If you have a rarely used garage, why not look at a conversion in Bo'ness to make the most from your household. Compare as many as 4 free quotes with our service to get the ideal price for a conversion.

One of the major advantages with a garage conversion is the space can be transformed quickly for the additional room you need, whether it's for a growing family or simply to add to the value of your home.

A garage conversion means you won't need to move for more space, which could save you thousands of pounds on solicitor fees, estate agent payments and stamp duty. And the extra room could be transformed into whatever you need, no matter whether it's an extension to the living area or kitchen, or possibly a separate room entirely.

With the structure already in position it's evident that a garage conversion will probably be cheaper than building an extension as well, and won't eat important space within your garden. With the exterior unlikely to change too, it's an alternative way to bypass restrictions for conservation areas as well as listed buildings.

Should you be keen on converting your garage, review quotes from companies in Bo'ness making use of our quick and easy service to receive the best offer available.

Bo'ness

Bo'ness, officially named Borrowstounness, is a coastal parish inside the Central Lowlands of Scotland. Before the local government reforms at the end of the 20th century, it was a part of the county of West Lothian. Situated on a hillside on the south bank of the Firth of Forth inside the Falkirk council area, it is 17 miles to the northwest of Edinburgh and 7 miles east of Falkirk. Based on the 2001 Census, Bo'ness includes a population of roughly 13,961, and estimates in 2008 have indicated that it has developed to 14,500 residents. Many of the inhabitants commute to work, mainly to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Flakirk, meaning that the town is largely a commuter town. Among the list of largest employers is the Ineos petrochemical facility, which is situated by Grangemouth, which is close to the town. Bo'ness has many attractions which are popular with nearby residents and visitors. Some examples include the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway, the Birkhill Fireclay Mine as well as the remains of an engine house. Kinneil House, a historic house maintained by Historic Scotland, is situated within a public park and the grounds in which James Watt developed the steam engine. His workshop remains in ruins. The town also includes a recently redeveloped Hippodrome Cinema, the oldest cinema in Scotland, constructed in 1912 and designed by a local architect and resident, Matthew Steele. For all of your property upgrades, make sure that you pick trustworthy pros in Bo'ness to ensure you get a top quality service.

FAQs

Will I need planning permission or building regulations approval?

You may need planning permission if you are planning a larger extension. All extensions will need building regulations approval. An architect can assist with this and if planning permission is required. A reputable contractor will also be able to advise you if this is needed as well.

do i need building regs for a garage conversion?

Are you considering converting your garage into a more usable space in your home? If yes, then you’d probably want to know if you’ll require building regs before converting the garage. The answer to this question is yes. Although you may not require planning approval to convert your garage into a more usable space, but you’d usually need approval under the Building Regulations.

When re-structuring your garage into a habitable space, the following should be taken into consideration: structural alterations, ventilation, moisture proofing, insulation, fireproofing, escape routes as well as the submission of a building building notice or full plan application to the local council in order to inform them about the planned project.

• Walls

You’ll require an approval if you plan to infill the garage door with a window and a new wall. This is because the garage may have been built of a shallow slab which implies that a new foundation would be needed for the new wall construction.

• Floor

Even though there’s a high possibility that the garage floor is strong enough for domestic use since its designed to withstand the weight of vehicles, you may however need to upgrade to make sure it suitable for both thermal insulation and damp proofing. In addition, there may also be the need to to alter the floor level in such a way that it matches that of the remaining parts of the house.

• Ventilation

According to the Building Regulations requirements, there’s a need for adequate ventilation for each individual rooms which includes garage conversions for general health purposes. What’s going to determine the ventilation level that’ll be required is the frequency at which the room is used. Ventilation can be provided through purge or simply opening the window or via trickle ventilation.

How long will my garage conversion take?

It’s often said that a garage conversion can take anywhere between 1 week to 1 month, depending on the size and scope. But many standard conversions without any plumbing can take as little as 5 days. Your contractor will be able to tell you exactly how long your garage conversion will take.

how much is a single garage conversion?

Converting your garage into a habitable room can be an option that’s too good to pass up especially when you’re in dire need of more living space in your home. If you’re in a similar situation and considering the cost of a single garage conversion in your home, then you’ve come to the right place! The fact is, the cost of a single garage conversion is dependent on a number of influencing factors which includes your specific plans as well as your location. Generally, the price of garage remodel is expected to cost about half of what you’ll incur when building a home extension or addition from scratch. However, before commencing a project of this magnitude you should put into consideration some things.

A single garage conversion is a huge job which typically involves wall insulation, floor raising, heating addition, cool and ventilation as well as updating doors and windows. Before you get started you should consider if converting your single garage into a room is a good option, whether a permit is required to convert a garage, the type of room a garage can become, does it add value to your home and how much its going to cost.

Just like any other home improvement project, garage conversion cost varies depending on several factors like your garage space specifications. Other factors include the general condition of your garage - the condition of your foundation, walls, floors or roofs, the ceiling and more, planning applications, your location, the services of a structural engineer, internal or external garages etc. According to Santander, the average cost of converting a single garage costs approximately £6,300. However, considering the aforementioned influencing factors we’d expect the cost of a single garage conversion to cost within the range of £5,500 to £10,500.
