Garage Conversion Project Support
Request quotes and introductions for the key professionals, contractors, trades and suppliers commonly involved in a loft conversion project.
Planning a garage conversion usually involves more than simply finding a builder.
​
Depending on the type and complexity of your project, you may also need support from structural engineers, Building Control professionals or approved inspectors, party wall surveyors, asbestos surveyors, loft-conversion specialists, roofing contractors, scaffolding companies, steel fabricators, staircase suppliers, window and rooflight installers, insulation specialists, electricians, plumbers, plasterers, decorators and other trades.
​
Some homeowners appoint one garage-conversion contractor to manage the entire project. This is often the simplest and quickest route, as the contractor coordinates the main elements of the work. However, it can also be the most expensive option, as the contractor may add a margin to labour, materials, subcontractors and specialist services.
​
Another option is to appoint a contractor for the main structural and construction work while obtaining separate quotations for selected elements, such as scaffolding, steels, rooflights, windows, staircases, electrics, plumbing, heating, insulation, plastering, flooring, fitted storage and decorating. This can help reduce costs and give you more control over the specification, although it usually requires more organisation.
​
Where appropriate, we may introduce you to selected independent providers from the Architectural Partner Network (APN). APN is a vetted network of building, property and home-improvement specialists who can provide quotations for the services you select. There is no obligation to proceed with any provider.
