Couldn't fault the team from start to finish.

    Couldn't fault the team from start to finish from meeting Cait and Jim and speaking to Joanne on the phone down to each individual trade who came and delivered a speedy professional job. We were actually on holiday for the full renovation but I had no reservations and was kept up to date every day on the progress of the job. Timeliness was spot on, communication was excellent and workmanship is absolutely outstanding. Extremely happy with the results and couldn't recommend Convert any higher.

    Almost at the end of our 2-week garage conversion and can't fault Convert or the team. They have been super reliable. We were given a start date at the point of paying our deposit and that date never changed. Robson and Zac have showed up early and worked tirelessly every day to get the job done to a really good standard. They have communicated clearly throughout, checking in on our preferred placements of sockets, and have been tidy, polite and respectful, not to mention very patient and kind with our kids. It really is amazing what they have managed to achieve in the space of 2 weeks.

    We recently had our garage converted, and I'm really happy with how it's coming along. The team have been professional, easy to talk to, and really listened to what we wanted. We finally have a usable utility room, and I can't wait to see it finished. Really appreciate all the effort the team have put in!

    We've used Convert to convert our garage and also build a small extension to the rear of our house and would recommend them to anyone looking to have similar work done. Their communication has been really good throughout. Everyone we have dealt with has been very friendly and helpful and the quality of the work has been great! Jim, Cait and our project manager Les have guided us through the process.

    We just got our garage converted and a new driveway done by Convert Your Garage, and it looks beautiful! The extra space from the garage conversion is just what we needed, and the new driveway makes everything look so much better. The team was super friendly and made the whole thing easy. We love it and definitely give them 5 stars!

    What an incredible team of highly skilled, kind and super tidy workmen! The project started as fast as we needed as we gave Jim and Caitlin a tight deadline. They succeeded with time to spare! Excellent workmanship! The workmen were very considerate to my toddler and were even quiet when he was napping! Caitlin and Jim gave expert advice throughout the project and the final result is a dream!

(Questions we get asked)

Garage conversion FAQs

Still got a question? 0161 766 6518

  • 01 Do I need planning permission to convert my garage?

    In most cases, no. Converting an attached or integral garage into a habitable room is usually permitted development, as long as you aren't extending the building. The exceptions are conservation areas, listed buildings and newer estates where a planning condition has removed permitted development rights. We check this at your free survey and handle the application if one is needed.

  • 02 Does a garage conversion need Building Regulations approval?

    Yes, always. Building Regulations cover the foundations, the new wall and window, insulation, ventilation, fire safety and escape routes. We submit to Building Control, arrange every inspection and hand you the completion certificate at the end. You'll need that certificate when you sell your home.

  • 03 How much does a garage conversion cost in Manchester?

    Most single garage conversions in Greater Manchester cost around £9,000 to £17,000, depending on the layout, the finish and whether the garage is integral, attached or detached. An ensuite or a double garage costs more. After a free survey you get a fixed, itemised quote with no surprises. See our garage conversion prices.

  • 04 How long does a garage conversion take?

    A straightforward single garage conversion can be finished in as little as 7 days. Double garages, ensuites and more complex layouts take longer. You get a confirmed start date and a schedule before any work begins.

  • 05 Will converting my garage add value to my home?

    Usually, yes. An extra bedroom or living space is generally worth more than a garage used for storage, particularly where cars live on the drive anyway. Buyers' solicitors will ask for the Building Regulations completion certificate, which we provide with every conversion.

  • 06 Can you convert both single and double garages?

    Yes. A single garage makes a great bedroom, office or gym. A double gives you room for a bedroom with an ensuite, a self-contained annexe, or a new room at the front with storage kept at the back.

  • 07 My boiler is in the garage. Is that a problem?

    No, it isn't usually a problem. We build a neat boxed-in cupboard around the boiler so it stays accessible for servicing but blends in with the new room.

  • 08 Can I stay at home while the work is done?

    Yes. Most of the work happens inside the garage and at the front of the house, so you can live at home as normal. The team leave the site tidy and safe at the end of every day.
