Convert Your Garage to Living Space with Rock Projects

Rock Projects (SW) Ltd delivers carefully planned garage conversions for private clients seeking to maximise existing space without compromising the architectural integrity of their property. We regularly undertake garage renovation projects throughout Wellington, Taunton, and the surrounding areas, working with homeowners, architects, and consultants to deliver refined internal spaces suited to modern living.

Our experience spans a wide geographical area, as detailed on our Areas We Cover page, and our gallery showcases completed projects that demonstrate the quality and versatility of our work. Each conversion is approached as a structural alteration rather than a cosmetic exercise, ensuring the finished space integrates seamlessly with your home.

What is Involved in a Garage Renovation?

A professionally delivered garage renovation from Rock Projects requires careful coordination of multiple trades and compliance processes. Our service typically includes:

  • Structural assessment and feasibility review
  • Alterations to walls, floors, and openings
  • Installation of insulation, damp protection, and ventilation
  • New windows and external doors where required
  • First and second fix electrics and plumbing
  • Heating integration and energy efficiency upgrades
  • Plastering, joinery, flooring, and internal finishes

All works are carried out in accordance with building regulations, ensuring the converted space meets the same standards as the rest of the property.

Integrated Construction Expertise

As a builder offering a full range of building services, we can manage garage remodels alongside related works, including house extensions, kitchen extensions, and internal reconfiguration projects. This is particularly valuable where a garage conversion forms part of a wider refurbishment or redevelopment scheme.

We also regularly undertake conversions in conjunction with structural alterations, drainage works, and associated groundworks, ensuring continuity throughout the build.

FAQs – Garage Conversions

Do garage conversions require planning permission?

In many cases, garage conversions fall under permitted development rights. However, this depends on factors such as property type, location, and previous alterations. We can advise on whether planning permission is required and work alongside planning consultants where necessary.

Will the converted space meet Building Regulations?

Yes. All garage renovations are delivered in full compliance with building regulations, including requirements for insulation, fire safety, ventilation, structural integrity, and energy efficiency.

Do you undertake detached garage conversions?

Yes. We undertake conversions of both integral and detached garages, adapting the construction approach to suit your home’s structure, location, and intended use. Detached garages can be converted into independent accommodation, studios, offices, or leisure spaces, subject to planning and building regulation considerations. We provide guidance on feasibility, services integration, insulation, and access, ensuring your garage to living space project is compliant, practical, and well-integrated with the wider property.

Can an integral garage be converted without significantly affecting the rest of the house?

Integral garages can often be converted with minimal impact on the main living areas when the works are carefully planned and professionally managed. We assess structural considerations, access requirements, fire separation, insulation, and sound control at an early stage to ensure the conversion integrates seamlessly with its surroundings. Construction sequencing is planned to limit disruption, maintain household safety, and ensure the finished space functions as a natural extension of the home rather than a later addition.
