For those who have an unused garage, why not think about a conversion in Johnstone and make the most from your home. Compare and contrast as many as four free prices with our service and get the ideal price for a conversion.

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

A garage conversion means you won't have to move for more space, which could help save a lot of money on solicitor fees, estate agent payments and stamp duty. And the extra room can be changed into whatever you need, no matter if it's an extension to the living area or kitchen, or possibly a separate room completely.

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

If you're serious about converting your garage, compare quotations from companies within Johnstone working with our quick service to get the best deal available.

Johnstone

Johnstone is a town in the council area and county of Renfrewshire in the west central Lowlands of Scotland. It lies 3 miles west of Paisley, 12 miles west of the centre of the city of Glasgow and 12 miles north east of Kilwinning. Forming a section of the largest conurbation in Scotland, Johnstone sits on the western boundary of the Greater Glasgow Urban Area. Johnstone was a planned neighborhood, which built around the house of Easter Cochrane, now referred to as Johnstone Castle. Building and construction began in 1782 when the Laird George Houston approved concepts for a number of residential seats forming the town centre. The building of 2 identical civic squares, Houstoun Square and Ludovic Square, and the town acquired its parish church by 1794. Coal mining started to bring wealth to Johnstone in the 19th century, with the population increasing to 5600 in 1831. Such a growth in population meant the boost in slum conditions till the development of an area of the town to provide a significant number of purpose-built housing estates, occurring in the 1930s. Much of Johnstone's history before industrialisation has faded away, with Johnstone Castle coming to be derelict after the last Laird passed away in 1931. The town's population of 15687 is well-connected to the rest of Scotland as a result of its distance to efficient transport links. A dual carriageway links Johnstone to the M8 motorway for transport connections to central Scotland, and the town includes two train stations with routine trains to Glasgow Central, Paisley and the Ayrshie Coast. Those wishing to take a trip more afar are 3.5 miles away from Glasgow International Airport and 40 minutes away by train from Prestwick International Airport.

FAQs

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.

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 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.
