If you have an unused garage area, why not look at a conversion in Wigton to make the most from the house. Compare up to 4 totally free prices with our service and get the very best price for a conversion.

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

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

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

Should you be interested in transforming your garage, look at prices from companies within Wigton working with our quick service to get the very best deal available.

Wigton

Wigton is a market town in Cumbria, England. Historically in Cumberland, it lies simply outside the Lake District in the district of Allerdale. Wigton is at the centre of the Solway Plain, in between the Caldbeck Fells and also the Solway shore. It is offered by Wigton railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, and the A596 road to Workington. The community of Silloth-on-Solway lies twelve miles to the west, past Abbeytown. Wigton today is a growing market community, with animals public auctions being held consistently at Hopes Auction Company. The main company is Innovia Films. The community has its very own secondary school, called The Nelson Thomlinson School, which is a well-performing comprehensive with close links to the Innovia factory. In 2004 the town was the first settlement in the United Kingdom to impose a time limit on teenagers under the age of 16. It remained in area for 2 weeks, as well as its goal was to decrease the quantity of vandalism in the community centre. It complied with every night vandalism campaigns, that included smashed shop fronts, in addition to intimidation of senior members of the community. The curfew drew in nationwide attention, with the neighborhood senior high school receiving check outs from firms such as Sky News. It had some effect, with much less criminal damage occurring ever since.

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 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.

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.

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.
