Comments (0)This room was created from the disused garage. The existing garage was divided into two parts, new bedroom with electric Velux skylight and a smaller garage. Similar works can be undertaken with permitted development....See MoreBefore and After - Rollmatic Garage Door

Comments (3)hi Andy as you would like to convert your garage to a living area it would be few other factors involved too: -existing ground slab to brake up insulate and screed over if the existing oversite slab is higher/same level compare to the existing kitchen area level depends on the area involved we talking about a 3x4m area around 3.5k£ with a screeded finish -knock through would involve a structure engineer and you would need calculations which would costs about ~500£ for a knock through and 250£ for a window and door -french door and window would costs around 1000£ (plastic) and to create an opening and install lintel (if no other floor above the garage as if it is again you would need steels to be installed) another 1800£ -tiling would be about 40-45£/m2 depends on a type of tiles being used (all misc and tiles to be provided by client) assuming 12m2 would be about 500£ -plastering for the same area as mentioned above about 700£ -kitchen installation if you would like to have one around 90£/a unit and about 200£/ island -electric would be about 65£/electricity points incl 2nd fix basic materials -plumbing would be vary depends on your requirement first of all i would say update your drawings with the area converted (mXm) wall length to be removed and floors if its any above, size of the opening and type of a french door and window (plastic,timber,aluminium) with these informations the next answer would be much more accurate then mine....See Moreover garage extension & garage conversion
Comments (2)Hi, The extension over the garage should be relatively straightforward in terms of layout but you would have to apply for planning permission. You would also need a structural engineer to check that the existing structure of the garage is sufficiently strong, or could be strengthened to support the new first floor. The first-floor layout I have shown mirrors the top of the stairs so that there are another 2 steps so that the first floor is all the same level. this has to be a small landing at the top of the stairs so i have used this area as a new bathroom and then the front makes the 3rd bedroom significantly bigger. the existing bathroom could be turned into a decent-sized bedroom by taking some of the room from bedroom 2. At the ground floor, the shower could be removed to leave just a W/C and allow easy access from the kitchen to the utility. I would also block up the door in the kitchen to give more space for units and worktops and possibly enlarge the island. Please let me know what you think? And I wish you all the best with your project!! Phill...See MoreGardenFairyGodmother GFG
