5 creative ideas guaranteed to help you make the most out of your new garage
At Potters we are a small independent Specialist Kitchen, Bedroom, Bathroom & Kitchen retailer based in Gravesend with a Showroom. We offer a very comprehensive design & installation service too. We can either supply & install or just supply only. We can Project manage all works required from the most basic up to the most Luxurious & detailed job. We also carry out full property interior refurbishment works & conversions including garage conversions. Melvyn the Project Director has over 30 years experience in the Construction field having initially trained as a Carpenter & Joiner. Please take a look at our website www.pottersinteriors.co.uk
Turning an idea or a dream into Reality! We love to take the clients initial idea or dream then come up with drawings/plans then follow it through to completion and see their happy faces.
Both my late Father & my older Brothers were Carpenters & Joiners that went out to start their own business so I was brought up working with them at weekends when I was young and was brought up with the attitude if you want something you need to work for it! Hence why after finishing my full apprenticeship I felt being held back & wanted to go out & achieve more in life.
At Potters we have a real passion of creating an end product that our clients Dreamed for or is above their expectations. 2nd best is not good enough for us so attention to detail is all our teams priority as well as being polite to our clients & keeping the site tidy & safe as much as possible at all times!
Generally Most brick Built garages are suitable for conversion particularly if attached to the main house as easier for supplies etc to be run in. Some very old pre-fabricated garages are generally not worth spending the money on as most have Asbestos roofs and roof height is low so can cause problems when insulating the floor. In some cases we have recommended to knock it down & build a New timber structure as more cost effective but once we look at each job we will give our Honest opinion what we think is viable and cost effective.
Once we take a look for you and understand what your looking to convert the Garage into we can advise.
Most garage conversions will not need planning permission just Building regulations but this depends on many things. If you have a New build property quite often there is a covenant on the Deeds stating you are not allowed to convert the garage or change the appearance of the house for 10 years! always check this first on your Deeds & with the developer. Sometimes they will allow it as long as you keep the main garage door in place & block up from behind. If Planning is required it can take upto 2 months. If you wish to convert it to a bedroom with a bathroom then you may need planning and also if in a conservation area by changing the look of the front of house. If no planning is required then Only Building regulations we deal with the complete process in-house as we have an independent accredited Building Inspector we use on a regular basis and we have set construction procedures and details pre-agreed with how we carry out all types of garage conversions to it will comply to the latest regulations. We arrange this with them on your behalf and they will visit in the early days of commencement and then on final completion, we will also take photographic evidence of the the construction methods used to send to them & keep on file. All the electrical works will be certified by our highly experienced contractor and a copy of the certificate will be sent to the building inspector before they will release a completion certificate.
If full planning is required then we can arrange that for you too.
We have a great Team of different trades working for us and they all work to the highest standards, I myself project manage all jobs daily. We use the best quality products on the market to achieve in particular the best insulation values especially where garages are concerned, Unfortunately some companies use cheaper methods to just achieve the minimum standard but we are always above minimum requirements.
We can discuss projects over the phone or online & sometimes estimate costs but obliviously cannot carry out the work.
We are extra careful now on projects, All our trades have face masks to wear if they may be in close contacts with others on site or clients. They all have anti-bacterial Gel on board plus anti-bac wipes.
We will also supply our clients with a Gel pump plus wipes if they wish to use during or after we leave the job to wipe door handles down etc or touch points.
Ideally we prefer customers not to make us drinks so we are not using anyone's cups on site even though we would like too. All our men will eat their Lunch in their own vans & travel alone to the jobs.
Do you need planning permission to turn a garage into a room?
You don’t usually need planning permission to convert your garage into a room, as long as the work doesn’t involve extending your home. This is because garage conversions are usually allowed under permitted development rights. However, in some areas permitted development rights may be removed which could mean that you’ll need planning permission. You’ll need to check with your local council that garage conversions fall under permitted development rights in your area.
Does a Garage Conversion add value to a house?
Providing that your property has sufficient off-road parking, a garage conversion will add value to your home by providing valuable extra living space. If the cost of your garage conversion is less than the extra value that it will add to your property, a garage conversion could be a cost-effective way to create additional living space in your home.
How long does a Garage Conversion take?
On average, it will take around 3-4 weeks to complete your garage conversion. This timescale depends on the specification of your garage conversion including whether you require plumbing, the number and type of windows and doors that are being added, and whether walls need to be knocked through.
