If you love where you live and just need a little more space a garage to kitchen conversion can give you the additional space you need, without the expense and hassle of moving. In an article published in The Telegraph in September 2018 the average costs of moving were quoted at almost £12,000.00! That’s in addition to the extra you are likely to be paying for moving to the house that gives you the space you desire. A well-thought out and professionally managed garage conversion can add as much as 10 per cent to the value of your home. It can be one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your property’s resale value.
The type of kitchen conversions we undertake most regularly is a garage to kitchen conversion. Often we will be creating an additional space to relax, a dedicated dining room, or depending on the size of the garage a stunning open plan kitchen. The possibilities are endless-perhaps you’ve always wanted a huge dining room or extra kitchen storage. We can explore any new kitchen ideas you may have.
Garages: -If your garage is attached to your home and you wish to convert it into habitable kitchen space then planning permission is not usually required providing the work is internal and does not involve enlarging the building. Normally you would need to apply for building regulations and change of usage. Without a building regulations completion certificate, you may encounter difficulties should you wish to sell your home in the future as your beautiful new room would still technically be a garage. Having a conversion completed by expert builders, which meets
building regulations ensures elements such as the foundations, flooring, ventilation, fire safety with appropriate doors and windows, insulation, electrics, roof, external and internal walls and drainage have been considered and met.
