Garage Conversion Building Regulations
Who and how do I consult for planning permission?
Will my garage conversion need building regulations approval?
Yes, all garage conversions need building regulations approval or else the conversion is technically illegal. It is critical that you get a completion certificate once you do a conversion or else your local council can enforce a reversal of the work been done. This is why you must keep the completion certificate and our 10 years insurance backed guarantee, given to you when we complete your garage conversion, in a safe place. This certificate will show new owners that all work was done according to local building control and the insurance certificate will cover the conversion for the remainder of the insurance period.
Would I require planning permission for my garage conversion?
Only a few garage conversions would need planning permission if the permitted development rights have been removed. We will take care of this process on your behalf and do the applications, drawings and liasing with the planning department to get planning for your conversion. This process can take 6 – 8 weeks after the application has been accepted to complete planning. It is worth noting that we have never been refused planning to date...
