Garage Conversions
Garage Conversions
Here at Blythswood Home Renovations we have been converting garages across Scotland for many years, based in Hillington, Glasgow we are well equipped to work across the central belt in areas such as Glasgow, Larkhall, Paisley, Helensburgh, Troon, Edinburgh, Dunfermline and Falkirk.
What do you use your garage for? If it’s turned into more of a store room, than a safe spot to park the car, then maybe it’s time to consider making better use of what could be a valuable asset.
A garage conversion is one of the speediest and most affordable routes to adding floor space: a typical scheme creating a new home office or living area can often be completed in little more than a week.
Plus, of course, you won’t need to resort to moving to get a house that suits your family’s needs; so you’ll save on fees for stamp duty, solicitors etc. What’s more, unlike a conventional home extension, it won’t eat up any of your garden amenity.
A garage conversion can will also increase your homes value by creating further living space.
Key Considerations
Planning Permission – In most cases an internal garage conversion falls under “permitted development rights” and does not require planning permission. we will be able to advise you regarding this further as we design your garage conversion.
Insulation And Weatherproofing – We will add the appropriate insulation to the walls, floor and roof if necessary to make the space energy-efficient and comfortable. A damp-proof membrane is also essential to prevent moisture from coming through the floor.
Utilities And Services – Depending on the rooms new purpose we will organise installation of electricals, plumbing and heating as required.
Ventilation And Fire Safety – Adequate ventilation is required to prevent mould and condensation. New fire safety measures and a safe escape route will also be necessary.
