Find a Garage Conversion Expert on Bark

If you’re looking to make some extra space, a garage conversion could be just what you need. By taking advantage of the room in your garage, you can effectively net yourself an extension - without the hassle of actually extending your home.

Garage conversions are a very non-disruptive way to add space to your property. They are very low maintenance (at least until it’s time to make structural changes). Luckily, getting the garage conversion that you deserve is pretty simple too. At Bark, we have a whole range of garage conversion specialists that can help you turn your garage into the room of your dreams.

What should I look for when hiring a Garage Conversion expert?

So how do you go about picking the right person for the job? Comparing professionals is simple and getting quotes takes two minutes on Bark.com You can start the hiring process by narrowing down your choices to a few favourites. When picking your Garage Conversion Specialist, it’s best to have a look at reviews from previous customers and to ask some questions like:

  • What’s the best kind of conversion for my garage?
  • Can you show examples of previous work?
  • How long will the job take?
  • Do you provide a guarantee?
These are good places to begin when looking for the right professional.

What type of Garage Conversion is best for me?

When getting your garage converted, there are four main types of conversion available. After your specialist has visited your property, they will discuss with you what is the best option for your needs.


  • Full Integral Conversion - An integral garage conversion is one that changes a garage directly attached to your home. These garages are connected via a door and usually link to the kitchen. This common type of conversion is very cheap and can add up to 150 sq ft.² to your property. Many people choose to convert the garages into playrooms, home offices or utilities.

  • Double Integral Conversions - A double integral garage conversion is much similar to your regular conversion, except that it has twice the amount of space. The difference with this type of conversion is that you may choose to convert only one part of the garage. For example, you could leave part of the garage unconverted in order to keep your parking space. If you convert the entire garage, you can expect to have 300 extra sq ft.² to play with.

  • Partial Integral Conversions - Partial integral garage conversions are good for those with a lower budget. Because they are low-cost and cause minimal disruption, they have become very popular in recent years. Many homeowners will opt to keep the garage door in the same place as it was originally placed. The end of the garage can be made into a living space, usually split with a partition.

  • Detached Garage Conversions Detached garage conversions can demand additional work. There is also a possibility that planning permission will be needed too. However, if your detached garage is close enough to your home a direct link may be made for easier access. This will depend on the type of room you are converting your garage to.

Do I need a Garage Conversion?

If this is the first time you’re hearing of a garage conversion, you’re not alone. A growing trend with many homeowners, garage conversions are a less committal way to add value to your home, without having to get back on the market.

As mentioned earlier, getting your garage converted can up the value of your home – in fact, it can add up to 10% to the original price of your home, so it’s definitely something to consider if you’re thinking about selling your property in the future. As you can imagine, having an additional room will give you much more living space.

Depending on your own requirements, you can convert your garage into whatever type of room you wish. Converting your garage is also inexpensive, especially when compared to building typical extensions (such as conservatories). Not only will your garage conversion not need planning permission, but you can also partially convert your garage if you still want to keep some garage space.

How much does a Garage Conversion cost?

The fact that a garage conversion is so affordable makes it an attractive prospect for homeowners. This is in part to do with the fact that you don’t need to create any foundations or construct any walls to convert your garage. In addition, many garages have an electric supply, lowering building costs even more.

How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?

Most garages are suitable and planning permission is unnecessary if you don’t plan to alter the structure of the building. ( e.g. New roof)
However if you live in a Listed building or a Conservation Area, planning permission may be required for even minor modifications.

Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?

The main steps are typical to most building projects, we work methodically through the list to make sure all processes are followed.
• Design and planning
• Planning permission if needed
• Building regulations to adhere to
• Insulation and damp proofing
• Plumbing and wiring
• Flooring
• Walls
• Windows and doors

What do you love most about your job?

People often say that they cannot relate to their job, or have no interest in the product or service they’re selling. In our industry there is always something that we can relate to or have an opinion on as we use, see, like, and desire products and concepts that are directly related to our trade every day of our lives.
It also gives us an immense sense of pride if we see permanent examples of our efforts on our travels; how good is it to see something and say, “I developed / specified or installed that”?

What inspired you to start your own business?

It provides an opportunity to develop your creative side, your practical side, your cost-cutting side, and your extravagant side. You can use your innovational instinct, your common sense, or your engineering skills with stunning effect.

Why should our clients choose you?

Clients have overwhelmingly told me they chose me over the competition because they felt confident that I knew what I was talking about and how to get things done. Because they were willing to take my advice, I was able to meet their objectives on budget.

I was in search of an architect to assist in designing a plan for a new extension with internal alterations. Despite trying many local and national firms, none seemed interested, for reasons unknown to me. However, my search led me to Stuart, a highly praised professional within a local group, and I was not disappointed. Stuart demonstrated professionalism and provided expert advice throughout the challenging planning process. Ultimately, we succeeded, and his extensive network of local builders and tradespeople proved to be an added bonus. If you're looking for an architect who is professional, prompt, and takes pride in their work, I highly recommend Stuart.

Rik and Kaley were absolutely great at fitting our new Kitchen. From the moment Rik came to view and give us a quote, he was professional and straight to the point about what he would be doing. We needed our kitchen fitted urgently and communicating with Rik was quick and easy which was very helpful. He showed a real passion for his work so we knew we could trust him to do the best possible job. He definitely exceeded our expectations. Working accurately and efficiently, Rik managed to complete the job in 2 days. The kitchen looks amazing and we couldn't be any happier. Thank you so much!
