How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
firstly you need to check if the walls are solid and strong, check the ceiling height if it can be raised. Conversion is good as it can increase the space of your home, a living room, bedroom , entertainment area etc. Also consideration the fact that some cars of today are much bigger than most of the garages built years back, conversion is the way to go.
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
Physical Inspection - Fill in the Garage Door with a new wall, put in window or door. The original foundation of the garage will most likely be a shallow slab and thus insufficient to support the new wall, in which case a deeper foundation needs to be dug. Soil type, adjacent buildings, nearby trees and the resulting drainage conditions need to be assessed in order to estimate what depth and type of foundations are necessary.
Depending on what foundations are deemed necessary for the particular conversion, a greater or lesser amount of wall construction needs to be undertaken. Walls underneath the ground (substructure) must support the construction above (superstructure) and, to be effective, these sub-walls must be made from brick that is resistant to ground frost and sulphates present in the soil. Ensure that there is enough light and ventilation.
New External Walls
It is likely that at least one completely new external wall will be needed for the garage conversion.
Solid wall/ existing walls must be inspected to check sustainability.
Any external wall must be constructed in such a way as to repel and divert moisture coming from the ground (damp proofing) and stand up to the outside elements (weather resistance). upgraded with a new internal skin and carefully assessed in terms of Damp-Proofing.
Flooring
The existing garage floor is unlikely to be suitable for regular domestic use. The solid concrete floor can either be upgraded in terms of strength, damp-proofing.
Solid Floor - This will need to be upgraded with a Damp Proof Membrane (DPM), which comes in solid and liquid form. Liquid DPM is often best suited for garage conversions. If required, thermal insulation should be placed on top of the membrane and a separation layer may be needed in between to see that the two layers do not react with each other. Finally, the floor is finished with what is known as a floating floor, a layer of wood or screed - depending on the insulation below. If screed is used, it should be around 75mm thick and safeguarded against cracking with a wire mesh.
Suspended Timber Floor - the floor of your house may be constructed fairly high above the ground and, can install a suspended timber floor in your garage conversion to match this. Timber joists are laid from wall to wall with a minimum gap of 150mm maintained between the original concrete floor and the new timber one. A Damp Proof Course (DPC) should be laid underneath the timber floor and an intermediate wall may be necessary for further ventilation.
Garage Roof - normally the there is roof above the garage already- check if its habitable, no leaks etc and install ceiling.
Ventilation
The new room should have adequate ventilation and light.
Lastly - plastering, electrics, tiling and painting and all the finishes.
