What are the benefits of a garage conversion?

 There are lots of benefits from a garage conversion: 

More liveable space

One of the biggest appeals of garage conversions is the ability to expand the liveable space of your home. With the ever-increasing size of modern cars, a traditional garage can sometimes be a bit of a squeeze, leading to them being underutilised. So why not transform that wasted space into a new liveable space, such as a home office, a gym, a room for your hobbies, or an extra living room or bedroom? This will give you and your family space to spread out and grow.

Versatile and practical

With garage conversions Warrington homeowners are the drivers of their own destiny, the choices limited only by your imagination. Once the initial work has been completed, this versatile space can be easily changed to meet the evolving needs of your family. It might be a games room for your kids, then once they’ve flown the nest, it could be reimagined as an office space or hobby room, and later as additional living space for an elderly relative. The possibilities are endless.

Excellent value for money

If you’re considering garage conversions in Warrington and the surrounding areas, one of your primary considerations will be the cost. However, converting your existing garage offers all the advantages of adding additional space to your property at a lower price point than many other styles of renovation or house extensions. At DK Building, we offer a transparent price guide to give you a ballpark figure for your garage conversion. After an inspection and consultation, this is refined to an exact figure which is clearly laid out in a contract before the work begins.

Increase the value of your home

Naturally, converting your existing garage comes with an initial outlay, but it’s a great investment in the future value of your home. A recent article on a national financial website suggests that a standard UK garage conversion could add a massive £43,000 to your home’s value. Therefore, homeowners investing in garage conversions Warrington can look forward to a great return on investment, in addition to extending their living space.

What to consider before arranging a garage conversion in Warrington?

When planning a garage conversion in Warrington, there are several factors to consider.

Understanding the purpose of your new space is essential. Whether you’re using it as a new office, an extra bedroom, a home gym, or a hobby room, the intended purpose will shape the design, electrics, and plumbing requirements. You also need to evaluate how this new space will integrate with your home’s existing layout while meeting your requirements.

Other factors to consider include whether you will require planning permission for your garage conversion in Warrington, that your plans meet local council building regulations, calculating a budget for your project, and weighing up the potential disruption to your daily life.

How long does a garage conversion take?

The length of time it takes to complete a garage conversion in Warrington can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project.

A standard single garage conversion typically ranges between three to six weeks, allowing for obtaining the relevant planning permissions, construction, interior fitting, electrical and plumbing installations, and finishing touches like painting and flooring. 

However, detached garages are more complex because the structure is entirely separate from your property, so may require an overhaul of the foundations and structure, and will require more work to set up the electrical, water and gas installations.

Typically, these take between eight and 12 weeks.

Double garage conversions offer massive amounts of potential, with the ability to convert them into one big space, two separate rooms, or even add internal walls to create different sub rooms.

On average, they take between 10 and 14 weeks to complete.

These are all estimated times. The actual time for garage conversions Warrington might vary based on your project specifics, and any unforeseen issues that may arise.

At DK Building, we strive to keep this process as seamless as possible, ensuring quality and efficiency from start to finish. We offer all our valued clients access to a new technology called Gantt Chart, where you can see and track every aspect of the building project.
