If you have a unused garage area, why not consider a conversion within Dumbarton and make the most from the house. Compare and contrast around four totally free quotes with our service and find the top price for a conversion.

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

A garage conversion means you won't need to relocate for more space, which could help you save a lot of money on solicitor costs, estate agent payments and stamp duty. And the extra space can be converted into what you need, no matter whether it's an extension to the living area or kitchen, or perhaps a separate room entirely.

With the infrastructure already in position it's clear that a garage conversion is going to be less costly than constructing an extension as well, and won't consume important space within your garden. With the exterior unlikely to change as well, it's an alternative way to get around restrictions for conservation areas and listed buildings.

If you are thinking about converting your garage, look at prices from companies in Dumbarton using our quick and easy service to obtain the best offer available.

Dumbarton

Translating as 'fort of the Britons', Dumbarton is a town in West Dunbartonshire. It is on the north bank of the River Clyde where the River Leven meets the Clyde estuary in Scotland. Traditionally, Dumbarton was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Alclud, and after that the county town of Dunbartonshire, being a Royal burgh in between 1222 and 1975. Dominating the town is Dumbarton Castle, set on top of Dumbarton Rock, which has a long history, recognised mainly for its significant part in the War of Independence by being the prison of William Wallace after his capture by the English. As a Scheduled Ancient Monument, Dumbarton Rock is legally safeguarded from any sort of work taking place on the rock, such as prohibiting such activities as rock climbing. Dumbarton was bombed on a large scale amid the Second World War, as the German air force was targeting shipyards, with Clyde and Leven Street being greatly affected. Decoy lights were regularly positioned on the Kilpatrick hills above the town and on storage tanks in the attempt to imitate those of the shipyards and to outwit the bombers, which had a decent amount of success. Though Dumbarton was known for its shipbuilding, glassmaking and whisky production, the decline of these markets in the 20th century has meant that it is primarily a commuter town for its 20527 residents. The town is home to Dumbarton F.C., playing in the Scottish Professional Football League at Scottish Championship level. The Denny Civic Theatre is used by a number of local groups, such as the Dumbarton People's Theatre who put on numerous performances. For all of your house upgrades, make sure to make use of trustworthy specialists in Dumbarton to make certain of quality.

FAQs

Will my garage conversion cause disruption to the rest of the house?

It shouldn’t do. Most companies will do all the interior work first, and the last job to do will be creating the opening from the house to the conversion. A reputable company will make sure they cause as little disruption as possible during this time.

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 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.

Will the company deal with the building control application?

Most companies will make the building control application on your behalf and ensure that all the work is completed to the right standards. When a building inspector has inspected it, you’ll get a certificate. It usually takes around 6-8 weeks after completion to come.
