Make more space with less demolition.

How many of us have a garage that is just full of clutter, probably stuff that you can happily get rid of?

Extending your space by making use of the footprint you already have is a cost effective way of making home improvements, maybe you want to add one of the following ideas below;

• Turn your garage into a bedroom for guests or teenage children.

• Convert it into a playroom for your children or grandchildren.

• Add a practical laundry room, utility, boot room or shower.

• Build a home gym or yoga studio.

• Set up a home cinema or games room.

• Create a home office or studio for your creative pursuits.

Transforming this often overlooked area into a functional and stylish extension of your living space will not only add value to your home but will give you a new living area to enjoy.

Here are a couple of things to consider before you make any changes;

• Check for building regulations, will the change be under permitted development?

• Damp proofing and checking for subsidence

• Ensure you have good ventilation, do you need to add a window/sky light to add extra light?

• How is the garage attached to your home?

• Insulation should be a top priority so you can be comfortable in it throughout the seasons.

• Where do you need your light and electrical fittings and do you need plumbing?

Calculate your costs before you start the project to make sure you can complete your space in the way you would like it done, then you know it will be put to good use;

• Measure up your material requirements and add 10% for contingency

• Calculate labour costs or get a quote from a builder to do the project for you

• Will the job include VAT?
