard in the apex. It needs to measure 2,500mm to suitably convert.
- Roof pitch. Measure the angle of the roof. The higher the pitch angle, the higher the central head height is likely to be.
- Footprint. As a minimum rule of thumb, internal rules should measure 5,500mm side to side, inclusive of chimney, and 7,500mm front to back.

Run us through the different stages in the loft conversion process - what’s involved?
- Do an initial assessment of your existing loft space
- Think about how you want to use the space
- Consider who you would like to do the work and get at least three quotes based on measurements
- Consider the planning, party wall and building regulation requirements of your conversion
- Pre-empt the pitfalls with your chosen contractor
- Get a contract in place for the works with your contractor/builder/loft conversion company and architect so you know who is responsible for what
- Once you are ready to commence works, be sure to inform your insurer that you are undertaking building works to ensure your cover is not affected
