Garage conversions in Croydon

Garage conversions in Croydon have become extremely popular as homeowners look to increase the usable living space in their house. If you are thinking about the same, converting your garage could give you valuable office space, extend your kitchen, or even add an extra bedroom to your home.

A newly installed Garage Conversion in Croydon

Whether you have an integrated garage or an external garage, no planning permission is required to proceed with a standard garage conversion, so long as the conversion won’t extend your house outward. This applies to all houses that are not listed (in which case, you may require listed building consent).

Because your garage is already built, the amount of work involved in a garage conversion isn’t as much as you would think. The floor and roof will need raising to match your house, and the walls will need insulating and building up, but the process isn’t inherently complex for a specialist builder and contractor.

How much does a garage conversion in Croydon cost?

Garage conversions in Croydon cost anywhere from £8,000 to £15,000, so if you have budgeted £10,000 for your garage conversion, you won’t be far off. The price depends on the square footage of the room and what you want doing.

A standard garage conversion will include reconfiguring the external wall, raising the floor and roof level to that of the house, insulating the walls and roof, plastering the walls and roof, installing electrics and installing heating, and integrating radiators and electric appliances. Flooring, underfloor heating and installing a suite (such as for a bathroom) will increase the cost of your garage conversion.

How long does a garage conversion take?

Most Croydon garage conversions take 2 to 3 weeks to complete. You can reasonably expect yours to take 3 weeks at a minimum.

If the work involves knocking through one or more of the garage walls (for example, to extend your kitchen), building up a new roof, fixing structural issues or digging, then the work is likely to extend up to a month and sometimes more. This can be offset by a skilled team, but you should allow a month for the project.

David fitted new windows and French doors for us. He is without doubt the best... tradesman we’ve ever used and we would highly recommend him to anyone. Punctual, professional, efficient and takes pride in his work. We were happy to leave David and his excellent team working in our house when we were out. Everything was left spotlessly clean and the work was done to a very highly standard very quickly. David fixed a broken gutter for no extra charge and readjusted a door, neither of which was part of the agreed job. Thanks a lot David for a flawless five-star service just before Christmas!read more

Hired David and his team on a repair and finishing job after having been let... down by another contractor. His approach was superb, professional, polite and very responsive. His price is higher than some, but he is well worth the extra investment. The value for money you get from him and his experience is exceptional and I have no regrets about using him or the work provided. This was not a straight forward job but David made it feel that way. Highly recommended.read more

One word: Superb. Thank you David for a brilliant job on replacing my... conservatory roof. No task was too big or small. David even took it upon himself to fix a broken gutter at no extra charge. The whole job was done at a very good price. Very clear communication, tidy and very professional at all time. I already have recommended him to my brother-in law and will continue to do so to others. Thank you David!read more

David is the best and most reliable contractor I have ever met. He converted... our courtyard into a conservatory. This was done at a very high standard. It looks amazing and is completely waterproof. He came across a lot of unforeseen problems in the process, e.g. had to clear a drain, move an extractor fan, level the ground area etc- which he attended to effortlessly as part of the job. He also assisted us with many ancillary and unrelated matters, e.g. putting my clock up against the wall, remove old window frames, liaising with another contractor on damp issues elsewhere in the house- all without charging extra as other contractors would do. He is super professional in the execution of his work and regularly updated us as to where we are in the process. He also has wonderful bedside manners, a superb sense of humour, and a humane touch. We always felt that we are in such good and honest hands. I would highly recommend him- we will never be using anybody else at our home again. Well done David and thank you so much for your help.read more

David texted me the morning after I had advertised the work. He turned up the... same day. As I was describing the work that needs doing: he kept saying, Yes, I can fix that ( French sliding door), Yes, I can fix that too ( conservatory door), yes I can replace that as well ( conservatory roof). He came back to me with the quote within 1 hour. Reasonable cost. And, yes he did all the work with professionalism. I must admit I had few other window-doors and conservatory specialists...All I can say is that they should go to David for some training. David is miles ahead of anyone I had around, in every aspect. I strongly recommend David - do not waste time with anyone else if Dave is available...and boy, he is not only smart and experienced but hard working and kind,too. Well done Dave, God Bless and keep up the good work!read more
