Garages are one of the most under-utilised spaces in any home – yet they come at a premium as far as house price is concerned and they’re certainly a desired feature.

What are the current garage conversion trends in Crawley? 

Repeated lockdowns and prolonged work from home periods have seen more people start up new businesses than ever and so Refresh Crawley has spent a lot of time recently working on converting garages to home office spaces and new business premises. Growing families frequently look to add an extra bedroom to their home with a garage conversion and some even do so to earn additional income through the let of the new room through AirBnb or other similar rental services.

How much does a garage conversion cost?

Exactly how much a garage conversion costs depends on the size and scale of the renovation job at hand. In order to provide an accurate quote to meet your project’s needs, we always recommend an in-person visit to the property from a Refresh Renovation expert – with no obligation to proceed. They will be able to discuss options for the conversion as well as begin to cement a project plan and timeline.

Why choose Refresh for a garage conversion?

Garage conversions by Refresh Renovations follow the innovative Refresh approach; that is, a full project management programme overseeing and working through every aspect of the renovation. This method takes the hassle out of the homeowners’ hands and allows them to continue on with their day-to-day life with minimal disruption but still with oversight and decision making throughout.

Will I need planning permission for my garage conversions? 

Unless you are extending your garage or vastly changing the designated usage of the property, it is unlikely that you will need planning permission from the local planning authority (LPA). Your Refresh Project Consultant will be able to advise on what is and isn’t required, and will file such applications for you if necessary. We can also recommend on the best course of action to take should homeowners not wish to file for such permissions; amending our plans to fit the best possible scope.
