Garage Conversions Across Solihull
A garage conversion in Solihull is one of the quickest ways to add a proper living space to your home. Most garages end up full of things nobody uses, while the rest of the house feels short on room. Converting yours gives you a bedroom, office, snug or gym that feels like part of the house, not an afterthought.
We work on all kinds of homes across Solihull. That includes older semis in Olton and Shirley with a garage to the side, and newer houses in Monkspath and Dickens Heath with an integral garage. Every conversion is built to meet building regulations, so it's signed off properly and adds value when you come to sell.
What's Included in Your Garage Conversion
Survey, design & approvals
We check the structure, floor, walls and roof height, confirm whether you need planning permission, then draw up the layout and handle the building control application.
Structure & insulation
The garage door is replaced with an insulated wall and window. The floor is raised, damp proofed and insulated, and the walls and ceiling are brought up to building regs.
Finishing
Electrics, heating, plastering, flooring and decorating, so the room's ready to use as soon as we're done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion in Solihull?
Usually not. Most garage conversions fall under permitted development, as long as the work is internal and you're not extending the building. You're more likely to need planning permission if your home is listed or in a conservation area, eg parts of Knowle or Hampton-in-Arden. You may also need it if permitted development rights were removed when your estate was built, which is common on newer developments. We check this during the free survey.
Do garage conversions need building regulations approval?
Yes. Turning a garage into a habitable room needs building regs approval, covering insulation, fire safety, ventilation, damp proofing and structure. We handle the application with building control, and you get a completion certificate at the end, which you'll need when you sell.
How long does a garage conversion take?
Most single garage conversions take around 2 to 4 weeks on site once the plans and approvals are sorted. Integral garages are usually quickest because they're already joined to the house. Detached garages and anything needing structural work take longer.
Can any garage be converted?
Most can. Integral and attached garages are the most straightforward. Detached garages work well as home offices, gyms or annexes, but usually need more work on insulation, foundations and running electrics and heating across. The survey checks the walls, floor, roof height and damp, so you know exactly what's involved before you commit.
