Customer reviews:
I recently used GDB architectural services and building contractors to build a side infill extension at the rear of a 1930s house. Hadi Kaiser from GDB was the project manager. Hadi was great he visited the property once a week to ensure everything was progressing according to plan and was always available to listen to any concerns and resolve any problems that occurred immediately. Adrian Gavril the builder from GDB and his team were also great. They were courteous and very professional, Basically Adrian brought my vision to life and I am extremely pleased with the end result, which is now a beautiful and very comfortable home. I would be very happy to recommend them.

Benefits of a garage conversion
You might want to reconsider its purpose if you have a residential garage and hardly ever use it to park your car. While half the UK population owns a home garage (53%), only less than a quarter uses it for parking vehicles (9%). In most homes, it is an underused space reserved for junk. With urban housing getting costlier daily, your garage is now a precious living space. Garage conversions in London is one of the most beneficial home improvement ideas you should not hesitate to undertake. It is extra space with potential staring you in the face.
- Its cost-effectiveness is one of the luring benefits of this type of conversion. After all, it is an existing building. From groundwork to walls to roof, you save money on external building work. If your garage conversion is single-storey then, almost all work is internal.
- There is more flexibility for conversion. You can choose to extend upwards with a double-storey conversion. If storage is essential, you can opt for partial conversion, leaving enough room for a more chic tool shed.
- At least a 10% increase in house value. A Nationwide study shows that an extra bedroom adds 10% to the value while a bedroom with a bathroom can add 20%.
- You are not sacrificing your garden space or cutting off natural light to your home when you extend with your garage.
Garage extension ideas
Bedroom – it is perhaps the most sought-after addition to a home. A bedroom can easily fit into your garage space, whether for family use, guest use, or a regular relative’s use. It can be a basic single-storey affair or a double-storey conversion with spacious bathroom facilities. It can be self-contained with an open-plan floor area that includes a kitchenette and a lounge area.
Home office – Build a personalised workspace without breaking your budget. If you are looking for a decent-sized home office without spending on building one, converting your garage is your best option. It, too, can feature a kitchen and a seating area, provided you have enough space.
Children’s playroom – give your children their own space to be creative and express themselves with a playroom. With a children-themed garden room, you are extending the garden area for more outdoor-indoor fun for children.
Dining area – create a picturesque atmosphere for dining with garden views. Go the whole hog and build an upstairs kitchen to turn it into a kitchen extension.
A home gym – if you were discouraged from buying that treadmill you always wanted because you have nowhere to put it, this is your chance to be fully equipped.
Home cinema – invite your friends round for the football or a film free from general household distractions. You can go all in and make space for a large screen TV and sound systems and comfy seating arrangement. It can also become a regular TV/lounge room.
Home library – if you own a large number of books and want them neatly arranged on shelves, you can use your garage extension as a library. It is the ideal retreat for the bookworm.
Extension above a garage
As one of the most convenient house extensions, a top floor to your garage can double the space for half the cost. It is cheaper than a regular double-storey extension or a loft conversion. With this addition, you keep the building work minimal and the completion time brief. You can amalgamate the garage extension to the rest of the house by knocking through walls for a spacious open-plan living area. If you still want a garage for its intended purpose, this method allows for parking on the ground level and living space on the second floor.
Double-storey garage extension
Whether detached or semi-detached with a double-storey garage conversion, you are looking at living spaces big enough for a studio apartment you can rent out. It can even be guest quarters or your grandparents’ comfy residence when they visit. This type of conversion in London saves you the high-stakes expense of moving house.
Planning permission for a garage extension
Generally, planning permission is not required for a single-storey garage conversion as long as the work is internal and the property is not located in a conservation area or a listed building. However, building regulations approval is necessary to convert it into a habitable space. You can apply for a lawful development certificate (LDC) to confirm your permitted development status. This certificate provides proof that your project falls under permitted development rights and does not require planning permission
How much does a garage conversion cost in London?
Garage conversion costs in London vary depending on the type and size of the garage. Larger garages or double-story additions require more construction work and a bigger budget. Typically, a regular-sized garage conversion can cost around £15,000.
