If you have a unused garage area, why not look at a conversion within Burnham-on-sea to make the most from your house. Take a look at around four free quotations with this service and get the ideal price for a conversion.

One of the main advantages with a garage conversion is that the space can be changed quickly for the extra room you need, whether it's for a growing family or simply just to add to the price of your house.

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

With the infrastructure already in place it's clear that a garage conversion will be less costly than building an extension as well, and won't consume valuable space in your garden. With the exterior not likely to change too, it's a good way to get around rules for conservation areas as well as listed buildings.

Should you be serious about converting your garage, compare quotes from companies within Burnham-on-sea using our quick service to receive the best offer available.

Burnham-on-sea

Burnham-on-Sea is a town in Somerset, located on the mouth of the River Parrett and Bridgewater Bay. Before the 18th century, Burnham was a tiny fishing village. Its growth started when it became a popular seaside resort throughout the Victorian time, at a time when seaside holidays were extremely popular. It's part of the parish of Burnham-on-Sea and Heybridge, and it shares a town council with Highbridge, a neighbouring market town. At the time of the 2011 Census, the permanent resident population of the town was roughly 19,576. Due to the town's positioning on the edge of the Somerset Levels and moors where they meet the Bristol Channel, Burnham's history is dominated by land reclamation and sea defences since the Roman era. Resulting from the town's position near the mouth of the River Parrett, there is a high danger to boats in the location. Lighthouses are, consequently, substantial landmarks in the town, with the original lighthouse, the Round Tower, constructed to take over from the light on the top of the 14th-century town of St. Andrews Church used to decrease the amount of shipwrecks. The High Lighthouse is 34 metres tall, and one lighthouse is known as 'Lighthouse on Legs'. The construction of a stone pier was completed in 1858 by the Somerset Central Railway. Shortly after its establishment in 1860, a steamer service to Wales started, although it wasn't a commercial success. A second steamer service, concrete pier, completed after 3 years of work in 1914, is known as the shortest pier in Britain. In spite of its tiny size, the pier was shortlisted as being on the list of top five piers in Britain. For all of your property improvement jobs, be certain that you select trusted professionals in Burnham-on-Sea to ensure that you get a top quality service .

FAQs

how long does a garage conversion take?

Garage conversion is a great way to add extra usable space to your home without having to extend your property. A fun fact is that, in the UK if you have your car parked in the garage, you’re in the minority. According to a research carried out by Admiral Loans, just about 33 percent of home owners in the UK store their cars in the garage. For most people the garage is literally a dumping ground that’s never fully utilized as such. In recent times, the garage is now being used to store a variety of other stuffs asides a car which includes garden furniture, tools and appliances, utilities such as washing machine, fridge and freezer as well as food and groceries. These facts show that more and more people are underutilizing their garage when they may actually be in need of more usable space in their property. So why not put into consideration converting the garage into a new space that would be able to serve more purpose?

If you’ve decided to convert your garage, you’d probably want to know the how long the project will take. There are a wide range of factors that can determine the duration of a garage conversion project. These factors include:

• If the foundation needs reinforcing

• If the floors, walls, or roofs are in a bad condition.

• If the ceiling height needs some raising

• If the insulation required in newer builds.

All aforementioned factors will make the garage conversion project take longer than expected. However, in normal situations garage conversions are relatively quick to complete once you start the building works. A single-car conversion will usually take about 3 to 4 weeks to complete depending on the existing garage’s structure.

do i need planning permission for a garage conversion?

Are you thinking about converting your garage into a new space? Be it a new bedroom, gym, library or playroom, one thing you’ll have to consider before getting started is whether or not you’re going to require a planning permission. Unlike extensions that needs additional space, garage conversion is all about changing the existing structure of a space that’s already available to you - your garage. As a result, these projects are mostly covered by a planning policy that’s a bit different.

For a garage conversion, it’s very unlikely that you’ll need a planning permission. As a matter of fact, only 10 percent of garage conversions has been estimated to need a full planning permission, with the others coming under the permitted development rights. The permitted development rights, however, only provides coverage for home improvements that’s internal which implies that so far you’re not trying to enlarge your garage, you’ll not require a planning permission. But if otherwise, you’ll have to submit an application before commencing your project.

If you’re looking to comply with the permitted development rights, then your project must comply with some specific guidelines. These rules include the following:

• The work should be internal. No plans to enlarge or extend the existing garage.

• You should make sure that the materials used in carrying out the garage conversion is the same with the materials used in building the existing house.

• The building should not be extended.

You may, however, require a planning permission if you’re going to change a detached garage into a living space which could be a bedroom, small annexe or a living room.

Some houses excluded from the permitted development rights include flats, listed buildings, some new developments and most homes in a conservation area.

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.

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.
