The Construction Process for Garage Conversions  
‍in Bracknell, Wokingham and the Surrounding Areas

Every successful garage remodel begins with a detailed consultation. This stage involves discussing your goals, budget, and how you intend to use the new space, whether it’s a home office, gym, or guest bedroom.

Our in-house design team will then assess the existing structure, checking for any planning permissions or building regulations that may apply. In many cases, garage conversions fall under permitted development, but certain projects – especially detached garages or properties in conservation areas – may require approval. Once the survey is complete, detailed plans and drawings are produced to guide the build.

Before the construction of your new kitchen, annexe, or utility room can begin, the existing garage structure is evaluated to ensure it can support the conversion. We’ll inspect the foundations, walls, and roofs to identify any areas that need reinforcement or repair.

Preparation work includes clearing out the garage and disconnecting or rerouting any existing utilities. The concrete floor is often upgraded with insulation and damp-proof membranes to meet current building standards, ensuring the new room is warm, comfortable, and energy efficient.

Once the groundwork is complete, the real transformation begins. The generally includes:

• Wall and Floor Insulation:

  High-quality insulation is fitted to keep the space energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.

• New Windows and Doors:

  Replacing the garage door with a modern window or brickwork section enhances natural light and creates a residential feel.

• Electrical and Plumbing Work:

  If your new space requires lighting, heating, or water, certified electricians and plumbers will safely install all necessary systems.

• Partition Walls and Plastering:

  Internal walls may be added for layout changes, and the entire space is plastered and prepared for decorating.

Throughout this stage, our experienced builders ensure every detail meets building regulations and safety standards.
